One of the creators of Fallout 3 has claimed that Project Natal will be ‘wasted on games’.
In a blog post, the production director Ashley Cheng said that Microsoft should follow the Apple route and ‘open up Natal’ so anybody can make applications for it.
According to Cheng, he is left ‘buzzing’ by the hardware which will allow controller-free gaming.
“Seeing it in action, I was totally blown away by it,” he said.
“It seems wasted on games, really. Microsoft should open the NATAL API up like Apple does with the iphone/ipad. Let anyone make a NATAL “app.” I bet someone makes a killer app that has nothing to do with gaming.”
We’ll find out more from E3 next month on what Microsoft plans to do with Natal.
