We can't kill him, that sucks. Can we at least use his head as a football? (soccer is a stupid name, its football)MaxTheReaper said:
Alone Disciple gave a really good reason already as to the real world applications of this technology, but it could be used loads in games as well. Imagine. With the Project Natal technology we already have immersive gaming, you need to actually try and dodge enemy fire or duck down to go into cover on any FPS or 3rd person shooter, and so on. Then, this just adds to the realism. Imagine characters, enemy and allied AI within the game, created using this technology designed for Milo. You can interact fully then with the characters, have an entire squad discussing tactics with you, you sending each individual ally to do a particular job, and it works like a real combat scenario. Or, take any other type of game, not just shooters, and do the same thing. It will basically make it a realistic environment within the game and create the feeling of total immersion and so on. Think of all the possibilities for this technology. Milo is only the start, if we think of it as a sort of demo being released onto the market then it could easily be transferred into most future gamesAbedeus said:
Don't you think it makes much more sense with the second half of the sentence cut out?Keane Ng said:
The fact is that if the option to be evil exists, people will take it. That is, unfortunately, the way it is. I realise I'm someone whose faith in humanity died a long time ago, but I can't help feeling that, as you said, people tend to take the evil path. That's not to say people are inherently evil, but they are selfish, and will tend to do things for no other reason than because they can. If the option exists to "abuse" Milo, people will take it.

I think Molyneux needs a realit check. If the Sims has taught me anything, it's that people love to ruin the lives of little virtual people.
If they make Milo, then people will abuse and torture Milo. And since he can't die, his suffering will be eternal.
Even if the game is designed so that it should be impossible to do this kind of thing, people will still find a way to do it.

I can't quite identify exactly what it is, but there's something about Peter Molyneux that makes me want to bang my head repeatedly against the wall whenever I see his face or hear his voice. Maybe it's his face. Or his voice.
That said, regardless of who's responsible for it, this Milo thing sounds like my absolute worst nightmare. I spend enough time trying to avoid my nephew, so the last thing I need is some bloody computerised kid bothering me. Maybe it responds to "piss off and leave me alone"? I dunno. Still, I can't help thinking it's all very clever.
