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.

@animatrix999 @JBStone1981 At what? The fact that you'll miss out on a great experience because you idiotically think Sony loves you?

@HowlPendragon @JBStone1981 Always-online isn't what they had. They had an online check-in once every 24 hours for DRM purposes. That has nothing at all to do with all-digital.

And they're still going to allow digital trades. Shit, they do now.

@JBStone1981 MS's approach was to have everyone always-online to check up on them

I'll admit their buying and trading digital games idea was cool, but people weren't ready for it.

@mastermetal777 What does their former DRM policy have to do with rushing into an all-digital future? And you do realize that this isn't their policy anymore, right?

@JBStone1981 @HowlPendragon By forcing everyone to accept their way or not be able to play games at all. Or have you all forgotten about Microsoft's original policies?

Sony fanboys as they change their opinions about voice recognition from "that's lame MS" to "hey, that's pretty cool if sony is doing it".

@Stipton1 You do realize maybe 95% of console owners from both sides will use this for about a week then stop using it, right? Glad Microsoft could beat them to collecting dust in the closet.
