Stuart Black’s career in games development hasn’t progressed as smoothly as he would have liked. Since the release of Criterion’s Black in 2006, the well-known industry professional has struggled to make much of an impact.

Criterion: No more Black “any time soon”

They probably get bored of saying it, but according to Burnout Paradise lead designer Craig Sullivan in the latest edition of D-Pad, Criterion isn’t working on a sequel to shooter Black and isn’t planning one in the near future.

“Sorry to disappoint you, but as we’ve mentioned many times on our podcast we’re not looking at making another Black game any time soon,” he said. “Although the rumours never seem to go away and we still get a lot of letters from fans, we’re honestly not working on that game at the moment. I doubt the rumours will go away though.”

Microsoft’s confirmed that Black, Ninja Gaiden Black and Pirates! are going to be made available in the Xbox Originals section of America’s Live Marketplace on February 11. This is very cool. Black was brilliant, if mental, and a healthy diversion for Criterion from endless Burnout games. Ninja Gaiden Black’s one of the hardest games ever, so it’s something you should own. Pirates! is… Pirates!. But it’s made by Sid Meier, so that’s fine.

Give us these, Microsoft. We’d like to pay not much money for Black.
