The cancelled sequel to Criterion Games' hit 2006 shooter Black for Xbox 360 and PS3 has been revealed by Unseen64 in their latest post. The game went through a tumultuous pre-production before being cancelled by EA over a creative disagreement with the developers.
I could've sworn I played a game called Black on PS2 many years ago, and I was looking forward to the sequal.
Looks a LOT like Boodycount. Hey, I played and loved that game. Guess im in the minority. I wasn't a fan of Black though.
If that was concept art then I'm glad it was canceled... I loved Black but that looks nothing like it, and a coop shooter? come on.
Criterion has released two images of unreleased shooter Black 2.
The shots, released by the studio's creative director Alex Ward, were taken from Criterion's previously unseen "TargetX" video - presumably created to aid the cancelled game's development process.
kickstart BLACK2 and i will fund the shit outta it. i love BLACK on of my fav shooters on PS2 top dog will always be Timesplitters future perfect.
"Responding to fan questions, Ward said that he believed the game "probably wouldn't hold up" to today's standards. "Times have sure changed," he said."
Their lack of vision saddens me.
Black was one of those special games that stood out from the rest. It was truly a generation ahead for it's time.
Alex Ward, Creative Director at Criterion Games, is a very active tweeter over on his account, telling us all about a cancelled Road Rash, the fact that a new Burnout isn’t in development, and more last week. - PSLS
They're not doing another racing game next, so if it's not Black 2 I hope it's something other than a shooter. Their sense of speed is second to none, so maybe they could help DICE out with Mirror's Edge?
Saw this earlier,wish it happened.It kinda reminds me of killzone.
Looking forward with what criterion comes up with
The first one was not bad at all. Kinda interested if the make a 2nd part. I never really finished the first one though, if do try a second one 'PLEASE" do away with the video recorded footage of some dude getting interrogated. took away from the game a bit, try a different approach.
edit: Yeah, easy it was not!
I also didn't finished the game. Simply because it wasn't easy. But the game self was good! And for PS2 it was a nice graphical game!
ilove the first one
