Speaking with Computer and Video Games Peter Molyneux said that it will be “[a]lmost impossible to form an inappropriate relationship” with Milo in his Natal project unveiled in the Microsoft press conference.
Oh Peter, you really do underestimate humanity. People are going to be showing that poor boy pictures of penises from day one, not to mention trying to do all manner of other inappropriate things. I would have thought such a master of “innovation” as Peter Molyneux would understand that if people can do something they will, just because they can.
I’m sure they have built in a hilarious response to swearing, but just how far can they go to make sure people aren’t doing inappropriate things to Milo without breaking the immersion or limiting the actual interactions you have with him? As many of you know I’m not really sold on the whole ‘Project Natal’ thing yet, and won’t be until I get my grubby mitts on the tech. But even I will have to see how far the technology can be pushed once it finally does arrive.
