We heard a rumor a long time ago that the developers of Black were making a new first-person-shooter, and that same bit of gossip has reared its head once more, accompanied by fresh details. This time, the project has been confirmed by Codemasters, who has been revealed as a co-conspirator.
The new game is being designed by Stuart Black, senior designer on Criterion's popular 2005 shooter, and a man conceited enough to share a name with his own game. Sony London graduate Tom Gillo and former Blackrock senior producer Andrew Wilson have joined the eight man team behind this mystery shooter.
This could all possibly tie in with the shooter that Official Xbox Magazine teased in its last issue. If these two stories are linked, then it could very well turn out that Black 2 is in the works and will be revealed very soon. Of course, this could also be something totally new. Either way, this game has some solid talent behind it so it's going to definitely be a game to watch.

FUCKING FINALLY!
Since it's Codies making it too, I have pretty high hopes after DiRT2 was fantastic.
Though there is sorta a difference between an FPS and a racer, of course.
Anyone played Black thru Xbox Originals? How does it feel in this day n age? Criterion did a splendid job of squeezing oomph out of the original xbox.
So Halo, Resistance, Gears, Killzone, CoD, Medal of Honor, MAG, and Battlefield aren't enough?
I mean, that's not even considering SOCOM, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, or even Bioshock to a lesser degree.
Depending on just what the heck it is, I'll either be interested or just outright not caring.
People who like free shit.
The level of destruction capable on current generation hardware, in HD, is almost too much for the mind to process.
Story sucked balls, but it was a fun game.
also- pcfanboyz4lyfe eh smoger?
