THQ Vice President Danny Bilson has said that he has ideas for a forty-million dollar game for Xbox 360′s motion controller Natal, but are waiting to see the Natal install-base before jumping into development.
“I have some concepts and some ideas that use Natal in a core game in a really, really cool way,” Bilson told CVG.
“But to your other question I don’t think the experience with the technology is there, I don’t think the install base is there because the game I’m thinking about is a $30m/$40m Natal game and the install base isn’t there yet to support that. The concept I have uses every corner of that tech and maybe in a couple of years we’ll do it.”
He added: “So there’s core potential there but on the creative side I’m absolutely focused on core… so an idea I have for that, aside for the one that we have, is a big core game.
“I think we have to wait a little bit just for the install base to justify spending a ton of money. Because my idea is a really expensive idea.”
Makes sense. It’s better seeing how the product does in sales before going off creating a game of that scale for it.
Thanks, CVG.
I can’t wait until E3 so we can finally see what all this inflated hype is about. Is Natal really that good? Is it really that revolutionary?
It’s either going to change the industry forever or be a novelty that’ll wear off after a few months.
As cool as Natal sounds, I for one think it wont do well. That’s because not many people want to move them selfs just to play a video game. The Move and the Wii is alright, because you only move your hands and arms. (I’m not that great at pointing out stuff…) But if Natal does well, I might just get it. So who knows.
