There seems to be a lot of confusion over just exactly what the Milo demonstration was.

As far as I know, there isn't, nor was there ever a game titled "Milo" in the works. It was a demonstration to show how players could potentially interact with in-game characters through Natal in the future.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't particularly see the entertainment value in a game based on talking to and interacting with a 5 year old boy.

But, with little stretch of the imagination, if it actually works as hyped, players could potentially see things like the "awesome" text wheel in Mass Effect (or any RPG) replaced by actual direct character interaction in first person perspective.

Adventure games in general requiring a lot of NPC interaction could benefit greatly from Natal. Again; assuming it works as hyped. Unfortunately, there would still be a lot of issues since you can't very well design a game with characters that accurately and realistically respond to ANYTHING a player could potentially say for obvious reasons.

On the other hand, if they are actually developing a game called Milo, based upon developing an in-game relationship with a 5 year old boy, I think I'll pass.

It doesn't sound like a critical review weighing the good with the bad, it sounds like someone gushing about a kids ball game while stating that the response time and accuracy are all flawlessly perfect.

Yes this article makes Natal sounds good, but it's far from proof, a video demonstration, an accurate review or a trustworthy source.

The reviewer tried too hard, which raises the question if the article was paid. Regardless, like almost any review on Move lately it focuses too much on irrelevant things as well. I guess, relevant ones - namely games that matter - will come not until E3

 From what I've read it seems most see the source questionable while you think it's very genuine. It's the accuracy of the review more than the accuracy of Natal that's being questioned. As far as single player I thought is was already shown with Burnout that it works well enough. The person who played Burnout last year  with Natal stated that even though it work he still rather use a controller. What we don't know is how well and fast can it handle more than one person at a time.

As far as Mircosoft I have no love for them as they could not care less about me. Yet I still use Windows and own a 360. If I find anything interesting with Natal I will buy one  in spite of my lack of love for Microsoft.

The application has amazing potential and as expected will be widely trashed by M$ detractors. I will reserve judgement untill I see an actual game I would want to play. Wave is not marketed at me obviously. Hope it doesn't limit my choices. I expect sales to be underwhelming after an initial flurry. Depends on games announced at E3 and the asking price.

I'm pretty sure that Microsoft has a secret division of employees who are handed large quantities of cash daily to travel the world and money hat every game, or game related item they can find, for the sole purpose of making the 360 brand stronger.

I mean it's completely obvious right?

In the real world, MS has some answers they need to provide this E3; the promise of Natal is out there, let's see if they can actually deliver.

Are you saying the development for Natal has stood still for nearly 12 months? How can any of us take a Hands on from 12 months ago over a recent hands on. Alot can be modified and improved in 12 months in the Gaming business. And how can anyone question the accuracy of a review when none of us have tried it like him this past 4 weeks?

Like I said, reserving judgement is fine. But making wild accusations using 6-12 month old hands on of a developing product is very bias.

lol but they keep showin the game where u have to catch big red ball , y not show somethin betterrrrrrrr?

I can't wait for natal, or wave. I think it will be a great new input device, and eventualy like others have stated i think it will make its way up there with the mouse and keyboard.

Sounds Awesome if all is True, really Looking Forward to E3.
