Lionhead Planning To Incorporate Project Natal Into All Upcoming Projects

In addition to the "Milo" demo from E3 earlier this year, we know Lionhead Studios will be developing Fable III to incorporate Project Natal. Specifics aren't known (as is the case for much of Project Natal), but it will support the device. It turns out Lionhead is so encouraged by Project Natal all of its upcoming projects will support it, based on a job posting discovered by Total Video Games.

"Reporting to the Head of Technology, the role involves working within Lionhead's Central Technology Group R&D team to develop innovative technology for the XBox 360 Natal controller," reads the description for a "senior Natal technology programmer" position. "Our Natal tech will be used across all Lionhead projects to provide new user interface experiences for our future games.

There's a key word in there. All. But, of course, that doesn't mean Project Natal will become the centerpiece for all of Lionhead games, only that Lionhead intends to implement elements of Project Natal into everything going forward. There will be games that require Project Natal but likely many that make it optional. Until we know more about Lionhead's plans, it's unclear where they will draw the line.
