    wow great idea, imagine if those cats who play pro starcraft could use voice commands, i wonder would it make it quicker?

  • jack_klugman #3 4 years ago

    I wonder how the game goes about defining tags for specific enemies and objectives and how those tags are presented to the player.

    The game could verry easely number any enemys that you come acorss automaticly, but how that does work for locations?? Do I need to asign tags to them? Is there a limmited amount? Are they pre tagged? What if I want to go somewhere that doesn't have tag?

    Would have been nice to have seen some of that in the video.

    The Enemies are numbered 1 to 12 the same as your troops. When you see them on the sitrep, they'll have their number, so you can tell your unit to "attack hostile X"

    Objectives are all Phoenetic alphabet (I think), which means it makes it easier for it to register. Thinks like Alpha, Sierra, India.

    Also, the voice control is VERY good, worked perfectly even with the noise at Leipzig. It's really a matter of how well the rest of the game plays as to whether I'll get it.

    Strictly, you will need to use the controller occasionally, if you want to move your troops somewhere that isn't an objective or enemy, you've need to move the cursor with the right stick and say "move to target".

    erm, no dear. at the speed of vocalising a command.
    anyway, this does look superb. but shame its not a proper Odama tribute and has forgotten the giant pinball.
