Black Creator Has Pop Inspiration

03/15/2010 Written by Josh Fernandes

Black was a FPS developed by Criterion Games and released for the PS2 and Xbox. The game featured intense action and killing hundreds of enemies in unique, cinematic ways. The creator of Black, Stuart Black, recently unveiled his new game called Bodycount. Bodycount will focus on destructible cover, and the inspiration for the game is surprising. I’ll give you a hint. It involves a disco stick, telephone, and poker faces.

Stuart Black has stated that Lady Gaga was a huge inspiration for Bodycount. Black saw Lady Gaga perform in Glastonbury last July and “was just blown away by her performance. The power of it, the creativity. I found that incredibly exciting.” As a result, Body count will feature gameplay that Black describes as “heightened ridiculousness.”  Not much is know about the game, besides that it will be an arcade-like FPS, that is aiming to surpass Black in terms of cinematic action sequences. The game is currently scheduled to release sometime in 2011. Sadly, the game has not been confirmed to have any spontaneous dance sequences or flamboyant wardrobe.

    I don’t get how a naked woman with fashionable plastic can inspire a guy to create an FPS video game. Now if it was a dance or music game thats a whole different story.

    But it will no doubt sell, cause FPS fans and Lady Gaga fans will be all over this game.

    Were they joking when they said that?

  5. lady gaga only dresses the way she does cause she is one ugly girl, so if he is trying to say he will be making a game that distracts you from the obvious flaws with stupid gimicks then I believe him

    What next? A shooter that draws its inspiration from New Kids on the Block? Good grief.

    i see lady gaga as different…not afraid to do what others wont… doesnt care bout what ppl think.. so if in creative you mean that this will be diff. then most fps games then pllzzz bring it on… soo tired of the mundane fps games that keep releasing… we need a game thats not afraid to make u drop ur jaw

  8. Wow – I wonder what kind of drugs he was doing – they must have been good ones. We might need them to make it through whatever this game is going to be. Don’t be surprised if the story involves your character being the opposite gender than you though they were – or other strange things.

  9. [...] changes how the game plays, was rated 15 by the BBFC as it “contains strong violence.” Inspired by Lady Gaga, the game will only feature 10 minutes of cutscenes, compared to 70 minutes in Killzone [...]
