With Reach likely to be Bungie's last ever Halo release, 360-exclusive FPS titles are thin on the ground - as Sony readies Killzone 3 for release in February next year on PS3.

But Microsoft - which still owns the rights to the Halo franchise - has told CVG that 360 fans needn't worry.

"We'll be looking to have lots of FPS games, ideally exclusive to us [in future]," Microsoft UK boss Neil Thompson told us. 

"I'm not going to make any announcements about any FPS games we have in the pipeline right now - because that will lose me my job - but yes, first-person shooters are a great genre of product that have served us very well and will continue to serve us well in the future. We will be bringing great products out... that's the one thing I can commit to."

And it's not just shooters, either; Thompson added that "whether people like racing, dancing, FPS, strategy... whatever they like we'll be bringing out franchises that we think they'll love".

I wonder which third parties may (or may) not be developing FPS games exclusive to the 360!

More from Epic perhaps?

EDIT: Thread topic moderated. -d1

Perfect Dark back?

Prey 2  and a new Perfect Dark is all I can think of.

Platformers?  Action-adventure?  Please?????

I have 60 retails games on 360, 13 of them are shooters. LOL shooterbox LOL

It is quite possible that MS Game Studios has created new teams to produce new software that has not been revealed yet.  Checked about a week ago and MS website was looking right then for about 70 people in the Xbox side of the business.

well its certainly a console that shooter fans love, but it does have a broad range of games for it

All I need is exclusives. Not timed exclusives but solid first party exclusives.

They should increase Xbox Live Gold to $70 per year and invest that extra money in exclusives.

you would pay more live charges just to play online games that in turn would get you more exclusives?

I think it earned the shooter box rep when the most popular and highest rated games are shooters. Those games attract a significant portion of 360 owners but there are certainly more to choose from but in terms of diversity 360 doesn't stack up to the PS3 or Wii imo.
