There Came an Echo's Voice Commands Sure Look Convincing

@joshwent: I want this game if I am always directly controlling 1 character. That way it acts more like a squad leader position, than a micro-managing commander role.

That tech is impressive, but I'm always left thinking (fully aware of the thousands of hours of sweat and tears that surely went into these revolutionary new voiced control schemes)... isn't just clicking a button still better?

The problem with voice recognition games is that they often dont work that well if people have accents or if english isnt their native language.

Also I dont really want to speak all of the time that I am playing a game. It could get pretty exhausting.

More into the soundtrack than I am the game.

@morningstar: It's a super-cool concept, but this is one where you really need to see the product for yourself. If it's a console game, it might using Sony's and Microsoft's built in voice recognition tools, and those probably work better than the Microsoft Voice stuff Bot Colony was using. I'm guessing those tools let you limit the vocabulary so that the voice recognition only needs to know a few hundred words at most, not the full universe of words Microsoft Voice needs to understand.

If it works, this could be pretty awesome.

Seems cool if it works.. but it also -looks- a bit like a less inspired / more generic version of transistor.

Cool concept.
