So anyone want to put odds on this being another shovelware kinect factory?

Pretty low I would say, but with MS you never know I suppose.

"MGS Vancouver is building a world-class development team in Vancouver, BC, Canada, dedicated to making games for "core" gamers. Our mission is to push the limits of proven and unexplored game development and show the world what's possible on Microsoft's game consoles. And yes, we're also an awesome place to work"

yea but then theres this http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-02-microsoft-planning-aaa-kinect-shooter#justposted

it is a kinect shooter lol, knowing that puts the odds alot higher 

Shooter is a broad genre. Games like Rez, Sin and Punishment,  and Panzer Dragoon fall in that genre as well.

That doesn't exactly fill me with hope about this new game lol

I never get my expectations too high. But it sounds promising and I'll leave it to that.

I don't feel the need to trash games just because of the platform.

It's not the platform it's the controller, IE kinect, they can't even make a character walk in a straight line by the players command how the hell are they going to make a decent shooter
