It may have been all but overlooked at launch, but Bodycount is well worth a look for fans or arcade gaming.
YouTube’s ‘John GodGames Emus’ and ‘Emulators for PC’ have shared some new videos, showing GUN, Bodycount, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Wanted: Weapons of Fate and more running on the latest version of the best Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia.
GI - Stuart Black on unfinished projects, the blame culture and going it alone.
Stuart Black reveals he had an "open world cop game" in the pre-production phase whilst at Codemasters, but it became a "little bit too rich for their blood" after a year and a half. Problem lies in production.
He had no life ambition to "make another shooter after Black," but it was 'relatively easy' to do. Codemasters fault wasn't in creativity but in its execution of development.
CodeDisasters is terrible in general.
They make mediocre games on a GOOD day.
They make the most amazing racing games out of anyone. Yes their shooters are bad hence why they have now just become code masters racing and will only make racing games.
Interesting, too bad Bodycount was the worst. I literally had to restart my system after every checkpoint on the final boss because the game would glitch and wouldn't allow me to pick up orbs. I always found it ironic their company name was Codemasters.
Doesnt absolve him from making bodycount the mess that it was , and yet fleeing it before it got released .
Too easy to say i wanted to "do something else , something better" .
"Maybe it's because he's been burned by triple-A but again and again throughout the interview Black is keen to point to flaws in current development methodologies."
Which triple A was he even involved with ? He's got Black , eons ago , Populous: The Beginning ,the worst populous game even farther , and then absolute crap like Bodycount than never considered was a AAA game .
Yea I only played he demo for bodycount but it was terrible. How did he go from making a pretty well received and fun game like black to that pile of garbage?
Remember Black dissed Killzone 2's graphics as "turd"? Criterion is the true dev for the sequel of BLACK.
