why that comic always pop up in my mind when i see jade.

 

[Boss Man]

Well uh, yeah that is true. Not sure if this can even be discussed.

 

[Aguirre]

jade is such an inspiration for me, she's really awesome. ^_^ i wonder what she's doing at this exact moment

 

[Kinyou]

None of the footage I've seen of the game so far would lead me to believe it's a stealth experience at all.

The latest footage didn't looks so bad.

Hardly the "best stealth experience" but at least better than conviction.

 

[Schnozberry]

She's not wrong about innovation coming from lower-budget indie titles but it's weird when she immediately transitions into a plug for the seventh console entry in a AAA franchise that has become another third person shooter with chest-high walls everywhere. Congratulations Ubisoft on getting your multimillion dollar game into the press again, I guess.

Yeah, the plug for Splinter Cell was a bit ham handed. I'm not going to prejudge the game, but thus far it seems like another attempt to resurrect a dead horse for another beating.

 

[partyphone]

I see everyone here is extremely jaded.

Uhhh?

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Of course not, but it's not driven by Ubisoft either.

Ice cold but I agree, Ubisofts games are soulless and reek of design by committee

Aguirre, you funny girl.

 

[kadotsu]

It is weird that most AAA leads are aware of the indie scene but don't take many lessons from it. Blockbuster titles, except for very few more auteur games, are very one note, high action focused. Give me my quite moments and more cerebral mechanics.

 

[SmokyDave]

I'll file that observation under 'N' for 'No shit, Sherlock'.

"With Splinter Cell Blacklist, not only do I think that the team is delivering the best stealth experience of this generation...

I believe I recall seeing sam kill about 2 dozen guys in that first look at blacklist. I wonder if this woman has heard of dishonored or the new thief game?

As far as I can tell, blacklist looks like a linear assassin's creed with guns and explosives and gadgets and not as cool terrain traversal.

 

[Alucrid]

Is wearing two wife beaters and a blouse normal? (maybe I'm seeing the outfit wrong?)

I guess I shouldn't pick on her, she seems like a nice person and I always liked her.

Try and resist that urge you had in the crocodile t shirt thread because you don't understand something. Thanks.

Yeah, it really is weird for her to talk up one of her products. Who does that sort of thing?

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Ubisoft's name has always been synonymous with innovation and new ideas.

 

[Dark Octave]

Yeah. Women wear tank tops and blouses. It's massively common.

I believe that's called a tank top, not a wife beater.

Yeah but is she wearing two of them?

I don't wanna further derail with stupid stuff so I'll just stop here.

$100,000.00 shirt...just saying.

 

[leesmapman]

I think I know someone who's going the social gaming route.

 

[Neuromancer]

How to Layer Tank Tops

It's like a thing.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

well when you're trying to make a point about something, it does kind of cheapen the whole thing.

 

[Dragon]

None of the footage I've seen of the game so far would lead me to believe it's a stealth experience at all.

I saw a PAX East demo which indicates it can be a big part of the game if you want it to be. You can hide in the shadows, etc. Not sure if that video has been released, but it's certainly interesting.

 

[Megasoum]

That's a super old picture (like pre Assassin's Creed 1 era) so maybe it was trendy back then? I dunno.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Not alone, no, but it is quite a big driving force. More power = better physics, destructibility, grander scale, bigger world size while still preserving detail, number of NPCs (think huge armies). You can simply do more interesting things.

She's dead wrong about Splinter Cell Blacklist though. Game looks like shit.

 

[eot]

Why she dress like that?

Heh
My reaction to the picture was noting that no one bothers to embed pictures when they quote interviews with male devs.

I agree that it doesn't look innovative at all but I wouldn't call it shit. Seems on par with everything else this gen for the most part.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Yeah, it really is weird for her to talk up one of her products. Who does that sort of thing?

Perhaps not unexpected but it's strange that she'd not think before creating such an awkward juxtaposition. It's like she's admitting her game is not driving any kind of innovation but saying that's okay because it's still a game.

If you read what she says, she's saying the next splinter cell is innovative.

 

[onQ123]

True but more power is sometimes needed to show your innovation off better with less limits.

I searched the keyword 'Jade' before posting this thread

Have you ever seen a girl in real life?

Probably pretending to be a boy on an internet forum.

 

[bigtroyjon]

2nd high profile dev in as many days to minimize the importance of raw power, Microsoft organized PR campaign?

 

[Dragon]

Sounds like she would program BF4 for the WiiU if it was in her control with a statement like that!

 

[Ironmask]

I think that our console generation is already capable of giving game designers the right amount of power to design pretty much what they want (except large scale scenes with millions of different actors in scene, but can you name me a book with over 10000 different characters?) (except Dante's Divine Comedy).

The next gen is just candy for our eyes, The next part in gaming design is putting the design workspace frome the TV/Console to the Player itself (aka virtual reality). but it's something at the very beginning.

edit: didn't realize you guys were talking about Jade. How in the hell she's so photogenic and hot in every photo? daaaamn!

 

[partyphone]

True but more power is sometimes needed to show your innovation off better with less limits.

Except a lot of innovation happens because of constraints.

Take the constraints and limitations away from someone who was previously innovative and you get the Star Wars prequels.

 

[old manatee]

EA wants to tell us what drm is, Ubisoft wants to tell us about innovation...

 

[FieryBalrog]

She's right, but since she's a woman and works for a large development house, she'll be the subject of innuendo and ad hominem attacks for this entire thread.

It's a good thing you pre-empted that discussion by kicking off that discussion.

Oh, please don't say that.

Last thing I want from MS is another WiiU.

 

[rvy]

With Splinter Cell Blacklist, not only do I think that the team is delivering the best stealth experience of this generation

 

[SniperHunter]

she is right...

 

[Baconsammy]

Isn't Splinter Cell the game with those incredibly violent trailers made for it? That's a stealth title? Wow. Who knew.

 

[DassoBrother]

I don't know. You'd have to be pretty innovative to kill off a highly promising franchise like Assassin's Creed off with the swiftness that Ubi managed to.

I wouldn't call annual entries in a franchise innovative. Everybody's doing it.

 

[rvy]

Isn't Splinter Cell the game with those incredibly violent trailers made for it? That's a stealth title? Wow. Who knew.

Blind stealth.

 

[Kazerei]

"With Splinter Cell Blacklist, not only do I think that the team is delivering the best stealth experience of this generation, I also think that we are delivering a completely new multiplayer experience. Hopefully unique gameplay is still something that can make a game stand out.”

I know she has to be positive, but I still laughed.

 

[-PXG-]

The sky is blue too

 

[Jburton]

Wow! What a blindingly obvious insight.

Wonder how many hours of pondering and deep thought it took to come up with that?

 

[Dark Octave]

Blind stealth.

Hilarious as that is, the fact that it says "pre-alpha footage" takes a little wind out of those sails.

HOPEFULLY, the final game isn't that dumb.

 

[Jacobi]

I'd say innovation is destroyed by conventional game producers right now... Just like Hollywood has significantly gone worse since the 90s...

 

[Baconsammy]

Blind stealth.

And deaf apparently. You can't hear a guy jumping over a wall and landing 3 feet behind you?
