Sony takes SOEmote live for EverQuest II, lets gamers show their true CG selves (video)
Posted in: Today's Chili 
We had a fun time trying Sony’s SOEmote expression capture tech at E3; now everyone can try it. As of today, most EverQuest II players with a webcam can map their facial behavior to their virtual personas while they play, whether it’s to catch the nuances of conversation or drive home an exaggerated game face. Voice masking also lets RPG fans stay as much in (or out of) character as they’d like. About the only question left for those willing to brave the uncanny valley is when other games will get the SOEmote treatment. Catch our video look after the break if you need a refresher.

Sony’s third-generation console is primed for new firmware, set to arrive later today and looking to be an audio-centric refresh. Version 4.20 improves support for Sony’s PlayStation 3 Wireless Stereo Headset, which had some troubles with the last update. You can now turn off the option to hear your own voice ringing through your head, or pick from five different volume levels. There’s also a new option to add virtual surround sound on Blu-ray and DVD playback to the ear-warmers, as well adjustments to how long the whole system will run before shutting itself down and the ability to save files in bulk. Hit up the official source for the full update rundown.
