It’s just a shame that beyond switching games (providing they’re on the hard drive and you don’t need to change discs), power settings and taking screenshots, the voice commands don’t do much else. From testing with the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes demo and the full game, I found that it essentially goes straight to the last one you played, and that it had a hard time picking up the “demo” on the end. What is interesting is how it differentiates between demos and sequels with similar names. On occasion I found myself having to repeat what I had said – in a less Scottish accent than I normally use – and you’ll often have to use the full phrase, such as “Enter Standby Mode” instead of just “standby”, but it does a good job of taking you to the right game depending on what you say. You won’t be able to turn it on from standby, as you can with the Xbox One, but switching between games becomes very easy when all you have to do is say “PlayStation: home screen, Resogun, start, OK” to go back to the home screen, choose the game, select to start it and then confirm that you want to close the current title you were playing.Īnd, for the most part, it picks up what you’re saying. There’s definitely a novelty in speaking to your console, which you’ll do by first saying “PlayStation” (or tapping L2 on the home screen) and then speaking one of the highlighted, on-screen commands, but you can’t use it exclusively to navigate the console. However, that experience is one which isn’t quite as fleshed out or as clever as it could be. It’s naturally much easier to shout in the general direction of the camera than into an earpiece, but it offers largely the same experience. You see, it’s not the camera that does that – it’s just using microphone – but rather the PS4, and you can even use the bundled in mono headset for these controls. One of the greatest things that this new camera brings is a form of voice commands, although that’s not strictly true.
