Bethseda dev: Natal “wasted on games”

Posted in Bethesda, Project Natal, Xbox 360 with tags on May 20, 2010 by James Love

Bethseda developer Ashley Cheng has written on his blog that he believes Project Natal “seems wasted on games.”

Cheng went on to say that “Microsoft should open the Natal API up like Apple does with the iPhone/iPad” and by letting anyone make an app for Natal he can see “a killer app that has nothing to do with gaming” coming from it.

Microsoft Saudi marketing manager Syed Bilal Tariq earlier announced that Natal would see an October release.
