Microsoft announced its big E3 Natal event this month. Is THQ going to be front and center there?

Let me put it this way: they want us to be. That's really good.

I have a game that they're really excited about that we haven't announced. It's making awesome use of the Natal technology. I won't put it in there unless it's awesome on that date. It will be awesome in the fall, but if it's not awesome for that event, I'm not putting it in there.

That's the only thing I'm slowing down on that because in rebuilding THQ everything's got to be awesome. We're in an uphill battle from a company that didn't used to be that way.

The product is great, it's really cool. It'll be there if it's ready, let me just put it that way. I believe it'll be there if it's ready; they want to see it really bad.

Do you think this first wave of Natal and Move games are going to do the business, are will it take a few years before we see the tech used properly?

Well obviously - and you've probably seen this in your whole life in gaming - the first stuff is always the first struggle with new technology or new code or software. Iteration is the magic of the business, right?

So you're right. It's inevitable that the stuff will get better and better over time. But remember, I'm the hardcore games group so I have one really awesome Natal project. Our other group has a bunch in the more family and kids area - because that's what a lot of that is.

 

 

Should be interesting to see what devs are cooking up for this thing.

Hope it's as good as they say.
