OXM: "We're becoming increasingly fascinated by Microsoft Vancouver's unannounced AAA core game project, among the secret and not-so-secret Xbox 360 games mooted in our recent Microsoft E3 predictions round-up. A new MGS job listing has hacked away a little more ambiguity - the game is a multiplayer shooter."

True, but Microsoft is taking your logic to another level - as long as they keep making exclusives they've got the freedom of making them what they want. They're taking that chance by feeding the fanbase with Kinect shovelware.
MS have multiplayer shooter experiences more than covered with Halo, Gears and COD.
So this may be something fresh and new. Wait and see.
Just because it have shooter gameplay mechanics to some extent, doesn't mean it's limited to that. Examples are many... Red Dead Revolver, MGS4, Fallout/Elder Scrolls, L.A. Noire, Mirror's Edge, Ratchet & Clank...
That said, I'm not disagreeing with you. It all depends on what they mean by shooter in the job posting...
It could be any genre and they are refering specifically to work at the shooter gameplay mechanics.
Or it could be one of the many shooter genres we have out there (FPS, TPS, On-rail, Top-down, etc).
Heck, it could even be something new. Gotta wait and see...
There are a lot of new shooters coming out, Starhawk was just released and proved that shooters can bring in fresh elements and improve upon a genre as a whole. So I would suggest maybe hold before passing judgement on a game we know nothing about.
I mean what if someone had said "Another shooter...?" about Uncharted or Gears? I mean those are great games.
This could be something amazing.
Kinect isnt even mentioned in the description
Microsoft's Vancouver does "core" games, so people need to read the article before making judgement calls about Kinect and all of that.
Also, I highly doubt they are helping 343i since 343 is specifically supposed to do Halo games and have a 200+ man team.
It wouldn't be Gears, since that would be Epic, its not Halo since that is 343i and so with a process of elimination its either a new IP or a reboot of Perfect Dark? Could be interesting though.
One thing that I've noticed about this site though is that interesting or good Microsoft news is always flooded with hate and trolls to the point that I almost avoid them altogether now. So lets try and be mature with this one people.
The listing says current generation, so its something for the Xbox 360 and it uses Unreal Engine.
so that crosses out halo straight away.
so im pretty stumped as to what this could be?
new ip??who knows?
In September 2007, Microsoft closed FASA Studios and licensed the Shadowrun electronic entertainment rights to Smith & Tinker, a company owned by Jordan Weisman, one of the original creators of Shadowrun. In 2012, Weisman's company Harebrained Schemes launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the development of Shadowrun Returns, a 2D turn-based single player role-playing video game. Aprox. 1.8 million US dollars was pledged, four times more than the 400 thousand dollar goal. The estimated release date is January 2013
