Fable III will support Xbox 360's Natal motion cam, Peter Molyneux is reported to have said.
The confirmation was dropped during the Microsoft Game Studios Europe man's BAFTA talk in London last night. We're not sure whether or not he was supposed to confirm it, but history tells us he probably wasn't. The scamp. We've contacted Lionhead for the official line.
It's not the first time the Black & White creator has suggested utilising Natal in the threequel - he talked up the idea at GamesCom - but it's certainly the first confirmation.

Molyneux's also, of course, working on Natal front-runner Milo and Kate.
For everything we know on the third Fable read this Fable III preview. It's awesome.
UPDATE: In his BAFTA talk, Molyneux also confirmed micro-transactions for the third game via an in-game shop. Items such as swords will cost around £1, he said, while larger content such as an entire new island would cost more.
Molyneux said the shop is a way of trying to provide "a more harmonious relationship between a game and its downloadable content".
It's good that CVG chose to downplay the "micro-transaction" part of this interview. Hopefully to save us from a lot of moaning.
Uh oh...what have I done?!
Spill the beans altitude...?
Anyhoo's, Natal support in Fable 3 is a given, im actually interested to see what Peter can come up with, i think Natal might suit the RPG genre quite well.

Yeah, I read that.
Personally, I'm not too fussed either way. I think we all knew that Natal would definitely be incorporated into Fable 3, so that's no surprise (and could be very cool). When it comes to paying for things like swords and other items, I just hope it's something that won't detract from the game if you choose not to buy anything - because I highly doubt I will.
Still, it's Fable.....I'm interested, regardless of Natal or Micro-Transactions.

I think maybe it's best I don't
OK....basically he's looking at including shops in-game where you can perform micro-transactions. You could buy a sword for Ł1, was his example.

Ahh Peter, there is always talk of grandiose and innovation whenever he talks about Fable, as long as they are optional and do not impact the Story or Gameplay in anyway, who cares?

I know - but you know what CVG is like. Who cares, you ask? About 20 people ready to jump down the throats of MS

Yup - it'll no doubt be an 'outrage' to all those that have no interest in this game.....or don't own a 360....or just don't like Vista.

Is it just me, or is upcoming Natal 'game' Milo and Kate looking less like a clever interactive interface, and more like a morally-dubious grooming simulator?
HHHmmmm, I played fable two for the most part,when I got home after a hard nights drinking, or playing other games and drinking, usually more than a little worse for wear. I don't particularly relish the Idea of being able to buy dlc straight from the shop. what if the lady in the shop has lovely (insert your own here) and I get beer goggle eyes and buy all her crap and realise its my own real world gold coins I have just paid her for "The lost Farting sword of Bowerlake"..or something fablesque like that..
I can imagine it will be a nicer more flowing way to enter the dlc experience, but do think this will be a great way for Microsoft to stiff hapless off their face idiots like me out of money without them knowing.....
Blast. Well, if there's a way to play the game using only a proper controller then all is well. If on the other hand you have to use any form of Natal at all then I guess I'm out.
