I can probably count the people who would give a damn about this one one hand, but the title speaks for itself. Its terribly sad to me as probably one of the few Rare fans left on the planet. This is a devastating loss for them, and probably comes as a direct result of Microsoft completely refocusing the company on casual Natal software to the point that they cancel all their "real" games. So as a (now) fading Rare fan, I'm devastated.
Now, as a fan of David Wise personally, I'm glad he finally left. Rare hasn't used his music in a single console game this decade (Starfox Adventures doesn't count as it was a completed/ported up N64 soundtrack). They just don't give him work anymore (they've canceled most of the games he was working on), and he's still to this day tied with Koji for my favorite VGM composer. I hope he goes freelance and gets a sh*t-ton of work.
