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.

@Stipton1 The PS Move is a great peripheral. Better functionality than the Kinect, actually. But, like the Kinect, it has no support because nobody owns one.

Sony still hasn't shown anything about the PS camera. I would bet it's not that great and it's probably better that they decided not to bundle it in.

@chevelle451 That's my guess. But mostly it's because they know nobody's going to buy the Eye now that they've unpackaged it from the console.

@JBStone1981 @chevelle451 Except for the people who want it and already pre-ordered it. It was always meant to be sold separately anyway.

@jmeyer2039 If that's all you see for MS, then you are a blind fanboy.

For worldwide press, MS showed things that were meant to entice everyone (and yet you self-entitled gamers think it should've been only games). For gaming events, they only showed games.

Be blind to what they offer. But make no mistake, both consoles will play great games, and play games well...

@m4a5 @jmeyer2039 That is a perceived difference, yes. And while my post above was certainly of a sarcastic tone, it was little more than poking fun. I've nothing personal against anyone who wants an Xbox One. I have stated before that I've nothing against it, but I still have a disdain for Microsoft, the company. In over 20 years of gaming, I've never seen a company behave quite this way. The one to come closest is, well, Sony...at the start of last gen.

@m4a5 @jmeyer2039 Yeah, I can see how you got that from my post... What can I say, sometimes the desire to troll a little gets the better of me. What you said about competition is true, though.

Edit: Removed OP. Your name is familiar, by the way. Have we spoken before?

@jmeyer2039 I guess it's all about how you look at it. For me, I could see MS with the old XB1 policies eventually turning it into something like Steam, but the DRM muddied up that vision (bad leadership/marketing). Then when that route no longer looked promising, they flip-flopped. Not the best move, but they listened to the consumers not wanting such a change (aka listened to their wallets lol).

I'm just tired of seeing the immature gamers troll anything that isn't 100% positive when it comes to MS and their XB1 (and they sometimes try when it is too). Real gamers would be happy that this competition is going strong, and not b*tching about everything that isn't their preferred console...

@JBStone1981 @m4a5 @green_scorpion @jmeyer2039 Neither console has offered me anything compelling beyond the promise of fun games in 2014 (not interested in any launch titles). I have no desire to utilize the cameras, voice commands, or other entertainment features of either device. I am already fulfilled in that area with my TV, cable box, laptop, and smartphone.

@green_scorpion @jmeyer2039 But if you had the chance to replaced a few remotes/functions in your entertainment area, I'm sure you would. I know I'm a lazy gamer, and these things sure don't help lol

And JBStone1981 makes a good point :P

@green_scorpion @m4a5 @jmeyer2039 You buy consoles PRIMARILY for games. Most consoles--even ones today--do more than that. Netflix is watched on PS3 more than any other device, for example. Entertainment beyond games is a valid and important part of any home entertainment device, and especially consoles.
