Dude Behind Black: "Current First-Person Shooters Are Boring!"

You may have heard that Stuart Black, the dude that created PS2 shooter Black, is now working with Codemasters on a new FPS IP

Indeed, the likelihood is that Codemasters' latest will be a spiritual successor to the popular Black. And the dude has fire in his belly, as he's told OXM he's bored of current shooters:

"There's a lot of cover-based shooters out at the moment," he told OXM. "But when a guy hunkers down behind something, you've just got to sit there and wait for him to pop his head up. Pops up, couple of bullets to his head, pops back down again.. and I'm waiting for him to pop back up again? Boring. I can't be bothered hanging around like that."</blockquote>

<span>Black was a pivotal release for its time, offering more explosions than common sense, so it's exciting to see Stuart back behind the saddle and working on a new shooter. Especially with Codemasters' awesome EGO engine at hand.
