Soo..... Molyneux created a young boy simulator?

Um. So whos the intended market for this. Really lonely people? Ugh imagine the immersive and depressing possibilities for dating games.  How isolated are individual members of the human race that we need a creepily realistic friend simulator. Do you think think this would be weirder/the same if it was a girl character?

This isn't going to be a game...it's just a tech demo.

haven't heard of it, link would be appriciated.

It's the new R.O.B.

As a tech demo, I doubt this will ever come to market. But as a technology, I can see this being a huge part of interactive in-game cut scenes. I wouldnt want to play an entire action or RPG doing gestures, but I could see this being awesome at certain points in a game.

I don't trust Molyneaux worth shit. I can guarantee this isn't as advanced as he's making it out to be because there is no way in hell a video game developer made advanced AI before scientists.

I just want to so what repose you get when you shout swear words at it

Who cares about Milo, I want the developers of RapeLay to get their hands on this technology.

There should be a Peter Molyneux simulator, where you give him a dog and he has to explain the storytelling mechanics of it on the fly to a conference hall full of people.

I post about the dog too much.

Funny, even NASA can't manage the kind of AI Lionhead are insinuating here.

It's a tech demo...
But that is kind of funny when  you say it like that, considering you know...peter m is kind of....

Everything about it except for the ripple effects was pure video, with Claire acting on cues.  The fish didn't even react.

Creepy...... now he'll start a company called Cyberdyne, program his AI into the military's computer network and.... oh wait

But I can see him getting passionate about this

RapeLay?  What?

.....I am not staying up with the E3 news (I am at work, and I want to watch the G4 coverage tonight when I get home), but this thread title made me laugh hysterically!  Why?  Because I can see Molyneux doing this and then saying "This will be the best game ever."

I want someone to make him realize he isn't real.

I know it was a staged tech demo, but it was still impressive.

This was obviously scripted. But Peter probably thinks its the best thing ever, and will (once again) make promises that will be under delivered to the surprise of no one but himself. I think I would have preferred another Black and White or Dungeon Keeper.

The audio was obviously pre-recorded, but the rest was running dynamicly as far as I can tell.

Um tech demo? Science experiment? maybe a lil paper to other developers on look what i did and how i did it now lets see what you can do?
IT really doesn't matter what Peter created is amazing on a home system hes created a person simulation with advanced AI it can responde to you in a realistic way.....thats amazing and on a home video game system...

The program was scripted just because there probably aren't enough responses created for Milo yet. I'm kind of peeved that it's only going to be demoed behind closed doors, because while it wouldn't work nearly as well with a random person, I want to see just how deep it is.

FINALLY I WILL HAVE A FRIEND!!!!!

Its just a tech demo but I'm very exited to see this technology in games for the future, we are getting one step closer to the holodeck! ^w^

I can't wait to have my first AI girlfriend.
That's better than having a blue alien girlfriend.

It's probably just a tech demo. I think something that would be really cool is if they integrated it into cutscenes, as other people stated. You could be sitting there watching it and your teammates would look at you and ask for your opinion, with which you could give yours and they would react accordingly.

i cant help but think that Microsoft wouldnt make it there "top thing" at E3 if there wasnt something "real" about it

also steve spielberg is excited by it too .

maybe it is real - oh man if it was ... fuck ... amazing

How is this any different than having The Sims 3 act as a "life simulator"?

So its important to remember that it was PETER MOLYNEUX! Hes the king of bullshit over-exaggeration. But it is still a very interesting thing, when she handed the page to spooky kid, that was pretty interesting =P I wonder if there was anything on the page he was holding? That would be really cool! Considering he said he has only had the tech in house for a few months, i really doubt its as sophisticated as they made it look, if it was really as great as it appeared, then they probably would have done a live demo of it.
 Also, Milo used the girls name, the ability to speak words that arent preprogrammed is a really expensive and difficult technology currently, and I doubt they could have developed all that already. I like the idea a lot, but I will not be fooled by molyneux ever again, not after fable 2! Damn him to hell!

MS has AI far better than the governments of our world. 

Peter Molyneux would never lie to gamers. 

I believe.

Man how much longer before that Rubber Ducky game comes out for PS3?
