Molyneux Hints Further At Fable 3's Natal Support

Peter Molyneux has given more hints that Fable 3 will use Natal in some way, shape, or form.

Molyneux's interviewer, from Dutch site Game Kings, states outright that Fable 3 will not possess Natal functionality - but Molyneux contradicts him.

"I am going to say [Fable 3 is] going to use a controller, but I never said it's not going to use Natal. And obviously, what would happen if I started talking to you about this is you would see a little red dot appear moving on my forehead. And then, as I would start to speak the words, then there would be a shot, gunfire, and I would be assassinated. Quite clearly it is that sensitive," jokes Molyneux.

"But let me give this to you absolutely straight. I have not said that we're not going to have Natal in Fable 3. All I have really said is it a controller experience. That doesn't mean there isn't going to be Natal. Do you really think, knowing me, I wouldn't want to use something like Natal? I mean that's just mad, man!"

Which certainly fits with two other bits and pieces. First off, Microsoft Game Studios' Phil Spencer said, two weeks ago, that he wouldn't be surprised if "Natal found its way into future iterations of Fable."

Secondly, Lionhead is the company working on one of the flagship Natal titles - Milo and Kate - so the company already has experience with the Microsoft motion-sensing controller.
