Summary:
Vapourware, like Rockstar’s Agent and StarCraft: Ghost, often lives on as legend rather than as played content. Peter Molyneux, known for projects like Fable, discusses his cancelled game Project Milo, a Kinect tech demo aimed at creating an emotional connection with players. Despite its innovative voice and gesture recognition concepts, the project was shelved as Microsoft shifted Kinect’s focus to casual party games, ultimately canceling Molyneux’s vision for an intimate, narrative-driven experience.
Discussion Prompt:
