I've been messing around with my brand new PS4 for a couple of weeks now and I'm mostly enjoying the general UI experience. However one way in which the PS4 does lag behind the Xbox One in my household at least is the lack of voice and camera inputs. I've grown so used to bossing my Xbox One around with voice that not having those inputs for my TV, PC and other consoles has started to feel really clumsy. The camera side on the Kinect hasn't maybe been as useful as the voice stuff, but signing in through face recognition, having the console automatically assign controllers to player accounts with the camera and things like that have been really handy.
So all this has left me considering a purchase of the PlayStation Camera. However I haven't heard many people talking about the benefits of owning the PS Camera and none of my friends have bought one so I haven't been able to test it out at all myself. I'm really irritated by the controller lights on the DualShock 4 because I have a glossy TV, but I'm hoping that the camera could somehow justify the existence of these lights. Are there any games outside of The Playroom which use the camera? How does the camera compare to the new Kinect? And most importantly, how well do the voice commands work on the PS4? Can I start up, shut down, switch between applications and so on with relative ease?
Hopefully some of you can share your experiences on the PlayStation Camera and I'm especially interested in hearing from people who have been using both the camera and Kinect for the Xbox One. Thanks in advance for your input duders!
