Thoughts from an OUYA backer: http://coffeegeek.tumblr.com/post/46622612558/concerns-about-ouya quote:I won’t be handing my credit card information over to Ouya. So as a result, I guess I bought an expensive, $170 brick (I bought the limited edition metal one with extra controllers). I’ll have to wait until someone fully hacks the device to run stock Android.

Tarranon posted:I would love three things cleared up Think of it as a sort of seal of quality. Take a scenario where you're navigating the OUYA store. You say to yourself, "I'm looking for a game that suits the taste of a grown man that likes TV shows targeted at little girls." You can't guarantee that any of those other games on the storefront are 100% Brony. Some of them may be as low as 30% Brony. That's dangerously low. Unless you meant why are we calling RED "100% Brony"? It's in the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5moED9qfHU

I love the optimism with which Ur-Man says that YOLATENGO "gift cards" will be carried at Best Buy, Gamestop, etc. Who wants to bet they haven't actually talked to those companies about it at all?

As he made a twin stick shooter and is charging $4.99 for it, I doubt he's going to have much demographic at all. Seriously - I MADE A GAEM WITH ZOMBIES IN IT on XBLIG (which is better than it sounds, honest!) was $1, and that guy wrote a highly entertaining song that is basically the only reason his game has done well. There's no way RED has that.

Oh man, speaking of Gamestop... You can order your ACHOO from them (of course you can). The best part, though: the reviews: http://www.gamestop.com/elect/consoles/ouya-game-console/107853#reviews quote:THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING GAME CONSOLE EVER!!! I ALWAYS WANTED A GAME CONSOLE THAT WAS BOTH AWESOME AND AFFORDABLE.

Here's Ouya-developer master Dreamzle's game; which is on that list for sale right now: The Secret of Universe Alpha (not sure if that's the name of the universe or the build). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KniKH9Yfl5Y Perfect music selection. I think I've spent too much time in this thread, I think I need to buy a AAA twin-stick shooter knock off to remember what textures look like

Waffleman_ posted:"This game is bad, but it's good at it's overpriced. More games need to be expensive." I know that you're being sarcastic, but that is actually a pretty concise & clear summary of what I was saying. Basically, I'm just glad to see a developer with clout release a $5+ game, because I think that's a good influence for the OUYA market. Game devaluation really is a serious problem. Now, so far it's been limited mostly to the mobile space. It's very hard to sell your game on the App Store at above $.99, for instance. That's not good for developers, since it means you can only make money by selling a huge volume of games. Now expectation for mobile platforms has already been set that anything more than $.99 for a game is expensive. Square & other publishers can release games at a higher price, and that will help change it. But it's much easier to change expectations that haven't fully formed yet, like on OUYA. So there's two reasons I'm glad to see FFIII priced at $15. First, I'm glad a developer with clout is selling games in the $5-$15 range, regardless of quality, purely for the sake of creating more flexible price expectations. Second, and more specific to this game, I'm glad to see FFIII sold at $15 because it indicates that if Square brings more games to OUYA, they might be willing to price those games that high, too.

Charging a price for a game that is grossly higher than it should be is not a good influence on the ouya market. Are you insane?

Let me get this straight, you want companies to set the precedent for titles to be expensive (even if they suck) so that all future games which suck can be priced highly? This is what you are saying, right?

Think about it: what's the target demographic for OUYA Marketplace? That's right, morons. Once developers realise that anybody with an OUYA will blindly throw money at loving anything, there'll be all kinds of new games appearing! Nothing actually good, obviously, since it's a tiny market, but that's by the by.
