Look Who’s Talking Now: Gears of War

Well it looks like there is going to be a pretty cool feature in Gears of War that has been pretty much overlooked or not talked about much as of yet. The feature as GameDaily reports deals with voice chat and the way the characters in the game lip sync to the words spoken from the microphone. This is what they had to say from their latest preview:

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.

The lip-syncing feature may be small compared to the gigantic guns and destruction going on everywhere inside the game, but it’s the small things like this that really get the player sucked in to the gaming experience. We’ll find out how this cool feature holds up when Gears of War stampedes to the 360 later this year.
