Lionhead won’t “just sip Microsoft’s Kool-Aid” – creative director talks replacing Molyneux
“We’re at the opposite end of the scale to where Microsoft normally are,” says creative director.
Lionhead isn’t just a bunch of yes-men in branded T-shirts, leaping through hoops proffered by Uncle Microsoft, creative director Gary Carr has insisted to OXM. As with Forza 5 developer Turn 10, the manufacturer has been careful not to meddle with Lionhead’s studio culture and creative “identity” – the recent appointment of the “very, very non-Microsofty” former Cryptic CEO John Needham as studio head is proof of this, Carr suggests.
