GREAT!
Now that Mass Effect has gone FULLY multiplatform, maybe M$ will get off it’s haunches and get to producing exclusive content using potential Triple-A IPs in it’s library. One of my favorite games on the old Xbox was Brute Force, and for the life of me, I can’t understand how the heck has M$ let this IP lay dormant for these many years with no significant movement to a new game. Basically, you’re talking about a 3rd person shooter that allows you to either go the way of Gears of War OR Mass Effect! You’ve got four distinct characters, very similar to, maybe say a Borderlands, in how they could have some core characteristics, but still be upgradable to develop out your own play style. To add to it, you could integrate significant RPG, Exploration, Trading, and Space Combat to the game. It’s not that Microsoft Games Studios lacks IP, it just lacks anybody with any concept of development and vision. Then again, We’ve not seen a new Freelancer game either, so…

Well dont they still have MechWarrior reboot coming out? Thats a huge franchise is it not? If it came out next year it would easily be my favorite game for the year.

Microsoft sold all rights to MechWarrior series and someone is making new mechwarrior game but i think it was rumored as PS3/X360/PC.
I can only remember Freelancer as big forgoteen IP they have.

They didn't sell the rights...they licensed it back to one of the original creators to allow him to re-boot the franchise:

The news is dated, and there's been nothing since, so who knows...that was another HUGE waste, since Mechwarrior was one of the gems on the original Xbox.
