Playstation 4 supports voice recognition

Sony confirms PlayStation Camera allows for voice recognition; more details to be shared ahead of November launch.

3637 Comments

The PlayStation 4 will support voice commands, a Sony representative has confirmed.

No Caption Provided

"Sony Computer Entertainment can confirm that PlayStation Camera allows for voice recognition and we will look forward to sharing more details in the lead up to the launch of PlayStation 4 on November 29 [in Europe]," a Sony spokesperson told Polygon.

The confirmation comes shortly after an Amazon listing for the PlayStation Camera stated that it would allow features including "navigational voice commands."

Competitor Microsoft will offer voice command support for the Xbox One via Kinect.

The PS4 launches November 15 in North America, November 29 in Europe, and in 32 countries in all by the end of the year.

I hate the Kinect mainly like most of us because it's forced upon us, we are forced to buy it with the console...which is suspicious if you ask me.

Just for those Xbots.

At least this thing isn't shoved down our throats, and it's an option that i myself won't be using, unlike the Kinect, which is what the Xbone is built around and you have to buy it like it or not.

@DemocraticTroll But the other side of the argument is that now the Devs will be more likely to use the Kinect for potentially new, cool features...

@Stipton1 @DemocraticTroll Ignore Stipton. He's just talking to hear himself talk at this point even if it's incoherent babble.

I can't wait to see unaware gamers in "compromising" positions over at Brazzers.com in the new "Kinect" category. With optional body heat scanning and motion sensors for the money shot!

@vishisluv7 Too bad only the netizens know to unplug it, the sheep on the outside will suffer the consequences which includes death by Feds.

@Hop103 @vishisluv7 NSA appreciates M$ help in gathering intel as we've all been made aware.

Now they have an HD camera that people pay to put in their homes with mic and motion sensor.

The funny thing about PreOrders is this: PS fanboys preorder/Xbox fanboys preorder, but that only makes up about 2 mil ppl. Everyone else will upgrade whatever they have....

I'll stick with a controller, well at least the camera on the PS4 won't phone the Feds to arrest or kill you if you say the wrong things.
