David Wise Leaves Rare

*XERO* · 12-11-2009, 02:12 PM

Rare was holding him back big time since they went Microsoft.

I say he comes back to Nintendo. Just sayin'.

I hope not. Outside of Japan, Nintendo is in as bad of shape as Rare when it comes to creative projects that require five star soundtracks. If he goes freelance he can work for whoever he wants, including Nintendo.

I should also mention that (the awesome) Steve Burke left a while ago as well. Just thought Dave was more worth mentioning because he was one of the three original Rare employees alongside the Stampers. I think this is pretty much the end of the line for them. Frankly, I wish Robin and Eveline would leave too.

It'd be crazy if they replaced him with Yuzo Koshiro.

One of the rumors I'm hearing is that Dave left because Tim Stamper is starting a new studio (since M$ has wrecked Rare like almost every other damn third party dev they bought in the last ten years). Greg Mayles may actually not be far behind Dave.

Also, did you know that Wise, Kirkhope, and Beanland did a track together for the new OC Remix DKC2 album?

That's rawesome, noting the fact that Dave is a big fan of the site. And you know what's funny? I actually plowed through DKC2 not too long ago and fell in love once again.

Rare is doomed. It already takes them an eternity to produce a game. And now a days its extremely hit or miss. And now they loose one of their core players. Pfft they might as well just not exsist. Rare. Why the heck did you go to Microsoft? Why?

More money would be the logical deduction.
