Now is that the full IP's, or just the rights to produce computer / console games based on those properties? I thought WizKids owns the rights to the non-tech-based IP.

From their site:

Quote:
it has licensed from Microsoft the electronic entertainment rights


So I think they can make computer/console games, not board/card games IMHO. Which is fine by me. Very Happy The Genesis version of Shadowrun is great. And I would like to see another Crimson Skies Game. (Or even a Mechwarrior one) Very Happy

Yeah - Crimson Skies was an awful lot of fun. I had a blast with that game. And this is coming from someone who has typically been a "hardcore" flight sim fan.

It was completely unrealistic, my 133t flight-combat skills were useless, but dang I had fun with it.

Mechwarrior --- I think I lived and breathed Mechwarrior II for about nine months. I enjoyed MW 3, but I never got involved in the multiplayer community for that one. And MW4 disappointed me bitterly - primarily in the control scheme.

Having played and much enjoyed Battle Tech and Shadowrun as pen and paper RPGs, it's nice to see activities going on there Smile
