We all know the real reason. Money exchanged hands. Microsoft wants people to buy Kinect, even though the tech used here doesn't need it, though the average jock probably doesn't know that.

I do think if they're going to implement this, it better ALSO work without the kinect.
Every Xbox COMES WITH A HEADSET. It means the user can input voice commands, and since the game has to read them anyways . . .
Although maybe the Kinect has built in hardware that accomplishes that with less work on BioWare's part?
If that's the case . . . then yeah, what about the PC version? Will that be more work for BioWare to implement? Or is there Kinect Code (hereafter referred to as Kinect Kode in honor of Mortal Kombat) that you'll have to download/install onto Windows to get this functionality to work?

Seems to be just the same as "Tom Clancy's End War". Can use the mic if wanted but don't NEED to

I was trying to say in my last comment that it was said at the end of the Kinect demo that you can use either the controller or Kinect.

I give it 2-3 months before some person mods this onto the PC version. If the files are on the disc, and there is away around the kinect bs, than I see a mass effect 3 voice mod. HOWEVER, if it requires hardware modding of a kinect camera, than I guess a PC mod is unlikely..
Bioware is starting to become a console company =(... First dragon age 2 crap, now mass effect 3 console exclusive crap =(
Well, Elder Scrolls you are winning for now!

Windows is Microsoft Game Studio's bastard child that they try to forget about. They've treated PC gamers like crap since the 360 launched so I don't see why people are surprised.

There are still many things exclusive to pc games that consoles will never have. I don't even care really since i game on all platforms. My only thought is that the hole kinect feature should be scrapped altogether. It is not needed for any reason. pc and ps3 would still use keyboard / controller and mic so why shouldn't the xbox. I would prefer it this way over the kinect

Yeah, the main point of the Kinect is movement and motion gaming. Plus ITS THE SAME FRIGGIN COMPANY!

I highly doubt it will happen with just an ordinary microphone. But, it could be possible to use Kinect on the PC somehow. Maybe, if it can happen, that will be how it will be done. Otherwise, I don't see it happening.

I wish they wouldn't stoop to implementing silly gimmicks like this, merely for the sake of making use of the XBox Kinect.

i strongly disapprove of these discrimination gimmicks, off cause its possible to add Mic function to the PC, Off cause its not a technological nightmare,
Bioware can do it, and it would be a real neat thing if they implemted it into the PC

Starting? You do remember that ME1 was originally a 360 exclusive right?

Everyone hates it and everyone knows that Bioware and Microsoft will spin that PR machine to say that only Kinect can handle it because of it's "hardware". Microsoft wants money from more Kinect sales (didn't you see how hard they and other conferences were pushing kinect usage?) so they probably paid a good deal for an "exclusive".
We'll just have to accept it and move on. But look on the bright side! You can now manage to walk in on a friend that uses it and catch them in the act of professing their undying love to their love interest (provided there's an I love you or similar line). Then just point and laugh.
I expect humorous youtube clips.

One thing that's being forgotten...
That is why voice recognition came with Kinect. We had the microphone, true. But the mic doesn't do the voice recognition itself, it needed the engine that Kinect provided to make that leap to voice recognition. And voice recognition software isn't all the same, so a program that works for Kinect doesn't mean it would work for PC. Bioware would have to create (or implement) a different voice recognition engine to make that work.
Don't get me wrong, there is total PR in this decision. These are money-making companies we're talking about. I'm just saying things are not as simple and ya' all are making it out to be.
Although I still want voice commands on my PC Mass Effect 3.

They don't need to waste time implementing it.
It's bad enough they went through the trouble developing the game to make use of the XBox Kinect.
Two wrongs don't make a right. While it does add equality, it's just not necessary. The controls worked just fine in the last installment.
