The voice recognition is very good, but im still not sold on the actual gameplay.

I played the beta, it wasn't that great. I know that it wasn't finished, but, it wasn't exactly glitches that were bad. It was the gameplay. I'm used to RTS games like Age of Empire, C&C, Starcraft, and Supreme Commander. The type that are fast. This was slow, and the camera made it hard to know what you were doing. If I play it again, I will just wait for the full one and rent it.

Do you need to pre-program your voice or does it work out of the box?
Cj @ Aug 31st 2008 4:32AM
I think it works outa box but it just warms u up first time around

That's good.I get a lot of shit from both people and computers because of my accent...

No your wrong. It will give you examples of things to say, and you say them clear into the mic, so yea it kinda does. And how do I know, I've played the beta. Best RTS yet, after Chromehounds that is....Muhahaha
But no seriously......

Blue! Blue! I said Blue, not red!

You gotta admit, that's pretty good marketing.

Dave @ Aug 31st 2008 10:56AM
I, for one, welcome our new parrot overlords.

Ladies and gentlemen, this game is for the birds.

Norm McDonald reference?

Yet they are still smarter then most people on Xbox Live.
Psaakyrn @ Aug 31st 2008 4:07PM
That's only because they're in the same room, and hence lose the anonymous citera of the dickward theory.
Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Aug 31st 2008 2:19PM
Hah! What a funny idea. I keep hearing great things about this game's voice recognition, I'm glad they spent so much time on it. Just hope the gameplay lives up; I could totally get into a game like this.
