A conversation with Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman

- The idea of a $99, crowd funded, open source gaming console might have seemed absurd a few short years ago, but that just goes to show how things have changed. Launching last week on Kickstarter, Ouya quickly set the record for the most money raised in the first 24 hours on that site. Now over five million dollars, Ouya seems destined to become the largest Kickstarter project so far. IGDA board member and Xbox co-founder Ed Fries will interview Julie about her company and the opportunities and challenges they face in the months ahead.
Delivered at the IGDA Summit @ Casual Connect Seattle, July 2012
She came off way better here than in the Josh Topolsky interview.
I'm enjoying the feedback from the microphones. Props to the sound guy if there is one.
all these sad comments under me lol
Stupid people :D
@@Metsys turns out they weren't that stupid after all huh? How ironic
@@imakelovetoyourmommy5203 They were stupid.
I don't mean to be a naysayer as I feel the idea of a small upstart challenging the "Big 3" is way overdue but I'm really not clear on how the Ouya differs from any one a thousand Android TV boxes already on the market. I just ordered one with Ice Cream Sandwich, comparable specs, 1080p support (even included an HDMI cable); picked up a wireless keyboard/ controller (with touch-pad) all for $80. Aside from Jellybean, am I missing any other benefits with the Ouya?
The ouya sucks this game console flopped hard all that money for the backers down the drain in 1 year
I really don't like how she responded to malware or worse IDENTITY THEFT, my credit card number better be treated with the utmost discretion I don't want these open developers having full access to my card numbers they should be handled exclusively by OUYA and no one else.
Interesting part about Nintendo's controllers being the opposite of Xbox- when really, the Xbox is opposite of the layout since this layout has existed since the SNES.
My prediction is that many crappy games and copyrighted ideas will eventually pollute the OUYA until the idea falls apart.
Games need a wall for developers to climb over so that every idiot in the world doesn't wander into that territory.
On my fun road down watching Ouya videos, this comment made back during the launch sums up everything. It's blatant that it was an underpowered android device that you couldn't take with you anywhere. It was the worst of both worlds, mobile games are fun cause you can play them anywhere and console games are able to be great because of the power of the hardware. But the overall flaw was the oversaturation of crap games made by anyone. No one is gonna want to buy it if the games suck. There is no reason to own a console aside from the games. Why else would you buy a video game console other than to play good games?
is that u Nostradamus?
Why can't u just use your tablet and connect it to your TV and use a Bluetooth controller?? Don't see my i would buy this
9 years later and obviously no one bought this ridiculous thing for 99$ cause you could easily connect almost all your Android devices via Bluetooth...and obviously no one was truly interested in developing games for this thing cause it was as powerful as a potato...
You are absolutely right, after having spent some time with the developer kit; this is set up to be a game playing console first and foremost (unlike most TV boxes, which are essentially Android running mini PCs). Ouya is definitely taking a different approach than I initially expected. Will be interesting to observe how GameStick and Esfere compare.
Can't wait until this all blows up.
lmao this didnt age well
@@painapple8072 hahahahahahahahaha
@@painapple8072 Technically it aged perfectly. He got to enjoy the short, awful road on the way to Ouya's failure
Anyone with an IQ higher than 70 knew that this piece of crap would be a failure...a piece of hardware which let's you play games on your Television? According to her it was revolutionary (the millions of people who played Xbox and Playstation at that time disagreed....🙄)
Not really android is plug and play, most games support controllr now
That's because people like you aren't willing to give it a chance. The console will fail because of people like you. The Ouya is a good idea in my opinion, and I can't wait to get my hands on one.
Thanks for uploading!
The idea of a $99, crowd funded, open source gaming console might have seemed absurd a few short years ago, but it definitely seems absurd now.
it's absurd how he's comparing XBox to OUYA -- saying that OUYA doesn't have $5 billion to spend on distribution is like saying "but a mouse weighs only 5 ounces, how can it possibly be more agile than an elephant?"

maybe she should make a special credit card that you can buy at your local store that has credits and buy can buy different cards each with different amount. like maybe buy $100.00 worth of credit this way you don't have to put your real CC on the line. kinda like xbox live where you buy points cards and wii.
I'm a sound tech...all the feedback...it pains me.
This is going to be Amazing!....cant believe people are still hating after so MANY people have clearly shown they want it
lulz
lmaooo
lmao this didnt age well
@@painapple8072 Just because the product turned out to be garbage, doesn't mean the initial demand before release wasn't high. If anything this comment and video is a warning of the dangers of over promising and severely under delivering.
Moore Thomas Perez Daniel Rodriguez Brian
Why?
The television!
You hit the nail right on the head besides it makes games more accessible to kids whose parents do not want them to use their CC's
OUYA is extrapolating it's early success as why it will be good. I really hope that this turns out well though, otherwise it will end up crushed in a desert somewhere.
lol
The awkward moment when an Xbox co-founder pulls out his iPad.
...why?
This is good good. I'm honestly not a big gamer outside of console gamers and MMORPGs. But I am getting this console for my cousin because he's not as biased as me. I wanna get him a console where he can play more games and a better variety. That's the issue with today's market. Not enough games. And most tablets are well over 200 dollars.
lmao this didnt age well
I know right. That being said, Ouya isn't the only console failing right now. Just look at the Wii U and even the Vita. People aren't willing to give new ideas are chance. Too addicted to their Call of Duty and crap like that.
Perez Gary Williams Jason Taylor Sarah
I'm getting one for sure for the emulators on the tv, everything else is a bonus.
Julie looks like she's in pain every time she smiles.
a couple billion dollars to make xbox?? what??? why??
Touchpad controller must be good if Sony just stole it for PS4
I'll get the console if i get julie with it.

For you it seems absurd, I mean, look, now Android is one of the OSs most used in the world (not iOS), so is actually a good idea of making an Android Gaming Console (actually nobody makes you buy it), and hear to her... She says that this console is perfect for devs, because basically this console is the result of everyone's work, so if you think is shit, ok, it's your opinion, but for me being an dev, I think this is a really good idea,so...
Can't wait to buy an Ouya :)
Part of the problem with this console is that gamers, and people in general, are very ungrateful these days. There is a MORE, MORE, MORE mentality about today's generation. That is a big part of the reason this system will fail. People expect too much and are not willing to give new systems a chance. The Wii U and Vita are both failing also. People are only looking forward to the next Call of Duty or game with super HD graphics blah blah ultra realistic bullshit games.
