Hey, remember
Black, the PS2 and Xbox FPS
created by Criterion Games before it went all-in on
Burnout Paradise? Turns out the name wasn't just short for "black ops" -- the senior designer on the title was
Stuart Black, and the vice president of development for
Codemasters has now confirmed that
he's working on a new game in a new studio for the company. Black will join former game director at Sony London, Tom Gillo, and senior producer Andrew Wilson on an 80-person team working with Codemasters' EGO engine to develop the brand-new IP, which the UK's Official Xbox Magazine seems to be hinting is "the shooter that everybody asked for."
We've heard a lot of people ask for a next-gen
No One Lives Forever sequel, but that's probably not what they mean.
Black did have
some nice stylistic twists, however, so while this game is definitely not a direct sequel (Criterion still owns that IP), we'll expect to see Black's ideas assembled in a new form.
