EDIT: The Kickstarter for the project raised it's 950,000 dollar goal in only 8 hours. Wow.

Yeah, it sounds friggin' awesome. A cheap console where innovation could thrive? Want.

This does sound vaguely awesome, but I don't know if I can see it taking off.

It sounds really cool and it seems like it has the potential to be something special, but we're only seeing the pie in the sky version of it right now. Anytime a new hardware...thing is announced it either A: doesn't live up to its promise, or B: never even materializes. I sincerely hope OUYA ends up being a great success because this is exactly the sort of thing that I've been wanting for a long while. However, I'm also fairly skeptical about it currently. |

That is another issue, if this basically ends up being phone games on your TV then I'll have zero interest in it. Which isn't to say I want it flooded with AAA games necessarily, but I'm hoping it attracts games of much more substance than Angry Birds and the like.
Stuff like Braid, Limbo, Bastion, Spelunky, etc. I'm hoping it becomes a dedicated console that sort of upper crust of the indie games scene. Last edited by Soapy; 07-10-2012 at 06:52 PM. |

Not much else to say. You guys have the same thoughts on it as I do. It's crazy to see it at 1.5mil. with 29 days left to go though. If it gets high enough, it might start to draw the attention of some legit devs.

Are those good specs? 1 gig of ram doesn't sound like a lot.

PS360 only has 512mb, but Next Gen should be higher. This is like a Tablet that hooks up to you TV, spec wise at least.

Haha.
![]() They raised the $99 option from 10k backers to 20k. This thing is going to bring in a bunch of money.

The biggest problem I see with this is: how many people within the conceivable target market for this don't have a PC that can play indie games via Steam? If the Ouya doesn't provide a compelling advantage over just downloading Steam, I don't see it spreading. Because realistically, that's its competition, not portables.

I'm starting to lean toward getting one now, just for the emulators and media capabilities. Hope we get some comments from the bigger devs to see how they feel about it.
