the file size is way bigger than the JP demo! 1.65GB!
Weird, the PS3 demo is just a bit over 800MB.
I tried messing around with the voice recognition test in the menu and i don't know if it's my shitty pronunciation (not an native english speaker) or the headset, but word recognition was very spotty. I'm using Sony's original PS3 headset and at first i thought that perhaps the volume was set too low, so i put it to max, but the game still wouldn't recognize many of the lines/commands. It was comically selective about it, for instance, it would recognize some longer words/lines, but not short ones like "Fuck", "Shit" and "Damn". Even not being a native speaker, i would like to believe that i know how to pronounce those correctly. Granted, i did lower the recognition score setting, which might have contributed to it, but i only did that because it would hardly register anything in the first place. I would get a pretty high score on some words, while most of the other ones wouldn't register at all. After i lowered the setting the number of recognized commands improved dramatically, but i found it puzzling that the game still wouldn't recognize a bunch of monosyllabic words.
Did anyone else have to fiddle around with the settings, or did you achieve good results right out of the gate?
