Playstation 4 supports voice recognition

It's probably been in development for years but they were waiting for NSA approval before they announced it.

@Guest1000000000 @Enundr i think you forgot to take your medication ;-) comeback when youve taken it good sir , or thing i guess. and the funny part is my only complaints is about kinect , you dont see me spewing s**t out of my mouth cause it doesnt address the issue , yet here you are with the only thing you can come up for PS4s hatefest is calling it weird names (sry i cant read gibberish/moron).

Did they really say the "Playstation 4 camera.... allows.... for voice recognition". Allows? Really? A $5 microphone from Radio Shack "allows" for voice recognition. It's the software and localization which accounts for accents etc that is what voice recognition is all about.

The microphone allows for it????? Now, that's funny. :-)

@Guest1000000000 yet you didnt seem to understand my other post with #dealwithit. you are a fail troll and need to gtfo off of the forums till you learn to be a better troll =P

@Guest1000000000 @Enundr if your gonna waste time calling a PS4 fail , yet not understand that then gtfo off here you fail ass troll. (in response to your other response to something i said =P )

Does anyone actually care about this feature? Will this really make more people buy a PS4?

Yeeeaaaa! Now I can say ps4 ON!!! :D

oh well at least it's OPTIONAL and we don't of to be forced to buy it

Great, so the Eye of Sauron wants both video AND audio now. No cameras or microphones, thanks. Hopefully they're not integrated into the PS4, or I won't buy it (yes, the case design can still be changed).

Feels tacked on from Sony trying to mimic Kinect.

For me, Sony is strides ahead of Microsoft in terms of hardware and policies. The PS3 was fine without voice commands and at no point have I ever felt that asking my PS3 verbally to go to the PS Store or run a game would be good.

For me, voice commands should be restricted to me shouting abuse at my mates telling them to do stuff in a game

Ive already got enough saved up for the PS4 PSN+ and just about 3 PS4 games, I think its time to start saving for, GTAV, Batman Arkham origins and the game Beyond, still some great games to come out for the PS3 yet.

Meh, as long as i can still use the remote to navigate i'm fine with it, i don't want to have to be shouting like a moron to my tv when pressing buttons requires as much effort as shouting if not less.

I don't care about the function but i don't mind it.

This is so last gen.

Not really needed, thanks for the addition, I'm glad it doesn't need PS+ to function rofl.

Not needed, Not interested, Still buying but not for that.

Keep voice commands to navigating menus/apps and this is good. Just keep them out of my gameplay unless it makes navigating in game menus/features easier.

One exception might be with occulus rift Wicked Paradise. It be cool to tell a girl on there to take her dress off or move to bed and she does it lol.

@Psycho_truth Eye toy LOL right.....

"Playstation on.."?

So the PlayStation Camera is not the same thing as the Eye? So to get knock off quality XB1 you have to buy two extra devices?

Why is everyone hating. I love voice controls on the kinect for games like skyrim and that. It was great, kinect isnt good for much else but i did enjoy the voice commands. And i was so happy to hear the ps4 will support them.

I thought PS fanboys hated features? Does this mean now all those PS fanboys trash talking the features of the One will have to switch to the Wii U?

Microsoft is years ahead of Sony as far as voice commands go. Any voice commands they feature are gonna be garbage in comparison to the Kinect audio recognition and navigation.

So the XB1 was becoming more like the PS4, now the PS4 is becoming more like XB1 WTF

This is news? What device can't do voice today?

all of a sudden voice commands on a console became cool..
