    @Olivaw:
    I agree. I wonder if anyone there actually gave a shit. I would love to hear molyneux talk about his regular game design philosophies, but this just seems completely uninteresting.

    Charlie Brooker sums up my thoughts pretty succinctly.

    you forgot to mention that molyneux mentioned the game gets dark in the later stages.
     
    presumably when he hits the "emo" phase.

    I want to 'play' with Kate not a little boy.

    But seriously i would prefer if they didn't use a human, it just looks weird.

    Even hollywood can't create CGI humans that doesn't look freaky/ weird.

    I can't see the benefit to this at all, in theory it's a good idea. But a 12yr old boy or girl? it's just wrong.
     
    Age them both to 21 and turn it into a dating sim, he'd make millions.
     
    Edit: wait Kate's a dog? this just gets more weird.

    Normally TED conferences make their way online, so no doubt we will be able to watch this demonstration some time on the near future. I'm still interested in how this can be developed.

    So is this suppose to be some Kinect version of Tamagotchi? That's the impression I'm getting of being in charge of digital " pet ", wonder if maybe you can give him a gun and have him shoot up the place. Possibilities of evil misdeeds could be endless.

    I'm on board if only for the novelty. Plus, while Molyneux may not always live up to his own hype, he always comes up with something interesting.

    Given Molyneux's long history of undelivered promises (going all the way back to Black and White), I suspect the thing only looks impressive when the person demoing the game knows exactly what to say and do. I doubt it really functions as a game. Still, it's an interesting idea. But an interesting idea isn't enough. I just remember thinking that Molyneux's ideas for Fable 2 (getting married and having a family, etc) were interesting. But the result was wooing a wife in a few minutes by making fart noises.
     
    Promises mean nothing. I need to see real footage of it being played by someone who hasn't been coached before I believe it's anything but a glorified tech demo.

    The first video can not not have been scripted. If it wasn't scripted then it means the kid doing Milo's voice has read out each word in a dictionary multiple times (with different intonations). That's next to impossible and would require an IMMENSE budget

    Calling it "a Milo" makes it even creepier sounding.

    Add a virtual version of Molyneux himself and I'm sold.
