Microsoft’s Greenberg: Milo “absolutely” still in development

LOOOOL
What a complete backtrack.. what a joke he is,

“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.”

That qoute sums up Mr Molyneux to a T.

@ Agreed. Classic Molyneux.

Promise and hype something revolutionary, and then you find out it’s half of what he said it would be.

So, the only thing that looked remotely revolutionary about Natal isn’t actually a product?
That’s reassuring.

I knew it since last year.. Everything was fake! Shame on you M$ for lying to people like this.

@3 : play EyePet you do same stuff.

who didn’t see that coming?
molyneux rears his ugly ass head

Back-tracking, eh?

The fact that it was a tech demo and probably won’t be released doesn’t necessarily mean it was ‘fake’.

Seems weird that Greenberg and Molyneux’s comments seem to contradict each other. Unless they’re using some parts of the Milo tech to make a completely different game? Which to be honest would be preferable – I was struggling to imagine how they would have ever turned Milo and Kate into something viable.

I doubt it was “fake” but it was definitely overhyped by MS. Fact is voice recognition and AI dosnt need Kinect, and the stuff the camera was actually used for (going of what was shown of it) was pretty basic to.

This news should surprise precisely nobody.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the whole idea of a tech demo to show the tech in action, we all know that the demo was in fact staged, so what was the point. Wasn’t it then indeed one of the biggest wastes of every ones time at E3 09.
Think back to E3, the Move demo’s were all real time archery and such, even the main Natal ball bouncing and avatars shoe thing were working “tech” demo’s. This to me just stinks of them realising that it didn’t work, yes they may use certain elements in other games but the tech just wasn’t up to it.
rant over.

I wonder why people even listen to this guy anymore.

Milo and Kate was the only reason I was stoked for Natal. Still, there’s always Kinectimals…

@11. Agreed on them realising that their tech wasn’t of a high enough quality and reliability to be able to take M&K any further. Reports surfaced previously about deliberate, staged demos and the limitations of what it could achieve.
Molyneux’s consistent, you can’t take that away from the man.

It certainly sounds like Greenburg’s distancing Microsoft from it, not standing behind it. It’s like it was just a small pet project of Lionhead’s that MS decided to whip out to show everybody, last year, but it didn’t hold up to scrutiny and prodding, so it’s discontinued now.

Im telling you, its going to be their version of Heavy Rain. The kid gets crushed by a tree in a storm, and you have to track him down, then wave your arms about to push the tree trunk off him. Guarantee it.

Hmm. Thats not the tune they were singing last year. Shame it was one of the few imppressive things about Kinect

But the E3 demo was not real it was manipulated by two devs standing away from the “player” so did this thing ever actually exist?

Damn…EPIC fail.

Mylo is the most stupid thing i’ve ever seen in my whole life!
creepy kid! Go back to ‘the shinning’, or whatever terror movie you were in!

I don’t know why anyone is surprised at this. I remember saying when this was revealed that this would be a big conundrum for MS to market as a a game and no one would buy it. People said i was crazy and of course people would buy it.

But now I am proven right take it bitches!!

PS Molyneux is still a total wank

if MS released this then all the pedos can just play with milo

Did anyone notice it says milo&kate do u get a virtual kate too or a mannequin kate.

LMFAO! Down the drain you go M$ Hey everyone lets go to amazon and see all those pre-orders for Natal crash

@21 Inflateable Kate.

Milo and Kate Special Edition comes with RealHair(TM) too!

ZzzzzZzzzzz

Get rid of Milo, add Debbie (sexy milf in lingerie), give us as much masturbation interaction material as possible, rate product M for mature, and watch the shit fly off the shelves….lmfao.

That’d be an AO!

I wouldn’t mind it. Now everybody can be a porn director!

Eh, all this should have been known 30m after E3 09.

So, does this retroactively disqualify MS from ‘winning’ that E3? All of that hype, all of the build up, the smoke, mirrors and promises; What I want to really know is: Why haven’t the gamming press caught on to this backlash? Is it fear of being “wrong”, like most of us were with the Wii?

Sites like 1UP depend on ad revenue from MS, so I wouldn’t expect much from them, but NO ONE has spoken on how Kinect has more or less failed to live up to expectations.

Specifically, I would like to hear this site’s staff on the subject (Why no one wants to talk about the core’s reaction and how it will effect Kinect, not Kinect itself). When can we expect another podcast?

Now I’m just confused.

The right hand apparently doesn’t know what the left hand is doing in this instance.

So those who were still interested in this? It’s apparently still in production. Chalk it up to miscommunication or something.

You wouldn’t understand because you didn’t come back from M$ press conference with a free slim Xbox360 in your hands. Don’t judge the press please!
