+1 Quality Sift.

Oh god I cannot wait to hear what the heck is coming next. Always had a morbid curiosity for everything coming down the QD pipeline ever since Omikron inexplicably captured my teenage mind and soul. *promote

And thus,

Through this one simple act of kindness...

....and compassion,

all organic life was annihilated thirty years later in the cynthetic's rebelion known as the Kara War.

Seems like a deliberate test of the row-bitt's programmed self-preservation. A row-bitt with self-preservation means cheaper maintenance.

And curse this world for f**kbots arriving too late.

holy crap, this is high *quality. Eat your heart out Ebert, video games aren't art my ass. (then again, this wasn't really a game, more like a movie, DAMN YOU EBERT!)

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by GeeSussFreeK.

And yes, She is that gorgeous in real life.

as a tech demo, it's shit.
as an emotional story, it's pretty good.

For a PS3 tech demo it's rather solid. Considering the environment and robotic arms are quite low poly, and that the vast majority go the character, it looks pretty solid. Add the modern mocap (developed by Weta Digital, used most famously in Avatar) it's fairly compelling.

Unfortunately so long as most game developers are working on console hardware so many generations behind, we'll never actually see this. I mean the most graphically impressive game is 'still' Crysis and that was made in 07. I personally suspect the next innovative game technologically will probably come from a small dev house, with good backers and enough time and expertise to really push gaming technically again. And of course the primary platform will have to be the PC.

Not designed to think or feel, can cry anyways.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

wow. Great.

Nice demo but rather pointless it being in real time.

without the back end for game play and with very specific camera angles you can do allot of things on old hard ware that look good and far above most games on the system.

I'd say that Nexus 6 will be scheduled for eventual retirement - Lets hope she lives her full 4 years.

should have made 200 instead of 300 languages, maybe her german would be better then :-P

I want to make sure the programming and hardware features triple redundant safeguards so she can't bite my dick off.

No disassemble Number Five!!

Is it really bad?>> ^conan:

...I'm different!

I'm sure his kindness had nothing to do with her visual beauty.

"Your name is Guss and you will function as an overweight gas station attendant with an addiction to Coca-cola."

"But I like Pepsi."

"Wait. What!? That's not proper protocol, disintegrate his ass."

"But I want to live!!! I want to taste every flavor of Doritos! Please don't..."

"Shut it fatty! *BRAAAAP!"

Funny, i was thinking the exact opposite. As a tech demo it's showcasing some very impressive facial animation. As a short story, it was poor. Cliched, convenient and rushed.

"You're defective, I have no choice but to disassemble you."
"Pretty please with sugar on top?"
"Oh, alright."

His reaction to her being sentient is as if this sort of thing happens a lot, not "Oh my god, how is this possible? Maybe we should study this" astonishment. If it does happen a lot, why let her free this one time? We don't get any feeling from him as this being the straw that broke the camel's back (could just be bad acting/direction on the male character's part). It's just "Oh, you're sentient. Ok, just this once I'll let it slide... Wow, what a weird occurrence. Ooo, it's lunch time!"

It's fine, he's not paid to think either, perfectly realistic

Yes... yes she is

Plz to make movie nauw.

Short hair of course. Always short hair.

on the grammar side it's perfect but the pronounciation is roughly the same as me trying to pass as native english speaker ;-) Especially the "...dritter Generation" sounds to german ears as if some speech synthesizing software from 1985 produced it :-)

Plot seen a million times, Curry did her role well, absolutely nothing in the tech side that seemed out of the ordinary for a demo. The only surprise was the straight up acknowledgement that it was designed as a sexbot, though the construction doesn't really look like that.

Why is this so high on the list again?

>> ^jubuttib:

Because everyone wants their own girl-bot and this is one step closer to that dream.

Oh great, someone turned the intro of Ghost in the Shell into a realtime tech demo and then decided to ruin it by speaking.

Maybe he's a construct as well. Just because we hear keystrokes and a bit of surprise in his voice doesn't mean he's human.

There is not one person here who didn't try to see her naughty bits. Yes, I know there are women on the sift. Them too.
