Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Get the facts: Xbone Voice Commands Only in US, UK, CA, FR, and DE at Launch (Update: MS Reponse)

ethomaz on 29 August 2013

Xbox voice commands will not be available in all markets on the product release date. Voice commands will be available at launch in US, UK, CA, FR, and DE.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/get-the-facts?xr=shellnav

But the issue with other countries was the localization of voice commands... so this fact just killed that other news: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=167098 or we will just just five countries launch.

Damit.

UPDATE: MS Response.

Albert Penello replay at GAF.

I was looking for a good animated gif of someone rubbing their forehead sadly. If anyone has one, please let me know so I can add it. Where do you guys find those things?!

Let me say a couple things.

First - this wasn't my understanding, and to keep the meme going, I'm going to walk over to the engineers and ask them what's going on.

Second - I did say, very clearly and with no double-talk, that when you hear or read externally us say "localization related", it means voice, text, and other testing and certification related to Live and the Marketplace. That's honestly about as clear as you could be.

Third - it's also possible that I can be wrong sometimes.

I will find out the truth, and get back to you. If this turns out to be correct (which I don't think it is), then you absolutely have my apologies if anyone was mislead.

The "6" confused me, turns out it's from the annotation number.

Anyway, that's lame. It's meant to be a selling point and justify the €100 difference.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

I did copy/paste from the original text and the 6 came along.

wasnt the reason they are launching in just 13 countries because of voice commands?

Looks like you added the 6 to the quote from the website. All it does is confirm that Voice commands will for sure be available at launch in US, UK, CA, FR and DE. It does not say which of the launch countries will not have voice support at launch. Don't twist the fine print on a website and confirm it as fact.

Also why did you put "Damint" in your post? If you could point me to where I could buy the most awesome of all mint I would be much obligated. Thank you.

 

Edit: Just saw your post "I did copy/paste from the original text and the 6 came along." My bad.

It was and I will copy my old comment about that one

That excuse lies when you have one supported country and another not supported that uses the same language lol.

Read the second post in this thread... the reply from the MS guy that said the voice command was the the reason for the delay... he will check internally at MS but he things or the article is wront or he got the info wrong.

Kind of a rip off for those in other countries who are expected to pay a premium price due to Kinect, but can't even access all of its features
