Natal could allow players to enter adventure games

News - Telltale enthused by possibilities

Speaking about the significance of Natal, Telltale boss Dan Connors has said that the technology could potentially be huge, allowing players to actively participate in adventure games, thanks to the full-body motion control.

Chatting to Videogamer, Connors said: "Obviously with the type of games that we make, the idea of making a person an actor inside of one of our adventures is an idea that's been theoretical for a long time. It's nice to see things happening that can get it closer.

"It's a huge opportunity to give the user more ways to interact with the world than just the traditional cursor-based and dialogue-based way in which the games work."

Telltale are apparently rather taken with the way Natal could change the way people experience and interact with adventure titles. "For us, having the user be able to be a character in one of the worlds and solve mysteries and puzzles is a huge deal, a huge leap forward," Connors concludes.
