Speaking at the Montreal International Game Summit 2007, Smith admitted to numerous problems during Blacksite's development, reports Wired.
Smith, who explained that he "wasn't excited about this Area 51 game" when he joined the project, said that "with a year to go the game was disastrously off rails".
"Everyone was forced to share tech. It took eight months to get one thing working." Once it was up and running, "it went straight from alpha to final", leaving hardly any time to polish the game, something Smith labelled "completely reprehensible".
Derik Moore of Gaming Rebellion Writes: "Welcome to another Gaming For Official Use Only. I have wanted to cover this topic for a long time, but I really couldn’t decide on which Area 51 game I would cover. There’s the classic light gun arcade game from the 1990’s, and a fairly forgotten FPS reboot from the 2000’s. I spent too much time trying to figure out which I would cover until it hit me: I don’t have to choose. I’ll cover both before going on to probably the most well known conspiracy theory in mainstream media. Let’s start with the awesome light gun game."
EB's Nat Smyth writes, "Blacksite Area 51 piqued my curiosity when I was a new Xbox 360 owner in 2007, and I had seen it on the shelf too many times in visits to my local Gamestop to pass it up, so I finally bought it. What I got when I played it was a dull, lifeless, and somewhat ugly looking first person shooter that didn’t hold up at all next to the recently released Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."
Justin from TMSGamer is back for the third, and final part of his article about the worst games he has played on this generation. Remember, these are games only he has played.
Geeze, you've just about sold me. This game is out already in Oz but I have heard a single review yet, (not that I've looked).
I though about it cos I get nearly everything good but I've just got to many games to play and finish right now, its ridiculous. Plus if its anything like the Xbox demo ((SP) which I admit is pretty old now,) it stutters like a b*tch.
Anyone seen or read anything on a more recent build?
and the game is pure crap, BAD ai, mediocre graphics, crappy physics, you name it, this game failed on every front.
