I take your two no-named websites milo negative previews and raise you two positive IGN and eurogamer previews

I wasn't saying the fake was a bad fake. Note that at VGChartz my initial repsonse was very positive towards Natal.

But IMO they should have waited until they had something real to show. Now it just looked like they wanted to attract interest towards something which still had very little basis. Not good for real existing innovations which get fewer attention at the show.

A quick question for you, were you bashing Sony for doing the exact same thing with its PS3?  I remember the year the 360 was launched Sony was spewing so much fake shit it wasn't funny.  Trying to get people to just wait for their super computer PS3 most awesome c3ll tech invention of all time.  Sigh....

 

Some how I don't think you were.

Yes, I have to some extend. For example I thought Sony execs didn't clarify enough or accurately tell what they were showing exactly with the early target game trailers. But IMO by far nothing as severe as the fake Milo presentation, if someone at Sony would have picked a controller and pretended to be playing the CGI target videos, then that would have been on a similar level. Understand?

I might be mistaken but didn't Sony do the same thing with Killzone 2  or some other game?  The fact is both Sony and Microsoft have been known to do some stupid shit.  Just some people seem to forget that and then bash the other company for doing exactly the same thing.

 

Milo had only been worked on for a few months time.  Do you seriously think they would have been able to design a fully functional AI that did everything MILO did in the same period?  If I'm not mistaken they mentioned this at the start of the demonstration.  Milo wasn't faked it was "tricked".   Example...  Ever cry in a movie?  If you have the movie tricked your emotions into believing what you were seeing was real.  Just like thousands of lines of code tricked some people into believing Milo was "real".

 

People just need to lay off of Project Natal until its done, and then if it sucks you can gloat then.  Until that time your all just blowing smoke and looking ignorant.
