The smart money is on the aforementioned projects making up the first wave of new Microsoft franchises for Xbox 720 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/327304/two-xbox-720-models-reportedly-planned/), which is expected to launch later this year.
Microsoft Game Studios Vancouver, which was recently rebranded as Black Tusk, is working on the company's "next big entertainment franchise", according to manager Mike Crump.
"We're not working on an existing franchise, we're looking to build the next Halo here, for example, which is really exciting," he said last November (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/381123/new-microsoft-studio-working-on-halo-sized-franchise/).
Last May the online CV of an art director at Black Tusk seemingly let slip (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/299799/new-ms-vancouver-studio-making-core-shooter-for-kinect/) that one of the projects in development at the studio is "a core AAA shooter experience using Kinect".
