After Fable 1 was a disappointment and Fable 2 was just a huge pile of garbage, I don't understand why this guy is taken seriously anymore.

Aww, dissapointing really, recognizing the tone of voice rather than words and giving general answers that suit any question is not what people were hyped for.

The idea that this is even news is staggering. Milo was obviously just proof-of-concept work designed to say "this is what the future of Natal/gaming is". If you thought Milo was even remotely "real", I'd suggest you go start up a conversation with SmarterChild or call an automated 1-800 number.

Agreed. I love Molyneux and his games. He really is a nice guy that just goes overboard sometimes. No need to throw around immature insults, fella's.

Yes. There was nothing wrong with what I typed. If you didn't like it fine, that's your deal. But the game is being supported and the DLC is fun.

His games have gone downhill since Black and White 1 & 2. Anything after Black and White 2 has just been...average. IMO of course.

Maybe absolute garbage is a bit harsh, I mean I pretty much knew I would hate the game before playing, and went ahead and played anyway. I really can't stand it, though I suppose it just wasn't made with me in mind.

It's not like Milo is going to be fun. It's pretty much a Natal tech demo. Who wants to sit in there living room alone at night and talk to a virtual boy? Natal has more potential than this. Even if it does look bad and doesn't do everything they're saying, it's not even out yet. I'll wait and judge for myself when they've had more time to perfect it.

The sad thing is that every or almost every lemming was claming ownage over the Milo demo, which means SmarterChild is going to be busy for the next month.

This is pretty much what I'm thinking. Fable was meh(the lost chapters was slightly better) and Fable 2 felt very stale when it came to the story and presentation.

I won't call Peter Molyneux as a father of all lies. That's too extreme. However, I would put Peter Molyneux in the Guiness Book of Record for making the highest exaggerating form of hype for a game, Fable. He hyped "Fable" to be the "best RPG game ever made," and it turned out not so spectacular. What's even worst is that lemming during that time believed him and even use it as bragging right against PS2 and Gamecube. That is why I'm not suprise at Milo as not so much what it was crack up to be. This is Peter Molyneux were are talking about, the world record holder for the most exaggeratingly hyping his own game.

Is just that gamers are more smarter and aware of Peter Molyneux hype nowadays. I laugh hard when some lemming took seriously and brag about Milo to proclaim ownage of the Wii. I feel it's like Dejavu were lemmings are taking Fable to be the best RPG ever as Peter proclaimed, and end up with lemming under intensive damage control.

Half the people that bash Peter M don't even play his games. Let alone know what he supposedly lied about. Maybe he should have said his game would be in 4D and running a 120 FPS.

I played Fable, and it was a good game and I give it an 8.5 same as Gamespot. But that is not the point.

You are trying to avoid the issue. Sony bragging about 4D and 120 FPS is a bad lie but it's not hyped to be "the best ever," in any form.

Peter M., hyped Fable to the point that he declared that FABLE, before its released will be the "best RPG ever made."

These isa difference between bragging what you will have (regardless if you have it or not) and bragging that you are the best of the best.

WAIT. So declaring your machine capable of doing something scientifically impossible is ok, but bragging about your game and saying it's going to be the best, is a terrible, terrible lie?

Are you kidding me? Seriously, dude?

Neither lies are okay. The reason I put Peter Molyneux on the top because his lie regarding Fable to be the best RPG ever is like Sony declaring that PS3 will be the market leader (although analyst said so before LOL). PS3 saying that they have 4D and 120FPS, can be compared to Microsoft was saying before that X360 RROD are minimal (which is not the case) until it became a grave concern. Both Sony and Microsoft and perhaps Nintendo lied. But neither of those three claimed that they will be on top to be the best ever. Imagine if Microsoft declared that they will be the marker leader on this gen before it was over. You imagine how grave that is?

This is like the fourth topic that I seen today about this. :|

Peter Molyneux explained in an interview that there is some smoke and mirrors going on or something like that. From what IGN and Eurogamer said about it is they like the concept of it. I take their word over some random bloger who didn't play it (maybe mad they did not get to go to E3)

Peter Molyneux is always exaggerating when it comes to A.I.

Anyone with programming experience could tell you in an instant that most of the things being told by Peter in the demo were just a cheap way to sell people on the technology. I don't dislike Peter though. After reading that article and seeing how he admitted it was Microsoft's idea to make the project seem more amazing than it is, it just reminds me of how cheap the company is. Don't take me seriously when I say this, god only knows we don't need another console vs console thread...

Well.. at least NATAL could lead to interactive porn :roll:

Just because he might be one of the best developers in gaming doesn't mean that he also can't be one of the worst liars.

You could argue that Ken Kutaragi was up there with 4D and 120FPS but that was stupidity and not overhyping.

i love it how everyone keeps saying milo's fake by posting the same link over and over again while ignoring IGN and Eurogamer, am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy in it?
