Rumor: Microsoft cancels most interesting Kinect game
The most interesting thing to come out of Microsoft’s E3 demonstration last year may now be cancelled. The game or experience called Project Milo is rumored to be canceled.
If you asked anyone as to what was so fascinating about Kinect from E3, the answer you would get would be Milo. Peter Molyneux, head of Lionhead and MGS Europe, demonstrated Milo at E3 2009.
According to Eurogamer, a source close to the studio has revealed that Project Milo was scrapped yesterday. Apparently 19 contractors were let go as well.
Not all is doomed as the tech will be moved over to be used on a “Fable themed Kinect game.” It doesn’t appear that the tech will make an appearance on Fable III at the moment.
After contradicting each other, both Aaron Greenberg and Molyneux came to the conclusion Milo was a tech demo. It now looks like the virtual boy is finally dead.

Why would I be sad that Milo was cancelled. Milo was intresting but just because Milo is not going to be a game doesn’t mean something like it won’t be created. You guys have no imagination that’s why you can’t wrap your head around Kinect. Look at Kinectimals and tell me Milo did not inspire that. There is no real loss as Milo was just a tech demo. But your an idiot if you think the idea just died because they said it was moving over to a Fable game. Fanboys!!! LOL

“Look at Kinectimals and tell me Milo did not inspire that”
I think it’s very clear that the inspiration came from Nintendogs and EyePet.
Lets check the facts again:
1- Molyneux and Rare both say that Kinect needed buttons to work properly. The dude with the shades thought buttons are useless.
2- Molyneux could not find a way to make Kinect work properly or give a better experience on Fable 3.
3- Project Milo gets cancelled.

Tomigotchi predates Nintendogs.. which predates Eye Pet… which predates Kinectimals.. which predates Milo.
At least the others were cute animals. Having a little boy as a virtual pet is just creepy CAD.

He gets paid to do that
September 24th, 2010
^The indian boy thinks he got jokes.
Too bad he’s as pathetic as he’s always been.
@CAD
The things I listed there are all facts and I can easily provide links for them to prove you wrong.
I see the word “pathetic” is not the only you’ve learned from HH, you also try to be like him by dismissing facts just like does all the time.
September 24th, 2010
@Roca or is it Jojo?
That was one hell of a slip there. Do you have split personalities? If so which one is the Dr Jack-ass and Which one is the Mr. Hideous?
September 24th, 2010
Toshi
Trust me, I fully believe hes a Sony Employee. Who can camp out like this all day every day just to combat anything said about the 360.
September 24th, 2010
Wow
Jojo and Roca are the same person. LOL Your more then pathetic now.
September 24th, 2010
“The indian boy thinks he got jokes.
Too bad he’s as pathetic as he’s always been.”
Mike I think you need to ban people for having split personalities but further more for being racist. Roca and Ncaissie use Racist comments on here all the time and that shit ain’t right. I have indian in my blood too as well as White and Black and the shit they say are really offensive. If Blorge has any ethics you will ban these people. If not then I guess I have all the right to start my onw racist bashing.

I noticed the “I” after I posted the “bait” comment because as I was typing I was reading BJ’s comment.
the confusiong came from reading “I mean” from BJ’s comment while trying to type “he meant”
a simple spelling error. Just like committed I 2 spelling error in this sentence “Your more then pathetic now”
September 24th, 2010
@CAD. If you can’t take the heat get the fuck out of the kitchen (or the net).
September 24th, 2010
it should read: “Just like [CAD] committed I 2 spelling error in this sentence “Your more then pathetic now”
September 24th, 2010
@CAD
If Mike and Dave took everything on Blorge seriously it would be a very boring place. 90% of us would have been banned LONG ago.
Instead the Blorge is a very colorful, and open place. It just wouldn’t be the same if we couldn’t be racist bastards.
not to mention that the average person comes across racism every day and either doesn’t notice or doesn’t care.
I feel like saying something stupid, but true, and I am going to use this as an excuse to say it.
Why do black people still complain about slavery so much?
#1 Africans were sold into slavery by other africans. Their own people made them slaves and sold them to “the white man”. Shouldn’t they be angry at other black people?
#2 Irish people were slaves in America before black people. Its true. Irish people were treated like shit years before a black man stepped foot onto american soil, but you don’t hear them complaining about it now do you?
Before anyone goes so far as to call me a racist I like to point out that I am not racist. I hate everyone equally
September 24th, 2010
CON hasn’t been banned for terrorism what makes you think ppl are going to get banned for racism.
I didn’t see your ass get banned when you were making racist comment towards Ivan.
Plus Toshi’s jokes are just lame. It reminds me of Rajesh from Big Bang (TV Show)

I thought that was a black person?
September 24th, 2010
Black jokes is going to pissed off CAD. Maybe blorge should start banning ppl who get pissed off because of a joke – if you can’t take the heat, then you should be banned
September 24th, 2010
@Roca
“Black jokes is going to pissed off CAD.”
You mean like
Why don’t black people like aspirin?
Because it’s white, it works, and you have to pick cotton to get to it.
You know.. I haven’t heard any good white jokes lately. Anyone got any good ones?
September 24th, 2010
BTW,
I don’t hate black people. Most of my girlfriends were black. I prefer dating black girls over white girls.
September 24th, 2010
“I prefer dating black girls over white girls”
so you make jokes about’em all day long lol
September 24th, 2010
@Roca
if a joke is funny then its funny. Look, I am a Philly-raised white boy. This whole city is one giant joke.
White guys acting “gangsta”
People walking around with their pants hanging off their asses. That one is REALLY funny when the pants fall down while they are going down a flight of steps.
Crazy people walking around with signs, screaming psycho shit about the world comming to an end.
white chicks dating nasty ass guys who have more baby’s mama’s than common sense, doing drugs, and then wondering why their man beats them and treats them like shit then leaves them for another woman.
Then you got gay guys who run around screaming like girls talking shit like “bitch this” and “bitch that”
Black guys who are secretly gay, but act so straight in front of all their friends.
I could go on and on.
I realize that these things can be found in other places too, but here in Philly you can hit the crackpot jackpot

“#1 Africans were sold into slavery by other africans. Their own people made them slaves and sold them to “the white man”. Shouldn’t they be angry at other black people?”
not as much as the people who deprived them of their basic rights, made them serve in inhumane conditions… and on top of it all, hated their guts and thought of them as insects.

@b0xel
“not as much as the people who deprived them of their basic rights, made them serve in inhumane conditions… and on top of it all, hated their guts and thought of them as insects.”
That is exactly what africans did to themselves. They wared with other tribes. They raped and pillaged. They took prisoners. They tortured and humiliated them. Then they either killed them or sold them as slaves.
Look at africa now. They still fight amongst themselves. They still rape. They still pillage. They don’t really take prisoners anymore though, they just kill people off.
Not much of a difference.
If slave trade was still considered “ethical” they would still be doing it.
September 24th, 2010
I can’t speak for Black Americans. But I wonder why they still harp on this fact but I can’t blame them especially considering all the racial hatered that came out during the Obama election. I basically see Republicans as Racist now.
September 24th, 2010
Anyways We have lots of jokes here without the racial slander and I don’t think it is necessary. The amount of Racial jokes pointed at Toshi is just stupid and you guys knows it’s racist. How would Blorge Look if I called all of you White Honkeys all day long. Blorge should not stand for this and people should be banned.
September 24th, 2010
Anyways I bought the Turtle Beach X31 Headphones yesterday and I’m never going back to listening to my TV alone for Audio or my surround sound. This shit is awesome and if your a serious gamer you need one of these no joke.

here’s some clean humor for you:
The Pentagon decided one day that there were to many
Generals, so they decided to offer early retirement to three of them. They called Congress and asked them to vote on a method of determining each General’s early retirement bonus. After voting Congress decided that each man would choose two points of their body to measure between and then
each man would be paid $10,000 per inch.
They called in the first General. He decide to have
them measure from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. Upon measuring it to 6 feet, they paid him $720,000.
The next General, thinking a little bit more, stretched his arms above his head, and asked them to measure from the tips of his fingers, to the bottom of his feet. After measuring 8 feet, they paid him $960,000.
The next General, with a smug look on his face, asked them to measure from the tip of his penis to the bottom of his balls. Congress decided to call in a medical officer.The medical officer asked the General to drop his pants. The medical officer lifted the General’s penis to make the measurement, but instead he exclaimed, “Good God man, where are your balls!!” With a smile the General said, “I left them in Vietnam.”

I am friends with an elderly scottish gentleman who was a pilot for England in WWII.
He was telling me about his first time flying into Munich as a Canadian Airlines Pilot about a decade after the war.
Air traffic control was giving him taxi instructions, and then asked if he had been to Munich before.
His response was:
“Yes, but it was in the middle of the night, and we didn’t land”

@Cad

Its better to be this way than pretending to be something i m not, I am as humane as much he can be, bettar that him at some things and worse in others and thats not gonna change just cause im an Indian..

I can tell you one thing I learned recently. Indian food is awsome. I have an Indian restaurant right around the corner from my house. I’m hooked on 3 things. Peschwari Naan, Lamb Korma, and Lamb Rogan Josh.

No, we are not the same person, CAD and I were having a spirited debate in god knows what thread, and i was posting from my Droid Phone..the problem was i got the windows all mixed up, as the Droid browswer or just mobile browsing is not the smoothest experience….i take it Roca was trying to take a jab at MS IE, which i loathe i use Google Chrome or Firefox at home, whichever i feel like clicking on….and please, you guys are at least intelligent enough to differentiate posting styles…plus yall know my posting style: I wrote BOOKS!!! Plus, im the more ‘vocal’ and ‘insulting’ of the two…

I wish i was a Sony Employee….and we combat anything about the 360…CAD, please, get MS cock out your eyes and ears man…the MAIN things i have against the 360 are as follows:
1. Pay to Play Online and all the MS 360 MORONS<—yes if your willing to be in the 15% minority that actually pays for Gold, then you are a MORON no matter how you slice it…
ANd ill prove it with this question: How do you feel about them raising the price on LIVE Gold by $10? Or are you like HH the dumbshit and will chalk it up to "pennies a day"?
2. Shoddy Hardware…sorry no matter how many model revisions the 360 has, in my mind, as long as they charge to play online, i will then always think and vote with my wallet by not purchasing a console with a 56% failure rate…

@FahkinSupah
I agree, indian food is awesome…i m not gonna lie though, it does have a distinct, very strong smells, but my favorites so far are, as best as i can describe them:
Indian Rice…delish!
A potatoe like food, its like a dim-sung but potato i think?
The bread that looks like a peta-bread tortilla
Hehe gotta love pot lucks at work!!
September 27th, 2010
Damn see…damn mobile internet browsing mixed my shit up!!! allow me to continue my list of things i hold against MS
3.SEVERE LACK of genre defining, revo-/evolutionary, innovative, TRUE EXCLUSIVE titles….
I was in the market for one..but really, i can’t get past the pay to play online, its just not worth it…i dont give a shit about “parties”, although i do like the patching/updating process better and the x-game chat, those two items alone are NOT worth $60, financially and based on principle…
