It's an even bigger shame that they're going to pretend like the miniscule amount of processing required for voice commands are a major hindrance to bringing it to other platforms or allowing a person to simply use a mic. (And, as if this would be a barrier for PC gamers with modern processors)

It's an application processor used in many digital photo frames, people!

Agreed, it's going to be interesting to see how they implement that... To be honest, I'm planning on only using Kinect in combat.

This just adds another layer of immersion. The same can be said about head-tracking in Forza 4. Neither are mandatory but each can add a greater depth of entertainment..

I don't see the need or the desire to voice out the dialogue. However organizing and voicing combat instead of going through the sub-menu is not only a time saver but keeps the gameplay going. Not sure why anyone would be against that.

@levelhead I believe you have missed my point entirely. Had you watched the E3 kinect voice integration of mass effect?

You HAD to voice out dialogue...in such a way that would prolong the gameplay not streamline it.

If they have come up with a new way...yee bloody ha bring it on....awesome! But I fear it may be as lame as has already been shown. That is what I'm against.

I don't buy it. They could have made it work with a normal headset if they wanted to.

Seems like there was some extra cash flowing from Microsoft's direction.

Oh please, Kinect's processor is the same used in digital picture frames.

I know YOU think that the ps3 would explode if it tried to do the same thing as an APPLICATION processor along with Mass Effect, but it would not. Plus, that isn't an excuse for the PC with processors that make the 360/ps3's processors LOOK like application processors.

It's clear to anyone that this has to do with a deal with Microsoft.

Yeh considering you could give voice commands back on the ps2 with socom I don't believe they need the need kinect at all and this gen a few games have dabbled in voice commands, so what makes ME3 different?

So... what? I can't comment on it? EA is shoving this Kinect functionality down everyone's throat right now through the press. They demand it's better, I disagree.

It's not hatred towards Kinect for everyone. I'm very much weary of voice commands. I've had the opportunity to use them in a ton of games and I have _never_ found them to be better. I was just talking a lot of nonsense when I could have spent more time listening to some music I liked or talking to someone (VoIP or in person) rather than just talking a lot.

My _only_ issue is that this is being used to sell Kinect when it is possible on every platform via a headset. Yes, I know someone is going to come here and say it's because it's on the Kinect hardware and not on the console, but I 100% believe that it is possible on all platforms, especially PC, without losing any of the noticeable performance or quality of the game itself.

And, I didn't like that some previews of it did say that they felt they were shouting at their TV rather than talking to it. This may have been due to the location and distance to the device, though.

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
