Spec Ops: The Line developer Yager has a bun in the oven, marked "AAA First Person Shooter". As reported by Eurogamer, it's an Unreal Engine 4 game for next generation platforms, and we can expect a full disclosure in the next few months. Further information there is little, comrades, save for the following from Yager co-founder and managing director Timo Ullmann, by way of Edge. "After five years of working on Spec Ops, maybe it's time to do something different so you don't get trapped in that box where we're just making military shooters," Ullmann told the mag. "We still have to be commercial - we learned that the hard way - but by being independent we can live creatively and never be labelled or framed as being about a certain thing.
"What's surprising to me is that even in 2012 games like Dishonored and Dragon's Dogma proved that people are interested in new ideas," he added. "We've never had more platforms and more business models, so it's a good time for new IP. After a seven-year console lifecycle, people are longing for something new - gamers and publishers, actually - and that suits us fine."
I like the sound of the last part, myself, but the thought of another Unreal-powered FPS doesn't exactly set my eyebrows on fire. What's your take? Who knows, maybe it'll be another one of those heart-wrenching assaults on the glamorisation of violence in popular media, with edgy in-game graffiti and everything.
