Crackdown 2 developer Ruffian has told CVG that it's got an eye on using Project Natal for a mini-game in a future instalment of the series.
Speaking in an exclusive interview - which you'll be able to read on this site very soon - Ruffian producer James Cope said:
"I think Natal as an experience is great because it's opening up a kind of social gaming thing and there's a good place for that. I don't think that fits with what makes Crackdown, Crackdown right now.
"But that's not to say it doesn't fit in with what we want to do with it in the future... we have an opportunity to look at Natal... Because Crackdown is a bit of a non-sensical world and it's about mini-games and having fun within that, we can look at building mini-games that make sense for Natal into the Crackdown univese."
The news comes after Valve's Chet Faliszek told CVG in no uncertain terms that the US developer would never put a 'tiresome' Natal mini-game in a future Left 4 Dead - despite branding the hardware "very cool".
