THIS is why the game was delayed for 4 months? Woop-De-Fuckin'-Do! Thankfully it wasnt a waste of time afterall!Duffeknol said:
Better with kinect indeed. "The response is quick, really really quick"... yeah you know whats quicker than saying something outloud? Pressing a button and then having that happen instantly -.-
This. Why have the kinect at all if we are only using it as a glorified microphone.Irridium said:
Unless the voice recognition capability is bundled with the hardware and not the game. idk
seems so strange. This isn't even a new concept. Manhunt on ps2 let you trigger events with your voice. as well as End war as this guy said.
its the same!! I have my suspicions that it will only work exclusively with the kinect.
balls
When the technology has progressed, say in like 10 years, and we're playing Mass Effect 9, THEN I'd like to see Kinect support. As in you can actually talk to the characters in the conversations and say whatever you want, and the game would react to that. Now that would be nice.
Well, that was a very nice commercial. I wonder how many of those people giving testimonials were paid actors (and before anyone calls it, the guy who claims that he'll buy a Kinect specifically to play ME3 is a paid actor for sure). You know what the last cool thing I saw about ME3 was the trailer in which a Thrasher Maw kills a Reaper and my interest in the game is waning fast.
Hmmm...Even assuming it worked that well, I already see several problems.
1. Those guys were using normal voices to give commands. That means that if anyone in the room is talking at a reasonable volume while I'm playing, Kinect is going to pick that up, too.
2. I don't want to annoy the hell out of my friends by talking to the TV while I'm playing. And/or look like an idiot talking to my TV while I'm playing.
3. I actually enjoy pausing the game when I use powers. Allows me to take my time, think things over, examine the battlefield. So even if this worked perfectly, it still wouldn't help me at all.
4. Even if you want your Mass Effect combat to be as quick as possible, pushing a button still takes far less time then saying a word. So no matter how you play Mass Effect, the controller is your best bet.
This product is useless on so many levels. It's kind of mind-blowing.

Well it was a staple of the game to be able to pause, strategize, and sync your attacks with your squad members, but i guess not anymore. sigh.
I'll be waiting for the ultimate golden game of the year addition version. which will actually have all the content in it, rather than having to pre-order from half a dozen different stores, the day one dlc, and the 3 and 6 month dlc that tells the rest of the game's story. You know, like the whole Liara dlc? Or perhaps the intro into ME3 dlc that ME2 had, and so on. yeah I'm just going to watch a lets play of it and burn my copy of ME2.
this series has become the Matrix movie trilogy for me. Liked the first one, and living in denial that the other two movies existed.

i would swear way to much and all the characters would hate me even if i was paying them a compliment. i talk to my self when i play rpgs, and i swear a lot just because i can.Duffeknol said:
OT: i like this, gives the kinect my family got something to do cuz it's just sitting there for now.
Um, why do we need Kinect for that? Can't it be done with a regular headset? This seems like major overkill to me.
Yes; the voice recognition is done entirely by the Kinect, draining no cycles from the Xbox. It also have several microphones, coupled with some audio processing, so that it can isolate the speaker, compensating for background noise and room dynamics.
That is part of the whole idea of the just-you-in-the-middle-of-the-room-without-any-wiring concept, that they modelled the motion control component around.
There is some rather neat and well low-pricepoint-engineered stuff in that thing. Unfortunately they may have targeted it at an unsuitable market, although I can easily imagine a brainstorming meeting, where they struggled to come up with an application and ended up with games as the only one viable.
Too bad that even without the inevitable gimmicky impression, inherent latency issues somewhat nerfs it as a controller for anything fast-paced (at least until the users get well adjusted to having to anticipate the action earlier. EDIT: ...and see between finger with the delay between action and response and which may also require developers to give cues earlier and make them less subtle).
Next thing they will try (...or are trying, I suppose), is control of TV-sets and then; who knows - the current sort of setup will probably only work in a controlled environment, since I expect any other IR light source in the room should mess up the kinect's projected scatter of dots.
I'm still planning to get one, mind - probably one of the new ones, with close-up optics (EDIT: ...which should be able to do a fairly detailed 3D capture of, say, a face - instantly and cheaply).
Ignoring the pitiful attempts to market it as something cool and and trendy, under the hood it consists of some rather nice nerd-shinies, for which there are bedroom developers coming up with various applications; some simply silly excercises, some kind of useful (at least as a proof of concept prototype), such as spatial awareness for robotics and aid for the visually impaired, not to mention the whole motion-capture-on-a-shoestring-budget thing.

Well who will buy Kinect thenIrridium said:
No no, only Kinect can do voice recognition, it is that special.
There is quite an obvious multi second delay on those commands, and make sure the room is absolutely quiet or it will fuck up, so yeah make your games laggy horse shit with Kinect for only 159.99, order now!
