Funny, I've been typing with my controller for years. I'd bet real money I'm faster at it than anyone would be moving their hands to get an imprecise cursor to move.
Auto sign in for Kinect and the PS4 camera look fine. Switching profiles and split screen is all good, but not $100 good.
And I will never want to Skype on my console while I'm doing something else. Why would I want to shrink the useable area of my gaming screen so my stupid friend can tell me about the wicked fart he just ripped? I've got an iPad and a phone for that shit.
I'm not talking about typing with your hands, with your voice.
About Skype.. I think the same thing could be said years ago about cross game voice chat... "Why would I want to talk to my friend when I'm playing a single player game."
It is a feature that you might not need, but would be really nice.
Plus Skype in the living room will be great for families connecting with their friends and family.
Yep, it allows me to say "grenade!" to throw a grenade instead of tapping a button. Da fewcha! Totally worth a hundred bones.
But you're here to spew shit at anyone who dares insult the great and wise and mighty and sexy and smart and funny and cool Microsoft, like you do in every thread. So keep on keeping on!
Ok obviously something like shouting "grenade" would be dumb, same with making noise to attract zombies in Dead Rising 3.
But look at a game like Skyrim that had a really complicated menu system that wasn't really designed for consoles. They allowed Kinect users to use their voice to switch spells, weapons, etc. That feature is really helpful.
Most console RTS games don't allow you to assign troops to groups because there just aren't enough buttons.
Halo Wars could allow you to select a bunch of groups and say "Assign group 1" and then you just "call group 1" and walaa.
Or in fall out, instead of opening a map and selecting a fast travel destination, "Fast travel to las vegas"
There are a lot of possible implementations for Kinect voice commands in core games besides "grenade!"
