I told my friends they could play OUYA with me if they brought their own controller. When I told them the control was $50 they told me to gently caress off. What's with this OUYA persecution we all face?

Hav posted:To be fair, that's probably there to give them some column inches, because I'd hate to see their fragmentation within five years, and no doubt someone in marketing is going to point out that this isn't a phone, despite phone-like qualities. My favorite part about the OUYA is that I could go buy a cable and a bluetooth controller and use them with my current phone, so I'll have an OUYA with more features for like $60 at most.

The DS had a huge selection of puzzle games like Puzzle League, Meteos, and the Tetris DS collection. Puzzle games are cool and all but it's the kind of genre you really want to pick up and take with you on the train for some quick rounds.

I think the biggest thing the OUYA has to offer is in the 4 player capability. It opens a new door for Android development and brings a little of that "couch" gameplay back. I have an OUYA Dev kit, and it's pretty nice in it's current state. The controllers will be getting redone to some extent, but what I have feels sturdy and fits my hands well (I'm a girl, but I have man hands), and has already survived a few falls. The things that aren't so great about it are the D-pad on the left, and the triggers, which feel a bit off. From what I have heard both those things are getting replaced for the final version though. The OUYA console itself feels solid, and the controllers interface with it flawlessly so far. The software is still in the works and is still a little choppy, but we can already play games, and use a bunch of apps(we can watch netflix etc), the video quality is excellent too. We haven't gotten our game Legend of Dungeon running on it yet because it's not ready to port over, but from what I can tell, it's going to be a great way to play games, and a great opportunity for indies to make console style games. There are a lot of things that could go wrong, and I have no idea if they will take off, but I am hopeful. At the very least, OUYA spawned a new corner of the market in a sense. In my opinion of course.

Someone posted this in the kickstarter thread in GBS, and I'm inclined to agree: Buy a mini android PC (like this one I guess here and a cheap rear end controller. Hook it up to a TV. You now have a device to play games on that is cheaper and less retarded than an OUYA. You're welcome.

This is reasonable, but you have to take these things in account: 1) OUYA's "extensions" should be in any case part of the android ecosystem (this should be easy, unless they did some sheanigans to support multiple controller with multiple touch screens) 2) OUYA's titles can be either sideloaded as normal android .apks on your phone, or OUYA releases their store for other devices (like what Amazon does with its mobile store, and what was originally planned for Playstation Mobile even if this only for "certified platforms"). 3) OUYA's titles are programmed to respect phone screens and the like. (this still requires testing on behalf of the game developers, you know, you don't want to see a game with icons and text thought for a 42" TV on a 7" screen...).

I'm only familiar with the Xbox Live Indie Games but that was an opportunity for Indies to make console style games, albeit on a console with a much large install base. The biggest failing of XLIG however is that good games were swamped by poor quality imitators and a general lack of curation by Microsoft. Given that Ouya have made a point of saying they will only provide minimal curation of their proprietary marketplace, what advantages do they offer indie console developers?

Supposedly, a range of controllers are planned, out to supporting the entirety of the iCade button standard (ie. at least as many buttons as a SNES controller), assuming the device does halfway decently. The 2-button model was just their first run controller. I love how he keeps trying to make flashy jumps onto geometry, but the player physics keep glitching out.

It's like he's trying really hard to emulate the play style and music choice of what you might see on some horribly stupid "pro" FPS video, except he appears to be playing with approximately two other people/bots who seem to be staying as stationary and predictable as possible while simultaneously missing every shot.  I'm not tech savvy in regards to the Ouya and similar machines, but can it really do something like this, as in an alright looking fully 3D FPS? It touts it as "Ouya" gameplay but then says it's running in a browser. Based off of all the other poo poo that people are showing off I would have guessed it has horsepower about on par with a Nintendo 64.

But they'll also pop up on mobiles or PC/Mac, with those other versions being the non-ports. Shalinor fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Feb 9, 2013 |

Shimrra Jamaane posted:What the gently caress is going on with the sky? I think it's maybe some kind of geodesic combat arena thing? Hence also the sky billboards...? My favorite part of the demo, beyond the repeated failed jumps onto the same piece of geometry, and beyond even the astonishingly awful art design (there is absolutely no unifying aesthetic), is the way the guy giving the demo doesn't switch weapons until nearly halfway through the video. I was honestly certain that it was a one-weapon FPS until he pulled out the lovely SMG and the... wooden sword? That shows up for all of 5 frames.

Sigma-X posted:If that controller works on the PC for $50 a dual analog controller with a touchpad seems like a pretty good controller, definitely a viable alternative to a wired 360 controller. The controller is missing some buttons due to having the touchpad and the touchpad can't be very good. If you want an Android based home theater PC then you just get ones for $30-$60 depending on the performance you need off the internet. It's only reasonable compared to the Raspberry PI because the RPi is an extremely underpowered device and frnakly not very good even if it is $35. For just $9 more than an RPi you could get http://dx.com/p/android-4-0-mini-pc-google-tv-player-w-wifi-allwinner-a10-cortex-a8-tf-hdmi-white-4gb-137012 Sigma-X posted:I think the hardware itself is interesting, and their desire to make it open and hackable means that it actually has potential to be a useful living room device. a $100 box with a wireless controller and all the power of my cellphone seems like more than enough to be a netflix/youtube/twitch.tv box. Rokus sell, and they aren't as functional, near as I can tell. The hardware itself is pretty not good for the price and it's only as open and hackable as every other android device out there. The controller has serious issues being used with regular games and apps due to its design so it's more of a liability than a benefit. Even if you were for some reason to limit yourself to "things that were on kickstarter", then this basically kicks the Ouya's rear end http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/872297630/gamestick-the-most-portable-tv-games-console-ever That's a repackage of one of the standard android mini htpc things around, but you don't have to buy it from China and the controller is included and matched to it.

Hopefully they will respond to peoples feedback, so if the market ends up being crap(which minimal curation will most likely lead to), they will fix it. They have already shown that they listen to feedback so they have that going for them at least.

Wont a the considerable outlay for a devkit combined with a tiny install base encourage developers to chase the lowest common denominator and thus put out low cost eyecatching shovelware, minecraft imitators and the like? Further, while $800 is a lot of money, given the Ouya received a tremendous amount of donations and media attention is it not reasonable to assume some non-serious developers who hoped to ride the hype train to riches also bought dev-kits? Given the Ouya store is the only way Ouya can make a profit do you think people's feedback will matter as much as chasing immediate profit? Minecraft clones sold extremely well on XBLIG for instance. Finally aren't you worried about developing for a console that specifically advertised itself as hackable?

I thought the ouya was a crock of poo poo for anything beyond a cheap XMBC device for the less technical. But after seeing the leaked / planned specs for both of the new xbox & PS consoles... Well, I still think Ouya is a crock of poo poo, but the console based on tablet hardware isn't completely crazy. The next real consoles are going to be based around a chip that's designed for laptops, ultraportables, and little mini-box PCs. That type of chip will be showing up in tablets before 2015. The choice to use something off the shelf* for their consoles is (I think) an indication that neither are sure the console will even exist as an independent device after this generation. *They have some alterations to what will be a laptop-bound Jaguar CPU, but not much. And importantly it's a licensed x86 chip not owned by MS or Sony, so they can't manufacture them cheaply themselves.

Can we please clear up the fact that there are no "dev-kit" OUYA's, what they're marketing as a dev-kit is nothing but a bunch of units from the first production run with a tiny fan on it. There is literally nothing that separates them from a regular OUYA, but the people who signed up for one have never done any real console development so have no idea what a real dev-kit is. And low quality games won't be an issue? Look at the things people are linking in this thread, there's no shortage of lovely games being developed (even without "dev kits"). There's a few diamonds in the rough, but there's an overwhelming number of lovely rip-off's.

(Not that they'll make much profit, the margins will be almost zero. But it'll keep the GlobalFounderies production lines from shutting down. AMD was in a baaaad place this year.) It makes a lot of sense. Designing their own poo poo was nice the last generation, but Sony took a bath on theirs. And it's been proven that even if you throw a ton of money at the best engineering you can get, your hardware is going to be antiquated after 5-6 years. And Jaguar is an evolution of Bobcat, a proven CPU that had good performance for it's niche of inexpensive lightweight laptops, so it's not a complete unknown.
