Why they made it? Maybe because they believe people will like it? Or because Molyneux is "obsessed" with making you bond with an AI? I mean, he has this vision, and he thinks people will like it, so why wouldn't he make it?

And it was used at E3 to generate more hype for Natal as well as show the game off.

Also, they had only had 2 months with Natal by then, so it's obvious the thing wouldn't be very polished.

Oh, I just looked for the IGN impression of Milo, and it's completelly different from what one would expect given your comment:

"Though none of us got to see the picture-scanning segment or the aforementioned fish-skipping moments from Monday, Milo did react to most of what we did in a believable way when we did it "properly." Obviously, there's still a long ways to go... Even so, the potential for this game and how you could ultimately interact with the character is very high, and I'm excited to see where it goes next."

He also says he was impressed by Natal. And by the way he describes it, he made confunsing questions, and those gave Milo problems, but the thing worked when he dropped those. Again, just like a chatterbox, it's not intended to be used trying to break it, but if you try to see how much of a conversation you can actually squeeze out of it, it can be fun even when the thing itself is very rudimentary. Kind of like a puzzle.

So, yeah. But Milo has been "reannounced" (or un-canned), so you really have no point in saying they realized they couldn't make it or anything like that.

you have like 10xmy posts and yet you call rainbird a troll , you think the news weren't reporting worthy when he thought it was true? maybe you should more attention next time to the OP before calling him a troll or better yet, stop being too emotional.

Nah they just realised what Greenberg said was dangerous to Kinect PR so they will pretend to continue developing it and officialy cancel it next year when people already bough some of those cameras.

Lol, thanks for shit.

The news was never report worthy.  Maybe you should try reading what I wrote, I never explicitly called the OP a troll in this instance.  I aint emotional, perhaps you should stop taking things so personal yourself.  I'll express my opinion however I feel (I'm not breaking any rules), if you don't like that then I suggest you don't read my posts.  Bye bye.

I somehow seemed to think another poster who has been very prevalent in this thread was the OP not yourself.  In other words I apologise for accusing you of steering the conversation in any way whatsoever.  I do still think you jumped the gun posting the "news" though.

No harm done, although I don't see how it wasn't newsworthy ,he made a pretty clear statement after all, but whatever.

Did you even read the article?

"Molyneux had me wrap up the demo by approaching Milo again. He asked me to call Milo over by saying my own name and acting happy. Milo walked up to me and complimented me on my blue shirt (my shirt was indeed blue). Then he stood there, waiting for me to say things. There was a little awkwardness here. The Milo demo was partially being manipulated by a developer who was sitting nearby, and I couldn't tell if he was merely calibrating the game or how much he was pulling its strings."

bye bye *cries*

That seems like a big waste. They could be making money on that from consumers!
