Microsoft hiring 18 for new Natal dev team

by Griffin McElroy { Sep 16th 2009 at 7:00PM }

Microsoft is looking to add 18 new faces to its payroll in an attempt to bolster development on software implementing its new body movin' technology, Project Natal. These positions run the gamut from producer to audio director, all of which will be based out of Microsoft Game Studios' campus in Redmond, Washington -- indicating that MGS is building an entire team to work on future Natal projects.

If you're a game developer with clever, original ideas about how the technology can be used, then check out Microsoft's now hiring page. If you've got a clever, original idea about a motion-sensitive Tae Bo fitness game, then keep that garbage to yourself.

Isn't this technically one big advertisement?
I think it's obvious that people like to work with stuff.
Hardware needs software. Software needs hardware.

Than technically isn't any help wanted ad an advertisement? Oh, it says the company name- therefore, they must want money from us.

Touche, Steve.
Didn't think about it that way.

I already submitted my resume.

My project is titled. "Space Marine massage trainer 2.0"

After a hard days fight killing aliens and mutants Project Natal will give you the player the opportunity to massage your favorite hero. Learn to smooth out his shoulder muscles, take off his metallic curb stomping boot to rub his toes in ways you never thought possible, stare at him using Natal's groundbreaking motion sensing camera and tell him how much you enjoy massaging his muscles so the next day no nasties are left standing.

That was not worth the amount of time it took me to load the page.
You'll be getting the bill from my ISP in the mail.

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 16th 2009 7:19PM

it took that long to load? really?? took less than a couple seconds for me

SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 16th 2009 7:22PM

It didn't take long. I'm saying those few seconds were not worthwhile at all.

Fanboys don't need any help in that department.
