We are the unofficial engine of Natal, or maybe the official, I don&#8217;t know. In other words, we consider ourselves the &#8216;economic engine of Natal.&#8217; You want to make money with Natal, come talk to us, we&#8217;ll help you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite this Rein revealed that Epic has yet to confirm what they plan to do with the engine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re just sitting down with them in the next two weeks I think, to bring our studio guys in to have a look. I have no idea what we&#8217;re going to do from a game standpoint, but from an engine standpoint, it&#8217;s definitely cool stuff, and we will support it. I think any future Xbox games we make will have some Natal support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although Epic&rsquo;s future plans for Natal have not been confirmed, gamers will be happy to hear that the Xbox 360&rsquo;s upcoming motion controller system will be able to deliver titles which match up to the calibre of the Gears of War franchise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php?t=3123\" target=\"_self\">Discuss Epic&#8217;s plans for Project Natal<\/a> in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Epic Games announce that the Unreal Engine 3 will be compatible with motion controller<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4624\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
