Hi, has any ESO fan managed to get the steam machine? I'm curious as to how it runs.

Hey everyone,

I have a long history of playing MMO's including Guild Wars 1 and 2. Since the early days of corona I've switched all my gaming to Playstation 5 and have now become a "couch addict" when it comes to my gaming. Of course I was extremely happy to see Guild Wars 3 being announced for the PS5 and I can't wait to embark on this journey now armed with my PS5 Pro.

As someone that loves roleplay and often misses the communicative aspects of PC gaming, I hope that Arenanet can implement the following feature: The AI transcriber.

One of the elements of console gaming, is how do you communicate? You can do so by voice, and that is wonderful, I'm all for that and it has been implemented succesfully by ESO and in a crossplay environment by New World.

The other way of communication is text. Now this is just not ideal on console, at least not for the "Couch gamer". You can use a small portable keyboard but it just doesn't feel comfertable. Then you have these plugins minikeyboards that you can connect to your controllers but they ruin the ergonomics of the controller.

But there is another way. In where winds meet, they implemented LLM technology for you to have conversations with the AI NPC's. The technology translates your voice message to text and then responds in text. But they have enabled this llm technology also in the chat channels. And unlike a google assistant or siri LLM's are awesome at capturing your voice, even if you have a dutch accent like I do and accurately translating it to text.

I would love to see this feature applied to every multiplayer game that offers written text, but especially in an MMO like Guild Wars, this is perfect!
