I guess this makes Fable another Sims-esque life simulator (I think Yahtzee used that term). I understand maybe using Natal to swing your imaginary sword around or something, but what else could be done with this system? If all you're adding is a combat ability, why not just port it to the Wii? Or make a separate game for the Wii and keep fable as it is for other consoles.
Honestly, it sounds more like PM is going to use natal to add more useless stuff that contributes nothing to what Fable should be, akin to the bartending and smithing mini-games of Fable two.

For the love of 'your' god Moleneux, can you do nothing right? No one cares about natal! Or the eye pet! I got a 360 (then PS3) because i didn't want to spend my gaming hours doing "the spastic hand jive", i abandoned fable 2 when i realised it was almost nothing like number 1, the fable 3 concept even more out of touch, and now you have decided to make F3 into a wii game (wii game!) wannabe. Someone take him away, in a white jacket, with lots of straps, he's not a bad man, just a dumb one.
It's one thing to keep a franchise fresh, it's quite another to take the thing that was fun about the first and replace it with job mini games.

It isn't precisely a Wii Remote like thing, although motion sensing is involved. It also can detect your body's position, or recognize your face or voice. Fable III's involvement of Natal may be used to, for example, use your face as a starting template for your character, replace the Expressions Wheel with you actually giving the expressions (you can flip the game the bird and actually have it react!), voice commands or a variety of things I might not have thought of yet. I'd say give it time before angst.KaiRai said:

I can read everyone else's angst, plus, I heard Project Natal is a Wii like remote sensor thingy. If it is, then my angst is justified![/quote]It isn't precisely a Wii Remote like thing, although motion sensing is involved. It also can detect your body's position, or recognize your face or voice.

I don't hate the Wii. I just think only the Wii can do it right.
Plus, that sounds FAR too complicated to make a game fun. :/
I must say, while I do not have any great knowledge of the world of video game marketing, it seems somewhat counterintuitive to specifically do something to make people 'not' buy your game. Perhaps there is some brilliant scheme that my feeble non-marketing department brain is not detecting, but still....
But overcomplication is what Fable's all about! In all seriousness, I believe that this will be the method to the whole 'Dynamic Touch' thing he went on about: that way he doesn't have to waste a button on the controller.KaiRai said:
I suppose Natal'll be optional, so it doesn't pose a problem for anyone who doesn't want to use it. Combining it with the expression wheel does sound interesting, but I wonder how Lionhead's going to make it practical to use. Most people just hang on the couch when playing their Xbox games, so you'd have to be somewhat creative to get the camera fixed on you.
Well its an opinion right? In my opinion your a tit, but tits will be tits right? The problem overall is the move that Xbox is forwarding. I mean Motion sensoring doesn't work on the Wii, so I really don't see how Xbox will overcome this problem. Then again, you never know... but before you know it, Natal won't be an optional way of playing games. I think in a way, Motion Sensoring will destroy Gaming, I'd even be surprised if the home consoles will still be going strong in the next 10 years as neither 2 out of the 3 of the businesses make a jot out of sales beside Nintendo at the moment =\ and god knows why that is as well.apsham said:
I'll strongly take the same view as Yahtzee has to Peter Molyneux. Who?
Natal will have it's kinks, just like every other piece of hardware, but I'm interested to see it used as a immersive component, such as facial recognition, if it gives you a chance to immerse yourself in a game even more, but doesn't become mandatory to play the game, then let it.
Peter Molyneux said it so, I have no reason to believe it's true. Trusting him this early on in development would be a really bad idea.
Err... all of the consoles are pushing towards motion control. If it's succesful (and all signs point to being so), I'd see no reason to discontinue the use of motion control. Hell, it could become an industry standard. But is that a bad thing? Really?apsham said:
