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? $:-\$

You can get free games on Android yea

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 09, 2013, 01:41:45 AM »

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

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #38 on:** March 09, 2013, 04:08:40 AM »

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.

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.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #48 on:** March 25, 2013, 10:25:18 PM »

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.

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.

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.
