Unreal The "Unofficial Engine" Of Project Natal?

Epic Games, the champion of Microsoft and the creators of all things Unreal plus Gears of War is officially on board with Microsoft's game changing control scheme "Project Natal." VP Mark Rein calls the company's popular Unreal tech "the unofficial engine of Natal."

In an interview with OXM UK, Rein says he also considers Unreal the "economic engine of Natal," the platform upon which developers should go to if they "want to get a big headstart and use the same tech as Microsoft."

Rein also says that, going forward, don't be surprised if you see Natal's motion and voice detection control schemes in future Epic Games titles.

"I have no idea what we're going to do from a game standpoint, but from an engine standpoint, it's definitely cool stuff, and we will support it," he says. "I think any future Xbox games we make will have some Natal support."

EA Sports made it know to the world that “Grand Slam Tennis”, which originally debuted on the Wii, has been in development for the PS3 and Xbox 360 for some time but was mysteriously delayed back in August.

Grand Slam Tennis will arrive on the Sony PS3 in the Spring when Sony PS3 MoCo glowing wands arrives. Xbox owners will be seeing a similar version later on Natal in the fall 2010. With Sony being first to the HD MoCo wars it will be very interesting to see how the gaming public warm up to Sony attempted to capture the casual gamer.
