Microsoft has started looking for a number of new people to join a Project Natal-specific studio the company is putting together. The studio is being built from the ground up, is made up of “some of the industry’s most creative, innovative, and technical minds,” and will be working on what is referred to as Microsoft Game Studios’ “Natal job.”

Among the open positions the studio is looking to fill are environmental, FX and UI artists, level and game designers, development engineer, and executive producer.

Some keywords that can be found when going through the job listings include “immersive,” “innovative,” “AAA,” “a large franchise,” “character interaction,” “combat,” “strategy” — certainly sounds like they’re assembling a team to work on something a bit more hardcore than your casual kick-the-ball game.

The studio is apparently going to be working with some of the most powerful game engines available for the system as it’s looking for “people who can learn quickly and come up to speed with the latest generation technologies such as the Unreal Engine or CryEngine.”

Whatever the “Natal job” ends up being, the studio appears to be developing other Natal projects alongside it as well — the executive producer’s job listing mentions the studio is working on “the next great [Microsoft Game Studios] franchises for Natal.”

There are lots of jobs listed for Natal on MS's site.  There are also lots of job listings for Halo projects.

I hate Natal threads.  Usually 90% pathetic trolling, and 10% Decent discussion.

yeah well they better have a killerapp ready for E3 2010! :)

Is your post a representation of the 90% or the 10%?

Anyway, as if there was any doubt, MSFT is taking Project Natal seriously...very seriously.

I've gotta say this. MS is gonna need some serious software to back this up. It's gonna have to be at least as good as Wii's best motion games (not the 3rd party junk) and possibly even better than that. MS is not gonna be able to get away with just plugging in Natal into Forza or Halo. Without a controller at least for tactile feedback doing this right is gonna be hard.

Hiring talent is a good start for creating compelling software for Natal.

Lol my bad I made a mistake in my calculations.   Its 85% Pathetic trolling, 10% Decent discussion, and 5% bitching about the trolling

Yeah, I thought your numbers were inaccurate.

Shows people care about Natal.

So now Microsoft has six studios now. More exclusives for my Xbox. Plus they need a level designer. Quick! Someone get Twesterm!
