With Lionhead Studios working on Milo, the virtual boy that will showcase all of Project Natal's capabilities, you would imagine that studio head Peter Molyneux is rather familiar with the platform. Surely he wants to use it as much as possible in his future games. Well, Molyneux is up to his usual shenanigans, neither confirming nor denying whether Natal will be featured in Fable III, but dropping some pretty big hints.

In an interview with Dutch site Game Kings, Molyneux said that Fable III would use the Xbox 360 controller, but could not miss an opportunity to sound mysterious.

See Molyneux materialize hype out of thin air after the break.

"I am going to say it's going to use a controller. But I've never said it's not going to use Natal," he said. "And obviously what would probably happen if I started talking about this is you would see a little red dot appear moving on my forehead. And then as I would start to speak the words then there would be a shot, gunfire, and I would be assassinated. Quite clearly it is that sensitive.

"But let me give this to you absolutely straight. I have not said that we're not going to have Natal in Fable III. All I have really said is it is a controller experience. That doesn't mean there isn't going to be Natal."

If Natal wasn't going to be in Fable III, wouldn't Molyneux be free to say whatever he wanted? The fact that there are restrictions to how much he can reveal implies there is something to reveal.

Still, Molyneux left one last clue, just in case it wasn't already totally obvious: "Do you really think ... knowing me ... I wouldn't want to use something like Natal? I mean that's just mad, man."
