Microsoft's Greenberg recants Milo comments, says game 'in development'

to put it mildly you idiots No Milo no Kinect nothing else matters.

more like creepo

Well they could at least include the Milo Virtual Boy tech demo with each Kinnect X360 attachment. For people to experiment with, Or actually make The Virtual Boy the official MS Kinnect Mascot. Release a bunch of Kinnect Ad for Television and Internet. On how the Microsoft Virtual boy "Milo" does suck like Nintendo's Virtual Boy did.. Then have Milo and The Kinnect Animals Urinate on a Nintendo Virtual boy and a Nintendo 3DS. End the ad with a screen shoot of a Tripal coiler steaming in the hallway and the sound of a flushing toilet. Fading to black with the Xbox logo..

i mean they are trying to delete the real world, this isnt funny anymore, lol as much as you want but kids in the future will use things like these

it's still kinda wild at how much technology grew since the vitual boy though.. I would EASILY buy the kinect if I had that kind of spare cash

Sorta reminds me of the Dreamcast game Seaman (pause for snickers). Only in HD and more creepy.

They finally figure it out that gamer won't gonna waste spending their times with a boring weird virtual kid.

I think Kinect is great, but does anyone else distinctly remember them saying that it was going to be $84.99? And that Milo was going to be the first released game...And that you could scan your own gear and all game characters in Kinect games would be like Milo, which was nowhere to be seen in the E3 expo? Like for real, Microsoft needs to stop screwin with us

I think if I buy Kinect near launch, I will buy it used or buy it new on ebay. $150 for a motion camera is too much, especially since they seem to not have any good titles at launch. I could buy two DS's on ebay for that price.

this is one of the only current kinect games that i want to see in person.

I hopw they will launch it commercial. I can't wait to kill Milo.

Children are advanced technology!

Milo is Skynet!!!! Sarah Conor warned us. It wasn't scientist that destroy the world. It will be gamers!!!

Honestly I was never too interested into Milo. First is no matter how advanced technology has come it's still lightyears from making a character that has the level of interactivness one would get with a real person. Programmers no matter how much time they have they can never cover even a fraction of all the diverse responses that a person could come up with. Anyone who used to play old DOS floppy disk adventure games knows... [you wake up in a dark room with a window and a door...] "look out window" [what is "look"?] "fine... Open door" [what is door?] "heck with this... Go back to sleep" Plus I always thought there was something a little To Catch A Predator about Milo.

here today, ready for repairs tomorrow! you go Microslop!!!

laughs. I really would have been more interested in some Kinect Fable 3 integration .i have a speech impediment so i doubt i would be able to use Milo effectively One of the people at the Fable 3 booth said something about Milo so thus i assume its still being worked on.. just for some odd reason wasnt shown at E3...go figure.

"What I meant by it 'only being a tech demo' is that truly I have no idea what I'm talking about." -Greenberg

I think it's fairly common knowledge that the Milo demo was canned and not representative of an actual product or even the capabilities of Natal. As for Lionhead Studios, I wrote them off years ago when I realized that Peter Molyneux told several bald-faced lies concerning the game Black & White. It was around this same time that many disenchanted customers started referring to the company as "Lyin' Head".

I'd rather have a real kid.

That chick in the red aint bad.

I never expected it to be anything other than a tech demo...or maybe something that came for free with the Kinect. I honestly couldn't fathom spending money to obtain a virtual child. The Milo thing shows a lot of the capabilities of Kinect, but unless they build a lot onto it, those capabilities would be better used in an actual game in my opinion (like if in Fable, you could go into a thing when interacting with people where you can actually interact with characters in the same way you interact with Milo).

@AngelCage-2 I don't blame you, but unlike a lot of people I see potential in something new and wonderful. It's a pretty standard reaction to feel negatively toward the unfamiliar. I'm sure a lot of old people recoiled at the thought of TV. More recoiled at the though of computers. People still, to this day, recoil at anything game-related. It's natural.

Am i the only one who is really damned tired about kinect gossip? Bring us Black & White for kinect and then i will consider listening!

...Let's see: Virtual Pet? Nah, i have a real cat (wich is reckless, wild and brutal as a tigger or something) and a real Rottie wich is an awesome pet... i'll pass on that. Then there's the virtual dumb friend... I have real friends, so i think i'll pass on that too and then.... oh, that was all about kinect, I really don't get the whole motion sensing thingie, don't like it at all

i wonder if you could make it a girl. then what could you do with it?? wink wink nudge nudge say no more say no more

@Recboy, Yeah. If Milo starts eying the "Doki Doki! Majo Shinpan!" box I keep next to my TV, we're going to have problems.

@IceJester45 Damn!,I got one of those.:(

@Recboy, He will if your girlfriend is fake.

@IceJester45 "I'm not buying Milo. I don't need a fake friend." Fake friends are the best friends, at least Milo won't try to plow your girlfriend.

I'm not dissapointed at all, I probably wouldn't buy kinect if it had Milo in it. But this is a neat idea if you could actually take this virtual person into a video game with you. I can see it now... Resident Evil: *simultaneous screaming* OMG ZOMBIES!!!!

He has a future in politics.

thats because the first demo of milo was all fake, it was just a hype thing. i doubt well ever see milo. who really cares anyways

Umm, sorry MS, you suck at contributing to your little bit of first party that you got.

even if they release it...what's the fun with it?

I'm not buying "Kinectimals." I don't need a fake pet. I'm not buying Milo. I don't need need a fake friend.

LOL, I can barely stand my kids! I play video games to have an escape from those pressures, not to deal with another kid.

@Fusco1980 That's an interesting theory, but why the hell would any government really bother monitoring what you're going when you're in front of the TV? The only useful information is possibly the fact that you're actually in the room doing nothing. Having millions of cameras surveiling millions of couch potatoes hardly sounds like a good idea or use of money/resources.

Milo reminds of A.I. movie main character... a bit stupid and naive

@SuperYeti22 Whatever it is you're smoking, I want it. It must be fantastic.

@SuperYeti22 according to the terminator mythos, judgement day was supposed to happen in august of 1997, then according to terminator 3, sometime in 2004. so we have dodged the bullet. milo, playstation move/eye and everything else will usher in judgement day! our fun will usher in the end of the world! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It is probably best if Milo doesn't make it into stores... now, if he was some kind of intelligent, talking, cute animal we would have a hit on our hands

if the tech demo was NOT staged then it could be amazing to see this technology in future games. it would feel awkward at first but it could be quite good.

Milo should be a sexy girl and not a little boy.

So eventually there will be a "Boy For Sale?" Will he be going cheap?

I think the Milo Tech demo will become something else in the future. Maybe the technology will be used in a new RPG or adventure game by Lionhead. Who knows. I don't think this kind of technology will be thrown away.

This technology looks amazing, but I have to say, it would kinda creepy me out talking to Milo if it was as realistic as it said it was. And anyways, I would rather go hangout with a friend.
