If this thing ever makes it to retail, I might actually pick one up once it's on the clearance rack. I'm sure I could find...some use for it.

BobHoward posted:It was Tegra2 which inexplicably lacked NEON. And to be fair, all SoCs using ARM's Cortex-A9 CPU have memory performance issues. The A9's L2 cache, external bus interface, and hardware prefetcher just aren't very good. The A15 is the first ARM-designed ARM core with a good memory interface. Ah, my bad. Was there some other instruction set the T3 was inexplicably missing that I'm getting confused with, or was I just totally wrong?

The OUYA is a gift that keeps on giving. I haven't had the time to check this thread since last week but I saw the controller story and the $15m stories pop up on Twitter. Coming back here and spending half an hour catching up on the last 10 pages got me smilin' again after a poo poo weekend. So the OUYA is good for something at least. Nintendo should've bought that when they had the chance. Now they're stuck making profit and misery forever.

The Tegra 3 (as opposed to the Tegra 2, which was a POS) was pretty decent - it has full NEON and it performs on par w/ (but not better than) most other A9 parts, it was just not particularly inspiring and late to market. If you want to read a particularly negative take, check out SemiAccurate's writeups (Charlie hates Nvida). Nvidia's future roadmap looks pretty decent/aggressive and their Icera integration will shore up the biggest shortcoming, but it's undeniable that they've underdelivered two (arguably three) times already so a lot of their success will hinge on whether they can actually deliver on their promises. BTW, I was just jumping in since I saw the links coming from SA (hey goons!) - I wrote the GPL request thread on the Ouya forums and that blog post. While it sucks that the Ouya isn't hackable in the throw Linux on the hardware sense, the Ouya is "open" compared to any of the existing consoles (and even Steam) in the sense that any developer can develop a game and put it in front of the audience w/ much lower barriers, on par w/ the Android and iOS stores, but with a few differences: 1) it's aimed specific at games/gamers and the rise of "Indie" games, which has matured/grown tremendously in the past few years, and (especially w/ their recent round of funding) 2) they are aiming for the "mass" market, which none of the older portable systems or Android TV sticks can really claim. Even if they fail completely, I think the fact that they exist will spur competition and force others to be more indie dev friendly, which is a good thing, and if they succeed, they'll have created a new channel and helped fill a niche. (At $100 the Ouya is/will be one of the cheapest and most convenient ways to play a lot of these indie games in your living room - PC's are way more expensive and less convenient to plug and play (not to mention to buy/play non-Steam games), the Steam Box will be 5-10x more expensive because it needs a minimum level of performance to support core gamers (3D FPSes and the like), most Android sticks/phones aren't controller friendly, and the Apple TV isn't game friendly (yet, ever?))

Every game on the OUYA is a steaming pile of poo poo covered in a wet drizzle of poo poo. If having a low barrier to entry causes this, then gently caress the OUYA. Besides, the big 3 and Steam are becoming 'indie friendly' so there's no reason to buy this shitbox. Also why does Julie keep talking about AAAAAAAAAA developers if this thing is an indie console. On that note, how can it be 'mass market' and 'indie at the same time.

The problem here is that a $100 device might be the cheapest, but how convenient is it to play when the controller doesn't work? Also, I wonder how many of the 'latency' reports have actually been due to the pants-on-head crazy deadzones the UHUH joysticks have?

Lower barrier of entry means you can crap out a CS 101 assignment and put in on OUYA right? Because that's what the game Barley Break is on the OUYA. If that's the result of an open console market, I'd rather have a walled garden.

The competition will be a race to the bottom when the BIG THREE see the inevitable swarm of gamers surging to purchase the people's console. "Christ if they'll eat up poo poo like that then there's no point for us to try that hard to make a good console. I mean have you seen their controller?"

As for being cheap and convenient, the issue with saying that an Ouya is $100 versus an iPad at $500 or a PC for even more, is that the other devices can do more than play crappy games. In reality you have to say that an Ouya costs $100 but a PC is free, because nearly everyone has a PC that can play these games. A cheap turd is still paying for a turd.

Has anyone here had any luck in getting a refund out of Kickstarter, and if so how did you do it? My incredibly brief search turned up the Kickstarter terms and conditions where they say they won't give refunds but on the other hand I've seen the occasional person mention getting a refund in this thread.

What, are you trying to get a refund on this? I really don't think you're gonna have any luck with that now. Maybe you can talk to Ouya's support, but this is long out of Kickstarter's hands.
