Surprisingly, this may not be the case. Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb responded that, “I’ve asked – based on what I know of the voice system, I would be surprised if this was possible. The Xbox One uses an all new wide bandwidth (read: better voice quality) CODEC, so I doubt they are compatible.”

Why doesn’t Hryb try it out on his own Xbox One and Xbox 360? Well, that’s because his console is currently running on “non-final code”. So while there’s a good chance that users across different Xbox platforms won’t be able to voice chat, there’s still a bit of hope that this won’t be the case – if not at launch, then perhaps somewhere down the line.

The ironic thing? After Sony got hammered in the last generation for no cross-game chat on the PS3, Microsoft is now facing voice chat woes. At least users will be able to text each other (or so we hope).

Housemarque has announced voice chat functionality is coming to Dead Nation.

This will only be available for the online co-op mode in the near future.

According to the developer, the team is “currently working on the addition of voice chat capability” and plans on introducing it as quickly as possible.

The devs has informed that players will be keep up to date about this update via the PlayStation Blog aswell as their official Facebook page.

Fun.
