Aussie blog site games.on.net recently interviewed Dan Bunting and Mark Lamia, Senior Producer and Studio Head at Treyarch respectively, to speak about Call of Duty: Black Ops, and they had some light bragging and thoughts for the PS3 fans to mull over for their upcoming FPS opus.
It’s clear from the videos leaked that the developer is aiming quite high with this year’s installment of the hugely popular FPS series, vowing to create “the best game [they] can possibly make”, which is truly saying something given the previous history of the series.
The title will include a big action-adventure component, an online multiplayer – of course - and a specially-crafted cooperative mode and of course, the great scoped crossbow we’ve already seen that people are drooling over. All of that sounds pretty amazing.
Tech aspects are also upgraded and include better animation and better overall graphics quality as well with their ‘texture streaming’ thing incorporated into the game as well. We’re definitely looking forward to this one coming out.
Robert Bowling, Community Manager at Infinity Ward (the company responsible for Modern Warfare 2), has told CVG with total confidence (born of success of course) that no other war FPS can overtake Modern Warfare 2’s achievement as the most popular online console game of 2010 to date.
Medal of Honor is a game that any FPS fanatic has heard of and more than likely played extensively, but now this traditionally World War II based series has made the transition to modern-day warfare, and the lead console for the release is the PS3, which shouldn’t be a shock to anyone familiar with its capabilities.
Sometimes designers are known for being quite clear about their feelings on a subject. In this case, the subject is the current state of the FPS (First-Person Shooter) genre, and one designer in particular who thinks they could use a good retooling.
