Molyneux’s Project Milo supposedly dead
To be or not to be? That of course is the question surrounding Project Milo, the often talked about Kinect game that featured interaction “like never before seen”. That little tidbit was according to Lionhead’s Peter Molyneaux who is famous for expecting even much more than even we could expect he’d expect from his titles. Yeah, it’s that serious.
Announced at E3 2009, Project Milo was ambitious to say the least. I will admit that it also looked a bit scary. I mean I don’t want some little “real” boy trapped inside my television. I much prefer interacting with living and breathing humans. There are some of you who were looking forward to your very own digital child but it appears you’ll have to wait.
I remember playing with my Seaman fish quite often years ago and Project Milo seemed like a larger progression of that. I was intrigued. But not so much as to play it but to see if Molyneux could live up to at least half of the things he promises usually.

At any rate, according to a few rumors out there the project has been cancelled. Project Milo is Project No Go. Sad? Happy? What say you?

I still think Kinect will succeed and succeed well. There is easy 20 to 30 people on average at the Microsoft store in Denver looking at it and trying it out. Heck I would be willing to hang out at the store and do a survey of how many are buying it. That’s if Microsoft would let me though. Talked to about 20 different people just while I was there on Saturday and about half of them already had it pre-ordered and the others were planning on buying it.
