It looks really different from anything that has come before it, but I feel like we just don't have the technology to do this yet. If we give it 10 years, I think this will be a little more feasible. How many phrases and words will it be able to recognize before we hit the inevitable point of: "I don't know what that means. Want to go fishing?" when you start cussing at it. Still, it looked pretty interesting, and I jumped out of my seat when the paper was instantly passed into the game. It's Peter Molyneux, so obviously he's going to tell us how revolutionary it is going to be, even if it ends up not fully working. However, no matter how it turns out, this is a big milestone in gaming, and for once, Peter really has brought a revolutionary new way to look at and interact with games.

True. I don't think AI technology has reached the point yet where it can intelligently interact with a human outside of a handful of pre-programmed activities. Maybe 10 years, as you say. AI today can be pretty smart, but extremely single minded, even if its a 'learning network'.

All of this was a bit shady for me.. awesome but shady. I liked in natal how the kid holds his skateboard up to a laser beam that scans the room like something out of charlies angels. lmao. I like how in the video all you see is a T.V. Then for the live demo there is this ginormous framed out box around the tv with big gapping holes in them for what im assuming are protype sensors. I liked how when milo threw the ball or whatever it was at the lady peter slipped and said " she how she reached for it.. that wasn't even in the script" I also liked how they refered to it as a vision of the future, and gave us information such as when this is realeased it will work on all past and future 360's. In other words by the time this is out there will be new 360s and the ones your playing on now will be relics...Thanks for halo microsoft, but really this year you have given us nothing.

So like.... How is this gonna transfere into an actual game??? cause you don't want technology without a proper gaming purpose otherwise known as Wii syndrome.

This looks amazing, but this is Lionhead here.
They're FAMOUS for completely blowing their features up to monstrous proportions when they're basically a half truth.

IF this works Lionhead has just built the first program capable of passing the Turing Test.

Milo = young Skynet

Somebody better deal with Molyneux NOW, before he has a chance to destroy humanity.

If this is more than just E3 smoke and mirrors, I dare say it will be something utterly revolutionary and really expand the concept of gaming.

It's not really a demo, though. It was a video. If it were live, it would have been a tech demo.

I'm surprised at the gullibility of a lot of the people here.

looked good enough to me. I'll gladly toss myself in that gullible lot until I see something to contradict why I should believe that it did what it is designed to do.

Milo was annoying. I hope there's an option to make him not sound like a Harry Potter character.

To be honest, Claire was more interesting.

My first thought when I saw this.

I'd prefer a girl one but the technology still looks cool.

For oblivian style games this could awesome. Also for Rock Band or Guitar Hero, the ultimate air guitar.

I am also having trouble at understanding how the regular Xbox live owner would benefit from this system. An imaginary conversation follows:

Milo: Hey John, what are you up to?
John: Whoa awesome, the thing can speak and all!
Milo: I tend to have that impression on people, how was your school today?
J; Eh, boring. Wait, why are we talking about school? I just wanna pwn some nubs in Gears.
M: School's important you know. You should study more.
J: Creeping me out there buddy, please let me play some Gea..
M: I'm a cheeky boy meself, can't we just hang out?
J: Eh..cheeky? What are you, british? Fag! H-how do you know my name anyway?
M: I control your Xbox, I know everything you do and play. You shouldn't play Gears, it's above your age range.
J: Omg...you fu*** Ni**88 Je***ckin***, leave my Xbox alone! I hate you!
M: Don't get upset, I'm running a psychology test on your facial expressions. Don't want me to send an email to your mum telling her about the things you say, do you?
J: N-nno plea..see. Fuuuuckkkk, leave me alone!
M: I need scissors! 61!

Okay..okay I got carried away there. My point...well any 14 year old will be able to do bugger all with that system.
best lolz comment ever

Read it.

Reading it again.

I'll reiterate. We didn't see a tech demo. We saw a video. Please, I've gone over this with about 40 people now. There is a difference.

What Joystiq experienced was a tech demo. What we experienced was not.

Which is what I was commenting on.

The entire problem with this is the application. Great! I can have a conversation with a kid. This is >5< years of development. There is no practical application to be had now, 5 years from now, or this gen.

Is this a piece of tech? A game? If it's a game, great! That's a seriously casual experience. If it's a piece of tech, that's fantastic! 5 years of development for limited responses (read the same Joystiq article) and a single scripted event.

Too much development time for what it is right now. Maybe in 10 years when the tech has advanced and becomes easy to manipulate. As it is now, it's too much work for too little reward to be anything significant.

Which is why I'm pretty :| about it.

Holy wow. This could be pretty damn big as a step forward in video games.

Or it could begin the rise of the machines. You take your pick.

right now ai is at the level of crickets or spiders.
