Microsoft: Milo a Tech Demo - No Plans to Release it as a Game
Ricardo Trejo
The only reason why anyway gave two y’know whats about Kinect, formerly known as Project Natal, was because of that unbelievable demonstration of man meeting machine for the first time at last year’s E3 - and no, Seaman doesn’t count. Milo was the ultimate culmination of AI and creepiness, and since we first saw him throw those goggles we were certain he would one day become self aware. Well, it now appears that that day will never come… thank God. Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg explains:
“Project Milo is something that is in ongoing development at Lionhead Studios… Last year we unveiled the Project Natal technology, we showed a bunch of technology demos as part of that. And obviously [Milo] is a technology demo that continues to exist, but right now it’s not a game that we’re planning to bring to market.”
Well, there goes a million dudes sighing all at once, now that they will never get a chance to flash there private parts to an artificial computer character just to see what sort of reaction they could rise from him. But then again, perhaps this is for the best. And on one final note, should we consider this another nixed promise from the “genius” developer, Peter Molyneux?
