Pointing it out is one thing. Hurling sexual invective - or worse - is something entirely fucking different.

Pretty sure the one on "Imagine Babies" isn't her, though.

Unless you've been stalking Jade, and have seen her hauling kids around in her homelife... :wink:

Depends - is the emphasis on his looks or his software?

For fucksake we're talking about the same folks who dragged up 'the fragdolls' who are nothing more than a girlband for gamers. Ubisoft are cynically marketing using the sex angle. I know it only works because people are dumb enough to go for it, otherwise it wouldn't happen in the first place, but how come it's the people who point the whole scam out who are the great evil?

The girls involved must know what the score is, the marketing folks know what they're doing and anyone who says otherwise is taking the piss.
See Acronym's reply to the same post to see why that's rubbish.

Incidentally, the Grand Master of my Martial Art recently did an interview for Combat magazine which made the front cover. But rather than use a picture of him, they used a picture of his daughter who's in her mid-twenties and bloody gorgeous.

By your logic he's exploiting her and cynically marketing using the sex angle whilst she's being portrayed as a more upmarket version of the booth babe.

There is a big difference between a good looking woman doing her job and a woman who's been asked to do a job solely because she's good looking.

She seems to be missing the mole in the baby picture, but the chin, hair and nose seems the same. Not sure myself.

No..it's just that for a PR person, she seems to have a PR problem regarding her pulling her lips up around her teeth when she smiles. It makes her look creepy and sinister. Where as a homely smile with a child in her arms would make me warm to her as a family person. Even though I know she's faking it for a cover of a video game.

Any which category do you think our Jade would fit into then?

That's mean. :(

Ubisoft have clearly been quite cunning in how they've used her to draw interest to the game (which looks pretty darn interesting anyway), but that cartoon paints her as a stupid slut, which seems totally unjustified and totally unnecessary.

Bad internets! Go to your room!

Exactly!

I don't know, who or what is Jade Raymond, what has she done? To be honest the only reason at the moment I see for her being there is twofold, firstly because she's very pretty and secondly because your typical male gamer is a a teenager/twenty something lusty male with an overactive sex-drive!

I don't know, Rod likened her to Miyamoto and Molyneux earlier. Is this correct is she really on par with the above two gaming "personalities"?

*If* Ubisoft are pushing her to the front because of her good looks then isn't this an issue?

Is this the sort of game's industry we want, akin to Hollywood-like where personalities without substance become important.

That's a much more clever way of putting forward the same point. Ubi have clearly made her the 'face' (and body ;) ) of Assassins Creed, and this photoshop job gets the point across perfectly without resorting to outright slander. Reminds me a bit of the ace DS-lite 'It prints money!!1' image.

Mind you, it's hardly an isolated incident. Admittedly Shigsy doesn't use the cock-teasing trick (unless there are any gamers out there that get off on 50 year old japanese men), but how often do you hear about or see pictures of the individuals that work on the big Nintendo games? It's always shigsy this and shigsy that - no doubt that he's ace on toast, but there's still a ton of incredibly talented people behind him doing all the actual work that do their thang in total anonymity.

To be fair he had nothing to do with drawing it and the trouble's been caused by someone else posting it on the SA forums. It's the Ubi lawyers not having a clue that's resulted in him getting a cease and desist,

Yup. It's pretty tame for Chugworth Academy too. That's probably why it didn't make the main comic.
