Peter Molyneux: 'Natal is challenging because it's so different'

Lionhead chief explains why Microsoft's new tech is tricky
Lionhead chief Peter Molyneux, overseeing development of Fable III, has told OXM that Natal is challenging "because it's so different."

Molyneux makes the confession when interviewed by OXM for Inside Xbox UK, which is now available to watch via your Xbox 360's dashboard.

"For me, Natal is challenging because it's so different," Molyneux explains. "It's very, very different to any input other mechanism the world has even seen before because there isn't any buttons and that's both its strength and its big challenge. So when you've got a game like Fable, there is an enormous number of things we can do with Natal.

"But what I didn't want, I wanted for you to feel like you were part of the world. I didn't want you to go off and play some mini-game totally outside the world of Fable. I wanted you to feel like Natal was integrated into the world, if you like. It enhances the world, if you like. It's going to be integrated in so it has a purpose, and it gives you something, and there's a reason to do it."

Given what Molyneux has said, how do you think Natal will be integrated into Fable III?

When is that Move game coming out where I can repeatedly punch Molyneux and Greenberg in the nose, smash a 360 over their skulls, and then shove Natal down their throats for the finisher.

when everyone is as riddled with hate and bile as you are Focker

At least Peter has identified what the world doesn't need. As long as Natal is integrated into game worlds without feeling tacked on, I have no qualms about using it.

so many possibilities.

no real uses.

If I buy you some clothes that make you look like a stereotypical suicide bomber, (i'm thinking turban and a dishdasha) your 1st class plane ticket over to afghanistan, hotel for a night and luxury food. Will you (please excuse my french)as the biggest c**t on this website, run towards an allied patrol and/or the green zone in the hope that you will be repeatedly shot by a barrett .50 cal from the legs up. Think about it

Thanks

What's that Grasshopper? You think it's a SUPER idea? But I thought you wailed on anything to do with Xboxes and modified your penis to fit in a slot loading Blu Ray drive! But you want Natal's babies? Wow. Oh, and whats that you say...? Halo's your top game ever? My goodness.

@nightmare couldn't agree mire mate I rarely ever post because these places are always full if complete idiots, and how I would love that pratt to carry out your wishes. But unfortunately he is who he is and probably actually thinks he's a decent guy when the truth us he's a c**t... A fanboy who makes me sick everytime I read his pathetic comments

safe behind his little Internet connection, I am a lover of great games not consoles. Yes I prefer my 360 but I still have my ps3 for gems like uc2 and gow3. Just ignore the idiot mate. Hopefully he'll grow up some day, or get laid

It would make the gesture system a little more interesting at the very least, but really what useful feature could it possibly add to Fable? If it's something that can be done just as easily with a controller, then there really is no point even thinking of tacking this thing on. What it will do is alienate those of us that don't plan to spend money of something with (at the beginning anyway) limited appeal.

I've followed the site for a number of years now, and bought the magazine way back in the day. i've never posted before, usually because somebody almost always writes what i'm thinking, but STD really gets up my nose, and I felt compelled to join and rant. If the guy gave constructive criticism I wouldn't mind, but the reprobate just comes on to slag off the xbox. Yes it isn't perfect, but neither is the PS3. I just enjoy the games like you. Splinter Cell is taking centre stage at the moment.

I don't own a PS3 personally, but i've had a good crack at gow3 and LBP, both quality games.

Just as a final thought for him to read that will really make his sweat glands go into overdrive. A few years back somebody in the industry basically said (in edge magazine, when it was decent). "Xbox was to get into the gaming market, xbox 360 is there to gain momentum and play with the big boys face to face, and the next xbox is meant to completely destroy anything a competitor can throw at it". i'm paraphrasing, but you get the jist. Bold statement indeed, hopefully it comes to fruition and maybe by that point he will get laid

HIV Grasshopper has sold his car and got a bike,just been stopped by police and has been charged with DOPE PEDDLING. Shocked

Whats different about it ? It's a bloody Eyetoy.
waltyftm on 19 Apr '10
I don't really have the imagination to see what Natal could really bring to core gaming aside from head tracking.

Hopefully the developers do, otherwise I'm just going to be moving menus and making swish noises with my mouth.

We shall see. The fact that Pete is the most vocal about Natal doesn't really put me at ease as he always under delivers.
ledickolas on 19 Apr '10
For every Grasshopper there is a Dorian. Thats what this site is about. Trolling. That is what C+VG wants otherwise there wouldn't be so much flamebait. But as the people here are mostly 360 minded, Grasshopper gets all the crap. Whereas a troll like Dorian hardly ever gets any abuse, while i think he is a bigger troll than Grasshopper. And this bias pushes me a bit to the Sony side of things. While i always thought i was an on-the-fence type a guy.
Dewin on 20 Apr '10
360 minded? Errr... I find that a lot of the people on the site either have both 360 and PS3 and aren't biased- then you have a few people here who prefer the 360 but wouldn't mind a PS3, pc gamers who either hate everything else or are again, unbiased- and a few exceptions like Dorian who's a bit mental and hates the PS3. But compared to the Sony Elite on here- he's out numbered by about 5 to 1! (maybe more)

But I digress- I'm still looking forward to Fable 3- it could be the game that interests me in Natal Smile .... but then it may not. Confused

Grasshopper - please leave and never come back.
You must have no friends if you act like you do on this website in the real world. You comments are childish and pointless at best. I presume you are 14 and sending these posts via your IPHONE during break or lunch hour at school. I like this website and there is decent people commenting on it, im all up for heated discussion but not the kind you send out. Please grow up you spoilt little Rich Kid.

SVD-bottomhoppper please when you go home today after school ask actually beg your Mommy to buy you an 360 and a WII and STFU till you have them you Biased C**T

Haven't your teachers told you to stop using the computers during story time yet? Give us an idea of your age at least. From your writing ability, i'm guessing 16/17. From the content of your posts i'm guessing 8 or 9.

*riiiiiiing* Bells gone for your next lesson mate, see you later
Nightmare on 20 Apr '10
oh dear...poor SVD really is getting it today isn't he...being devils advocate a minute what's worse, the bile and woeful comments he pumps out or everyone rising to it...maybe if everyone ignored him he might say something worthwhile and useful..


Instead you all make his day....and give him infamy Rolling Eyes
