While FPS games can be played without voice chat the game becomes a whole new thing if you do voice chat with friends.

A bit sad but I met a lot of cool people doing halo randoms.

Yup, The fact that you can't even voice chat with friends is just beyond me. I don't understand why they would cut out something so friggin critical in todays pvp games. It's ridiculous. I can understand not being able to talk to randoms because it could be annoying, but why not friends? How are we supposed to communicate? This has killed some interest I had in this game. I was looking forward to it, but now.. just not as much I suppose.

@Rezalack The source only states that you cannot voice-chat with people you have met in that match. Voice-chat with friends isn't ruled out as far as I know.

Didn't Smash not allow you to voice chat during a battle. Before or after they did, but not during. And wasn't that because of the lag it caused during battles in testing? Couldn't Splatoon be the same thing? Btw, hopefully online is as good or better than MK8 and not like SSB4 because the lag would kill my online interest in the game

I haven't played Smash yet so I wouldn't know. I suppose it could be the same thing, but this is a different kind of game from Smash. I can completely understand Smash not having Voice-Chat and honestly don't even care if it's missing, but if I'm playing a team oriented game, I like to at least have the option of talking to my team. :

Lag is less of a problem for shooters than fighting games. Fighting games are very technical and the smallest amount of lag can destroy your game. In shooters Lag is a less serious problem. I am betting that friend speak will be on but nothing for general public, which is how I play games now anyways.

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

If you guys really feel its a missed opportunity, complain. Let Nintendo know. Facebook, twitter, hell email them, just try to make them aware. If something as simple as moving the replay button to the second option after a Mario Kart 8 race can patched after complaints, they'd probably take this into consideration.

Notice how they tried to integrate some kind of communication. I wouldn't doubt that this is a case of the new blood at Nintendo wanting it and the old suits not wanting to allow it.

@Nicolai Don't worry, don't take that last sentence as serious as the rest of my post. For those who want more people to voice-chat with in Splatoon (if voice-chat is possible with friends), there's plenty of options to find other people to play with. That's what I'm getting at.

Lol, I guess I kinda went a little too far into that. In short, local multiplayer rules.

Even though this doesn't confirm that voice chat with friends is out, based on the wording that's just a translation anyway, I find it odd that they bring up voice chat at all. You'd think that, if voice chat with friends during the match was a feature, they'd announce that first, before a comment about how it's not included in random matching is made. I mean, it would be a new thing for Nintendo, at least for their 1st party games.

Got married.

True, though puppies can't play games...yet. Get on it, mad scientists!

Reason why touch screen gaming is so great. Anything can play games, just can they do it well?

Another idea, clone yourself

Is anyone planning on translating the whole interview? I'd love to read it from the developer's "own words," more or less.

Does that last part confitm DLC? Seems like patching in reasonable criticism is definitely a possibility now.

Either that, or they mean that they'll continue to work to fix bugs, or that they'll run some sort of monthly contest. Probably DLC, though.

Smash U has excellent online, if all players have good (full duplex) wired connections.

I will be very disappointed if this doesn't have at least a friends only chat option. Mass Effect 3's multiplayer had it for crying out loud. I just wanted to play online with you guys from the Nintendo Life community.

I wonder if Devil's third will have voice chat,what am i saying?That game looks like it will have everything,that every online shooter has.

The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

I think Splatoon's scores are really going to go under if they don't include voice chat in some capacity. I just can't imagine this game lasting long without it.

I can't imagine the game being fun with it. I mean, fun for normal human beings who don't take pleasure out of annoying the living hell out of everyone around them.

Because that's all we're gonna get even if we did have it.

to be honest, even decent people just have the worst sounding voice (worse than how they normally talk IRL) during most online games I've ever been on.
