Do you think Project milo is going to be successful?[ it's a poll,vote now!]

If you ask me, this project is ambitious. VERY ambitious. I doubt peter will be able to fullfill all of his promise. this game looks like a 3000 A.D. project rather than 2000 A.D. project. it's nearly unbelievable. that was my opinion. and another thing too. Don't ask me why did I post this in PC and mac forum. I want to know the opinion of PC gamers about this project.

You mean Project Natal? Maybe, depending on the support it gets from 3rd parties. From a hardcore gamer's standpoint, no, probably not.

Edit: Fixed Misspelling

It seems very gimmicky and aimed at casuals, which is fine. I don't think it will be successful though, they will be stepping away from there core market of normal to hardcore gamers. That's assuming that it actually works on those really simple levels they've shown, which I still have serious doubts about. As a pc gamer I have 0 interest in changing my control scheme.

There's nothing unbelievable about Milo and Kate (that's the name of the game), it's just an adventure/RPG game.

I think Project Milo will be the next big thing when it comes out, but once that shock and awe factor is gone people won't have much to talk about. As for Natal itself, I think it will do fine. I don't see any legendary games coming out of it, maybe some really fun arcade games. It'll be cool to see how it unfolds.

No. To be honest it strikes me as a gimmic more than anything. The tech looks impressive but im not sure how useful or fun it would be. I guess we'll have to see more concrete examples of just what can done with the system.

I would say yes but not actually when it comes to gaming. Seems like something that would work well for public services like airports, having some kind of interactive information support or things like that.

I have a question about this Milo. does he understand everything? I mean even if someone swears at him? It's impossible for a virtual character to understand every sense and word of humans. surely there must be some restrictions.

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"] Agreed. Like I've said before: he could sell someone a used toothpick if he wanted to. Some people still haven't forgiven him for Black and White! Kudos to him if Natal is real - but I'll believe it when I see it...jimmyjammer69

They use different colours for each platform, actually:P For previews, reviews or articles related to the 360, they use green. For PC it's orange, PS3 is blue and so on.

*EDIT* I just typed "Eurogamer bias" into Google and guess which platform and company came up...

Project Milo? no , Project Natal? maybe . We'll see if Microsoft manages to make it fun.dannenissan2

Watching the Project Natal video, I can't imagine wanting to play a shooter like that. Or even worse, playing a racing game with an air "pretend" wheel -- which of course won't have any force feedback or rumble.

To me, it just seems like there's much more immersiveness and sense of realism using tactile controls, not to mention better responsiveness, precision, and opportunity for feedback. It could be cool for some things though, and I'm sure there's an audience that will find it highly appealing.

Although on a more advanced scale, Milo kind of reminds me of the type of player interaction we had with Seaman for the Dreamcast. I bought that game, and while it was interesting to check out, I ended up never actually "playing" it. So yeah, personally I don't see much appeal with Milo, but there will certainly be an audience for it, and who knows, maybe they will be able to something really fun with it.

As with the Wii, these types of innovations/advances are making gaming accessible and attractive to more people than ever before. And even if it's not the way the rest of us would like to play the majority of the time, it at least brings us alternatives. This type of interaction will be great for "party" games with friends and family together for example.

Basically, once this technology gets developed through the next few years, it's the only thing fat kids will need: it pretty much replaces any need for friends. While you've got to move around and really "interact," I don't find this really "fun" at all. I think when this tech gets into games, it's going to be TOO interactive. I mean the point of games (at least for me) is to relax for an hour or two and unstress my mind. Something like this seems only designed for people without a life.

That said, it is incredible tech and I can't wait to see how it's implemented into real games.
