Lionhead plans to support Natal in Fable III photo

During his London-based BAFTA lecture last evening, Peter Molyneux lobbed a second Fable III-related announcement to crowd -- Fable III is to support Project Natal and it’s controller-less funny business.

Judging by industry tweets of the event (via VG247), the Lionhead Studios boss seemed to short on the details of how Natal would factor into the RPG. We’re guessing it will have a minimalistic role, perhaps as a way to convey taunts or boasts like fist pumping or farting, but that’s wholly unconfirmed. For all we know, Molyneux may use it to put a drop of metal and flair in his one-button combat system.

But if by chance we can flip off our televisions and a little heroic avatar responds in like, well, then we’re looking at a new age of gaming, folks.

Molyneux doesn't really know what a good game is.

I'm betting if they use Natal it's going to be for those lame ass job mini-games. Because we all know they were fun, right? Or maybe we can pretend we are throwing something and the dog is going to fetch it. Boy howdy that would be gaming nirvana. Or just maybe if we close our eyes hard enough and imagine we are holding a sword and swinging it we'll actually feel like we are the hero!

It's GENIUS I tell you!

Fable 2 PC port please, thanks.

Actually I played it on 360 at a friend's and thought it was terrible, but still, on principle, port to PC kthanks.

Oh, and motion controls look stupid.

So does Natal work on genitalia as well? (There's a "fuck Natal" joke in there somewhere, go ahead).

I'm all for getting excited about a game. I don't even care that he promises shit and doesn't fully deliver but really anyone getting excited about this should also get excited when you throw grenades with the six axis.

Hope I'm wrong but whatever.

lol... @Stringingvelvet. If you think that just because a game isn't on a PC, it should be, then you clearly don't play console games like ever.

Just don't make it required. I don't know when I'll have the scrap to throw down on this Neytell whatsajigger contraption. Or where I'll use it without knocking crap over. You young folk and your infernal electronic gadgets.

Get off my lawn.

What's wrong with asking for a PC port.

Also, natal support unsells me on this game.

@ Tino

You're getting a PC port of Ninja Blade, what else do you need?

Dedicated Servers in COD MW2 would be nice...

You PC people and your dedicated servers. I play on 360 mainly so the idea of dedicated servers really does nothing for me. I had a hellish time trying to connect to PC games back in the day, especially anything on Steam. I tried tweaking everything I could think of and my luck was erratic. Matchingmaking, otoh, has proved pretty stable for me. I've rarely been DC'd from a game, unless of course the host decides to rage quit. And finding a game generally takes about 10-30 seconds from push to play. Maybe I just have terrible luck with PC stuff.

Actually, yes, I do.

But come on, NINJA BLADE. Clearly one of the defining titles of this generation. And YOU get to play it. Be excited.

I fail to see hype in this announcement. He's just stating that it will support Natal. How in the world is that hype?

No, you didn't read it correctly. It says Fable 3 will be a revolutionary, genre defining experience the likes of which no gamer has seen before, or is likely to see again. It will change the world. It will change the way you perceive the world and all within it.

That's what it says. And this time he means it. Seriously.

@ Wheatblade

What are you talking about? Fable was on PC and Microsoft ports everything eventually, that is why I expect and want Fable 2.

I hope Molyneux is promising too much here, trying to make Fable 3 microsoft's leading casual game doesn't bode well for fans of the series.

"this is the game that will unite the world in peace. i would have done it in fable2 but i couldn't. its also not a game and i hate people calling it that, i promise you'll have multiple orgasms just buying it. and i know it will solve world hunger and marijuana will be legal after just releasing the demo! in fact, people all across the world will crown me king of forever for eternity. this gam...i mean savior will not have dlc, it will have mlc instead. there will never ever be another game that will compare to my final masterpiece fable3 until my next final masterpiece i'm calling fable 4 that'll be my final masterpiece to end time with, because when i die the world and everyone will die with me, but i'll never die, i'll live forever and you will too just by buying the savior".

well, you heard it here first. peter molyneau must be telling the truth or he wouldn't say it with such vigor this time.

I smell annoying arm waving mini games, and they smell like rotting shit.

But I hope for an "imagine you're holding a sword and shield" fail - that would make me laugh so hard, I'd probably piss myself a little.

Oh Natal, you're the faggiest idea I've ever seen.
