Kinect voice recognition will be limited to four territories until 2011 |
Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: kinect, Microsoft, news, xbox 360 titles
Apart from gestures and body movement, Kinect also relies on voice recognition and commands for input. The thing is, the system will only recognize your voice if you're from the US, the United Kingdom, Japan, or Mexico. For everyone else, Kinect will not understand a darn thing you're saying.
What makes this setup even worse is that Kinect will be region-locked to the same region as your Xbox 360. The lock basically keeps people from activating the voice recognition feature if they're not in the US, UK, Japan, or Mexico. How well you speak English will not matter.
Eurogamer reports that upon Kinect's launch this November, the device will only understand US English, British English, Japanese, and Mexican Spanish - each tied to their respective regions. The Canadians, the French, the Germans, and everyone else will have to wait until 2011 when succeeding updates provide additional language support.

i pretty sure canada and america are in the same region. it's still really stupid that they would region lock the device like that. i mean what do they intend that people do when a game uses voice recog like that fighting game that's coming out for it??
