Will Gears of War 3 Support Natal?
The answer is quite possibly. In a recent interview with OXM, Epic Game’s vice president Mark Rein made it clear that he’s quite fond of Microsoft’s new motion camera peripheral. Epic’s Unreal technology was used to power the tech demos during Microsoft’s Natal unveil at E3, so it’s possible that Unreal could become the unofficial middleware for Natal.
Rein went on to talk about how he thinks Natal could be used for traditional hardcore games, and how he’d like to see Epic utilize the technology for many of its upcoming titles. “It's definitely cool stuff and we will support it,” said Rein. “I think any future Xbox games we make will have some Natal support. We always want to have something that exploits the unique capabilities of a platform.”
Does that mean gamers will be throwing grenades with just a flick of their wrist in the next Gears of War? We can’t wait to find out.
