With all the depressing news about studio closures and cut-backs, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the industry is on a downward slide. It seems that EA are keen to keep rolling the development ball uphill, however.
According to some more clever detective work over on SystemLink, there’s a new studio in operation and they’re working on a new PS3 exclusive.
The suspicions were first raised with an anonymous (for now) employee’s résumé citing his work as a UI Artist contracted to a studio called Black Troll. The entry on the unnamed source’s employment history states that he has been working on an FPS for the PS3 since September 2010. Usually, if a project is multiplatform, a résumé will show that in order to demonstrate cross-platform ability.
Black Troll Studios would seem not to exist, at least until a few days ago when their website went live with nothing but a pretty shade of dark red to look at.
It would all be very vague and we would encourage plenty of skepticism if it wasn’t for the fact that BlackTrollStudios.com domain was registered by Electronic Arts back in November 2010.

Space Marine?

Who knows?
It could be the game that shakes up the entire genre, and catapults it out of the growing staleness and back into the hearts and minds of so many former FPS fans who have become disenchanted with the games released in the last few years…

How strange this is….

I’m game for a story driven FPS, one that really focuses on the Single-Player. Screw Multi-Player imo.

I love a good army FPS but I’m getting a little bored of them now. We want something different.
