I bet this "remaster" will run like ass and take up 50GB of space or more.

It was cool, but I don't understand the fascination. I played hundreds of cool games in that era. None of which got this attention. What gives?

I can't speak for anyone else but what made it stand out to me was the sense of style. You don't get many games that play and look like a Franco-Belgian comic book, it's either very American or Japanese, even when French studios make the games. Rayman is remembered for the same reason I think, other platformers just didn't have the same pizzazz.

I tried this game multiple times and always gave up due to boredom.

Years ago I bought a mouse Y axis inverter driver to play this game. Might come in handy for some people:

The lighting effects look off, jades staff still looks like it is square rather than cylindrical. Still, this is nostalgia to me. I wonder if the original will run on windows 10.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

I wonder if the original will run on windows 10.

Well I just recently played it, so yes.

 

[Johnny Rico]

Played this game on original Xbox with CRT TV, looked and runned great, good game, great atmosphere. Tried HD port on PS3 recently with not much passion. Definitely will play it again on this remaster, using some dirty TV shader to put some visual nostalgy

for newfriends - don't get dissuaded by sneaking missions, we've done it fifty years ago and you can very well do it too

Looking back, this was one of the first DEI games. Protagonist is a "non-sexualized" (ie: average looking) asian woman whose AI partner is a black latino guy with a sassy accent.

Anita Sarkeesian considered Jade one of the "best representation of women in videogames"

Yeah totally non-sexualized and plain-looking. Nothing hot to see here at all.

Nothing whatsoever.

niccas be so mindbroken they count the tit pixels on the models

It's just extremely French. Look at the Fifth Element and Chris Tucker's character. Frogs heckin' love stories with attractive women and multiethnic casts.

Yes, she ain't sexy.



Also her ass (the most important thing in a third-person game) is a pancake.

 

[Modron]

Looks like they Hank Hilled her backside a bit in the remake.

It's a kids game you idiot.

Also, the remaster looks shit.

Euros getting into big asses is a more recent development than 2004. She's attractive by the French standards of the time.

 

[JarlFrank]

The only argument I'd buy from the "not sexy" angle is that she's wearing big closed boots that hide her feet... but so did Lara Croft and she's a sex symbol!

Please tell us more about French beauty standards from 20 years ago. I'm sure you have a deep understanding of this topic.
