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.
No they hyped the shit out of IW. Warren Spector, Harvey Smith, and others on the team were constantly whoring themselves with all sorts of interviews and previews. Every god damn form of media was convinced it would be amazing.
I gotta respectfully disagree with ya there. Just because they do interviews doesn't mean they "hyped the shit out of it". It means someone read enough of the interviews and became hyped, thinking it might be the second coming.
There is a difference. They didn't pull a Romero. The games just didn't live up to the previous ones in the series.
