Mass effect: Cannot be... Some reviews are already in.
Banjo 3: Could possibly be... Cuzz Microsoft doesn't seem satisfied with Rare's performances software and sales wise in comparison with how much money they had to pay to acquire 51% of the shares. Combine that with only 1 trailer of the game (That trailer was at the X06, X360 event). No info or footage since then.
Alan Wake: Alan Wake wasn't 1st party last time i checked. Remedy reacted on the 1Up claim:
The official Alan Wake forum has just posted an announcement in response to the rumor that Alan Wake is the "big Microsoft first party title" that is getting canceled. "Microsoft Game Studios does not own the copyright nor the IP to Alan Wake. Therefore, Alan Wake is NOT a first party title for Microsoft." The forum moderator adds: "Remedy is acting as a third party developer for Microsoft Game Studios. MGS provides outsourcing and development resources for the game, but has no development power over the title."
But wait a minute... That ain't saying the game is or isn't cancelled... Right?!
Too human: They were gonna make a trilogy... The fact that is was going to be on PS1, then GC and shifted to X360 isn't a good argument to say it's cancelled. The game is coming, playable demo was shown about 3 weeks ago... So don't worry about that one...
If u were to ask me: I'd go with Huxley... The MMOFPS, and if i recall correctly, it was being developed by Microsoft. But im not sure...
And @ W29: Rare and Sony...?! Lol?!... If Microsoft were to drop Rare... Nintendo would pick 'em up... And even if Nintendo wouldn't... Rare would still start developing for DS (Which they already are) and Wii... Why? Because Nintendo and Rare are like two pieces that for a dreamteam... It's like Insomniac and Sony, or Bungie and Microsoft... It would be against nature for Rare not to go back to Nintendo...
