Hey duders,

I'm aware that the Dualshock 4 has a microphone on it, so, in order to perform the voice commands, would one need the camera? Or is the input through the controller?

Thanks.

That's an interesting question. I know that on PS3, my camera and my Xbox360 USB Rockband microphone both work for voice chat in games. A quick search shows that even bluetooth headsets work as microphones in Rockband on PS3.(edit: maybe not. I'm seeing conflicting reports) This makes me believe that all microphones that work on PS3 work interchangeably. I wouldn't be surprised if this type of functionality carried forward to the PS4 and you were allowed to use voice navigation via any microphone.

Pretty sure Kinect was required for voice navigation on 360 just because MS wanted you to buy the peripheral, and not because the controller mic couldn't handle it.

Gamespot tested it on their stream, you don't need the camera to use the voice commands. Voice commands with the camera seemed to work worse than with the mic actually.
