I know it does say mobile app but that's basically the same thing. If it isn't from TARTAR then maybe I should forward it to some of their "developers".

Reminds me of a video for a scam console thing that let you "program any kind of game" using a bunch of crappy templates. Wish I remembered the name.

If I was a developing for OUYA and won the contest, I would want OUYA to pay me and then promote my game, not pay for a documentary and promote the loving documentary.

But what do I know I'm not developing a game for OUYA.

The point is not to reward specific devs for making successful OUYA games, it's to show other devs that the OUYA is a good platform to make games for. The documentary thing is probably one of the better ideas the OUYA team has come up with.

Looking at the boxart, it may well be intended as a feature. N64 didn't have multiplayer, so Visorman shouldn't either!

Is it wrong that I can't tell if that's really the art from the dev or made by you as a joke?

In case it's real, I can't believe he used the original prototype render for the controller when they've already shown what the final design looks like.

If the dev's twitter is to be believed then yes, it's real.

It's legit and he posted it on Twitter.

Looking at that twitter it sure is funny how he has 31,649 followers. Yet almost all of his tweets have no favorites or retweets, it's almost as if they're not genuine followers, but instead, a bunch of bots he purchased to follow him.

Visorman himself is very much designed in the mould of a 90s hero, as he is a Bond-esque superspy who wears a black visor over his eyes, the very antithesis of the gritty heroes we see today.

Oh, a hero who wears a visor? Well, gently caress me, I've never seen anyone in Call Of Duty with a visor. OUYA purchased.

Are we sure this isn't intentionally supposed to be a Goldeneye spoof? It looks like something I'd cook up in 5 minutes in Photoshop if I was trying to make an intentionally terrible ripoff of the Goldeneye box.

I mean admittedly it's not funny but is the dude really lacking that much self-awareness?

Reading all the poo poo about Visorman, all the selling points are things that the game doesn't have. NO IRONSIGHTS! NO TWO STICK CONTROL! NO ONLINE MUTLIPLAYER! It's almost as if the game doesn't have anything appealing so the guys marketing it are talking about the things it doesn't have and then acting like those things are unappealing.

I think the odds of any four people wanting to play an ouya together are so small that the difference is negligible.

There was a time where I wondered if developers would take on the retro aesthetic with early 3D games in a similar way to how many developers do faux 8 and 16bit, but surprise! It turns out to be the worst thing ever.
