Xbox One will not only use Kinect for voice commands, but the camera will also talk to you and let you know if there is someone in the room it doesn’t recognize, and will ask the person to identify themselves.

According to source speaking with Polygon, the new person identified will then have their identity saved to the console, and then will be “welcomed” by the system.

Think of the ability for Kinect to talk in a similar fashion to Siri on iPhone or Kitt on Knight Rider. Hopefully, not as annoyingly sarcastic though.

The system’s voice capabilities may not be available at launch, as Microsoft may opt to patch it in later.

Xbox One will also feature remote play, according to the source. For instance: you are having a tough time killing a boss, you just Skype with a friend who has rad skillz, and then they can take over for you in your game and kill the boss for you.

A demonstration of the feature, the source said, showed a message on screen asking if it was okay for the person they were Skyping with to take over in the game. The initial player was then able to watch the new player take matters into their own hands. Both could end remote play just by pressing a button.

The source said the demo was shown via two console connected locally, yet was told Microsoft isn’t worried over any latency issues.

Microsoft has yet to respond to the report on these features.

PS4 will also feature remote play via Gaikai, to do essentially the same thing, as well as take your game on the road through Vita.

I haven't really heard about Ps4 doing this 'til now either. Is Vita's remote play essentially the same thing? Can A friend access your ps4 with their Vita from their home?

Edit: Here's the onions take on xbox one's voice command capabilities!

LOL at the first part... I can just imagine the look on someone's face when they walk into their friends or relatives living room and the first thing they heard is "unidentified presence detected" or even better "intruder alert".

I know, I guess the rumor of xbox keeping track of people in the living room is true. I wonder if the voice will be female, I would prefer my console's voice to be female!

"For instance: you are having a tough time killing a boss, you just Skype with a friend who has rad skillz, and then they can take over for you in your game and kill the boss for you."

Finally somebody will play my games while I sit doing nothing!

Creepy ...

The amount of times that I foresee asking someone else to take over my game is less than zero.

That would be hilarous.

"This is the Xbox Security, Identify yourself! Leave the Premises Now!"

It will then proceed to 3D Print a Gun and Challenge you to a Duel.

The current Kinect will identify and log people in, so this sounds like an expansion of the current system. This new Kinect sounds truly revolutionary.

But the remote play sounds cool - especially when you are stuck! The differences between the two new systems get smaller and smaller.

I like the idea of remote access, I wish I could do that right now with Monster Hunter on Wii U!! I really suck at that game.

Kinect: I have indentified another person in the room, 45$ have been charged to your credit card, enjoy  your playing session.

LMAO!!!!
