  • Oo yarr. Could also be for farmers and surprised pirates.
    I saw Bayonetta on sale for £4 the other day. Xbox 360 version, on a disc. Mobile prices for a brilliant game - even mainstream gaming can be super cheap if you're extremely patient...

    • @cycopl
      @cycopl 7 лет назад +8

      Serious answer, same point as other android TV consoles. You can load streaming video apps on it and use it as a media center (Netflix/Hulu/amazon/etc) or you can get into more gray area stuff and load Kodi onto it with an addon like Exodus and stream free movies/tv shows. You can load NES/SNES/Genesis/etc emulators on it and use it along with the included controller as a retro emulation console. If you have a modern Geforce card in your PC you can load Moonlight game streaming onto it and then stream games from your PC to TV like that.
      There are obviously alternative methods to doing everything I mentioned, but that would be the point of the Ouya if I had one. I got something similar, a Mad Catz MOJO for like $50, and use it exclusively as a Kodi streaming device.

Playing without a problem might be possible if you don't mind frame stutter and latency issues. I'm really not sure how Ouya can actually get wrong what phones get right.

      Felamine you're in luck. I just bought a device to use PS2 controllers on the original Xbox. Doing a search for your needs, I see a few things in a similar $60 CDN price range, but the ChronusMax plus seems pretty flexible for its size. Do your own searches for comparison, including terms like "adapter".
      Also, google "xbox shaped ps3 controller" it's another option, but less flexible, and varying build quality

      Austin, Crazy, that's why Steam Machines are such a great idea. There's already a huge install base and a huge library of great, full games (not all this phone game rubbish). And while yes it is techincally a glorified PC, it's the fact that it's so user friendly that makes it great for some of the less technically minded people. Oh, and let's not forget that it's Valve we're talking about here, not some random company who's only made a vibrator and some iPhone speakers.

      That was the whole idea. Some people doesn't like "pushing button" on the screen. Not the same feeling as holding a controller.
      Considering there are allot of on-line battle games it could have taken that place on the market (even get exclusive android games that are meant for ouya due to controls). Unfortunately, they did not go that, wankers.

      Actually, I don't think the Ouya is that underpowered. Sure, it's not as strong as a gaming PC and stuff, but it does have a Tegra 3 processor and 1GB of RAM. The Tegra 3 is a quad-core 1.7GHz processor, which is pretty strong. Some popular desktops/laptops on the market don't even have that. Heck, only the really popular and high end smartphones/tablets come with such a processor. It also has 1GB of RAM, which isn't that much, but most smartphones/processors only have 512MB or 1GB, so it's equally matched. If it had more RAM, I would think it would be ahead of the game.
