Gameloft and Verizon to bring in-game voice chat over 4G LTE

It looks like Verizon’s 4G LTE network will have more usage purposes on smartphones in the future. In addition to letting you stream your music, movies and download large files quickly – you’ll be able to use it for in-game voice chatting when playing Gameloft games. Gameloft and Verizon recently announced a partnership to enable a voice chat feature in its games in the near future. At the moment only a few games are supported (Asphalt 6 is one of them) but hopefully that number increases when it is released later this year.

In-game voice chat would definitely take mobile gaming to the next level; and seeing how you’re playing a game on a phone after all – it only makes sense that you can chat while doing it as well. Coordinating team-based moves are going to be so much easier next time. Check out the promo video showing Gameloft/Verizon’s in-game voice chat in action. What games would you like to see this feature in?
