"I want to introduce a new revolution in storytelling," games designer Peter Molyneux told the audience. He declared that films, television and books were rubbish to him because they do not involve the audience, adding that he wanted to make a character that seemed alive, and that would "look me in the eyes and feel real."

Hmmm...sounds like someone needs to tell this guy about a new invention...we call them video games...also tell him that one of the other things that his firm developed is the XboX360...something designed for nothing but playing games and watching HD-DVDs that you can't get anymore.

"An assistance conducted a demo showing Milo exploring a garden."

[sarcasm]Wow...sounds like a whole lotta fun.[/sarcasm] Unless he found magic mushrooms out there and went on an Alice-in-Wonderland style trip (that I can play), I don't care what he did in the garden!

""His mind is based in the cloud," he told the audience. "As millions of people use it, Milo will get smarter.""

I think everyone involved in this project should have to watch, "The Terminator"...it might make them realize how incredibly stupid an idea this is if it really works.

There are a lot of priests in the country...I am sure they would love watching a boy bend over...but not one who is wearing clothing.

I'll have to go watch the BBC review; I need a laugh after finding out that; even after all the horrible problems and lies; the iPhone4 is still sold out!

[Edit]
I found a couple videos over at BBC, but not the one you describe. I found one where he is river rafting, then he is doing a running game that does not sync properly. I also saw another one where they were testing move, and you could see the reviewer on screen...clearly the move camera caught his movements, yet it ignored them for several seconds before jumping to where he was...

I love my DS3!

I guess it would be nice if the NPCs on the Xbox720 and the PS4 responded in more realistic ways. The only issue is that one Milo is never going to do it...if I am playing a game like GTA6, I am in a city of millions of people, most of whom will see me on the TV news. They all have different lives, and they are all different people. If they can have all these different people responding like real residents, and if all these people can be talked to, robed, bribed, slowly tortured to death with a tooth pick, whatever...that would me a nice feature...but I don't see that happening any time soon.

But am I really alone in fearing this technology? There is no such thing as good tech or bad tech (it is how you use it)...but there are bad corporations, such as the one developing it, and their competitors in the gaming and PC markets. Let me put it this way...if they can make a computer program that simulates a person, then anyone who does their job completely through the phone and the computer will become a waste to be removed...causing mass poverty, and dramatic paycuts for those who still have their jobs...as now there are people lined up for miles to do the job for minimum wage.
