MechWarrior, Shadowrun, Crimson Skies to get new lives?

[Angry_Games]

Looks like the guy who founded FASA and WizKids (the original owners/creators of the franchises) has picked up the "electronic entertainment rights" to Shadowrun, MechWarrior, and Crimson Skies.

 

Hopefully they'll churn out a new Shadowrun, and it won't be anything like the mutated, aborted, rotting corpse-fetus that was Shadowrun on the Xbox360. What a xxxxing horrible horrible horrible horrible game (I grew up playing pen & paper Shadowrun, then the Sega Genesis, which I would rate as my #2 or #3 All-Time Best Game Ever, the SNES version, etc...keep in mind this is where "The Matrix" originally came from *yes the Matrix guys "stole" it you could say without really "stealing"*)

I want new (good) Mechwarrior games comparable to MWII.

ya I've heard a LOT of MW guys say they wish for the old-style MW games to come back, not these new junkers that MS/FASA cranked out without much thought to their base (same as Shadowrun)

MW3 was slick, but it was not half of the fun as MWII and it's expansions. I have all of the other more recent games and none of them have floated my boat like the MWII either.

4 was lame. But the merc4 was fantastic IMHO. Right balance between old and new.
