A recently created Microsoft studio responsible for Kinect-related games announces they are working on a "hardcore" shooter for the Kinect with Microsoft backing the game as a "AAA title."
Microsoft originally created the studio to focus more on "social microtransaction" games but Microsoft switched its focus after negative backlash from its fans and letting Rare focus more on the casual side of Kinect.
The studio also hinted it will not work on just Kinect games but "Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Kinect, and future gaming platforms."
As of now Gears 3 appears to be the only "hardcore" shooter for the system this Fall but Microsoft might announce more details of this new game at E3 this year.
