Molyneux's Milo is 'impossible' to categorise

Designer not keen on showing Natal title to focus group
Peter Molyneux has said that his Project Natal title featuring Milo is "so different" that a focus group wouldn't be able to accurately judge it.

Molyneux showed off 'boy sim' Milo at E3 last year, to the stunned amazement of the crowd.

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."

I reckon a few forum dwellers will be able to categorize it easy enough for you, Peter.

hmmm. Lets give this a shot. It's seaman with a kid instead of a fish from the meaning of life.

I'll have a shot. I'll even be sensible. You say that it's interactive. You say they'll be some sort of narrative. How about...

An Interactive Narrative.

Now that sounds awfully like a category Heavy Rain fell into. Problem solved.

This game would take a slightly demented twist if it was subtilted "the origama killer experience".

The Milo demo was jaw droppingly good but I don't see how it is going to evolve into a game.

Maybe they'll make it into something along the lines of Little Computer People, although having said that, that was good fun at the time!

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.

I don't want to talk to a digital boy. I'd rather talk to a big red circle on a red background that tells me, "I can't let you do that, Dave."

My guess is that they tried Milo on a focus group and everyone said, "I don't get it!" So they had to make up some nonsense about it being untestable.

I really hope they’re not making a catholic priest simulator!

I really hope they?re not making a catholic priest simulator!

"Ok Milo, you need to bend over and confess your sins" "What ever you say, Father"

I really hope they’re not making a catholic priest simulator!

Or an Islamic Sim..."We're a peaceful religion, kill them, kill all the infidels!"
