Warren
Spector exits Eidos on GameSpot (thanks Frans) has word that the famed
designer has parted ways with ION/Eidos. They quote a spokesperson as saying:
"Eidos announces that Warren Spector has relinquished his role as Studio
Director at Ion Storm. Warren has chosen to pursue personal interests outside
the company, but he will continue to work for Eidos as an IP consultant. His
insight and expertise is highly valued by Eidos, and the company looks forward
to continuing its relationship with Warren in his new role." The story goes on
to speculate that Warren's consulting with Eidos may be on the next Tomb Raider
game and repeat rumors of a possible move to Midway. In another developer
departure,
Fred Nilsson's .plan File announces the animator is leaving id Software to
return to the movie industry.
Wow, there's so much bullshit in this thread.
First of all, Harvey Smith left voluntarily. He was not fired.
DX:IW was a much more innovative game than it's given credit for, but the presentation was very poor. I understand why people didn't like it.
But Thief 3 was a great game. Don't let your 'hatred' or whatever of DX:IW blind you to that. Thief 3 was excellent.
And as I understand it, Ion Storm had a new studio director several months back, so Spector leaving doesn't seem very surprising.
