that's amazing.

Is it just me or is their site down now? Isdownforeveryone.com confirms! Too much traffic, or did they pull the plug?
Nm, guess it was just a hiccup, they're back now. Although its running really slow.

That 00000 games counter is definitely live on the site and very real.

I knew there was a reason to keep following this thread. And that commercial was it.

Kotaku comment posted:

Animations like that are why I love Japanese Anime. No matter if you like the actual drawing style or not, you can always be sure that they're never disgusting.

This was a rather disgusting animation, and then he started to throw up.

Hell, I'm sure that if done right a anime guy could rip his spine out and it still would be cute!

Is that an Ouya exclusive?

This article came out talking about OUYA's lovely marketing choices.

...I found out about it because OUYA killer app Towerfall creator Matt Thorson tweeted it and said "have to agree, sadly".

that article posted:

Affordable so-called "microconsoles" like Ouya are part of the necessary (and exciting!) disruption of the traditional business.

Even that article has bits of "I'm claiming this because I desperately want it to be true and am journalistically bankrupt" garbage like this:

So it turns out that commercial was Ouya "experimenting" and released for the purposes of getting feedback for the "official video."

There is nothing necessary or exciting about this wave of garbage that runs off Android and calls themselves "consoles."

Oh jesus the entire thing was worth it just for this ad.

Edit: Metal of Duty should be a real game.

Never mind the fact that they're portraying their own (potential) audience as fat dudes who sit around in their underwear and toss their empty cans on the floor. I wear pants, thank you.

It was one of those worst things I've ever seen. I wonder what kind of salary I could weasel out of them if I made up some quick photoshop mocks and told them they needed to hire me as their CMO.

You know they paid in bitcoins or downloadable codes for Towerfall or some poo poo.

Yeah, Leigh Alexander isn't exactly the paragon of responsible journalism.

so @leighalexander nailed it in that article; OUYA's own worst enemy right now is it's big, obnoxious mouth. like, look at their twitter feed, as I was saying that they made a pestering tweet about meat boy not on the console? frankly, @playouya is pissing me the gently caress off right now. focusing so much on what everyone else is or isn't doing, not on what it can do. and "experimenting" with vulgar advertising? that's not experimenting, that's making a giant cock-up and trying to pretend it wasn't

like if you boot up an OUYA, you get a TOTALLY different experience than the impression they are giving, it's much much better I promise you

like it or not I'm somewhat tied to the 'brand' now, my game is big and featured and I have my own playlist right at the top of the store

had I known that *this* was their 'media strategy' or whatever, I'd have rather not been associated. I don't want to support this kind of marketing push, since it's doing just that; pushing away the people who would love ouya most.

just take my word for it; the hardware and the games are brilliant and worth $100/£100. you decide if it's also worth supporting the 'brand'

Is Gameasutra not a good source of game journalism? I don't actually read a lot of gaming/tech stuff.

There is no such thing as good game journalism.

There's plenty of good journalism about games. They just don't come from people who call themselves game journalists.

I always felt vaguely slighted by this since it's what PC gamers got instead of an actual demo that consoles did, and Bulletstorm, while thoroughly enjoyable, still fell into a lot of the pitfalls modern FPS dp (Didn't it even have a bloody screen? I know it had regenerating health).

SynthOrange posted:

It had the most amazingly ridiculous set pieces and dialogue though. I'll always be sad there's no sequel.

Zaphod42 posted:

It was a very flawed game but it was actually fun, did original things, and was pretty. That's more than you can say about most games these days.

RoadCrewWorker posted:

Games were best* when i was a kid. Screw that 'nostalgia console' bullshit, ouya needs to start selling time machines, they can't possibly do worse than they already have.

_{*except bullestorm, that game loving ruled and gently caress everyone who ignored it and bought DNF instead.}

I too lament when games are fun. Clearly what we need is a console that calls back to totally awesome 90's gaming.

I don't know man. There are some good games out there but in a long time none of them have made me their bitch.

Uh, so did that stupid free online FPS that was all about teabagging people and tired memes ever get released for the OUYA or did they give up on that idea?
