Jade Raymond: ‘VR will transform games.’

Ubisoft Toronto’s Jade Raymond is famous for being the face of the original Assassin’s Creed. A videogame series which has since gone on to be one of Ubisoft’s biggest cash cows and allowed Raymond to climb to a place of not insignificant authority. However, it’s not her current job that’s of interest to the virtual reality (VR) community, but rather her ideas for the future.

Think best application for VR in gaming would certainly be the Horror genre.

May I be the douche who mentions the porn industry? I mean, people (especially in certain eastern cultures) spend THOUSANDS of dollars on GIANT DOLLS...

I'm just saying... realistically, they should (indirectly) market to that industry...

Actually, I think I saw an article about an orifice peripheral in Japan........

@prime

Totally agree bra, believe it or not without porn the vhs format would never of took off like it did, porn can help push vr to the masses

I hate to think what impact a high fidelity horror title might have in VR, considering that I totally crap myself with simple tech demos that have the most basic of graphics and have even a hint of horror in them, think Playstation 1 graphics.

[Si-Fly]

I disagree, having owned a DK1 and with a DK2 on order I think the best application is anything cockpit related, specifically racing and flying sims.

[WeAreLegion]

I totally agree. It's freaking incredible.

She's hot!!!

Heard that before. Ive still got my 3D Television burning money in the corner of my room.

[Bathyj]

I would buy a Jade Redmond VR game.

[Emme]

VR is not gonna be what we see with the Rift or similiar devices, thats for sure.

[Perjoss]

With the amount of support and Oculus already has considering its nowhere near being released is very promising. I imagine its not that hard to to implement into existing games as even the smallest indy teams are adding support for it to their games for free.

[Imalwaysright]

Some genres... racers, FPS or 1st person view games like Skyrim or Outlast. The Bayonettas, Super Marios or Assassins Creeds are a different story.

[hano]

All hail the wisdom of this dump chick repeating what she hears other industry people saying.

I would like to see a VR game where you play as Jade making sandwitches. Jade Raymond Sandwitch-Making simulator. ohhh think how many horny losers (mostly Sony fans) will buy that game Ubisoft and fap to it.

[SpideySpeakz]

Yeah because, everyone knows Nintendo's motion control was da bomb, huh dawg? You was motion fapping to mario, huh son? Lol

[medman]

You have to laugh at the absurdity of a lonely loser calling Jade Raymond a "dump chick". Good luck with that.

[mixelon]

The hell? She's a freaking producer, and significantly more qualified on this, and probably every subject than yourself, random angry internet guy.

[e-p-ayeaH]

VR will be a fad just like the Kinect ,motion controlers,3D and other crap.

If ppl didnt find 3D an usefull thing then VR will be just as that unless you wanna feel like a moron staring at wall while sitting on a chair...im sad that sony is actually spending money on this but fanboys will support it just like the forgotten ps move and 3D...

[hano]

You're the only guy who is criticizing VR and I agree with you to some extent. However, I think VR will be a bit more popular than 3D if only bec people love FPS nowadays.

[e-p-ayeaH]

yeah i understand ppl want new exciting things but this is dumb.

[S2Killinit]

thats quite a different take on VR from Ubi's last public comment regarding the tech
