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.
Hmmmm ... we amy need to call in the big guns to combat the voter apathy.....
Calling Derek Smart!!!!
Now that's what I'm talking about!!
Actually, I do have a comment on Spector's departure. Anyone who denies Spector's impact on <begin qualifier> pc <end qualifier> gaming isn't giving him credit he deserves. It does bum me out that DX:IW was so consolized, but that really is a matter of preference and jilted expectations. I'm not really suprised to see Spector leave as I've always felt Ion Storms existence was rather tenuous. I wish him luck and I will keep an eye out for whatever project he works on next.
