V\u00e9t\u00e9ran de longue date de Rare et concepteur de jeux influent Gregg Mayles, qui est avec l’entreprise depuis 35 ans, quitte suite \u00e0 l’annulation cette semaine d’Everwild. Selon des sources aupr\u00e8s de VGC, il quitte Microsoft. Mayles \u00e9tait membre fondateur de Rare et est cr\u00e9dit\u00e9 sur Solar Jetman, sorti pour NES et borne d’arcade en 1990. Il a dirig\u00e9 Everwild depuis le r\u00e9am\u00e9nagement de l’\u00e9quipe en 2021. Au cours de son mandat de trois d\u00e9cennies aupr\u00e8s du d\u00e9veloppeur britannique, il a supervis\u00e9 des jeux tels que Donkey Kong Country et sa suite, Banjo-Kazooie et Tooie, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, et Viva Pi\u00f1ata. Chez Microsoft, il a travaill\u00e9 sur Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Kinect Sports, et a occup\u00e9 le poste de directeur de la cr\u00e9ation pour Sea of Thieves. Au total, Mayles a travaill\u00e9 sur pr\u00e8s de 30 jeux chez Rare. Une autre v\u00e9t\u00e9rane de longue date de Rare, Louise O’Connor, qui s’est fait remarquer avec Conker’s Bad Fur Day pour la Nintendo 64, quitte \u00e9galement l’entreprise. Cette semaine, Microsoft a annonc\u00e9 l’annulation d’Everwild, le remaniement de Perfect Dark, et la fermeture du studio The Initiative, ainsi que des licenciements touchant jusqu’\u00e0 9 000 employ\u00e9s dans toute l’entreprise.<\/p>\n
En prenant en compte les changements importants dans l’industrie du jeu vid\u00e9o avec le d\u00e9part de Gregg Mayles chez Rare, il est \u00e9galement int\u00e9ressant de noter la fin d’une autre saga longue dur\u00e9e. L’article r\u00e9cent de Jonathan Dubinski, \u00ab\u00a0Production of The Boys Season 5 Complete\u00a0\u00bb, publi\u00e9 le 3 juillet, marque la fin d’une \u00e9poque pour les fans de la s\u00e9rie \u00e0 succ\u00e8s de Prime Video. Le cr\u00e9ateur Eric Kripke a annonc\u00e9 que le tournage \u00e9tait termin\u00e9 et que la post-production \u00e9tait en cours, ce qui envoie un message doux-amer alors qu’ils se pr\u00e9parent \u00e0 r\u00e9v\u00e9ler la menace ultime de Homelander dans la derni\u00e8re saison. Pour ceux qui suivent l’histoire des Boys depuis son lancement en 2019, n’oubliez pas de consulter [lien] pour toutes les derni\u00e8res mises \u00e0 jour. Alors que la communaut\u00e9 de joueurs continue de faire face \u00e0 l’annulation r\u00e9cente du titre ambitieux de Microsoft, Everwild, il est int\u00e9ressant de se pencher sur une autre d\u00e9ception importante qui a \u00e9branl\u00e9 la strat\u00e9gie Xbox l’an dernier : le sort myst\u00e9rieux de Perfect Dark. L’enqu\u00eate d\u00e9taill\u00e9e de Sophie Laurent sur la suppos\u00e9e fausse d\u00e9mo et la d\u00e9sillusion subs\u00e9quente parmi les joueurs est une lecture incontournable. Publi\u00e9 le 3 juillet 2025, son article \u00e9claire sur les pratiques marketing trompeuses entourant ce jeu tr\u00e8s attendu qui \u00e9tait cens\u00e9 \u00eatre le projet phare de Xbox. Les lecteurs int\u00e9ress\u00e9s par les implications plus larges de tels \u00e9v\u00e9nements pour l’industrie du jeu vid\u00e9o doivent absolument consulter l’analyse pertinente de Sophie \u00e0 [lien].
