Not exactly. I'm pretty sure games/gaming consoles are able to remember fights and progression in story lines. Even the DS can do this. The Wii U could most likely handle something like this very easily.
Besides, the Wii U isn't a "relatively weak" console.

If voice recognition is so simple then why does Siri run off of a server farm?
And yes the wii u is relatively weak compared to say an i5 3770k.
|
So what if Siri uses a server farm? Many things use voice recognition other than Siri. I doubt it's that hard.

*smh*
Do you have any technical knowledge of voice recognition? It is incredibly difficult. Please don't just guess at things.
|
Um, this whole debate is pointless since voice recognition is not a good description of Siri, only a small part. Siri is a conversational search engine that utilizes voice recognition. All of the behind the scenes 'magic' that happens after the voice is recognized is what's hard, voice recognition has been around a long time. So no, a natural conversation as described in the 3rd post on page 1 is not possible if only processed on the Wii U (or any other inexpensive hardware), but more limited things that are still neat could be done. On the other hand, if it utilized a cloud based system similar to Siri, it could theoretically be done.

I guess I should have been saying speech recognition, as in understanding the sentence structure at the same time instead of just recognising a voice. Still, it's not a fast process.
Using a cloud system is very viable but costly. Maybe if a company made the cloud system for multiple games to use that is when it could financially become viable.

Agreed. What I'm talking about is not understanding structure, but picking out 2-3 key words and playing a pre-recorded response based on that. Much, much simpler than full conversation but could work well in some games. "Where would you like to go, sir?" "Take me back to the damn bat cave". The system only has to pick out the phrase 'bat cave' or whatever other destination there might be, then play back one of several pre-recorded responses and execute the command.
Edit: Also, since it's a game, the voice commands could be contextual, meaning there may not be many responses needed for a given situation (especially if the gamepad is asking you a question). "Which weapon would you like to upgrade?" only has a finite number of keywords in responses.
