I need to get off my high horse because I don't give a crap about talking to my PlayStation?
I really don't see why gamers have been so damn opposed to things like this. It's not like things like the Kinect 2.0 and PlayStation Camera to control the interface are ruining the gaming experiences. Using motion gestures and voice control is a hell of a lot more convenient to navigate than using the Xbox Controller or DualShock. And unlike what Microsoft was doing with the Kinect with the Xbox 360, it's not like Sony and Microsoft are shoving their camera peripherals down the throats of our gaming experiences.I need to get off my high horse because I don't give a crap about talking to my PlayStation?

Such criticisms towards these peripherals have been far less substantive than the criticisms that were around when the PlayStation Move and original Kinect and feel more like the smug elitist attitude that resists any bit of change that has been plaguing the gaming industry for the past couple of years.

if you think about it. using your arms to control an interface is actually going backwards as humans since our hands and fingers evolve for precise work. if you play street fighter 4 with the Kinect against someone with a controller, chances are that you're going to lose badly. I remember I bought a motion TV controller for my brother, he could change the channels just by swinging the controller from left to right, but it's much easier and more efficient, and more simple by just pushing the buttonsYeah, I have no issue with it being an option, but if possible don't force it in as a necessary option and let the consumers decide if they want to go that route. Microsoft is trying to cram in Kinect hoping it will force developers to make a kickass game for it. Why doesn't Microsoft make an amazing Kinect game themselves and showcase how it can deliver more than shovelware?
Well obviously most games aren't going to work with motion controls. For a lot of genres it just doesn't work and most developers don't even want to take in the time or effort to innovate with them for the genres where they can work. Kinect and the PlayStation Move proved that.if you think about it. using your arms to control an interface is actually going backwards as humans since our hands and fingers evolve for precise work. if you play street fighter 4 with the Kinect against someone with a controller, chances are that you're going to lose badly.

I've played around with the voice controls on my Android phone and never had a problem with them. I tried out my sister's Siri and never encountered any problems either.The idea of voice control is good in theory but that thing never works out for me personally. Siri for example (which is supposed to be super advanced) is always misinterpreting what I say so it ends up being a crapshoot. Using a controller almost always works. A controller also works better for manipulating a menu than hands. Id prefer to use something that almost always works over something that sometimes does.

t: Well according to that Microsoft guy you'll be able to connect your PS4 to your XB1's HDMI in and play Killzone & Halo at the same time.So PlayStation on Xbox? Smart TV? Ipad?
I wouldn't worry too much about that..no way they'd enforce it on everyone.a closer look at the PS4 UI:

I like it overall.
but I really hope you aren't forced to use/display your real name and/or your picture.
I get to see in 2 days time. Can't wait!I want this to be set up in a store soon so I can go get my hands on it.
