We saw Peter Molyneux showing off the Kinect title Milo & Kate at E3 2009, but we haven't heard much on the title since. He took Lionhead's newest demo for the title to the TED Global technology event in Oxford to show it off. It was there that he said that this new demo is "ten dimes more amazing" than the one we saw last year.
The demo used an on-stage assistant, which had virtual boy Milo squashing a snail after carefully considering the moral choice. He also taught Milo to skim stones and then helped him clean his room. This whole process was to cheer Milo up as he had just moved to a new home.
I'm sure we'll see some of this demo soon.
I'm hoping for a Milo that develops Tourette syndrome, plays drums with his tongue sticking out, and is a young connoisseur of Japanese porn. We could be like brothers.

Cool... story?
That's a whole dollar!
Also, epictypo.jpg
I'm sorry, I died of boredom after that paragraph. What else happened?
Back on topic, why is Mollywotsit still actively working on Milo? Didn't they recently dismiss it as nothing more but a technical demo?
I understand you want to play with your new toy Pete, but maybe you should concentrate your efforts on implementing it with your games? The wife at home is worried about you. You're spending far too much time in the office as it is.
I wonder what would happen if you continually screamed JASON at him.
P.S. I adblock plus'd that header image.
So goddamn creepy...
10 X 0 = 0
Sorry, I'm not even a Milo/Kinect hater, but that joke just wrote itself :)
Damn technological singularity.
I wonder if you could screw around with Milo.
Example A: Hey Milo, punch that cat in the face.
Example B: Hey Milo, try to bite your ear.
Example C: Hey Milo, can you put on this dress make up on ?
Example D: Hey Milo, pull down your pants.
But a twelve year old boy? wtf?
So far I don't get the point. Especially since you can't make Milo do bad (read: cool) things like talk back to his mom and smoke cigarettes....INSIDE the house.
A creature whose form and mind alike are deep within the recesses of the uncanny valley. That is what Molyneaux and Co. will create, and give the name "Milo."
Sleep tight.
Until now we could only DREAM of diddling virtual boys with Downs.
Molyneux did not say at the TEDGlobal conference that Milo was "ten dimes more amazing" or "ten times more amazing."
Your quoting a story, that is referencing a past story. Molyneux made this quote at E3 when discussing Milo and explaining that Milo was being shown to a private audience.
I don't mind Peter at all, in fact I think he's facinating, and I like his games, but it seems he has a bit of a Michael Jackson complex where he wants to recreate childhood experiences, but as an adult has little understanding of what kids are actually like, aside from how he physically sees kids acting, which is in a whole different world compared to what's going through their heads.
I'm 24, and I could tell you what I was like when I was 8, but I would never be able to tell you what was going through my head.
Peter, what I'm trying to say is...finish work on Fable 3 first, please. :) This is cool and all, but there are better implications for your ideas. You're a smart man who does great things when you're focused.
Really? Do you even try to proofread that crap before you post it on the main page?
Because none of us have ever done anything we are proud of and bigged it up to people.
Wait.....what?
no, that was some guy at MS... Petey-boy come out like the day after and confirmed that milo was NOT just a tech demo
