Johnny Lee interview:

http://www.360magazine.co.uk/general/natal-dev-natal-will-spawn-new-genres-of-videogames/

360: Do you think Natal is likely to spawn entirely new genres of videogame?

Johnny Chung Lee: “Almost certainly.  Most of the current game genres are optimized for the input device that was available.  With the additional of motion and pointing sensing, we’ve already seen several great examples where developers are exploring novel kinds of gaming experiences.

“The lines blur between game categories, and the lines blur between control mechanics. Natal provides a very different set of input capabilities than your typical game pad.  To really take advantage of those capabilities, new kinds of experiences will have to be explored.”

Lee also said that Natal won’t necessarily be more geared toward casual gamers and that the technology will be very entirely compatible with the regular 360 controller. But… you’re gonna have to check out issue 54 of 360 Magazine for the full interview. Yep, we’re cock-teases.
