Umm, yeah this is almost SCARY about how much technology has advanced. If this works out like it SHOULD (*cough* not like Lifeline *cough*) then this would be a milestone in video gaming.

To me this seems like a gigantic version of "Hey you Pikachu!", only there is no Pokemon, and the person you talk to is a boy named Milo. In this "game" (if that's what you want to call it

) you basiclly talk to this British kid named Milo. According to the video, Milo can sense emotions and actions. He's meant to be "a virtual human"

So what do I think of this? Well first off this game seems targated towards those who need a friend (real or not real). I just can't wait to spend a whole Saturday afternoon hanging out with Milo! Really anyone that owns an Xbox 360 probably has GTA4, Halo 3, Burnout: Paradise, etc. and these all have Xbox Live so you can hang out with REAL people. Instead of Milo. This also seems like it will need a HDTV (which I don't have).

I can already see some of the conversations with Milo...

WoW Nerd- Hey, Milo. I just pwned this noob in World of Warcraft!!
Milo- Sorry I can't say that due to copyrights.

Pervert- Hey Milo! Ya wanna come to my house and do some uhh stuff?
Milo- Sir, you need to get a life.

Depressed Person- Life sucks.
Milo- It even sucks more if your only friend is in a video game and isn't real!

Anyway this seems like if it can be pulled of, Microsoft would have a huge advantage over the Wii and PS3.
So, what are your thoughs on this?

Wooooah night night Wiimote!
Haha, trust Billy Gates to go one better.

That looks friggin phenomenal.

Also, I'd hit that.

 

[Jim Morrison]

TBH this looks ****ing awesome. I'm not gonna bash this at all. I was amazed.

 

[Teran]

I expect no less of Molnyeux, the creator of Fable, my favourite Xbox game.

I'm impressed with it, but the fact that the XBox community consists of elite 13 year old FPS fans who hate everything that doesn't involve guns means it may not sell well.

Imagine the stereotypical kid on XBox live playing that game=

Kid= I'm gonna own you you *beep*ing *beep*er!
Milo= Pardon?
Kid= I'll teabag you face you *beep*.
Milo= You don't sound happy.
Kid= Get back on Nintencrap you casual *beep* and let me get my trophies.

 

[Teran]

If Milo is a true British kid, he'd rip ****ers like that apart.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Milo isn't british obviously.
Milo is an americant

Imagine the stereotypical kid on XBox live playing that game=

Kid= I'm gonna own you you *beep*ing *beep*er!
Milo= Pardon?
Kid= I'll teabag you face you *beep*.
Milo= You don't sound happy.
Kid= Get back on Nintencrap you casual *beep* and let me get my trophies.

Also, I see this happening. 13 year olds making vids of themselves with their high voices making a stupid intro of them saying 'hi im dylan anad im gunna piss of mIlO!1'

Then their 13 year olds friends are laughing their ***** off.

I just died a bit on the inside.

Right here is the reason this should be on the Wii on PS3...

That's just cynical fanboy elitism.
I'm a 360 owner and can safely say this whole notion is false.

If Milo was a real British kid he'd be on the next episode of Crimewatch on BBC .

 

[ndayday]

Poor Milo is going to be so abused.

Come here Milo, let's play a grown ups' game! c:

 

[Xivii]

Yeah this is pretty amazing, much better than that PS2 eye toy made way back when. 0.o

 

[Frown]

Poor Milo is going to be so abused.

"Milo, I think people pretend they like you."

"Milo, will you answer 'No' to this question?"

"Milo, why did you watch me masturbate yesterday?"
