Voice chat on Nintendo Switch

>>378824893
Nintendo was shortsighted, and their solution is a piece of shit that will be rendered useless once a new revision comes out.

Once again confirming that you should NEVER invest in the hardware early.

>Wanting to talk to people online

For what purpose?

>>378824973
PS3 had bluetooth, as well. That launched in 2006, and if you bought the disk version of Warhawk in 2007, you got a free bluetooth earpiece with it.

terrible
will probably end up buying the console but only because the concept of being able to play monster hunter at above 400p

>>378825768
Isn't Monster Hunter coming to PS4, too?

>playing online with consoles
>using voice chat with randos

Why?

>>378825926

Pretty sure Monster Hunter 5 is coming to PS4. It's even rumored that it might be exclusive to the PS4.

>>378826397
I don't use any of those things. I don't even know what most of them are.

>>378826397
One is a niche VR headset. The first ever on consoles. A completely unusual and specific device most people don't care for.

The other is fucking chat. Something that has been done since the Dreamcast, and pretty much perfected on consoles a decade ago with 7th gen. It shouldn't be this retarded on the Switch.

>>378824973
Dosn't include the online subscription required to even do anything that would need voice chat.

>>378826519
The headset has one set of cables, which plug into the output cables that go to the box. The box plugs into the PS4 to receive video feed and USB to register as a controller/input device. The power cord powers the box.

And the headphones connect somewhere. The Headset, I think.

It's fucking abysmal and one of the many things keeping me from purchasing a switch.

>>378824893
>>378824973
Why did they choose do do this? Is it because the Switch can't handle playing games and doing voice chat at the same time?
>>378826397
>comparing something as simple as voice chat to a brand new technology
wew lad nice bait, I think VR is a gimmick but you can't compare voice chat to VR kek

>>378826753
Ok. So she's comparing the first VR headset to ever release to technology that has been widely available on all other consoles since 2005 for the Xbox 360, and 2006 for the PS3?

Kind of seems like apples and oranges to me.

>>378826858
>to ever release
Meant "to ever release on console."

where source

>>378826397
>comparing a total different metod to play with a shit metod for a mic.

>>378826460

Where's the source?

>>378826858
Yeah, but not to mention the reason why no one ever talks shit about it is because the price tag makes it more of a niche purchase than a mass market one. It's a novelty whereas voice chat looks like it is, but technically isn't.

what a fucking useless feature

>>378827632
See my post here: >>378826460
Specifically:
>It's even rumored that it might be exclusive to the PS4.

Why would you ever fucking voice chat in a game? Has anyone ever had a positive fucking experience with it?

>children screaming bad words to be cool
>faggot playing bong rip sounds/actually smoking weed into the mic so everyone knows how cool he is for smoking weed
>listening to someone's girlfriend break up with him in real time while he plays a game
>faggot playing his own music loudly in the background

The first thing I do when I buy a game with online multiplayer is disable all voice-related features.

>>378824893
Is that a Splatoon 2 audio splitter?

>>378827934
That's how you have chat on the Switch.

>>378827917
I don't typically play online, but back when I did, it was a great time to just shoot the shit with people, get a group that met up and chatted whenever.

If I still played online, I would want chat.

Oh its posted again

Communication in co-op ideally helps you coordinate your team better.

How about the CEO of Capcom explicitly talking about pushing MonHun in the West more during the same conversation talking about how huge the PS4 is in the West.

That a reliable enough source for you?

>>378829292
yeah
they made a movie

>>378827917
the only reason why i have 1333 hours in dota 2 is because of the ability to voice chat with 4 other morons about stupid shit
