Wait, the PS4's Camera Will Enable Navigational Voice Commands?

It deosn't suprise me this news.. Sony have talked about this for years. I wouldn't use it myself tho as Id look like a twonk talking to my TV, Plus theres no guaruntee that it would be 100% accurate. The only time voice commands have worked well for me was when playing Socom on Ps2.

Meh, I won't use any of this I prefer navigate through the XMB by myself instead of start talking to my TV.

The multiple microphones on the camera were spoken of at the PlayStation meeting back in February.

Kinda interesting bit I doubt It'd be any good. Even Google now is annoying to use so I really doubt Sony is any closer to a really good voice recognition software. Also the fact that's it feels kinda pointless for navigation.

Are we still supposed to believe that the Eye wasn't originally planned to be in the box and Sony took it out later on - just before E3 - to get the PS4 price down?

Anyway, heres some relevant light Ray Bradbury reading.

@rjejr Jack confirmed that they removed it a few weeks prior to E3 in an IGN interview during E3 week. I guess he heard about all of the idiots thinking they made the decision after Microsoft revealed the Xbones price.

so if this is true that means the PS4 will do everything that the XB1 can do and still be cheaper

if so then there would be no point in owning a XB1 at all, unless your a die hard Halo fan (and to be honest i like the series but i can live without it)

I knew the camera was capable of doing this and much more, and I'm sure the PS4 can do more of what the Xbox One can do. I bet the PS4 is capable of doing what the XB1 does with switching between gaming and TV etc.

People i talked to didn't believe me that the PS Camera was capable of doing what the kinect does. I wonder how they feel now. This info does not surprise me at all, the old PS eye was capable of this, but just not as good, (actually i'm not even sure how well it worked, I have never seen it in action) and the features were never used.

@FullbringIchigo Same.

@Lelouch - Thanks for that info. I never knew they admitted it. I knew they didn't do it last minute - large corporations are incapable of making last minute decisions - but I thought the company line was that it was never intended to be a part of the package, even after the Feb. reveal and all the PS4 photos had the Eye next to it and the mM sculpting demo and Playroom included w/ the PS4. All I ever wanted to hear was - "we planned on including it, but changed our mind and took it out".

I stopped reading IGN many years ago (maybe after they got bought?) so I must have missed it.

Just imagine if Vita had its own Siri

@ObviouslyAdachi I wish the Maps app at least had a voice navigator, like a GPS. Works perfectly (if you get the 3G Data plan) when driving around. It even knows the exact direction you're facing too.
I think the Vita could easily get voice recognition, it would just have to be open in it's own app or something.

I love Sony's approach to this at the moment. Yeah, ours does that too, without any real information or demonstrations. Just enough to take the wind out of Kinect's sails.

Bravo sony bravoooo!!!! I knew there was more to the camera than meets the PS Eye lol XD, this thing is probably a good step up from the kinnect, and maybe 30-45% bellow KINNECT 2.0! And ppl had doubts just because of how small it is,! glad i intended of getting it since feb 20th!!! I feel it will help me get that full new gen PlayStaion vibe u guys are trying to spread!Glad i bought it!!! =,)
