remember that rumour that said that there would be no voice control for Kinect on launch?,it was said in Germany at the Gamescom...well,from their view looks like its right
It's not just Europe being left out, either. The only languages (or, in two cases, accents) Kinect will support in November will be English (USA), English (UK), Japanese and Mexican Spanish. Everyone else, even Canadians and presumably Aussies and Kiwis as well, will have to wait until an update in Spring 2011 (or, for Antipodeans, Autumn 2011).
and can you speak Fluent English but live in a European country?...yeah,still wont work for you
QUOTE
The kicker is that even if you live in those places and speak fluent English, it still won't work, as your Kinect will be locked to the same region as your Xbox 360.
remember people having problems with the D-Pad on the 360 controller(mainly people who play Fighting games)
well,Microsoft have redesigned the controller,so now you twist the D-pad so that it rises above that circular barrier,and the directions on the D-Pad become more pronounced
however,it seems Microsoft can't do anything right...sure they fix the D-Pad,but now they get rid of the colours on the A,B,X, and Y buttons
the colours help me when i am doing some fast button presses...in fact i don't really 'listen' to the A,B,Y and X...i see red,i know where to press i see yellow....i press the top button
anyway,its going to be $64.99 with a plug and play charge kit from 9th November
check out Major Nelsons video on how that revolving D-pad works
i may be fucking off soon anyway,as i have had enough of it....as said in another link,my last online game was Medal Of Honor beta nearly 40 days ago
if say BF3 was out,and i was on it everyday then fair enough...but i have just started to pay monthly as well,instead of yearly,as i just don't play online anymore
i think Microsoft must have some self destruct button this year,everything they have done has been pants
The 360 is getting a decently sized update this Fall,to coincide with Kinect,as well as the Kinect features our Avatars will also be updated...and the Audio over Xbox Live
The quality of sound that comes through Xbox 360 headsets will be significantly improved when Microsoft updates the Xbox 360 this Fall.
The refresh, designed to coincide with the launch of Kinect, will upgrade the codec and audio infrastructure that underpins the quality of voice communication from Xbox 360 to Xbox 360, and should make for clear chat between gamers when they play online, Xbox Live Studios boss Jerry Johnson said at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival this afternoon.
"The codec we used when we first launched was a low bit rate codec and we stuck with that," Johnson explained.
"We launched and we said we required broadband. We required a 64k connection, which not many people think of as broadband any longer. But that was the minimum requirement to run the service at the time.
"It's time for us to move on. Especially if we want to think about broadening - a crackly headset on the top of your head – not what people think of when they talk about popular entertainment."
Microsoft introduced voice communication to the original Xbox with the November 2002 launch of Xbox Live.
The quality of sound has long been the focus of complaints from gamers, particularly those who favour team based multiplayer titles.
Some even prefer to use voice over internet protocol Skype to ensure every word is heard.
could this be one of the things Xbox Live 1 was sacrificed for?
