Kane99 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 What are some games that utilize voice? Games like Phasmophobia and In Silence got me wondering about voice themed games, where you use your voice to achieve a goal. But, I'm mainly looking for retro games that had voice options. I remember on the 360 there was a game you could play using voice controls. I think it was that Halo RTS that came out, but I forget. I know the Famicom in Japan had a controller with a mic that could be used in some games. But what are some obscure games that worked with your voice? I am drawing a blank on any other games.

Withywarlock Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Tom Clancy's Endwar had voice commands which were rudimentary but I don't ever recall them hearing a command incorrectly. It was marginally faster than using a controller or key commands, especially when you had to know what the commands were in the first place. A shame such a feature existed in a game that left a lot to be desired, in its camera controls more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If I'm not mistaken Skyrim VR also has some voice commands but I don't know too many games that make use of this feature. As a matter of fact, we have yet to see a game that makes it a necessary feature or make it an integral part of the gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 There was a couple games on NES that were compatible with voice command. I think one was Top Gun. I know it was a flight game and it was supposed to respond different commands, but every word you spoke made the guns fire. It wasn't the best setup, but it was entertaining to say the least. And at that time, pretty damn innovative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was one of the first on the 360 around the time kinect came out, right? I never played it though. 2 hours ago, The Blackangel said: There was a couple games on NES that were compatible with voice command. I think one was Top Gun.

Tom Clancy's Endwar was released exactly two years before the Xbox Kinect came out, but yes it was on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. ^^ Edited January 25, 2021 by Withywarlock Kane99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
