Forums - Microsoft - Mass Effect is exclusive no more...

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.

Errr...and the reason why?

Anyway, I think a Brute Force game could easily top 2 million, and likely reach 3-4 million, imho.


Especially with how huge co-op has become over the years. A new Brute Force game with offline/online co-op with nice graphics and a new story in the Brute Force universe would be awesome.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

Not going to happen Microsoft is not going to make any non kinect new ip's or returning to old ones like this. At least for a while.


Why?

Wasn't brute force that terrible game MS thought was going to be the next halo? I doubt so >.<

Yeah it WAS suppose to be, but who knows.  I actually liked Brute force more than Halo, on the original Xbox, and I've been pining for years to see if reborn...alas, to no avial.  What I don't get is why wouldn't a re-packager like Obsidion, pitch the idea to M$ to do the game.  You don't need to spend alot of money working up a new IP, you can get M$ to front you some cash for development work, and you don't worry about marketing the game...I must be missing something here...PLUS, you can just do the game in the FREAKING Unreal engine...how much easier can it get?

MS has a lot of companies doing work, Kinect Sports is a good new IP, or do you want a newer one, just wait it wont be too long.

It's true, MS does have a lot of companies doing work.. I have no idea where the end products of said work are, but they are doing something.

Does MGS even do anything anymore?

yeah i dunno they mainly have Rare, Turn 10, Lionhead etc doing all the work. MGS is mainly doing phone games atm, I think Microsofts 2011 games list a few of them will be in game which will be a nice change.

kingdoms


That isnt from Microsoft.

I'm pretty sure it is, it's just being developed by Crytek.  I don't think it's a situation where Crytek decided to do a 360 exclusive on their own, I'm sure MS came to them and asked them to develop a game with them.

"Microsoft Game Studios has announced a new Xbox 360-exclusive project, developed in collaboration with Germany's Crytek."

Similar to Lost Odyssey or Infinite Undiscovery.  Microsoft owns both of those.  I can't find the IP ownership of Kingdoms but it's likely because that name isn't official or final.

Mass Effect wasn't exclusive to begin with , besides Microsoft really relying too much on Timed exclusivety rather than first party stuff this gen.
