Rumor: Work Halted on Project Milo

[MR.Spartacus]

Honestly, I'm not surprised. I've never been a fan of Kinect the way it stands at the moment (I think it's a great idea, but the games I've seen thus far haven't made me want one at all).

Also... why would any adult who doesn't want to be nicknamed Paedo want to 'interact with an AI boy'. I mean, I wouldn't. It's creepy.

That's the problem with, aint it? Make it about a hot twenty-something and sell out in an hour. Molyneux has some "interesting" ideas for games. Between this and the B&W phallic near stab I'm starting that boy is touched in the head.

It's hilarious how Milo was a "killer app" for Kinect for many people, yet now is not even going to see a release.

I am not sure things could get any worse for Microsoft. But then again, there is always Murphy's law...

yes, because everybody knows that a cloud-based artificial intelligence is the best way to go, not like there would be an "anonymouse" group of people that would take it into themselves to corrupt that!

anyone ever heard of "cleverbot"???

Yeah, I made it sing the pokemon and fresh prince theme songs

My bosses son was doing the motion capture for Milo over the past year or so, they stopped him working a couple of weeks ago, shame really all expenses paid visits to LA & back every few months must have been awesome for an 11 year old!

John Dower (Director of the Milo project) just got off the phone with my boss confirming the rumours & told him a lot of people have been let go while others have moved to the Fable Kinect game.

Hopefully the technology won't go to waste.
