Quantic Dream’s boss David Cage is a bit skeptical of the upcoming motion-sensing peripheral from Microsoft, claiming that the company lied on it’s Natal presentation at last year’s E3 conference. Speaking to Destructoid, Cage said:

I’ve seen Natal, and I’m really curious to see what they’re going to do with it. I was a bit frustrated that they presented it with a sci-fi-type presentation..

When the kid comes in with the skateboard and the laser ray, scanning the skateboard, and then it’s in the game. The ability to take pictures and then map images into a game is possible, but not to the extent that the Natal promo video would like us to believe. We are in the industry; we know what’s feasible and what’s not.

I thought it was a little bit lying to present it that way, because it will let [consumers] think that they will [see] something that they are not really close to getting.

Microsoft is set to reveal more details of their new hardware at this year’s E3 while Cage on the other hand, was already hinting at PlayStation Move support for Heavy Rain since Sony’s magic wand was announced.
