The Ouya: An Android ICS Gaming Console
- Thread starter ixIGamerIx
- Start date
I hope so, with the way things are going they might be able to make at least 7 million and with that amount of money it better be able to sell internationally

Judging by the games requested by its backers there will be a lot of annoyed backers as many have requested games like modern warfare 3 and other ps3 or xbox 360 console titles.
They seem to think it will be that kind of console, it won't. Good system but those kind of backers will be dissapointed.

They mention that rooting wouldn't void your warranty, but what would rooting the ouya actually allow to do?

:crying: too bad, I have bad experience with customs, I have to pay a lot import tax....
For me it's a rival for Nexus Q, and the features are so huge. Imagine using a vnc in LAN playing your favourite MMO in the TV or watching your films of your pc with a lan shared folder or as a multimedia player or only to play angry birds...
I did a thread 4 this too

Personally, I'm very interested in this. I know people that have PS3 and 360 and maybe even a Wii and PSP. What's $100 for an open source device that will more than likely sync with your Android phones, and tablets, as well as your Nexus Q. If they can get a serious following and development, I think it's the start of something we've never thought of before.
I'm not sure if anyone else sees it, But I honestly think that we owe a lot to Android concerning the rapid improvement in mobile technology. All that innovation. his will only add to it.

why market it as a gaming console? Why not a multimedia device that can do Netflix, youtube, or any of the 600,000 apps in the android market? There are four TVs in my household. We already have a PS3. But I can see a use for the Ouya for the other 3 TVs.
I already have a slew of Android phones around the house, and the android tv (?) lol. I'm in the market for one or two more phones and possibly a Nexus 7 and/or Xoom tab. Why not go all out and get a Nexus Q and a Ouya!? I'm game for it.

That was exactly my thought. A gaming/multimedia device. It would be a perfect little device for that. As far as hardware it's nothing amazing. Most current Android phones already easily pair with controllers and output via hdmi to tvs. So hopefully the games come through for it to push it over the top.
I'd also like to see it have 2gb of ram, because 1 will be/already is old news.

OUYA began as a project concept like many, but has quickly set itself aside from any other project that may have been like it. In the course of 8 hours, OUYA has raised 1 million dollars as a new Kickstarter Project, and this is not even including the other 29 days left for funding (people must really wanna see this come to pass). Here is why its so great (SPEC CHECK):
- Tegra3 quad-core processor
- 1GB RAM
- 8GB of internal flash storage
- HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
- WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
- Bluetooth LE 4.0
- USB 2.0 (one)
- Wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button), a touchpad
- Shipped Android 4.1
Pretty impressive right?Due to the unexpected increase in funding, we could very well see an increase in that internal flash storage, maybe even an expandable memory slot, who knows. But all of that Tegra 3 quad core, ice cream sandwich, 8 Gig goodness is not even the best part! This console has been rumored to hit a TV near you one day for a mere $99. That's right, you could Enjoy all your favorites, whether you're a shooter addict and have a taste for some alien slaying in N.O.V.A. 3, or maybe you like to feel the virtual wind in your hair in a nice race in Real Racing 2, and for you people that love to serve your country, shoot a couple of spies in Modern Combat 3, all for less than the price equivalent of 2 new Xbox 360 games. Not to mention, with Android's recent participation in Major League Gaming, this could set the bar on a new plateau. The (virtual gaming) world is your oyster, and these are just the hard core games, the sky is the limit with compatibility due to it running our favorite sweet treat OS version.

And for all you developers and hackers, this is your call to fame! the console is (and I quote from the people that made it) "hackable". read this quote from Mobile Magazine:
Perhaps the even bigger kicker is that there is an open SDK where they promise to provide digitally-delivered titles for free. I imagine the marketplace will start with a handful of freeware titles and free-to-try games, but it has to open up to paid games eventually.
So any and all (LEGITIMATE!!!! NO PIRACY IS CONDONED, but then again, that's Android's major loophole with the whole Open Source thing) hacking and modding is welcomed, say goodbye to JTAG-ing or jumping through hoops to make your console your own (you paid for it so you should be able to do any LEGITIMATE, cant stress that enough, modifications you want! get the message Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo?).
So, you could spend $400 on a Galaxy Tab, or even $200 for the Nexus 7 for HDMI output, OR you can pay $100 for a console that (due to the vigorous nature of the Android Community) will inevitably get full access to the Google Play Store for you to play your favorite games (and maybe apps, don't quote me on that though) on your 1080p HD screen. BUT I'm just the messenger droid, the real magic is happening behind the scenes and hopefully we can get some awesom updates! Stay on the lookout for this project, and keep on gaming!

UPDATE I !!!
Onlive Available on The Ouya at Launch
The Android console Ouya has signed a deal with cloud gaming service OnLive, meaning hundreds of games from over 80 publishers will be available when the console is eventually released next March.
UK boss of OnLive Bruce Grove said, "When OnLive first heard about OUYA, we were excited to see console gaming becoming more available and open. Like OUYA, we came to gaming with a new vision for making top-quality gaming accessible to more people, and we continue to look for ways to expand on that vision.
"OUYA is rethinking the console business, making waves by using standard technology to make gaming for your living room accessible, affordable and more innovative than ever. In OnLive's case, we pioneered a groundbreaking, cloud-based system that instantly delivers games to any device on demand."
Design Still in Progress

UPDATE II !!!
Square Enix has announced it will release Final Fantasy III as a launch title for the Ouya console in March 2013.
In a statement translated by Square Portal, the company promised that they will also be providing more content in the future.
Final Fantasy III originally released on the NES back in 1990 and became the first Final Fantasy title to sell over a million copies, but has since had a 2006 remake for the DS. It seems this is the version Ouya owners will be getting as this was ported for Android devices last month, which is the operating system that the upcoming console will use1
Think about it, I can give sprint $200 for the EVO 4G LTE, plus pay $8 a month for insurance because I may haphazardly break my phone to the point of no return and need it to be replaced because sprint doesn't support root-related actions even tho HTC kind of does, be stuck with it for two years, have to pay another $10 for HDMI out and only have all of 3 hours of play because HDMI uses the charger port, or I can pay $100 for ALL of that plus unlimited play and hacking and modding allowed and provided by the developers. I can take 2 years of the money I gave to sprint and time I gave to them, and buy 3 of these lmao
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app1sure, its a great idea and of course im gonna buy one of these, but you cant say that it is much cheaper then a ps3
because, look back in end of 2010, desire hd was release (acualy i got one of these) and know, shadowguns isnt running so good on my phone that i would like to.
and this is the problem, phone-hardware is developed so fast, you cant even play a year with that device (except on onlive, cuz its only streaming). so a year after you need to buy ouya II or what ever. a ps3 lasts for more then 4 years and thats where the ouya is more expensive
but ill give it a try and we'll see what the future will bring maybe a port to other devices of the ouya android rom? would be great for sure 1Lol sorry for that, this was pretty old and I thought the thread died so I just left it. I'll update as soon as possible now that I see people are still interested.
