Xbox360 Milo and Kate

[DECKIMBAL]

Da ich kein entsprechendes Forum gefunden habe, mache ich mal einen Thread zu Milo and Kate von Peter Molyneux.

Auf der E3 war das im vergangenen Jahr vorgestellte Milo and Kate nicht gezeigt worden; Microsofts Aaron Greenberg hatte das Ganze vor Kurzem gar als reine Tech-Demo deklariert. Das wiederum sah man bei Lionhead etwas anders.

Hier das brandneue Video dazu:

Gerade gesehen.
Bin irgendwie richtig geflashed. :eek6:

Ganz anders als ich anfangs gedacht habe.
Geht ja jetzt eher in die Richtung HR ohne Story und dafür ist der Charakter an sich das Wichtige.

Was mir jetzt aber nicht klar ist:
Ist der Spieler irgendwie Milo's oder Kate's 2. Ich bzw. das Gewissen/Seele oder was "reales" ?

Sah nett aus und wohl AI technisch interessant, aber insgesamt für mich eher mau. Interaktion nur an bestimmten Punkten, ansonsten nur Punkte auswählen (oh da eine Schnecke). Stimme wird erkannt, aber ob Milo nun "weiß" was du sagst oder nur wie du etwas sagst... da wäre doch interessant gewesen noch verschiedene Varianten zu sehen.

Ansonsten wieder interessante Märchenstunde mit Peter... er ist ein Visionär ohne Frage.

Edit:

Interessant aber war das Kinect im Sitzen funzte und Finger erkannt wurden (oder zumindest die Hand).
Finger dürfte nicht ganz hinhauen, da die Auflösung von Kinect runtergeschraubt wurde.

vom technischen stand sieht das schon hammer aus

nur glaub ich kaum das man es als spiel umsetzen kann

 

[crazillo]

aber wie soll das denn in alle sprachen übersetzt werden alleine? und wie soll er auf unterschiedlichste sätze reagieren? kommen dann "keywords", die er erkennt oder was? aber ist schon sehr sehr interessant. glaube aber nicht, dass das jemals veröffentlicht wird.

Mega Meshes - Modeling, Rendering and Lighting a World Made of 100 Billion Polygons

Quote:
SPEAKER/S: Ben Sugden (Lionhead Studios) and Michal Iwanicki (Lionhead Studios)
DAY / TIME / LOCATION: Friday 11:00-12:00 Room 3007, West Hall 3rd Fl.
TRACK / FORMAT: Programming / Lecture
DESCRIPTION: MILO AND KATE is an Xbox360 title in development at Lionhead Studios.

This presentation introduces an innovative pipeline where we moved from a conventional content-creation workflow to building and painting our world using mesh sculpting tools alone, working entirely in 3D, eliminating the need for artists to consider both texture budgets and UV parametrization.

We describe algorithms to handle these multi-billion polygon assets, discuss our virtual texture streaming system, together with how to deal with common implementation issues. We follow with a description of a novel real-time global illumination solution we have developed and a survey of alternative approaches.

TAKEAWAY: Attendees will learn a new approach to modeling environment assets, providing a more artist oriented workflow. They will gain ideas to solve common problems with virtual texture streaming, compression and processing of these extremely detailed models. They will benefit from our research into computing indirect illumination in real time.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: The talk is primarily targeted towards graphics, tools or engine programmers or technical artists. Some knowledge of existing graphics pipelines and lighting models may be beneficial but is not required. The talk is targeting intermediate to advanced level.

At this point I think they've taken everything they learned and created with Milo and expanded it to a larger project. Possibly Microsoft's big E3 title.

I think cancelled is the wrong word because that implies they were working on a game which they scrapped. They've worked on a piece of tech for years, and they made Milo to show that tech to the world, that is all.

Let's not forget that the project was in development for years as Project Dimitri, creating the "emotional AI" -- the illusion of sentience. Turning it into Milo for demo at E3 09 with Kinect was very late in the process, taking up less than 6 months of development having worked on the tech for up to 7 years prior. Even if they have scrapped the Milo concept of being the imaginary friend of a boy with his dog, the groundwork and tech remain. Given that Molyneux said on the Engadget show that Milo was just "a character of many, many characters" in a "much bigger game" than the "tech" shown at E3, I think it's clear that Milo and Kate, as we've known it, hasn't been a game scheduled for release for a while now, if ever.

Ich weiß immer noch nicht so recht was ich von dem "Milo" Projekt halten soll. Für mich klingt das bisher wie ein aufgeblasener Tamagotchi/Second Life Zwitter.

 

[Deleted member 12246]

wow, Kinectimals 2 mit nem kleinen Jungen. Minispielesammlung ole!

 

[Breac]

Noch ein paar neue Sachen...http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xhtqnu_milo-kate-lionhead-studios_videogames
