DrunknMunky Veteran Posted July 19, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 19, 2010 Creative Director to leave months before game's release.Written by David Scammell, 19 July 2010 Codemasters has confirmed that Stuart Black will be leaving the company in October, months before his first game with the firm Bodycount launches next year. "Having created a great vision and direction for Bodycount, Stuart has decided to move on after three years with us," said a Codemasters representative.

Black, who previously worked on Criterion's shooter Black, is rumoured to be leaving due to an internal bust-up, though it's not known where he'll be headed next. Black, who is Bodycount's creative director, has been incredibly vocal throughout the game's development, telling OXM that he felt the majority of first-person shooters were "f*cking boring", and that EA lacked respect for individual team members. He also said that Lady Gaga and JJ Abrams were both influences on the upcoming shooter. Bodycount launches on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 early next year. Stuart Black probably won't be attending the launch party. http://www.gamerzines.com/ps3/news/stuart-black-leave-codemasters.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayepecks Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Black is pompous, and I'd say that his upcoming FPS looks like one of the most boring FPS games I've seen in quite a while, to be quite frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted July 19, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted July 19, 2010 Publishers != developers. While it is the CM studio, the guy hasn't even made a CM game before. To write off this game based on others totally unrelated makes no sense. The guy has a long history of games, he's not exactly inexperienced.

Black the person seems a bit pompous and high on himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
