Molyneux confirms Natal support in Fable 3

by Richard Mitchell on Oct 21st 2009 6:55PM

Shocking absolutely no one, Peter Molyneux has confirmed that Fable 3 will support Project Natal in some fashion. The confirmation came during a lecture at BAFTA in London. The news was confirmed by Eurogamer's Johnny Minkley, who tweeted the info during the event itself. Molyneux also reportedly showed off Milo and proved that Natal is capable of scanning objects (people, presumably) in bad lighting.

Molyneux himself hinted at the possible inclusion of Natal in Fable 3 as recently as two weeks ago, though he neglected to confirm it for fear of a quick, sniper-borne death.

So that's that then: Fable 3 will use Project Natal. Of course, we don't speak for everyone, but we can't wait to pretend to fart in front of a crowd of adoring, virtual townsfolk.

I think HAL is disgusted by competition.

Ugh, not being allowed to have an opinion. Disgusting.

I hope someone at MS is thinking about using this for some Johnny Lee style head tracking. You could even do split screen with two or more players and everyone would get their quasi-3D perspectives.

Johnny Chung Lee works for Microsoft's Applied Sciences R&D department and worked on Project Natal with the Xbox team, so I'd go as far as to say that the guy thinking about using this for Johnny Lee style head tracking is Johnny Lee.

Well that great news for gadget geeks and gamers everywhere!

now we just need Torben Sko on the team to implement Torben Sko style head and face tracking. Imagine a day where players could literally, faceroll the enemy

It's all part of the package. It may not be as accurate without Sko but it should get the job done. Natal was always kind of blah before I learned of the Lee connection. Natal is something that even hardcore gamers can make use of,

reply fail :(

I'm hoping all of you 360/Molyneux/Fable fanboys can just piss the hell off.

Do you feel powerful when you say things like that? Or are you just some disturbed rathole?

says the guy who came in here trolling for no reason

Thank god natal isn't being used for a game like God of war, I dread to think what sex scenes would be like and who could happen to walk in while you're doing it, then again, fable promotes getting it on too 0_o

Um, God of War is a Sony IP. Natal is a Microsoft IP. It's never going to work out.

I see a bright future for the Sony Dildo, though.

@ mahouneko

Thanks for stating the obvious ¬¬

"Thank god natal isn't being used for a game """LIKE""" God of war" in respect to the famous sex scene which I went on to mention afterwards ^^

Sex scenes in games are still a big deal? Play the Witcher. It'll get old fast. I promise.

He mentioned that it'd be fully Natal supported like a month ago in the Joystiq comments for another fable related post. =/

I don't know how to break it to you....that's not really him in the comments

ROFLMAO

Does it really matter? It was still true, regardless.
I wouldn't know this seeing as how I'm new and don't use this as often as most

Sony needs to look at what is coming out supporting natal over there eyetoy dildo.

I would rather play this than Extreme box cutters!

You do realise the first parties Sony has under its wing, I hardly think they are too worried about Natal, surely they have a few things up thier own sleeve.

They still haven't added a party system and voice chat. I wouldn't doubt if their shitting themselves about Natal.
Plus Natal doesn't need paripharels.

How can you shit yourself about something that does not exist yet, the only thing we've seen is Milo that we can say was truly impressive, how much else that is possible is yet to be known, but if facts are being based upon the mini games we saw and being able to wave your hands around without controllers, theres no guarantee anything grand will come of it.

Sony, like Nintendo should already be working on way to counter it, Micro releases one thing, Sony releases something else, Micro retaliates with something else, thats how business works, can't spend more time shitting yourself then working on the next kick ass tech otherwise you'd be wasting time.
