[VGC] Rare's Everwild has lost its creative director

Isn't this game very early anyway? Didn't they literally say that they don't know what the game will become in the end? So it doesn't seem like a big deal to lose the creative director this early.
Since they are so early in development and still don't know the direction they want to go in, I don't think this is a big deal.
Just don't expect this game to come out any time soon.

Troubling news coming out of MS first party studios over the last couple of days. Guess we have to see how this impacts things moving forward.
I got the vibe that this game was pretty early in its development, anyway, so I'm not too concerned. I can't wait to learn more about it, though. Such a cool-looking game.
This is indeed how jobs work. You work at one, see another that you'd like to work at, and then go work there if you get it and hopefully get more money. I'm confused why people seem to have forgotten this.
Yes, Matt Booty. He's the head of Xbox Game Studios, think Xbox's equivalent to Herman Hulst.
Didn't they basically say they aren't sure what the game will even be yet, not too long ago? So probably not as impactful as losing a Creative Director normally is, but still never really a good sign 1 leaving mid development.
Ahh, ok thanks. At least they have someone in the role.
I'm still looking forward to Everwild. Should still be fine hopefully.
Like people have said, the game feels like it's still veeeeeery early in production, so it's not that bad. However, the timing could not be any worse for XGS, really bad optics.
Did anyone read the article or did they just jump in to troll post: No reason was given for the creative director's decision to leave, though studio sources told VGC that he had been absent for some time after submitting his resignation earlier this month.
This sounds like he left himself either for personal or career reasons, nothing to do with the game or the studio.

You have to be kidding me right? Everything fallin apart? Are you for real?
Bold of you to assume people read the threads on ERA.
I know Phil talks a sweet game about how their studios have freedom and everything is going well, but losing two high raking devs at the same time really tells another tale.
Jobs work that way, sure, but the article doesn't say that at all!
"No reason was given for the creative director's decision to leave, though studio sources told VGC that he had been absent for some time after submitting his resignation earlier this month."
It'll be fine. They threw out that trailer without knowing what type of game it was going to be.
Read through the article.
In summary, the creative director resigned and has now been replaced.
how does that translate to these doom and gloom posts here ?
People resign or leave their jobs everyday. There's multiple ex-Naughty dogs and SSM devs and creatives at the Initiative. Would you call those mismanaged too?
Rod Fergusson left the Coalition to helm Diablo. Does that say the Coalition is in trouble too?

Does it? Care to give any examples besides these news and 343 (which has been in trouble in a looooooooong time)?
lmao
