I was reading one of the reviews of GeoW over at GameDaily and I discovered something so suttle and awesome that I’m supprised it hasn’t been mentioned on the other reviews so I figured i’d highlight it so you guys don’t miss it.
There’s also something to be said about the teamwork that involves contact. The game will make use of microphone support, so you can shout commands amongst your team and keep in constant contact, and the voice recognition system and real-time lip syncing promise to keep the communication as smooth as possible, all while it actually looks like you’re screaming to your team instead of just keeping a stiff face. Leave it to Epic to implement little details like that and make them shine that much more.
So it appears we’re gonna get Voice control of our team kinda like Army of Two… although no mention of cussing at each other like in Army of Two… but then again AOT doesn’t have the lip syncing or atleast i haven’t heard of it in AOT. The lipsyncing and voice control should really make Gears of War even more awesome, it’s just another aspect to make the game killer! The preview of GeoW at GameDaily is awesome so give it read through cause it’s pretty in depth (still no laser platform pictures :()
