johnny 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2012 Anyone seen this yet: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console I have spoken already to a couple of independent devs who want to be on board with this. I must say this is pretty awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarabix 250 Report post Posted July 12, 2012 Well that doesn't look like too much of a difference compared to playing games on a PC. As much as I like playing games on a TV with a controller I don't really see the appeal. However 31,972 BACKERS $4,103,893 PLEDGED OF $950,000 GOAL 27 DAYS TO GO It does seem to have quite some support Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bloob 585 Report post Posted July 13, 2012 Although this is cool, I think a lot of developers of larger games will be skeptical because of the 8 GB of storage. That's not much at all for something that doesn't support SD cards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FEL 184 Report post Posted July 13, 2012 It's interesting, but I have no idea how it works. The way they explained it makes it seem like everything will be free. But things aren't free. It's cute how they welcome hackers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's cute how they welcome hackers. All the games are supposed free-to-play, which would at least mean paid in-game content. Of course, I'd imagine they'll end up releasing retail games eventually.

I can't imagine myself buying a console with solely free games. It's rare I enjoy a game that doesn't cost even a small price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tayseanpwns 48 Report post Posted September 11, 2012 The idea of welcoming hackers does not sound fun to me personally as a part time gamer It will totally destroy the online gameplay Still it is an interesting idea and I will not make judgements until it is finally released.
