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.

@Roble123 Not ahead by much considering all the flaq they been taking since the reveal. If I was Sony I would be concerned and pray that people do not like the Kinect once they buy an Xbox One.

@chevelle451 @Roble123 It's nothing to worry about. Sony soared after E3, but MS is killing them since they reversed their DRM policy.

@JBStone1981 @chevelle451 @Roble123 you just have to see on the internet that the PS4 has way more support than the XBOne, its really clear actually.

@DemocraticTroll Once you buy a PS Eye it functions almost like Kinect. Wether it is an option or not is irrelevant.

@tommynj @DemocraticTroll It is actually, the Kinect is shoved down our throats that is mainly why lots of gamers hate it.

@tommynj @DemocraticTroll Mate, still not the point :P.

People just don't want the Kinect, lots of us don't want either for gaming or TV, they just want a console that doesn't includes it and that will cost less.

@DemocraticTroll @tommynj Because Kinect is used for the tv services as well ? It isn't just for gaming. You don't need it for gaming at all..

@tommynj @DemocraticTroll That's not the point, the point is that we have to buy it...why?, why not just release a console without the Kinect?

@DemocraticTroll @tommynj You do realize you can turn off Kinect. You do not need Kinect to play on your console but it is there if you want it.

@chevelle451 Son'y exclusive are weaksauce compared to the XB1. Those who are buying a PS4 just want to save the extra $100 for craptastic games Sony will be pumping out on launch.

@tommynj @chevelle451 Keep thinking that pal, Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica, Media Molecule, and other 1st party titles have not been revealed yet. Just cause Microsoft got desperate and decided to show off all their games at E3 doesn't mean Sony does not have AAA titles. Think before you speak, kid. PS4 is a gaming console, so you better believe you will see all types of games, from Indies to AAA.

@ohyeah2545 I would agree but pc developers don't even use the full power of the pc. No point in buying a pc for gaming..

This is hilarious. Sony Fanboys shitting on a feature that MS fanboys get. Only to find out their PS4 has the same feature and now it's "Amazing" and "shits on MS". Too funny watching these fanboys argue over consoles that are pretty much alike despite minor differences

@PosiTVEMinD355 it's a crappy feature, but I'm not being told the PS4 is built around it, that it is mandatory, and that it cost 100$

enjoy your xbox

PlayStation 4 supports voice commands = Awesome. Now what game would be perfect for that kind of feature, let me see....um Pikachu quick attack now! Yes that would be perfect. Wait a minute what am talking about, that belongs to Nintendo.

@freedom01 Yeah that could work too but oh how awesome it would be if only there is a Pokemon game where you can use voice command to do battle just like in the show. Kinda sad considering the Wii U doesn't have voice command right?
