Natal unleashes an enhanced Fable III

It’s Mr Molyneux again, PM, top-dog at Lionhead, told bit-tech at the S by SW conference that Fable III will enable 360 gamers to unleash an ‘enhanced Fable III’.

Fable III, a bigger, better, brighter world... Thanks to Project Natal

Molyneaux, obviously brimming with enthusiasm about Natal, went on to say:
“We’ve been working on Natal for some time – we created Milo for the first demo – and we’d be crazy not to integrate the two,” said Molyneux. “I have to be careful what I say, there are PR policeman in the audience with sniper rifles… Natal is a fantastic amazing device because it’s so new and different. It makes designers like me sweat like never before. We were getting lazy, tweaking people’s thumbs for 20 years. A button does this, it’s all so standard. We, as an industry, we have failed, to some extent, to create a unique form of entertainment and Natal makes you [as a games designer] think again”.

What makes us curious is that a controller will still be required, that’s good news because it suggests that Fable III isn’t being shoehorned into Natal but rather that it’s there when it works… Cool…

Fable III will be released December 2010, which funnily enough co-incides with the release of Project Natal itself.

So what do you think, will Fable III be a winner?
