Hai! You may know me as Professor Pew in older times. If you see a cblog here from beyond September 2010 or something: that's from the cblogging days and not anything editor-related :)
Someone either sneakily cammed this interview, used a really fucked up camera, or they had a guy cut out a circle in a piece of black paper and had him hold it in front of the lens after a long night of hard drinking.
Anyway, some guy uploaded this Jade Raymond interview about Assassin's Creed and other things on Gametrailers:
Highlights (not much news):
- The "modern" looking highlighting on npc's are not a hint for any role of the modern age in the story. Just an art-direction decision to make certain elements a bit clearer (or so she says)
- NO DEMO will be released: either it would spoil something or they are rushing to get it out in time?
- Average of 18 hours to complete it, if you only do the main story elements. About 40 hours with the sidequests
- Guys laugh like excited middleschool boys when Jade makes a joke.
- Jesus in a game would be overpowered
- If Assassin's Creed does well (which it will), there will definitely be an Assassin's Creed 2 and years of more Jade videos. YES!
- "The way the game was designed has openings for smaller episodic stuff" so we can guess that the story has enough depth to expand. But it's still only stuff for the far future.
- They talk about Beyond Good and Evil a couple of times, Jade mentions how it got critical acclaim even if it didn't sell well, but earlier on she mentions how games like Assassin's Creed are not the most mainstream titles and Ubisoft supports that way of thinking.
- Jade would think about producing a Beyond Good and Evil 2 (there was a Jade in that too) but she needs a vacation first. Awwww, we're here for you Jade!
Oh Jade, you truly are the real-life Samantha from Grandma's Boy...
@Jim
Jade is phenomenally gorgeous, but I'm really only hot for the game itself. Seriously, this is easily my most anticipated game. It's just a nice bonus that it's being produced by an attractive female gamer. We really need more attractive women in the gaming industry, so it'll become less abnormal and the fawning will quiet down somewhat.
Well, we'll have to agree to disagree, Jim. I think she's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Everything that I know and can see of her is astoundingly gorgeous. However, she's one of many women that I will never meet, and so I see very little need to fawn over her, especially when her game is so much more fuckable, IMO.
I think she is quite good looking. Not the hottest girl I've ever seen on a screen, but she has a very natural charm. And she knows her game while still appearing human. For me, it gives her that Buñuelian obscure object of desire vibe.

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
But I still want Assassin's Creed. There's just not much news coming out about it, so I'll just wait till it's out in the meantime.

LOL @ that collage. Do I get a Jade face, too?
And Neonie, sure:
