It's not that using the Kinect for voice controls (VC) is stupid. The part that's stupid is that I have a mic for both of my systems and I can't use VC. Why not?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Well I agree that I wouldn't get one just for some voice controls, but I'm pretty sure Kinect has some voice recognition built into it whereas using a mic the developers would have to create their own on top of developing the game...I think I saw someone say that. I'm sure someone else could explain it better but I think that's the case.
If that's the case then that would make sense. I still don't see why they can't just place VC into the coding for the actual game.Well I agree that I wouldn't get one just for some voice controls, but I'm pretty sure Kinect has some voice recognition built into it whereas using a mic the developers would have to create their own on top of developing the game...I think I saw someone say that.

I thought it was incredibly dumb when they showed it off for Mass Effect 3. I was like "Why couldn't they have done this before? Every Xbox 360 comes with a Microphone..."
And before you think there's some "special trick" to the Kinect for Voice Recognition or something, Windows has had this feature for their OSs for Years and all it takes is a simple $10 Microphone.
[QUOTE="elbert_b_23"]people already yell at their videogames as they play them so i have no problems with games being played that waylowkey254That's not the issue I have. I want to know why voice controls can't be used with a regular mic. They can--a la Tom Clancy's EndWar. The main problem comes down to the software, and MS already provides the tools for Kinect voice integration where as a developer would have to build software from the ground up to make use of the standard mic.
Lemmings like getting owned and getting ripped off so they pretend the 360 headset doesn't work and kinect is revolutionary.
Inb4 bu bu teh kinect sells so its winner
I'm thinking about starting a business and selling lems a revolutionary device that lets you record your own voice and then listen to it just for $200. I think it will be success.Lemmings like getting owned and getting ripped off so they pretend the 360 headset doesn't work and kinect is revolutionary.
