No doubt an old cell phone chipset beats every console on the market. It's amazing what marketing bullshit people will believe.

Funny thing about that. On another forum, one of the backers noticed this contradiction, yet actually cheered for it because it means more money & support for the Ouya. Yes, some backer actually supported scamming people with PR just so he can play his Newgrounds games without having to use a computer. I am not joking.

I really pity the amount of hope Ouya supporters must have invested in the console to be doubling down still, you'd think by now most of them would have shrugged off the hundred bucks or whatever they sunk into it minus whatever fun they managed to extract and moved on. But no, there's a whole bunch of them who just can't accept that Plucky Little Ouya isn't what they had envisioned it would be, to the point of creating an alternate reality in their heads where the Mighty Ouya is the most powerful of all consoles.

Yes, much like they meant the phone versions of Skyrim, Call of Duty and Battlefield. No, these people are just clueless idiots who thought a console was a console and this one just cost 99 bucks instead of $299 and the games were FREE.

There is Kainy, but then you've spent $99 for the sub-standard experience of streaming from a gaming PC, rather than just dragging your system into the living room and using a HDMI cable.

Another day, another article deriding the Ouya, and another chance for Cootes & Co to talk yet more bollocks about how people don't "get it". I remain unclear as to what it is we are supposed to be getting. One year on, is Ouya's unconsole assault already running out of steam? quote:To me, Ouya is attempting to solve a problem that doesn't exist. It's targeting F2P, which is all about removing barriers to start playing while offering a big audience. Ouya has a $99 hardware paywall, so breaks the F2P model from the outset. quote:Honestly, I don't love the idea of an open console - as a consumer or as a developer. edit: for some reason many of the commentators in that article seem positive about the idea of Ouya getting an update every year, ignoring the problems that this could bring for devs and gamers, not to mention that it's doubtful Ouya would have sufficient funds to handle the R&D, manufacture and support (+ a million other little things) to pull off an annual hardware release. If this was really their plan shouldn't they already be busy working on the Ouya 2? Some reddit idiot posted:It's a console for people that don't like where mainstream games have been heading. Bigger budgets for AAA titles have, at best, only improved the way games look and often get in the way of gameplay. There it is again, yet more shite about AAA games not having gameplay, and the good old local multiplayer. I think /r/Ouya may be a testing ground for a rudimentary AI that's only been programmed with a single subject. it dont matter fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Jul 30, 2013 |

GAH there's that loving local multiplayer argument again. Can I force these guys to read the Wii U thread where we're constantly bitching about not having online multiplayer for everything? Also I liked this in the actual article.quote:At this price point those behind the device can provide new Ouya boxes every year, same as smartphones/tablets are introduced each year. All they need is for superior (and probably cheaper, at least from Google) boxes from companies with more name recognition and the Ouya 2 will just start flying off the shelves! Also maybe I'm not getting business but if the first run is funded (and 100% shipped naturally) by the Kickstarter then don't they need to sell consoles to non-backers to finance the second version? Presumably in huge amounts to reach the same level of cash that they failed to produce the first version with.

Polygon Towerfall Article "You are not playing the best game of 2013." "Maybe you think it's obvious that a bunch of game writers would go gaga for a semi-obscure 2D indie game. But when I say it's the game of the office, I mean the entire office. Writers for The Verge and SB Nation, members of the sales team, developers, producers: everyone loves TowerFall." "Real talk, I would pay $115 for a Towerfall box." And this isn't from a blind OUYA fan, he hates the thing. He calls OUYA lovely in the same video. You may not think the Polygon guys are great, but they're not insane like I am, at least. Towerfall really is just that good. PC port is coming eventually, but who knows how far out that is.

Haha last night someone said the Wii U finally had a better library than the dreamcast jokingly. So I had to respond with except for multiplayer. God drat. Its hard to tell who may end up on top here the OUYA or the Wii U in terms of games. I think the OUYA already has more third party titles rolling even if they're a sea of poo poo.

Zeether posted:Hey look, a shmup on the OUYA! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3bNnkKacjo The big problem with this game (besides from the obvious lack of polish) is that it mixes SO MANY loving ART STYLES. Half the graphics are blocky 8 bit sprites, half are much higher resolution and fidelity and NOTHING MATCHES. The end result is utter rear end even before you look at the loving laughable stencil graphics on the edges. This is a problem with Ouya games in general. Some fuckwit looks at a popular thing, doesn't grok what makes it work and then tries to duplicate it. The results are always embarassing.

PrinceRandom posted:I'm sure Tomb Raider, The Witcher pack, and EU IV can hold me over until they announce their port. According to that second article, Towerfall has sold 2,000 copies during the month that it's been on the OUYA (I'm seeing that its release date was June 25.) Let that sink in for a moment. Having played it, I can say it's probably the best game on the OUYA. It's gotten a shitload of press and is touted by everybody who's played it as being awesome. And it's only made 2,000 sales. Had Towerfall been released on any other platform, I can see it selling at least ten times as many copies in its first month, thanks to both the game's quality and the good press it has received. But since Towerfall's developers had the misfortune to choose the OUYA, they've made jack poo poo. OUYA is not a console anybody should develop for. That said, I'm all  that Towerfall is coming to PC.

What does being an OUYA fan have to do with anything in this article? I think just about everyone in this thread agrees that yeah, Towerfall is probably a fun game. That has little to do with the quality of the OUYA, especially considering it's coming to PC at some point. He's right: the OUYA is a piece of poo poo, and it's absolutely not worth the money. There's no way I'm paying $115 for a Towerfall box, though. Not a chance. "The best game of 2013: Drop $100 on the system, up to $150 on three more controllers, and $15 on the game!" That's Polygon for you! Edit: I also think it's pretty funny how you quoted the opening "you're not playing the best game of 2013" in such a way that it could be taken negatively. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Jul 31, 2013 |
