Thief Gets
Release Date on IGN reports receiving an official release date from Eidos
for Thief: Deadly Shadows, ION Storm's upcoming third installment in the
stealthy Thief series that began at Looking Glass Studios. According to the
story, the game is expected for release on both the PC and Xbox on May 26,
though the territories covered on that date are not specified.
18. Debate continues as to whether or not Spector's team is responsible for Daikatana.
That wasnt the debate at all. Doesnt matter that it was two different teams. They share a name and they share history. You don't differentiate between Blizzard South and Blizzard North do you? You dont differentiate between the different EA offices, San Francisco, Vancouver, Austrailia...no, Blizzard is Blizzard and EA is EA. Ion Storm is still Ion Storm, whether it is 100% different people and in a different location.
I used to work for EA Vancouver, since I left, they have moved offices, changed about 99% of the staff. It is still the same company making games, regardless of the staff changes.
Bottomline is Ion Storm, old and new, has failed to make more than 1 (debatably 2) good games according to mass appeal.
The bad rap still sticks with the name and they still use the old ionstorm.com website. Looking Glass obviously wasnt all about Warren Spector, since he has failed to even come close to the success Looking Glass was able to obtain...again debatable since they werent making enough money to stay open.
Anachronox is obviously debatable, since every game is subject to opinion on how good/bad it is. It obviously wasn't good enough for people to word to spread that it was worth the money to buy it, so people that liked it are in the minority. Concidering it could be compared to Final Fantasy, it paled in comparison.
