Unhappy David Wise Leaves Rare

It says on David Wise's Wikipedia page that he announced his leaving Rare on October 30th...did anyone else know about this? I know Wikipedia is sometimes wrong, but still...

First Grant, then Steve, and now David...What a bummer.

Now my interest in Rare's future projects, which was already low, is now pretty much nonexistent...

Edit: He confirmed it on his Facebook page

"I think the business of Rare has changed a great deal, and at the moment there is just not the opportunity to create the soundtracks that Rare were fortunately very famous for."

The only faith I have left in Rare, is Beanland. If he leaves, then it's a wrap.

It says on Wikipedia he is now a freelance game composer like Steve Burke.

And yeah, if Robin leaves too...then Rare is officially dead to me.

Well they're obviously leaving since Rare is shit now. They need to work for good developers.

So they can reunite under a new name.

Honestly, and I didn't want to believe it at first, it's more than likely because of Microsoft trying to make then into their "casual gamer" developer, and their forcing Rare to work on that stupid-ass Project Natal.

Microsoft has ripped Rares soul out in favor of fruitlessly competing with the Wii. What a tragic waste.

Are you serious?


Sure he made good music, but just because he left doesn't mean new games are going to suck.

Come on now.
