Outside of tech demonstrations and modifications of several existing Xbox 360 games, we haven't seen what Project Natal is capable of. Microsoft is keeping those games under wraps. But speaking with Capcom's VP of strategic planning and business development Christian Svensson at CES last week, I learned about Capcom's potentially ambitious plans for one Project Natal game.
"I can't talk about what we're doing on Natal right now yet because we haven't announced it, although we have announced that we're working on stuff," said Svensson, emphasizing his vagueness.
He was willing to tease a little more about one unannounced game, however.
"I think you'll see again a brand focus on what we're doing there [on Natal], perhaps a brand we haven't seen in a while," he said with a coy smile, as Capcom public relations eyeballed us. "That's exciting."
Svensson did elaborate when pressed on whether it would be similar to Capcom's approach to Resident Evil 5 on PlayStation 3, which is getting updated to support Sony's upcoming motion controller.
"We're gonna make a 'gamers game' for Natal using something amongst our brand history"
"What we're doing is creating it from the ground up for Natal, in this case. But it's..." he said, pausing. "How do I describe this...it's created from the ground up for Natal. We're not looking at Natal as 'okay, here's a little Natal gimmick that we've worked into some existing game.'"
When I jokingly proposed a spin-off of mini-games set in the Resident Evil universe, he corrected me.
"That's not the plan," said Svensson.
"The approach is we're gonna make a 'gamers game' for Natal using something amongst our brand history," he continued. "I know [Mega Man creator and Capcom head of R&D Keiji] Inafune is really excited about it, he's been very vocal both in Japan and with the media about his vision of what Natal brings. I'm going to have to ask you to wait and see."
Microsoft announced Project Natal would be released during the holidays at CES, but Svensson made it clear to me that Capcom was not rushing this one out the door to meet that deadline.
"We're not going to be at launch, just to temper the expectations," he said. "We're gonna cook something and it's gonna to take a while to cook."
Let the speculation begin.

This is what I like to hear. Not some crappy mini game but a game built for hardcore gamers from the ground up. This is going to show us what Natel can really do. Can't wait to hear what game it is.

If this is Megaman Legends 3, I'll buy Natal first day, I swear to all the divine entities there are ever were.
You'll never ever guess, yeah right. It very well maay not be MML3, but if it is, I'll soil my pants!

The hardest game they ever made was Ghosts n' Goblins. That's what it is.

Mega-Man would be Mega-Awesome.

Sure is Strider Hiryu, that would be awesome

If the teams create move setups for fighting games like Street Fighter and Tekken that scanned certain position for a move (like the punch, kick, supers and ultra activation), it would give the player freedom to customize their characters to their speed and space movement and make it more enjoyable as well make a workout. I own the kickboxing pad for ps2 and I use it for tekken 5 all the time. There are senors that fit on the arms and legs ( Tekken is setup for left/right punchs and kicks so the left and right senors activates the arms and legs of the characters how they would in the real world).The pad controls the movement of the character with jumping up on the pad to jump. I tell ya.... its a workout every time I use it.

street fighter vs x-men REMIX????
SkylerZio
ok, didnt read the wall of text above, but when I think hardcore and capcom, i think Megaman.

Which spurs a good question. I wonder if more exclusive games will start coming out due to Natal being "unportable" like Wii games
BigBlakBackward
I would love a new Resident Evil game already but, we haven't seen a Dino Crisis game since the PSOne, please do it right, tense and light on the ammo like the first but as more cool dino encounters like the second!
xPs360x
sorry I only do hardcore games with the controller...
sinewave
MEGAMAN LEGENDS 3 !!!! Whatever it is, it's gonna be very very good. And hopefully only on 360. I can't see PS3's motion wand even coming close to what Natal offers.
SiK
Meh still not going to get Natal unless its like super duper amazeing
HeiniSchplitzen
My vote is Darkstalkers, although jumping around in front of a camera to fight would suck! Still BRING IT BACK!!!!
