Subsequent comments from Molyneux have suggested that the interaction with Milo will form part of a longer narrative.
"We are at the moment making something whose title I can't reveal, but you saw a glimpse of it at E3 (in the Project Natal demos)," Molyneux told The times today. "It is so different and new that trying to get a focus group to look at it and respond is almost impossible."
The Milo demo was jaw droppingly good but I don't see how it is going to evolve into a game.
I've got a feeling that this will evolve into a game in much the same way Nintendo come up with their games. Basically, it won't be aimed at 'core' gamers like ourselves but will be aimed at the same people that buy 'casual' games on the DS and Wii.
I know everyone either thought it was clever(though it was never shown to us working proper;y in any way at all)or damn creepy but am I alone in thinking it looked like most boring pile of wanky turd ever to fall, steaming, from the bottom of gaming?
Seriously, my dog needs sunglasses and a Lambo more than ANYONE needs this toss.
I really didn't see the appeal. Yay you get to have a conversation with a computer. Where everything is just pre-scripted. I just find it very strange to try and have a chat with my television. To me, someone that would 'want' to do this has something wrong going on upstairs. Just go and socialise with someone in real life, not a computer.
