IGN shows us Milo's future
77
Concept and execution are two totally different worlds. Although the concept and initial presentation of Lionhead Studios' Milo blew everyone away at E3 2009, what does fate have in store for the little digital boy's longterm execution? IGN attempts to answer that question in a little sketch they put together. We all know Milo will lose his innocence once he's in the hands of normal people, but just how bad will it become? Check out the video after the break.

I WISH!!!
the real milo will only understand: "Hello" and "What time is it."
The latter will only be possible because of the internal clock (he has no concept of time).

"' Milo blew everyone away at E3 2009"..
No only the dumb/deluded/paidoff press off press that couldn't see how faked it was. It was 60% prerecorded and 40% "live" with faked responsed by a bloke out back.
How Microsoft got away with deceiving so many people, and Sony got strung up so badly for KZ2 @ E3 2005 is anyones guess. Actually, it's not a guess at all, we all know the agenda here, American press, American console, can do no wrong, even with a 50% failure rate and crappy chargable P2P online service, the American press somehow still defend Xbox.
Pathetic. Not nearly as pathetic as the people that can't see through the sham that's being offered up here.

Isn't that what Virtual Intelligence is supposed to be,trickery to make us think it is a real person.
Also i think Justin said it best, it was like a broken time machine,they invented a time machine, but it took them to the wrong time period.
Not marketable yet, but it can be.

Ah, so it appears someone wasn't around during the previous gen when the XBox was first introduced. Or you're just utterly blind and have a high desire to be a troll.

I got what IGN were trying to do... Not really funny though..
@deeznuts,
actually most video game sites got to play with it and molineux even admitted to it being fake and a lot of them noted that there was a guy behind the scenes controlling him..
But yes Milo is real, Microsoft have out done them selves they actually managed to perfect AI, what so many developers & robotics experts in the world are working on, Microsoft has managed to do on a games console no less..
From os' that bsod (hidden with a reboot now) to games consoles that rrod with appalling fail rates (+68% in their own test runs 32 out of 100 would pass which means 68 would fail straight from production) http://games.slashdot.org/games/08/09/06/0010219.shtml to demos of a somewhat broken motion detection system, to perfecting AI..
You are absolutely right MS has perfected AI and his name is Milo, oh and Pigs have been spotted flying ..

Somehow I read that headline as "IGN shows us Milo's failure." Anyways, that's really really creepy. Epic. But creepy.

Yeah I agree. It was a good concept but the execution just wasn't there. Seems like they just threw this skit together at the last minute.
I guess if someone is stoned if was probably funny ...
I think InFamous is pretty good ... I guess when you have unreasonably high standards everything sucks.

I laugh at all the cheap trailertrash with their Walmart helper jobs that call themselves gamers but don't own a PS3 and spend their lives convincing themselves that settling for Xbox second best is somehow great.

Resize the picture to something small and proportional (78x78) and it should stick. I've changed my avatar probably 10-15 times ... it still randomly reverts to an older avatar but usually sticks.

That's another video reminder why I've got an aversion to IGN. I didn't think they can hit further bottom with their elitist juvenile deliquesce. The lines between IGN, classless porn and some vulgar fat nerds (you know who I'm talking about) are thinning to void. I was almost surprised they didn't edit in sexual penetration or at the very least show the guy act like he bangs her -- I mean, really, the F bombs, "I so wanna getting laid" and "Oh it's so big" being thrown so loosely in this video, squarely shit on any sentinel being with a bit of decency in this universe.
While I welcome hot chicks to showcase games, this is absolute trash. It makes me physically ill that it has so much recognition as one of the best gaming sites around.

Love it when virgin nerds boast in the internet like they are Ron Jeremy or something.
A known game site hostess, that periodically appears on Xbox LIVE, goes in a video "I really need to get laid" and reacts to a cock with "oh it's so big" -- pretty much makes my case in point of how IGN is extremely classless.
IGN should seriously consider opening a section devoted to cheap porn, so Hilary and all his associate editorial nerds can pimp horny nerds like you two. The already have "IGN Insiders"

I don't have a problem with them being vulgar or classless so long as it's funny. This just wasn't that funny.
Go watch something like Eastbound and Down on HBO if you want to see hilarious comedy that both genius and vulgar. It's probably the funniest show ever made and it's first season only had 6 episodes.
Danny McBride = Comedic Genius.
Foot Fist Way ,Eastbound and Down, Land Of The Lost remake, Observe and report, Tropic Thunder ... There is lots of fantastic comedy out there thats completely classless but still manages to be brilliant at the same time.
This little IGN video was pretty much unfunny and uninspired. The concept had potential but the execution and acting was just downright pitiful.

Is Price and Fury just mad because no one has ever used the "It's so big" line in reaction to his cock?

Agreed.
I still can't stand IGN for many of these cheap ass low class vids.
I don't mind seeing Jessica dancing and all, but I wasn't surprised IGN had her say "I need to get laid", to keep their teenage populace from fapping to real porn sites.

It's just comedy dude... nothing serious. And you clearly follow IGN if you know half of the names of all the editorial staff... IGN never acts serious in there videos or podcasts.. but it's not like it shows in their journalism. There podcasts are only 45 minutes long because there reviews are about 15 paragraphs long.
Don't take that stuff seriously... seriously...

That was hilarious. I wonder how many different settings will be included with Milo, or will he forever live at the pond.

LMAO, I cant wait to see if someone actually scans in beer and cigarettes into the real Milo game, if it does ever come out.... Until then, I'll be playing with my Eyepet until then. Who's a good monkey?! Who's a good monkey!? you are! here's a pipe!
