Forums - Microsoft - Lionhead might be working on another Natal game

matt247 on 26 February 2010

When Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios unveiled Milo & Kate at E3 2009 in collaboration with their reveal of their hands-free motion controller Project Natal, it simultaneously caused a furore and belittled the idea of celebrities ever looking normally playing games. Shortly before the smoke-and-mirrors stories of Milo being a fraud AI, Creative Director of MGS Europe Peter Molyneux announced Fable III at Gamescom 2009 and is currently gathering feedback on the same. Rumours are also running rampant of a third Lionhead Studios game, where the company is looking for some one to “develop and maintain network code”.

We’re not sure if this is the above mentioned third secret title, but one thing’s for sure: Lionhead Studios has plans for Natal that go beyond a little boy and his dog.

Daniel Gray is a production assistant at Lionhead Studios, who used to work as a QA tester for Fable II. He’s since been “working on an as of yet unannounced title utilizing Project Natal” for the past 8 months.

Interestingly, he began work in July 2009 – a good one month after Milo & Kate was announced at E3. So it most definitely can’t be that. Is this a fourth title, or is Lionhead looking to incorporate network code and Natal play into one experience? Maybe something in the Black & White franchise? Hopefully we’ll hear more at GDC or E3 2010.

 

 

 

There could be a small chance of it being Fable III, I don't think it wasn't announce at that time

Cool...Lionhead is working hard to bring great content to Natal, and that's a good thing.

Wow, I've seen some wags before but this takes the biscuit.

Milo and kate isn't a game, it was a tech demonstration to show off the potential for natal and peter's vision for character interaction in future games. So what if its a fraud AI? They never said it was real. The entire thing was probably scripted and i felt it was blatantly obvious that they never intended for it to be interpreted any other way. Why would they make a game like that? It wouldn't sell.

Milo and Kate is a game. Peter at X10 said they are still working on it so I don't think it will be a luanch Natal title.



Just want to play good games

I wonder if its Black and White 3? It seems perfect for the Natal interface, though finger tracking would be even better with the 'pinching' or 'grabbing' motions being used in the game a fair bit.
