A fascinating read. It inspired me to look further into the StarCraft voice integration. Other games have tried it, using voice commands to direct computer companions as an additional layer of realism. But I’m not aware of any game that’s done it well. Might be nice for applications like picking from a long list, sometimes “build unit X” is way faster than paging through buttons, but again we have keyboard shortcuts for that. Keyboard shortcuts wouldn’t work for dynamic menus though, and voice commands do.
Sorry for the stream of consciousness.
If somebody could summarise it for me that would be great. I don’t really care enough to watch it myself, but I’ll want to be in the loop enough to know what people are talking about when they reference it.
