Stuart Black, creator of Black, has told Official Xbox Magazine that the current selection of first-person shooters are “fucking boring”, blaming enemies constantly covering causing players to sit there and wait.
“There’s a lot of cover-based shooters out at the moment,” he told Official Xbox Magazine in a recent interview. “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? Fucking boring. I can’t be bothered hanging around like that.”
Black is currently game director of a new first-person shooter in development at Codemasters. It’s expected to be revealed in the next issues of OXM and OPM.
