Mass Effect 3 uses Kinect for voice recognition
by Steve Watts, Jun 06, 2011 10:00am PDTConfirming earlier rumors, BioWare's Ray Muzika appeared on stage during the Microsoft press briefing to announce that the Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 3 will support Kinect, in the form of voice commands.
The brief demo showed voice support for dialogue trees and combat commands. The player would say the dialogue prompt (rather than selecting it) and then have Shepard say his line of dialogue. In battle, Shepard told his forces to move and execute biotics with voice recognition. Muzika promised more ME3 details to come during the EA press briefing.
The conference is still underway, Shacknews will update this post as more information is made available.

IIRC you could even select the next option while waiting for the other person to finish talking (if you knew what you wanted to say already) so you didn't have to wait and the conversations flowed faster. With voice recognition you couldn't really listen to them while talking over them so you'd have to wait till they finished (if you are actually playing for the story, and most ME players probably are) and then give your command. Over all it just slows the process down and breaks the flow.
Further more, I don't want to hear my voice interjected between the other characters and Shepard. It ruins the immersion. It's almost like listening to someone commenting on everything while watching a movie. I don't even want to hear my own voice calling out combat commands. I want to feel like I am there, not once removed, and while they may think this puts you in there more, IMO it takes you out.
