Slightly creepy virtual child ‘Milo,’ is a tech demo rather than a game and will not be released.This was the news from Microsoft bigwig Aaron Greenberg who was speaking to ABC TV’s Good Game,
“Milo, he’s safe and sound back in England. No… the Milo Project is something that Lionhead Studios in their labs had developed. Last year we unveiled the Project Natal technology, we showed a bunch of technology demos as part of that. 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.”
Confusing news, especially when Peter Molyneux is still enthusing about how he can not wait to show off Milo as a fully playable game. Commenting on the lack of anything Milo shaped at E3 he said,
“I promise you it is now ten times more amazing than you’d expect it to be from what you saw at [E3 2009], because what I showed in Milo then was just a tech demo. I think every one asked: ‘That was pretty fascinating, but what does it all mean?’
“It’s only when you see it in its entirety and play it that you realise it’s robust enough for people to play on their own.”
Peter thinks Milo is a game, Microsoft think it’s a never to be released tech demo.

Not a game but a demo, that’s funny because I think most people thought it was a recorded video

yeah, it was a “product vision” like their trailer…..meaning it wasn’t real, it was showing what they wanted to achieve…..but they failed.
i cant wait until it comes out and the games suck and dont even work properly.

To scary to be real…..

‘That was pretty fascinating, but what does it all mean?’
It’s been a year, Peter, and we’re still asking the same f***ing question. You are pathetic, Mr. Molyneck. Go away.

wow, talk about getting your story straight!
does any one person in the MS world know what is actually going on with their whole motion control gameplay stuff in entirety?

It was a creepy idea anyway.

I’d sort of assumed Milo had been adapted into the cat game. It looks similar tech, but way less creepy.

Creepy if nothing else….

Possibly Kinect wasn’t up to doing what was promised by the milo video(Which is what it was) last year?
Molyneaux once again hyping something that comes to nothing then.

I think they realised by the tech video that it would be the most pointless crap going, I think Lionhead were all on crack when they came up with this crap

LOL do all people in the game industry have to contradict themselves?
