I had voice recognition on my Sound Blaster 16 (PC Sound card) about 15-years ago. The difference was that voice recognition back then was crappy.
It's about the quality of said voice recognition, not if it is available. That's like saying HDTV are crap since I had black and white TV back in the 50's!
For the most part though it is software related! ... and like any software it is dependent on the developer of said software for it's success:
a) is the API is easy to use?
b) quality of said voice recognition (arguably the most important reason)
I don't know why people bash Alan Wake so much, but I thoroughly enjoyed the game.
Arguably it had no re-play value after you finish it like twice, so I promptly traded it in... with that said, the Limited Edition of this game was the best I have seen. It included a full developer commentary in game with a little video pop-up while you play. Hands-down the best!
I have a sealed LE in my glass case.
I would argue it is also a culture of protecting their own industry.
When you have a country that protects their products from:
a) California Rice which by the way is half the price of Japanese grown rice
b) Garbage disposals for your sink that cost a $1k that cost about $150 in the US
Then that tells me they aren't very interested in outside imported products. Sure there are exceptions, but one can not argue the overwhe...
Fact is the people I saw at MS Store enjoyed it with a big smile and everyone else I seen on amateur videos also have a big smile when playing Kinect so I hardly believe it is "utter shite".
Seeing how you are praising PS Move, yet it is just another Wii HD made and priced by Sony tells me you like Sony much?
Fact of the matter is Wii type motion control has been done for the last 4-years. Tacking that onto a current game doesn't take long....
Because the PS2 could have a 10-year lifespan even though it was "inferior" to the original Xbox. Lifespan has little to do with raw proccessing power buddy.
It has everything to do with customer support!
Do you think PS2 would have a 10-year life cycle if people stopped buying it after 7 years?
....
The newer Elites are also Jasper and has been for some time now. RROD contrary to what a lot of people on this site would claim, is few and far between in Falcon and now Jasper models.
LOL!
It's like I'm visiting a porn site for my gaming news... ohh hip hop gamer! You really whore your site out, eh with controversial flamebait titles and now scantily clad women. A new low!!!
Except, it is still selling like hotcakes for months before release... The hate is only here on n4g.com!
Did anyone actually get a platinum on that game? I could have sworn I read on the PS forums for this game that only one person got it and it was like big news....
I stop playing it so I have no clue....
I think what would help Sony initially is to offer up a schedule for maybe the next 3 months of what is included. Right now, there is plenty of uncertainty regarding the value of PSN+ so I'm going to hold off. After all, I might just end up with a bunch of junk games Sony couldn't sell in the first place.
The idea of spending money on unknown content that for the most part is only available as long as I'm paying a subscription fee doesn't sound appealing as we...
"other dance games dont really care what you do with your arms. "
or your legs, body head.... you know, your whole body! Certain things Kinect just works really well, others not so much.
I'm interested in that snow boarding game coming out in January? The Star Wars game looks fantastic too. Wish the had a full body tracking fighting game First/Third Person View!
Although I'm a hardcore gamer, I enjoy casual games from time to time with the family. What is wrong with casual games?
Sure I want some hardcore games with Kinect, but I'm kind of glad it isn't just tacked on as an afterthought. I'm more excited about the technology and it's possibilities so yes, I'm very much excited about Kinect.
But since you are such a heavy gamer, and only play GAMES, I'm sure casuals games aren't good en...
Yes, you are correct. The Halo 3 LE console did have artwork on it, albeit somewhat minimalistic.
That was a pretty nice looking console, but I believe you were lucky if you got a Falcon with those. The vast majority of the console released was the older one.
The market has spoken and it has deemed that whatever value Xbox Live Gold provides, regardless of how YOU think it is worth it or not, is worthy!
I mean after all, 12.5 million people choose the "inferior to PS3" Xbox 360 and willing to pay a subscription fee every month. That tells me that people see value in Live Gold!
You can b!tch and moan about it here, but the 12.5 million people and increasing don't give a squat! They are paying and usin...
That research from Sega is a little disconcerting. This isn't your vanilla warning, as we have been staring at screens for a long time.
This is a warning that it might mess up with your eyes from pro-longed exposure. People don't know exactly what it will do with your brain/eyes. Fact is, you are screwing around with your vision to create 3D. It might be something, it might not.
What I do know is that watching a 3D movie in the theater certainly make...
"The Kinect is all about those shitty "games". You can hold on to Halo: Reach for as long as you need to."
I there was some hard core games for Kinect, but there aren't it seems so I'm not going down that path.
With that said, I'm pretty happy about upcoming games. On the other hand, it seems you worry for me or are you to busy bashing the competition you don't like.
I'm still excited about Kinect and i...
I bought an HD-DVD drive for the 360. Actually I bought two, after the format failed in the bargain bin.
I paid like $20 for each drive and each drive gave me 5-6 movies to boot. I now have a collection of probably 12 or so HD-DVD movies. The external HD-DVD drive doubles as a PC external DVD-Rom drive.
Why would I throw that out?
