Computers cant do things nobody thaught them after all.

....I sat down while my MTV Multiplayer blog successor Russ Frushtick tried the next part of the Milo demo. He stood in front of the TV as Milo approached him and then, using his hands to make goggles over his face, he initiated an EyeToy-style novelty. He waved his hands to make the water ripple. (Molyneux told us that you can also help Milo build a treehouse.)

I looked away from the TV to ask Molyneux what I should make of this Milo project. Is it really right to think of it as a game? He said it had to be. It had to have a goal and even an ending, he said. At its most basic he said that we could think of Milo as a Tamagotchi but that it would be much more advanced and magical than those old virtual pets ever were.

Molyneux had me wrap up the demo by approaching Milo again. He asked me to call Milo over by saying my own name and acting happy. Milo walked up to me and complimented me on my blue shirt (my shirt was indeed blue). Then he stood there, waiting for me to say things. There was a little awkwardness here. The Milo demo was partially being manipulated by a developer who was sitting nearby, and I couldn't tell if he was merely calibrating the game or how much he was pulling its strings. I said nice things to Milo and the virtual boy smiled. I said I was standing next to Peter Molyneux and he sort of sighed. The most charming moment was that blue-shirt moment. It felt like this virtual person made a connection with me.

He and his big ideas... it happened several already times already with him, always announcing some radical new thing, but when it's actually released, you see that there's nothing really new about it and that it doesn't work as well as advertised.

it's so obvious that this kind of behaviour is a simple script and has nothing to do with "intelligence" at all.

I didn't say he lies intentionally. It's obvious that he would really like those games to work the way he imagines them. They simply never do. I'm not saying that those were bad games, on the contrary, most of them were great and I've had a lot of fun playing them. But experience has taught me, not to take those kind of announcements from Peter Molyneux literally.

For example, the crap with the blue t-shirt in the Kotaku preview: it's so obvious that this kind of behaviour is a simple script and has nothing to do with "intelligence" at all.

I am looking forward to it. If some true good games will be released for Natal I would consider rebuying a X360.

Oh yes and finally a game which is not based on big tits!

finally a game which is not based on big tits!

An easy test would be to draw a really shit fish and feed it in and see if he says its helpful, or not helpful at all :3

Ah OK - so you basically say not to take Peter seriously. Well - then we're on the same page here.
Ironically his excitement about everything he does hurts his games quite a lot because they are usually totally overhyped - but as long as they sell well...
