Rare: Natal an opportunity to evolve the FPS

British developer hopes to break new ground.

Speaking to MCV as part of a feature on the first-person shooter genre, Rare's head of studio Mark Betteridge has revealed the Microsoft-owned studio sees Project Natal as a chance to evolve the much loved genre.

"It’s still a booming business, you only have to look at the success of the Halo series to see that," said Betteridge. "And we’re obviously very happy about the excitement over Perfect Dark coming back to Xbox Live Arcade.

"Right now our sights are trained on Natal, which is a great opportunity to break new ground with content and gameplay, It’s also an opportunity to exercise some genre evolution, so hopefully we’ll be able to develop something on that front."
