Still scratching your head ? Well you shouldn't be. Japanese software developer Red Entertainment is currently working on a very special game exclusively for Xbox.
The bizarely titled game see's the player use voice commands and speech to talk to and teach a virtual robot girl and basically it'll be like a very different kind of Tamagotchi. Thirlling stuff eh ?
Okay so it is not Halo, and the fact that the Japanese had to make it a robot girl to get any attention for it is a slight downer, maybe, but what's truly great about this it the use of sophisticated voice recognition softare far above current standards like those in the so far US only PS2 USSOCOM game. This uses whole sentences and the onscreen character develops emotions, a sense of humour and will supposedly talk back, even get angry. The developers are promising a massive vocabulary, in excess of all current software, again.
In a way it's one step closer to the kind of computer's seens in Sci-Fi shows like Babylon 5, Star Trek and so on, a very small step forwards. A form of A.I. for the home in a limited way. It's at least a start isn't it ? Early reports on the internet suggest it will get a US/Europe release and that a seperate team is handling English translation already.
It's, at the very least, a good example of new ideas that could lead to some great games. N.U.D.E itself may be nothing more than a party/demonstration type game, but it's certainly a unique idea.
And we all know what that means don't we ? Yep, in Britain you can expect to pick the game up, one month after it's release in June/July 2003 for about 60% of it's retail value as it fails to sell.
Me cynical ? Nope....

Something different though isn't it ? There's another great - well, different - game in XGamer I got today, Ghost Master I think it's called, you have to scare people and things like that. Wacky, and maybe a few more weird titles would be good for the Xbox.

LOL, Nints, whats the obsession with Pokemon?
N.U.D.E looks decent, It'll be fun to train your own pet girl (?!?!)

It would be interesting if you could take it online and have it interact with other people's own robots...
Perhaps train them to do fighting attacks, Pokémon style! :-)
