- njn 16y agoOh cool, an update to the old Seaman game for Dreamcast.
- rossj 16y agoThere are at least 4 things in that video that give it away as 100% staged. Bonus points if you can spot them.
- kuahyeow 16y agoNot to mention, it's from 2009
- jerguismi 16y agoYeah, highly suspicious. Molyneux has overpromised things before.
- Ygor 16y ago- Too quick reaction to the "that is if you have finished your school project part", to soon during the "that is..." part? - The camera starts to zoom-in (in game) at the exact time to react to the future time of her finishing the drawing, although it would be very hard to predict the correct time of that happening? Am I close?
- rossj 16y agoAnother one is her reflection on screen, during the fishing, moving before she does at one point.
- sambeau 16y agoI have been told by a member of staff that worked on this at Lionhead that it was completely faked.
- Maciek416 16y agoThe boy's gaze is made to point up and to the right to make it look (from our angle) as if he's facing the actress playing the game, but given that this isn't a holographic star trek TV, she's seeing the same picture we are.. Which means they're not seeing eye to eye.
- terrellm 16y agoHere's a YouTube video that shows 3 of those points... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFAK8ubYtZE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFAK8ubYtZE
- StavrosK 16y agoUh, the voice is not autogenerated (it sounds natural), and hence it's 100% certain that this was scripted?
- chrischen 16y agoWas that scripted or did Microsoft finally get voice recognition working?
- kenjackson 16y agoNatal has working voice recognition. It was shown at E3 this past year to control accessing media content. It looks pretty cool. Voice control is perfect for the living room.
- glhaynes 16y agoVoice control is perfect for the living room. I'd be wary of it being too easily triggerable, though.
- Groxx 16y ago"We want popcorn!" "Searching for: Porn"
- tiles 16y agoHey, they said it was voice detection. They didn't say they mastered prediction.
- deleted 16y ago[deleted]
- sliverstorm 16y agoClearly, it must be even better than I thought. It hears what you're really thinking about, rather than what you're talking about.
- fname 16y agoThere was a talk at TEDGLobal 2010 about Milo, given by Peter Molyneux. Molyneux ended the demonstration with the shocking truth that all the world's Milos are going to form a Borg-like hive mind, with the AI data "in the cloud" (as Wired puts it), continually learning from individual interactions http://www.joystiq.com/2010/07/13/milo-meet-ted-molyneux-demonstrates-milo-at-conference/ http://www.joystiq.com/2010/07/13/milo-meet-ted-molyneux-dem... Very interesting...
- nickelplate 16y agoMolyneux is insanely brilliant, but he tends to hype his games so much that the end result falls short of expectations. He's made similar claims about Fable - then known as Project Ego - that never materialized.
- sliverstorm 16y agoWhat an apt project name
- thorax 16y agoThis is from 2009-- I guess the relevance again is the TED talk reported this week? http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-07/13/peter-molyneux-milo-and-kate-xbox-kinect-preview http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-07/13/peter-molyneu... The Microsoft product for interacting with Milo is now called Kinect as of E3 2010: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/kinect http://www.xbox.com/en-US/kinect
- joubert 16y ago1) understands emotion? Do i need british intonation? 2) why don't they put up a website where you can interact with the character?
- sliverstorm 16y agoIn regards to #2, I can't imagine they have the desire or resources to offer something online freely to the public that requires the kind of resources this thing is bound to use.
- shin_lao 16y agoEven if this weren't faked, this sounds 100 times more boring than an asteroids game. Oooh, look, I put my hands in the water and the fishes go away! Show me gameplay.
- _debug_ 16y ago:-) Very true. I'm personally quite addicted to Flying Shark, which was released in 1987, I think (and which I play with Radiohead's "Talk Show Host", Live at Pinkpop 2001 Landgraaf in a continuous loop). 3-D and interactivity is all well and good, but is it fun?
- rbanffy 16y agoYou overestimate humans. Milo is the ultimate tamagotchi.
- chaostheory 16y agoMicrosoft's Xbox PR chief Aaron Greenberg has said that Peter Molyneux's Kinect-controlled virtual boy Milo is a tech demo, and that Microsoft has no plans to release it as an Xbox 360 title. http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/microsoft-says-molyneux-s-milo-is-only-a-tech-demo-699668 http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/microsoft-says-molyneux... As nickelplate already mentioned, Molyneux is an awesome marketer. Almost all of his games fall short of the hype he builds, though all of his games are also semi-revolution and unique.
