Voice controls still work, even if the developer utilizes the resources allocated for Kinect.

Microsoft has already pointed this out.


I thought they said system-level commands, like xbox record that, xbox switch to etc. but not in-game commands if they decide too use the extra power

Everything I have read says that voice commands still work, just not motion.  All the compuational reserves were doing was skeleton tracking your body so that if you needed to do a motion command, it was ready.  Voice commands are a whole different animal.  You can do voice commands with a head set if you want to, all you need is a microphone.  It is just a matter of developers implementing the feature...


It may be possible, but it's NOT implemented currently.  You HAVE to use Kinect for voice commands.  Yes, I am sure that the developers COULD re-write the code to get it to work (after all, Sony made it work), but you have ZERO chance of seeing that, as MS loves their Kinect, and the stuffed suits won't back down on their position that it's needed for voice commands.
