Did anyone even buy this thing?
I don't know anyone who owns one.
VoreTechz1985 It is the console of choice for the RLM Corp
VoreTechz1985 I did
VoreTechz1985 it interested me... but had nothing other than phone games, there wasnt enough reason to invest in one.
VoreTechz1985 I don't know anyone who owns a PS4, but I'm sure people are buying it.
I was maybe ablout to buy an ouya because of the emulator fuctions on there. But because of mixed reviews i did'nt..
And nothing of value was lost.
I feel really bad for them. So many people backed them and everything seemed to have high hopes. Then right after out its released, everything came crashing down and they have not been able to get back up. All of their supporters gone in an instant. That has to feel terrible. I don't know what they did to deserve this.
Yami Most startups fail. That's just reality.
***** yeah. It's called making a half assed console.
Yami The thing sucked pretty hard though. Like it was such a low quality for such backing, it was not what it promised.
better products > high hopes
Yami You dont have to do anything for things to fail that hard
I predicted the death of the Ouya the day it was announced. lol
Xenosaga ftw lol
Kos Mos That sounds like it was a self fulfilling prophetcy to me. Gaming would be so much better if people supported and embraced new things. The Ouya could have been good.
Kos Mos Modern day Nostradamus right here.
Zjokolade No…..
KosModamus :)
As did I. I always thought it was a dumb idea especially when they tried to market Angry Birds as one of the reasons to get one lol.
Rich, please put the name of the game in the videos again. This looks very interesting but there is no way for me to figure it out.
Its half life 3. Wait. What?
***** Thank you!
He ignores us because 80% of the comments are trolls.
Resistance 2 (PS3) just confirming it.
blinx503 It's the Last Guardian PS3
Rich please stop, we know you hold majority share in OUYA stock, we know you're trying to pawn off the stock to unsuspecting blackmen in the RUclips community. It's time to put a stop to your schemes #downwithOUYA #stopyourgreasyagenda #freethecucumbers
RLM CORP - Pro-OUYA, Anti-Negro, Pro-Cencorship
Uncle Phil REVIEWOUYAUSA RICH IS SECRETLY A ILLUMINATI CUCUMBER VENDOR SNAKE OIL SALESMAN
It's sad, but the people behind the Ouya screwed it up. The Ouya could have succeeded. The interest was there but they botched it by having a half-baked, uninspired and laggy GUI, not having nearly enough *good* cheap software on the thing that can't be had elsewhere already, and an unresponsive, buggy and cheap feeling controller. It also didn't help that the store consists of expensive downloads you could buy on other platforms, bedroom-developed shovelware by middle school kids that aren't even worth the price of "free", and retarded distraction apps that don't belong on a game console. There were a lot of things that should have been fixed, but overall the Ouya ecosystem feels half-assed, even now after several updates. What a waste of potential.
Austin Mackert
would have been better had it been running *either* a better version of Android (as-in, all the normal stuff works), or a more full-featured Linux distro (maybe with a nice shell on top of it), and was more friendly with being plugged into PC monitors or capture cards (vs requiring an actual TV).
a lot of this stuff made it virtually unusable for the most part.
actually much more enjoyable to develop software for the Raspberry Pi, IMHO. then one can write all their code in good old C and C++, with no need to deal with NDK and ADK funkiness.
likewise goes for the rather mutilated versions of both the C and Java runtime libraries (though, Android in general isn't such a great platform for people who aren't really so keen on writing code in Java).
like compiling stuff on the RPi is *slooow*, but at least the development environment isn't a mutilated half-broken mess.
Austin Mackert Not to mention the shit took wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to long to come out every one who was interested stopped giving a shit.
Austin Mackert who is the ouya for anyway?
Austin Mackert Some of this is to be expected such as shitty apps. That is how a truly free market works. If you want a closed system with approvals in place, that's what the Nintendo and Sony consoles are for. Well, at least did. I guess all that shit will be available on their markets as well. Still, most of what you said nails the issue.
A Gamer Aaron I totally agree, it's something that comes with the territory.
Rich, i think you owe the Ouya an apology.
LOL
albozru1e Profile pic fits.
albozru1e lolo
Does he now?
Who want's to bet the Shield TV will end up killing the OUYA? I mean it's basically the OUYA but also with PC games (potentially) on ultra and AAA games like GTA and Bioshock.
***** Darren Childs They recommend 5-10 Mbps for 720p 30fps and 30-50 Mbps for 60 1080 (which also needs wired.) Ive tried the 720p 30fps (wireless) and it works fine, and don't have great internet.
Welcome to Hell It does, you need around 10Mbps for 720p 30fps (which can be wireless) and 30-50Mbps for 1080p 60fps (which must be wired.) You can also steam your own PC game to anywhere now which probably has the same requirements.
***** The Ouya was dead on arrival.
***** the new shield WILL kill the ouya, with it's tegra x1 chip and other specs it's going to be a beast, i can't wait to get my hands on one.
HUYI1 Me to. I'm probably going to sell my tablet because I don't really bring to anywhere and I want that built in Ethernet port. Also the idea of playing Metal Gear Rising (aka the game that make prosesors cry) on it.
The fuck's an Ouya (rhetorical question)?
***** It's all ogre now...
Cherry Pauper steam machine prototype but kickstarter.
it allowed people to mod it to play whatever old school game they wanted or homebrew games or pirate games. it also let you play android games.
it had a slim exclusivity game list that got quickly ported to steam, xbox, playstation, and wii u E-Stores.
a lot of people who looked into it, thought it was the shit, but that's the sad reality, it wasn't advertised as user-friendly enough to keep someone's interest.
it marketed itself as a "android console" so people got the impression it played games you can already play on your phone, thus no one gave a shit about it and people who understood it, knew they could do what it does on a PC.
Ouya is ded.
A Android home console.
Cherry Pauper 'OUYA' is the cry you make when your 200$ is stolen
***** xD niceeee
The Ouya is still a better console than the Xbox One.
The Ouya looks like a fancy case for a Raspberry Pi.
Which is probably what Ouya should have been in the first place.
+Schwarzer Ritter No joke.
I hated how Insomniac made Resistance 2 to mimic Call of Duty.
Love how it's a better game though, I'd take resistance over that shower of shit advanced warfare any day
Aside from the genre, I never felt like Resistance 2 was ever like CoD. The game feels way more different.
John Doe Yeah resistance 1's old school one man army approach had much more appeal and suited its gameplay style. but back then COD/halo was supreme and anything that didnt include 2 weapons system/checkpoints/invincible allies was considered dated. damn shame though
Like Call of Duty wasn't a mimic? Ffs
I'm buying for tree fiddy.
you been playing my favorite game from the PlayStation console :,)
Pc master race
***** Resistance 2
Darren Childs DID SOMEONE SUMMON ME?!?!?
Darren Childs oh yea because smash 4, killer instinct 2013, halo mcc, infamous, and yoshis woolly world is on it.
Darren Childs Could you not start shit for no reason? I'm a die-hard PC gamer but there was no need to even say this.
NOW I OWN AN OUYA.
The 64th Shadow haha. better library too!
AfroSnackey Ouya aint got shit on my PSP, Wii, and GCN back ups
The 64th Shadow better yet. A hacked pspemu on the vita and a hacked Wii u Wii mode
Its more expensive though. But that's what I'm doing right now.
McallMiles Why? You can't even tap into the extra RAM or CPU of the Wii U or PSvita.
Plus, with Wii you can play GameCube backups.
The 64th Shadow dont forget modded orginal xboxs there still kicking to this day.
That's why pc master race is the best
Sleepy Dude Go away.
We are the master race #PCMASTErRACE
Okay guys I'm all about the fucking Master Race but its getting irritating and annoying now, it was cool for a month but now we look like tools spamming PEESEEMASTERRAAYSE every fucking time. We are obviously the Master Race WOOBTY FUCKING DOO now get over it
We are just making sure they know
Know what? That you have a superior PC and that gives you authority over who?
And is anyone surprised by this? Nope!
I still have my Ouya, is the best thing EVER if you're into emulation, just this little set top box you can plug in to the tv and just have all your retro gaming stuff on there from Atari 2600, SNES and even some later consoles like the dreamcast, n64 and ps1 :)
RubberDucky How much do emulated games cost? I've been thinking about getting into retro gaming and buying a Sega Genesis, but if I can get all the games I want on the Ouya it would probably just get that instead. What is the selection like? Most the Genesis games I want are rather obscure and not that popular.
scottthewaterwarrior LoL, this is the best part about it, they are completely free. you will have to download the emulators from the Ouya store and most them are free, other cost like 2 bucks maybe. And after that you just go to a website like Coolrom.com and download all the retro goodness you want put them on a USB and just plug that bitch right into the Ouya and the emulators will recognize the roms just like that :)
RubberDucky The only thing is most games have glitches. For example, Jet Moto 2124 has many glitches concerning floors and skies. Also, you can't run emulated PS1 games at 1080P, which a 400$ PC can do.
Toad Well yeah it's not perfect but it's still great
RubberDucky Yeah, it's great for the average gamer and it's a great introduction to emulation, but the sad thing is my 20$ garage sale 10 years old computer can run PS1 games at 720P, a thing the Ouya can't do.
It's sad....because I totally forgot about this thing lol
Perhaps if you supplied elephantine monetrey jack with his ¥23791.00 he could have bought an ouya and saved the company.
R.I.P. Ouya.
Rich I'd love to hear your opinion on the Retro VGS. It came to my mind when you were talking about removing the middle man and how the OUYA was supposed to be all about the developer.
If Large Hadron Jibini had his 200 cheddars, he could have bought an OUYA.
ReviewMyPingasUSA USA Unsupplied.
"Great idea, poor execution"
The only people "excited" for this had no idea of what the players already have and what devs are about (you know, "cash").
Nobody wants to develop for a new obscure low tech console when you can already have wet dreams (yet almost impossible to achieve due to lack of luck) of a "flappy bird success" on android / ios. Making a shitty game and getting huge cash out of it outweighs the free spirit of indie devs (who are just as greedy as anyone, really).
And for emulators ? Come on. Any pc + xbox360 controller + hdmi can do it for the tv and if you want a portable gaming emulator, you can get yourself an old cracked psp that will run anything around and below the ps1 era.
Don't get so naive from any shit announced on kikestarter.
This channel should be renamed "The depressed video-game nerd"...
Haha I feel like the Ouya was one of those things where everyone was like "Oh yeah we'll toootally support you man, I am definitely going to buy one on my way home from work... tomorrow.... I swear!." and then everyone didn't.
My Galaxy does everything the Ouya does and more ...
razer brought it, and destroyed it.
ccateni WAN *bought it and euthanize it because it cant be helped anymore
Wira SW wut
ccateni WAN yeah theyre already destroyed far before razer bought it. all razer did is 'ending its suffering'
Wira SW ah, ok
The Nvidia Shield TV is literally what the Ouya shouldve been. It has triple A native games, and the ability to stream your PC games to your own living room. Not to mention the hardware is no where near outdated, and from what Nvidia has showed us, it has a bit more power than the 360, which is awesome for what it is. Cant wait for it
ZeldaMaster32 True the hardware is better BUT it is also triple the price last time I checked.
And some may say the price is still high. But when you look at its hardware, and flagship smartphone hardware (both run android, so its comparable), the Shield is years ahead of its time. Not only that, but most flagship smartphones are $500-$600
ZeldaMaster32 It only comes with 16gb tho. That's kind of a rip. Ya I'm sure you can add external storage but that's still cheesy.
Well think about it, you're not gonna be downloading games more than 5gb on this thing most likely, so you could just used a 64gb micro SD and you'll be set
My sony Xperia z1s can run better than the ouya. now that's sad.
Maluhia808 ikr
If you want gaming there are boxes that do it better (vita tv for example at 70 usd)
If you want streaming there are boxes that do it better (tons of em)
Ouya was a innovator but rarely the first of a kind gets it right, the early copy cats usually win.
I use my Ouya all the time, but not for its intended purpose. It's a very low-power device (meaning small power bill) and I run XBMC (media centre software) on it, which allows me to access several terabytes of (legally obtained) films, TV show and anime. The Ouya plays all of my media with no quibbles. However, I can count the number of games I've played on the Ouya on my hands.
Still, it's sad to think that those who bought the device as a game console may effectively be left with a paperweight. Think. If they go completely out of business their marketplace will shut down too. If the games (I'm not sure if they do) require Internet authentication they will stop working. It sounds like it'll end up a real fiasco. While it is possible to load software onto it with APK files, this requires a little bit of technical know-how that I don't think the majority of customers will have.
the fact that they are still around is nothing short of a miracle lol. i expected them to be on deaths door a lot sooner.
I'm not surprised that the Ouya failed. It didn't catch on and it wasn't necessary.
I think people disliked the video about Ouya being dead because it had only been a few months and it was too early to call without giving it a fair chance. But you were right anyway.
At least the ouya is going out with a "oh yeah"
Just the name sounds stupid. If they had named it something better there's no doubt it would of sold better.
SupaMario81 Oo-yar...sounds like a curious pirate...
I remember when I first heard it I thought sounds like a shitty console. The name sucked ass. Where the name come from?
Wth? lol
SupaMario81 I actually like the name alot. But welp, it's just opinions.
Android box one and android station 4 sound cool or better yet android U!
I will buy it...wait, is 200$ enough?
#youthinkitsover200$#neverforgot#comeatmebro#200$
;-;
Nein, Dagobert Duck said 200 Taler are not genug.
The main problem with the Ouya is the fact that they did not plan it well AT ALL.
People were giving them money and they were working on a console that took far too long to produce. By the time it was ready to go, it was already technologically obsolete. There were phones that could do everything the Ouya could, and there was no need for the thing to exist.
They didn't think long term, and I think that was ultimately their biggest mistake.
I swear, gamers make me embarrassed to be a gamer. Whoever thought "oh wow, an android console is going to be awesome, regardless of my tablet and phone doing the same exact thing" was a good investment (8.5 million dollars worth), they need to never do anything financial ever again except pay bills.
samus1225 Except the idea is to play android games on a TV, it WAS good at the time until both Google and Amazon killed it by enabling the same thing a full year (if not more) after it came out.
JukaDominator
OUYA killed themselves by having their own Android based OS which resulted in a very delayed launch, which then left the console dated at launch. And the games had to be ported from Android to the OUYA instead of Android games just being released on the system like Android phones and tablets.
UK Kev Yikes! Should have just been a streaming box for Android games I think, it'd beat Amazon and Google's idea and get tons of cash.
I don't see the value of an android console when I can easily hook my phone to a controller and a TV and get the same experience without unneeded restrictions. My game library would consist of mostly emulators though lol. You know what I think we need? Someone needs to create a decent PC Console based off something like the raspberry pi. But with hardware capable of playing AAA games. THAT would sell. I'm sure someone will try it at some point. Just gotta get around the issue of re-compiling everything in ARM.
The fact that they lasted this long is amazing. I'm not surprised they're in debt. What business did they own before? I know just that much less about running a business than they do.
For a little more you could buy a decent tablet with micro-HDMI, hook it up to your TV and use every app you wanted! Also apps like Netflix weren't available for the Ouya and had to be manually sideloaded. And the app stutters like hell, so the Ouya can't even be used as a simple streaming box for your TV. And if that's what you want, then Amazon (Fire TV and Fire TV Stick) and Google (Chromecast) have better products for less money.
Basically the Ouya failed because it banked on a small niche market. Those who already owned consoles, PCs, good smartphones and tablets didn't really need it in the first place, since all those devices could do what the Ouya did.
Hello ReviewTechUSA! I just wanna say to you that your chanel is AMAZING and I realy like the way you speak because you telling a truth and you speak from your heart. Keep it up man :) you doing an AMAZING work! With RESPECT from SWEDEN
I remember first hearing about the Ouya and, after seeing the unit's shape, it got me thinking about the mock commercial for the joke console called the iBox, basically mocking Apple's line of products at the time. I liked the ideas that went into producing such a console, but eventually it got eclipsed by companies like Amazon, Google, and Mad Catz producing the same kind of system, only better. It's hard for me to see myself owning an Ouya now that I have a Fire TV and a Nexus Player. They did their best for what they started off with, and I hope the best for them wherever the people of the company go from here.
The Ouya is a great emulation console. Actually impressed with what it can do. I didn't buy one cause I heard that it can't Emulate Ps2 games. I would get it if it can so I won't have issues with emulating on the damn PC.
Ps2 emulator runs flawlessly on my home theater itx pc. Booya!
***** you just didn't optimize it right. It has a few bugs but no game breaking bugs. Some versions of the same game just don't work so you get a newer revision or an older one or a different region code. Just look at the capability list. Most will work fine.
Simon Phung Ha ha!
Even my PC has hard time emulating PS2.
What made you think OUYA had any better chance at it?
I'm just shocked I can emulate PSone games on my Galaxy tab S tablet. The only powerful android hardware is the Nexus 9 so cross fingers if a PS2 emulator can run flawlessly.
***** my Galaxy s3 can emulate ps1 games without issue, but don't even try to play Conker's Bad Fur Day (6 fps). Thankfully I have a computer that can run anything, so there's no need to upgrade my device
If PlayStation TV couldn't become a massive hit, then there is no future for microconsoles
Ouya needed to be released in 2010. Had they found a way to stick two duel-core SOC together and gave it 2 GB of ram back before phones started using quad-cores; I think Ouya would have generated enough sales momentum to hold on.
The failure of OUYA should serve as a lesson for fledgling gaming companies to do their homework and understand how the game industry actually works. The whole Android operating system was a terrible choice for the OUYA, as you could just buy a tablet and download similar games from the app store, as well as having MUCH more functionality than a dedicated game console. It's like pushing two-way pagers as an SMS communication device; why not just use a cell phone? The free-to-develop and publish model they used sounds good on paper, but as we have learned from the video game crash of 1983, you need to have publishing control and ensure some kind of quality standard so that consumers don't get burned by crappy games again and again. And not to mention the low-quality OUYA controller which might was well be a crappy 360 controller knockoff; you could plug in other controllers, but that defeats the purpose of even designing a controller for the console in the first place.
Developing a successful console costs hundreds of millions of dollars. You have to design all the hardware, the firmware, software, online functionality, first party games and launch titles, etc., not to mention the costs for marketing, localization, and testing the damn thing, and finally, manufacturing each system. It's one thing for a big company like Sony or Microsoft to pull together the funds and develop a next-gen console; it's another thing for a startup company to try to mimic this process using Kickstarter funds and 3rd party investors. Don't get me wrong, developing a console that can compete with the current gen systems can be done, as we've seen with the Sega Genesis, the Sony PlayStation, and the Xbox 360. It isn't cheap however, and requires a serious investment that most small companies simply aren't capable of.
Well the OUYA lasted longer than I thought it would.
The CEO seems to have such a great personality
All I remember from the OUYA was a bunch of funny videos of the frog game but that's about it lol
see-ya, ouya...
We're there any ouya fan boys ... I doubt it
+PikaJor Ouya fanboys don't exist
Me..........
They did exist. See Rich's previous video on the Ouya and look at the ratings.
Noticed target pulled all of the ouyas of their shelves about a month ago. I knew then it was the end. It didn't even clearance. When target did have it, it was displayed outside the sweet spot on the shelves. It was the orphaned child in electronics. A great piece of tech I'm sure, but in a crowded fickle market.
This is really challenging nowdays for small companies in tech world. They have idea, gather money, go to production and finally sold to consumer. But from the time of idea to final product for small group it takes long time and by this time idea already became old because technology has moved ahead to next generation and final product became out dated even before coming to market.
The ouya is a textbook example of how marketing alone can get a product reach certain heights. with good marketing you can make a plastic bag filled with horseshit look good.. and i mean an actual plastic bag that has horseshit in it. not speaking in metaphors there.
the OUYA was a great idea on paper. Android games on TV but like you said, it was the poor execution and now its dying
Wow. The Ouya had so much potential too!
+JHopkinsmusic1 It really didn't.
the ouya did start the fad of microconsoles, which was an original goal of ouya inc. and hell i got my money's worth out of it a hundred fold. i love that little box.
+king0vitrial What the hell is the OUYA good for? Emulation? Why can't you do that on a PC?
+Ivo Robuttnik At the time I didn't have a good PC, and even now that I do, the emulators on my ouya still run better than on my PC. I won't sing its praises but for 100 dollars it was money well spent, and I still like using it here and there.
I bought my Ouya not long after they went to retail. I bought an extra controller and a 500gb portable usb hard drive to go with it. I intended to use it as an emulation machine but the terrible controller lag just killed it for that purpose. I haven't touched it in about 5 months
I have an ouya. It was a very cheap console. Given the price I got my moneys worth out of it. played some games on it. I think the one of the reasons it failed to take off was the lack of official channels. (Netflix,Hulu, etc) The other big weakness was its crappy wireless reception. It would have been awesome for cloud based gaming. I bought an nvidia shield a few months later and really haven't used the ouya much since.
This is a perfect example why crowd funding does not work..
Everyone who put money in it is now going to lose it when the company folds and they will have nothing to show for the money they wasted.
It's sad, because the Ouya is a fun console. Has some great games on it, and of course emulation has been great on it. Sadly it had it's issues, and really no one wanted to give it a chance.
Still best emu player on tv
or hook a computer to tv
Rich, I think you owe the apology an Ouya...
I really hope that they can keep there company or whatever so I can get one this year for Christmas!! please, I would love to support them and keep them going :)
RIP in peace Ouya, you tried.
Yeah it sucks but the writing was on the wall from day one. I originally went to back the project, created a account and initially backed it. Then I saw the planned release date, and saw that they didn't intend to update the hardware to the newest chipset, I cancelled.
If the OUYA came out three months within the Kickstarter project, the console might have seen more successful, even to a point where we would have seen version 2 by now, but they took too long to come to market.
I have an ouya. My daughter calls it the heehaw. Anyway, its good for helping your tv become a smart tv. I use it to play xbmc, you tube and things like that. Games are ok, but nothing special.
They should have worked the smart tv angle better.
If you're smart enough to sideload apps, you can do a lot more. We listen to spotify.
I can send my pics and videos from my phone to it.
That's why you don't crowd fund garbage.
Plain and simple.
"According to a confidential email..." Nothing is confidential any more.
So sad, Duff-Man really liked the Ooooh ya
Am i really the only one who knew this idea, itself, was a failure?
Let's make a console for cellphone games...
and Rich claims he got negative feedback for the truth?
Obviously no one owns this thing, so who's getting mad?
I also threw MAME on mine and have a Mortal Kombat arcade stick hooked up to it. Instant mame machine.
I would have bought ouya if they had steam and also allowed in-home streaming. This would of save me from buying another computer to steam my gaming from office to living room.
I had the feeling it was going to end like this.
Without the games to sell the console, they are screwed.
Its a shame, i never expected it OUYA to succeed l, i expected it to be one of those trends that everyone forgets abou
Or in some cases never really heard of
If they had made it an ubuntu or similar OS based machine and had been proactive with upgrading their hardware they'd be in better shape but they stuck with the bog standard unit. Their lack of evolution and their decision to use android was their downfall.
i was really excited for the OUYA 2 to come out then found this
For some reason, the interface had very laggy scrolling and many 2d games too. I wanted to play a version of giana sisters with a joypad, but was put off of how jerky the scrolling was. I don't know why, because the specs are good for even 3d (shadowgun looks very smooth) but some of the 2d games have buggy scrolling, maybe it's not the machine's specs, but something the developers didn't do right?
But it was nice for what it was (I am not expecting AAA, it's just homebrew and indie, but many titles which is good), I was actual impressed they managed to pull it and have over 500 titles on the market.
One does not expect commercial console or PC qualities from hobbyist consoles.
i think its over,we couldnt find a buyer in a month so i think they dont have enough money for OUYA 2 and to keep it going... goodbye OUYA we will always remember you R.I.P. OUYA 2012-2015 never found a buyer in time
If the Ouya would have come with a Tegra 4 instead of 3, then gotten a K1 upgrade it could have been viable as a robotics brain.
1,000 apps != 40,000 developers
wrong idea.. wrong execution. you're fucking fired.
I dont know if the OUYA was a flawed product or just a flawed idea
Tegra 3. Hehe, that thing is ancient. The Tegra X1 is where it's at.
The problem was, first, technologic. The Ouya is a mobile phone and as all mobile phones, as soon as you try to run both the CPU and the GPU at full speed at the same time, it overheats even with the weak fan they added. Because of that, the CPU and the GPU throttle. But it also affects the controller. People thought there was a problem with the controller itself but it works perfectly with a non overheating device. And then, the biggest games were only android versions not optimized for the OUYA. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, being an open source device, moding and piracy is even a bigger problem on OUYA than it is on PC.
I wanted it to be so awesome.
I was going to get one, but recently i decided to just buy a Raspberry Pi2.. which Rich, i'm surprised you never talked about it.
It's a small computer, not too costly, and meant for schools.
I only know about the ouya for about 5 minutes and I saw the potential in this little box that can run realy fun indie games altho the lack of graphics and all of that for barley a 100 bucks, its sad to see that it didnt turn out eventually, guss im late for the party. its always sad to see great ideas failing, another round for the big companys.
Ouya, I think you owe Rich an apology
Ou um no. Retro VGS will be reviewed next on Rich's channel. Maybe Ouya should join up with Nintendo. Ouya Nintendo! Ouyando
Ouya is what i shout when i have a satisfying shit.
Great game you're playing there. I played all three and enjoyed each one.
Frankly, im surprised they lasted this long. It was readily apparent soon after launch that not only was the niche market never goi g to amount to much, but also they never expanded in any real way. Did anyone major ever turn out anything on the platform other than a token offering to test the water? No.
They also showed their incompetence on a couple of occasions, most memorable being their royalty/rewards thing.
I will be shocked if they find a buyer, as there is nothing of value to ve gained, not even in IP rights.
Sad really, but this wasnt unexpected.
Hang on. 1,000 apps and 40,000 developers?
Isn't that actually a rather worrying admission that only 1 in 40 developers maximum have actually bothered to produce for the console?
I don't feel bad for Ouya because of the simple fact that when it was released there were plenty of cheap, portable options already out there. The system suffers from the serious problem of being a solution for a problem that never existed.
Damn, I was looking forward to it too. Well, that's that.
Ouya was one of the biggest gaming fails of the past 5 years of my opinion.
