Rare's Everwild game has lost it's creative director.

[Mike809]

Everwild‘s most senior developer, creative director Simon Woodroffe, has resigned from his position at Rare, VGC understands.

In a statement issued to VGC, the Microsoft owned studio confirmed the departure and insisted that Everwild development would be in good hands going forward.

Studio head Craig Duncan said: “We thank Simon for all his hard work on Everwild and wish him the very best of luck for the future.

Everwild’s direction will now seemingly be left solely to executive producer Louise O’Connor, the Conker’s Bad Fur Day animator who has led most of the game’s promotion.

The game’s lead designer is former Lionhead designer James Blackham, who joined Rare from Square Enix last year specifically to work on the game.

Aint this the game, they said they don't even know what it will be yet
MS buying studios is a good thing they said

It’s crazy ...

Developers and studio heads are realizing that without adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, you’re just wasting your time.

Why is this news?

 

[the_FUTURE]

the way i read it is that there's nothing to be alarmed about.

This will happen a lot with the acquisition of so many studios and poaching talent from other companies.

not everyone will work well together, which is why when people say sony grows their talent in house its with companies that work well together and work well with sony.

It's like htinking you can just throw anyone nice on an NBA team and win a championship.

Did he at least learn what the game was gonna be before he left?
