When coupled with loud background party noise, the "smart function" rapidly becomes a little less clever.
SingStar parties are often amongst a few drinks and friends, and when words start becoming slurred or a little incoherent after a cocktail or two, the system's voice controls can start to get confused. In testing, we also experienced a slight lag in the input and recognition of vocals into the game, but nothing that had too significant an effect on scoring or gameplay. We were flying blind - to avoid a similar fate, be sure to have the tracklist on hand. We experienced this issue when we began reviewing tracks on the new SingStar: Pop Edition when unfamiliar with some of the newer artists and album covers in the song selection.
Given users can also select songs by artist or track name, users unfamiliar with track lists won't easily be able to browse the tracklist without a controller (which would also be wireless for those playing on the next-gen PS3 console). While the voice recognition features of the new mics are clever, often the few seconds it takes for your voice command to process will make you think it'd be easier (and faster) to click the X button on your controller.
#HOW TO TRANSFER MY PS3 SINGSTAR SONGS ON MY PS4 UPGRADE#
You'll need your standard controller to make your game selection (solo, multiplayer, etc), but from there, a quick tutorial will get you up to speed on the mic's new voice control features and allow you to select your song, set difficulties and conduct basic navigation around the game.īoth PS2 and PS3 owners can upgrade to the new wireless set-up, with the peripherals compatible with both consoles. The slightly chunky dongle will ensure the mics power up and are ready to rock when you start your SingStar game. Technically, set-up of the new microphones is fairly simple - mics are battery-powered and come packaged with AA batteries and a wireless dongle that connects to your console via a USB connection. Such is the concept of upgrading from your corded mics to the cordless set-up: going wireless will allow you the freedom to use the whole living room to dance around and reach rock/pop god status, but won't be terribly different in function to its corded predecessor. PlayStation's new wireless mics are a little bit like that convertible car you've had your eye on - features that are not entirely necessary and compelling enough to make you upgrade from your trusty hatchback, but all-in-all looks like a lot more fun than what you've got. Coupling the freedom of wireless performance with new voice-recognition features for controller-free gameplay, the PlayStation's wireless mics are designed to liberate the karaoke party beyond the length of the two-metre cord from your console.
