Support NeoGAF

[voltron]

I have no idea what to expect or how this will be implemented, and neither does anyone else.

But first impression is holy god that is fucking impressive.

Stop being so negative you fucks. Where you think you are? GAF? bah

Peter Molyneux IS an AI construct and I claim my Five Pounds.

 

[Femmeworth]

Is he always so full of himself?

Yep next question

 

[soco]

where the fuck is all this AI talk coming from?

most of what Molyneux was talking about had nothing to do with AI. it was just about changing the way we interact with the game. i just watched again and didn't even hear him mention AI once (though even if he had, it's still honestly light years better than it was 20 years ago so i don't see the problem).

 

[Ramenman]

I find it odd that what they're pumping in this vid is the voice/emotion/facial/writing reconnaissance (which is impressive, sure), while imo the hardest thing to do would be getting the boy to react properly, as it is with any AI chatter.

Anyway, to get rid of the AI problem, just make it a dog or some other kind of creature. It's clearly enough and would sell to anyone.

 

[voltron]

Actually I think its fairly obvious how this will be implemented....

It will reside on the dashboard and we will interact with a character whenever we turn the system on. Personally, Id rather a dog than boy, but thats just me.

 

[Karma Kramer]

I see this more as something that will be implemented in an RPG (like Fable) and you will be able to actually interact with character (like Milo)...

That's all that this was about... whether they can get the AI to be smart enough will just depend on if technology is there yet... but the actual concept is fucking brilliant.

People here just love to hate on Peter, even though every single game he has made has been good.

From Molyneux's Twitter:

now for the behind closed doors demos where people can actually meet Milo
Now at last I can start talking about Milo (which of corse was called Dimitri)
Milo is a game btw
Back in my hotel room, about to start the behind closed doors. I am really looking fwd to jorno's meeting Milo and seeing the tech
Milo is emotionall AI based
wow thanks everyone for your comments. Just to be clear milo is based on. Emotional Ai and what we have shown is a small slice of what he is

[Femmeworth]

Yep next question

:lol I remember hearing his ridiculous statements about what the first Fable would have been.

 

[Jon]

SKYNET IS LIVE. I really can't believe this thing. I have to see it for myself.

 

[Darkpen]

Milo, take off your pants

>Yeah I love da plants

No Milo your pants

>My pants?

Yes

>w-why

JUST FUCKING DO IT

>You're scaring me!

RAARGHH

>AAAHHHH

:lol :lol

 

[Davidion]

This is akin to making a good sandwich and selling it like a meal fit for a king.

 

[SovanJedi]

Wait. Something about the direction Milo looks off screen bugs me.

Surely he would be looking at the person directly through the screen no matter where they were in the room, not to the side like that? That would only happen in a real life environment.

This is like those cartoon episodes where the person's face is altered in perspective to look as though they are actually standing there when in fact it'd just be their face full-on.

 

[voltron]

Milo is a game? WTF.

 

[OwlBoy]

 

[QuickSilverGunk]

Wonder how many jokes it can tell until it starts repeating itself. :lol

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Messing with that kid and then youtubing it will be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

And he will shriek each time a pedo turns on his 360.lol

Pedo killer app confirmed.

 

[Raist]

Wonder how many jokes it can tell until it starts repeating itself. :lol

Probably 6. 10 at best. We're talking about Mythoneux here.

 

[Timber]

Looks very interesting. Of course, how it will actually pan out when you play it/interact with it remains to be seen, but it's an intriguing concept. Molyneux is too good for you mindless internet drones.

 

[todahawk]

RAARGHH

You may be joking but the pedos will line up for an app like that DAY1.

And a lot of people struggle with their day to day relationships, I can't say we're ready to tackle that level of interaction in a game.

"Why can't you be more like Milo, son?"

They need to turn Milo into a hot asian chick, and sell this to lonely japanese & lonely animu americans. Microsoft might finally sell some consoles in japan. :lol

 

[Darkpen]

This reminds me of that A.I. thing that Spielberg was trying to make with an EA team. Too bad that went to the can. I would have preferred a sexy female robot over a boy :/

 

[TimeLike]

Wonder how many jokes it can tell until it starts repeating itself. :lol

How many can YOU tell before repeating yourself?

 

[2real4tv]

Would of been nice if modeled a nice looking female actor/model

 

[AndyD]

creepiest motherfucking thing ever

Came to post this. Weird. They should have done a creature of some sort. Like Sony's Eyepet, where its the same interactions but with a cute creature not a creepy looking humanoid.

Answered on his twitter it seems.
it's all about emotional AI.

Anyway, I don't see why anyone would want this, but I suppose that's just me.

 

[teiresias]

I really wanted that proper British chick, with her proper accent say something like, "Milo, I really should have late-term aborted you."

I swear, Molyneux is the most annoying egocentric guy that's ever been given stage time.

 

[Buckethead]

Milo is a game sponsored by Dateline to Catch Predators.

Pedo: "Take off those pants, Milo"

("PHOTO CAPTURED. VOICE RECOGNIZED". Recording and sending to local police)

 

[bigmit3737]

That just seems wayyy to scripted.

I don't believe this hype.

 

[Dan]

Even if all of that was unscripted, I'm not sure where the fun would come into play. Why would I want to spend my time with this?

[Lion Heart]

One of the only things I didn't like about the conference. Bahh, I've really begun to hate Peter M.

 

[McLovin]

This gives me the same feeling I got when I saw AI for the first time. It creeps me the fuck out.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Even if all of that was unscripted, I'm not sure where the fun would come into play. Why would I want to spend my time with this?

Which is why I question why it was a child. Why would I wand to spend time with a virtual child? As an adult, I would rather it be a woman with large breasts. If I was a kid, I would definitely want some kinda robot or pet monster to talk to (maybe I still do).

 

[Saint Gregory]

Three and a half hours and no Pedobear gifs? I'm so disappointed GAF *shakes head*

 

[ShockingAlberto]

That just seems wayyy to scripted.

I don't believe this hype.

It is Molyneux. Anyone who believes this, whether it bears fruit or not, deserves to be fooled.

 

[MisterSINISTER]

if it does turn out to be scripted can we get a federal mandate to stop mr. molyneux from ever talking about games again?

 

[vas_a_morir]

Gaf is so cynical. For shame. Normal people don't immediately be thinking of pedo scenarios when the see a young boy.

 

[GashPrex]

From Molyneux's Twitter:

http://twitter.com/pmolyneux

i knew it was dimtri - they been working on this since before publishing fable 1. Funny how pessimistic everybody is - least some people in the industry try to move forward

 

[RevenantKioku]

I think what bothers me is the idea of making a product out of it. Research is great and quite necessary but I can't believe Molyneux holds to the rigors of science. I'm sure great AI will come in time and it will have amazing uses. I just don't see this causing any great leaps for the field.

 

[senahorse]

Milo, you're a videogame, not a real boy.

*Milo slowly walks into lake, never comes up for air*

:lol I can't wait for the time that AI is this complex.

 

[WarLox]

hey guys.. whats going on in here ?

 

[DrBo42]

:lol I completely forgot about that one. Did that ever end up being made?

EXACTLY... have lovable FLY, BEE, ANT... not even an dog... what the fuck happens if you dont cook dinner for it? its way,way too creepy. Of course its cool... still creepy though.


and p.s. whats up with him claiming that what they are doing wasnt even imaginable in sci-fi? What kind of sci-fi is he reading? I am vivid sci-fi/fantasy reader,probably read several hundred books on the topic, its just funny.

its PETER MOLYNEUX.

perhaps molyneux himself is an AI construct...its just like rachel from blade runner...he thinks hes a real game designer...he actually thinks hes making all of these ground breaking achievements, but really hes just being fed created memories from some science fiction novel that he thinks are his ideas. its kind of sad really

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

This is a brilliant strategy by Microsoft. A couple of H-games with this software and the 360 will crush even the DS in Japan.
