Team Ouya

[magus]

whelp looks like the only sensible choice to me

at least it features an actual game from square-enix instead of a tech demo no?

[demi]

You can get free games on Android yea

[Joe Molotov]

Android has games?

[Don Flamenco]

Diablo 3 was setup to be a console game.

The reason only 4 players are allowed into a game is for 4 controllers.

The reason the quests make you walk in a linear closed circuit as opposed to big open worlds, is to keep your buds next to you on the same screen.

The reason for no skill points or complicated number crunching? To make console players happy.

The reason you have 4-5 skills on your bar at once? Very easy to use an Xbox/Ps3 controller to use skills.

The reason no runes / complicated item mechanics exists. Simply wouldn't be fun for console gamers.

The reason you can't host a named game? Auto join for console users.

The reason for achievements in game? It's popular among console / COD fans.

The reason for passive skills? Perks like Call of Duty uses. Everyone unlocks perks and uses their favorite ones.

PC gamers are just beta testing for the console release so it wont be full of bugs. That's how ActiBlizz intends to make the real money.

Also explains why the game doesn't have VoIP for Pc gamer chat.

Diablo 3 is the modern Call of Duty of ARPG's.

when you have no games,you can't make any snarky comment like "yay! another mario game!" toward it

[D3RANG3D]

This thread outs you as Andrex.

[Great Rumbler]

I might buy an Ouya just to mess around with, but not for $100.

[Momo]

Has anyone ever seen Andrex and Magus in the same place?

[mjemirzian]

Ouya is cute but the last thing I need is more hardware collecting dust in my closet.

[Brehvolution]

  ya

[hampster]

I'd rather have the Gamestick because the Oyua is ugly

[Diunx]

Already have Bejewelled on my shitty phone.

[Beezy]

This thing is only $100, right? A good amount of people here will buy one.

[Great Rumbler]

This thing is only $100, right? A good amount of people here will buy one.

They spent more than three times that amount on Wii U's, so yeah.

:'(

I might grab one for video streaming. I assume these cheap android consoles have netflix and such but I haven't really looked into it. Even better if they offer a bunch of channels like Roku does

exactly

[Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich]

I preordered one because fuck it, I want to replace the POS Sony network streamer I have in my bedroom and being able to play ROMs and shit is a fun bonus. Fuck an Android game.

[chronovore]

$100 to satisfy curiosity isn't so bad.

[magus]

people that have partecipated in the kickstarter will get their own at the end of march,do we have any borean who did so?

[demi]

We have backers on this board yes.

[Sho Nuff]

That's what it cost me to visit Mistress Lavender's Female Domination Dungeon and I thought it was more than worth it

[Great Rumbler]

Is there any kind of list of what's coming out at launch and soon after? I imagine there's a lot of junk indie games no one cares about, but I'm still curious.

[Sho Nuff]

Portal Lady is doing a Ouya exclusive

[Stoney Mason]

I'm sure they will try to cobble out some tentative list but I have a feeling releases will be a lot more like on android or ios where shit just tends to drop.

[magus]

let's google it....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ouya_software#cite_note-1

and some youtube video's cause i'm such a nice guy









and there's also final fantasy 3 DS port up tough pretty sure that one doesn't need a video

then there is this blog post
http://www.ouya.tv/ouya-is-coming/

[originalz]

Man, look at all of those great games!  The BIG 3 must be shaking in their boots!

[Sho Nuff]

Dubstep does not make those games look any better

[Huff]

Dubstep makes everything better. Day 1

[originalz]

If you guys want to see the kind of quality games you can expect, look no farther than the Xbox Indie Marketplace!

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Games/XboxIndieGames

Classic titles like "Miner of Duty", "Zombie Death Quota", and "The $1 Zombie Game".  Indie games with no gatekeeper are the future, folks!

[Joe Molotov]

Dubstep does not make those games look any better

It doesn't get you super pumped for "It's like Zelda" or "Beat'em With RPG Elements 1, 2, and 3"?

[Great Rumbler]

The future of games is Kickstarter, get on-board or die.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Nobody is going to give a shit about this thing six months after its out.

In a year or two, there are going to be a million different Android-in-controller consoles that you can plug into your TV.

A better solution is already out and at half the cost: http://www.amazon.com/Android-Smart-internet-adaptor-dongle/dp/B009F8HS4E/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_6

[Diunx]

Can I play ps1 isos on this?

[originalz]

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/49371/ouya-dev-kit-stereoscopic-3d

Hahaha, I like how it has the options for managing SD cards, portable hotspot, and battery life.  The software is so lazily designed.

[Van Cruncheon]

only the best of digipen's junior class for magoose

[Joe Molotov]

How many furry games are gonna be available at launch?

[G The Resurrected]

Can I play ps1 isos on this?

Not in the Ouya api, but you can with Android.

I specifically bought it to emulate pre ps2/xbox/gc gen. And also to use it as a media streaming device (XMB) for all my copious amounts of porn and anime/jdrama's.

[Sho Nuff]

Wait, can the chipset in that thing actually emulate those boxes?

[G The Resurrected]

Tegra 3 can emulate pretty much anything from dreamcast and before. Granted the emulators are all in various states of development. There is even a PS2xe emulator for android that works, just not very well.

If only they would have put a Tegra 4 in there with a bit more horsepower it would easily run the dolphin emulator probably.

[Beezy]

Looks like Ouya just got another customer.

[bork]

A better Ouya has already been confirmed for next year.  I'm passing on this model unless impressions are that it's that good and streams all kinds of video without problems.

I did however order a GCW-Zero for my emulation needs.  Only a bit more money than the Ouya, portable, hooks up to TV via HDMI, and looks to run stuff perfectly.

[magus]

you guys probably already own an emu box
it's called a wii

[bork]

Bleah.

Don't be shy about impressions on that one when it comes it.

[magus]

let's bump this thread up for when thursday come,i want to hear some disappointed impressions about a bunch of lame android games

[Sho Nuff]

Holy shit it's actually coming out on the 28th for Kickstarter backers

[Stoney Mason]

Yeah, I had to update my address this week for the proper shipping address on it.

[Sho Nuff]

We've had our devkit for a while, it's definitely a cute little Android HDMI box. Wondering what people will think of the controllers

[Stoney Mason]

There were some decently respected members of the media who were calling this thing a scam that was never going to come out when the kickstarter happened. I wonder if they will be honest enough to write articles admitting they were wrong. Of course not.

Not saying the Ouya is gonna be some great thing but it wasn't vaporware at least.

I'm more looking forward to all of the journalists praising the OUYA at face value and saying it'll revolutionize everything having to eat their words when it happens to be a piece of shit with no good games.

[Stoney Mason]

I have seen no single journalist do that.

[originalz]

Heh, you should read the SA thread.  There are no lack of journalist shills, although mostly on the non-gaming business sites who just take press releases and assume everything is truth.  We've been making fun of them for months on their piss-poor journalism.

[originalz]

Anyone who thinks this company has any idea what it's doing needs to listen to this interview from SXSW:

https://soundcloud.com/officialsxsw/julie-uhrman-josh-topolsky



"Topolsky: "Are you talking to people about that right now?"

Uhrman: "Talking to everybody."

Topolsky: "Can you tell me who you're talking to?"

Uhrman: "No I can't."

Topolsky: "Do you...want to share any details or information on any deals you're currently making?"

Urhman: "No I don't."

Topolsky: "Are you sure?"

Urhman: "Yes I am.""

I also like how there are no pics or details of the launch units despite them launching in a day.

[Joe Molotov]

It's like Christmas morning: You don't know what you're gonna get, but it's gonna be AWESOME!

[mjemirzian]

I'm not exactly sure what market this is supposed to target.

[G The Resurrected]

I got a warning that someone was shipping a small package to me this morning. So it looks like they are creating labels to send these out. I can't wait to put XMB on it.
