Randoman Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Here's a video about what the Ouya is. And here's a picture of it: So basically, it's an upcoming open source video game console made by Android that aims to make game developing much more accessible and much less expensive. All games will have free-to-play demos and will be downloadable instead of retail. It'll also be sold at $99 USD. As for the controller, here it is: The action buttons being labelled as O, U, Y, and A make me chuckle for whatever reason. Current titles that will be released for the Ouya include Final Fantasy III and Minecraft. So what do you guys think about it? Also, are there any other details that you want to share about it? I barely know much about it myself besides what's on that video and what's on wikipedia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolguy Fawkes Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 seems to me liken an ripoff of x360..... though i do understand why they would do that cuz its good money. but xbox 720 will probalby be even more advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) From the video, it looks like their selling point is that it's open to indie games; if that proves to be absolutely true, then this'll be a huge step for indie developers. Iono, I'm definitely looking forward to it. Edited October 3, 2012 by · j e a l o u s y · Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esme Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Wow, it looks really cool. Apparently it's going to have a lot of F2P games. I wonder if ROTMG will be one of them... (I hope so!) Edited October 4, 2012 by Esme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'm excited for it but I have this overwhelming feeling that it's going to fall flat on its face and be really awful. I hope I'm proven wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I love the name. That's about all I can think up in terms of commentary on this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 It might be cool. I mean, I personally don't play very many indie games so I probably won't buy it anyway if that's its library's selling point, but it looks like it could be a hit with the casual market/people who want a cheap console with media center capabilities. I hope it sees success, but as said above I get the vibe it's more likely to flop hard. hate that controller though, what an ugly motherfucker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just stared into the screen for ten seconds trying to process your post. Have you read what the Ouya is? I don't think you got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'm really not interested in the slightest but good luck to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esme Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Oh my god, it's freaking tiny in the videos! Ha ha, that's pretty different for a console. Oh, and that controller is cool. REALLY cool. The whole concept of the console is really interesting to me. I hope it does well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 That is possibly the worst looking controller/console I have ever seen. Sony they are not, lol. Then again, making sexy looking hardware didn't win them the last race. I think this console is going to have a very hard time finding itself a dedicated fanbase.

Gold Vanguard Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 99$? Thats pretty cheap for a console. But I would buy it if that controller didn't look so god awful, just look at that D-pad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Does it really matter what the controller looks like? I mean, I usually look at the screen while playing video games, myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
