Oh god I was salivating for a new OUYA thread ever since I saw the latest. http://news.cnet.com/8301-10797_3-57568183-235/ouya-chief-well-launch-a-new-console-every-year/ quote:"Our plan is to have a yearly refresh of Ouya where we leverage the best-performing chips and take advantage of falling component prices to create the best experience we can at the $99 price point," Uhrman told The Verge. Buy a new console every year! That won't run into any production problems at all! We'll make so much money on our marketplace that it won't be an issue. edit: Is there a way to make it so XboxPants is required to post in this thread at least once every 24 hours? That was the sole point of the last OUYA thread.

AxeManiac posted:I was reviewing XBL Indie titles 12 at a time in a power hour drinking contest, but I couldn't keep up with the flood of terrible, terrible games. It was nothing but pirate/zombie/cat games and mine craft clones. You could easily play hundreds of crappy games before you found 1 worth your time on that platform. It's almost hypnotic, like playing the lotto. You scratch around looking, hoping for a good game one day and it just never comes. I sincerly doubt any OUYA title can compete at the level of "Who Did I Date Last Night?" http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Who-Did-I-Date-Last-Night/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025855027a?cid=search

Original_Z posted:The worst part about the FF3 deal was that they would never stop shutting up about how even the big publishers saw the appeal of the OUYA. Reading the interviews was painful, "it's not like we're some small drop, we've got big names like SQUARE ENIX supporting us!" To be clear, is this American FF3, the Japanese FF6 or the third FF game that was recently released on the DS and was originally on the NES?

Hey, what's their business strategy for selling the OUYEAH in the Asian and European markets? If they plan to break the tyranny of the Big 3 surely they mean to compete in all the same marketplaces.

I think the Ouya will sell moderately well. People will buy the console alone, find ways to use regular PC game controllers, and there will be a mod/software package they can upload and install to run emulations. The storefront or whatever they call it will be laughably terrible. I bet they sell less then 1 game for every 20 Ouyas purchased.

Does the OUYA have an actual storefront or does it just load the Android app store? And if so how can the Ouya people take a cut of any sales? If it's a OUYA run storefront that means either they were approved to process credit card purchases or you have to buy everything with a paypal account.

I'd pay $50 for a BOOMSHAKALAUYA if it came preloaded with a NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, PSX emulator with all their games and an easy to use UI. I expect a lot of early purchases to be resold as such as people either buy the annual version or get disgusted with the idea of "original content" for the first release.

XboxPants posted:Well like, on the other hand, NVIDIA's senior VP of Content and Technology told Engadget they "have a dedicated team working with OUYA to ensure that Tegra 3's performance is being maximized. They've been amazing to work with." Yeah, that could just mean that they have a sales rep and a tech support guy who are also assigned to other accounts besides OUYA, but NVIDIA has happy to get out there and associate themselves with OUYA. Jon93 was just wrong. How is a company hired to do what they do normally mean anything? Nvidia didn't seem the GOOYUAH and scream "WE HAVE TO ASSOCIATE OURSELVES WITH THAT!!!" They got a contract and are doing a job, not trying to take over the marketing and advertising for this. Besides, maximizing the Tegra 3 just means you're getting the most of out outdated hardware, which I can't imagine is some herculean task.

So what happens when this all falls through and OUYA launches another KS because they budgeted poorly and need more cash now but don't worry once we get that extra $3 million units will arrive by the end of the week? Sunken-cost fallacy has never been more apparent.

precision posted:Dreamcasts are fantastic emulators too. I guess they're probably not cheap anymore, though. Everyone is fawning over the NES/SNES/N64 emulators for the OUYA, but what about Xbox, PSX, PS2, Dreamcast, Saturn etc? Is the selling point of this HOOPLA that you can play games that were released over 20 years ago that only people who remember playing them at the time actually want? Can the hardware even handle those emulators?

Uncle Jam posted:Considering the OUYA chugs on GTA in native android which my xbox handles a bit better, I really doubt it would handle an emulator on top of that as well. So, the biggest selling point for "the console of the future" is how well it can handle games at a technological level that was surpassed 10 years ago? OUYA!

Ugly In The Morning posted:And still have one of the best hit:miss ratios of any console, too. Sure, it doesn't have a huge library, but most of the games are solid as hell. Weird, but that may be why they work... unlike the system of a thousand 2D runner games. I picked up about 60 Dreamcast games during the time period where they were still super cheap and Gamestop had used copies of almost every title, 2004/2005, and that is completely true. Sega really gave no direction to its developers and as a result consumers got some crazy unique games. Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5, Maken X, (A console first person sword-fighter), Seaman (which I would go nuts for a brand new version), Shenmue, and some of the best 2D fighters ever made. Nothing insanely new and groundbreaking like some of those games ever comes out of major game companies anymore. It's all small studios and indie developers giving us things like Zeno Clash and FTL. Evil Fluffy posted:Some modern computers still can't handle PS2 emulation all that well. Anything that runs an N64 emulator is going to run a PSX emulator just as well or better. I had to explain the very concept of an HTPC to someone who wanted a way to use a TV screen for Netflix, Youtube etc. The vast majority of people wanting to devise a media center type system will either have someone they know do it, or go into Best Buy and pay $2000 for the equipment and $500 for installation and 'calibration'. The OUYA is never going to reach that segment of the marketplace no matter what Julie Uhrman claims. It will forever be the hobby of people technically knowledgeable enough to buy a $20 cable and connect a PC tower or laptop to a flat-screen HDTV yet somehow obsessed with the idea that a rubix cube sized box with the power of a phone can do the same thing but at worse performance. pentyne fucked around with this message at 02:15 on May 7, 2013 |

quote:“Free to try is a core tenant of OUYA,” said Uhrman. “We wanted a gaming experience for the television that’s inexpensive to get into. Developers monetize however they’d like to, which is why we have games with unlockable demoes inside a fully paid version, or micro-transactions, and even a donation based game. I’m looking forward to the first episodic, subscription-based game,” she said. What the gently caress does that even mean? Pay $5 a month and hope that one of the 12,000 developers can release each game episode in a timely manner?

You know what this reminds me of?quote:For one contract, in July 2000, Enron and Blockbuster Video signed a 20-year agreement to introduce on-demand entertainment to various U.S. cities by year-end. After several pilot projects, Enron recognized estimated profits of more than $110 million from the deal, even though analysts questioned the technical viability and market demand of the service. When the network failed to work, Blockbuster withdrew from the contract. Enron continued to recognize future profits, even though the deal resulted in a loss "This will definitely be a success. The OUYA will sell like a smartphone and everyone will buy a new one each year!"

Fallom posted:The Android scene is kind of sad because people keep making My First Android Game and posting it on Reddit with some story about how hard they worked on it and how much it would mean to them for it to be successful. Probably the same people who screamed about being discriminated against when Steam Greenlight established the $100 dev accounts to stem the tide of people posting racist MS paint 'games'. That and the outpouring of 'gamer journalism' criticizing a $100 barrier to entry to (maybe) sell games on the biggest DDL platform around are pretty much the OUYA's targeted market. BREAK THE CHAINS OF THE BIG 3 (AND STEAM'S EVIL DRM)! KOOOOOOOOOOOPLAAAAAAAAAAA!
