@sergiodaly if people buy the kinect just for voice control in ME3 they are stupid.... I mean who in the bunch of people who don't already have it would change their mind just for that even if well implemented..... and about the size of the file there is a difference between voice recognition to writte a text and doing the same to give orders and I doubt when you are texting you have massive explosion and laser blast going off around you in 5.1????

and even if the file is 1mb it doesn't mean it doesn't take time and money to compile..... especially to have compatibility with a lot of different hardware..... then again the mic on cellphones are of way better quality on todays phone than most mics on headsets....

@oblivion exactly voice control and even gesture should be added to a lot of RPGs..... especially turned based.... switch weapon, switch spells etc.... I can see that in dragon age, asking to be heald by a specific character, ask them to cast specific spells in specific order, adopt a new tactic.
in turned based make combat more exciting.... you drop the controler and your gesture and voice take over.....

noise cancelation... is easy...
of course no one will buy it just for that... but MS (like any other company) is trying to put every single little thing in the scale to convince people to buy their products... i didnt say MS was doing it wrong... i was saying that i spot their attempt with this one!

also didnt say that this was as easy as in other platforms and that kinect didn´t help... i just point it out that is easy... maybe not as easy but never the less... easy!
