Stuart Black's original shooter, Black, on the Xbox and PS2, suffered from being at the wrong place at the wrong time. A decent shooter in its own right, released on an older generation platform when the good chunk of core gamers had moved across on the Xbox 360 or preparing for the jump to the PS3. Luckily though, the PS3 was out a good six months later, so that might have just saved it from total failure.

As recently reported, Stuart Black is heading back to our consoles in 2011, this time with Codemasters and with the new IP, Bodycount - obviously, Black is owned by EA.

The British based publisher unveiled the title officially today - with a couple of screens below. Although details are a little non-specific at the moment, we do know it's a first person shooter, it will apparently "deliver genre-defining gun play that comes alive in an orgy of bullets," it's being developed by Codemasters Guildford and will be out in Q1 2011.

Of course, the destructible cover will make a return - something that Black did so well - and the game will feature multiplayer, co-op game modes (not co-op campaign though) and is being built using the EGO engine.

The press release also boasts "powerful AI," although, didn't they say that about Operation Flashpoint?

Bodycount is out Q1 2011.
