I have never really been into online multiplayer much, the height of which was probably back in the original X-Box days when I owned all 3 consoles and would play Midtown Madness 3 and Wolfenstein none stop.
These days I own just a PS3 and to be drawn into playing games online I have to quite heavily into the game. The only ones I have put any note worthy online playtime on currently being Tekken 6 followed by now Transformers: War for Cybertron.
But I noticed hardly anyone uses voice chat at all. Playing Tekken about 1 in 50 people I played against had voice enabled, and with WFC about 1 person in every second match up has it.
So why do so few people use voice chat on PSN online play? do others find the same thing? and is this only a trend limited too PSN or does the same happen on XB360? I know back when I played the original XB virtually all the players had voice enabled.
But the lack of people using voice for PSN online games makes it almost impossible for playing games which rely heavily on team work. Maybe its just the games I play? ok, I wasnt too surprised to find few who play Tekken online had voice enabled, as there is not much to talk about unless you simply want to talk trash to your opponent. But having now clocked up alot of time on Transformers online, the same trend is just as apparent.
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.
