Let the bad jokes begin :)

btw I was talking more about the "Ooh No" in the title

doctorstrange4115d ago

Ohya totally can't wait for them to get kickstarted

danitanzo4115d ago

Jet Force Gemini. That's all I'm here for... :P

dbjj120884115d ago

Ehhh, screw the bears. I don't need to collect them.

TheLastGuardian4115d ago

The name Ouya always reminds me of the battle theme in Persona 3.

dbjj120884115d ago

Haha, nice! Totally see that. Up vote for interesting.

WarThunder4115d ago

Ouya console is useless, its a Android console.... I can plug my S3 to TV/monitor via hdi and attach a PS3 controller via Bluetooth and play games...

deafdani4115d ago

Yeah, I've done that, too, and the experience is far from optimal. Not all games have native support for controllers (none of Gameloft's stuff supports controllers, for once), and many games with controller support is limited. For example, in Beach Buggy Blitz I can use my PS3 controller only in the actual races, but when a run is over, I need to control the menus with the touch screen, so it's a big hassle.

Also, my TV's aspect ratio gets screwed when displaying the tablet's content.

Ouya will have controller support for ALL of its games, and all of its games will be displayed correctly on the screen, without any screen cropping. That alone will make a big difference.

If OUYA lets us play games like Shadowgun, Meganoid, the GTA games, N.O.V.A, Modern Combat, Real Racing, Horn, and nice indie games (2D platformers, etc)... all for the same prices on the Google Play store (usually $1, maximum $6)... then I will be VERY happy.

Ju4115d ago

If there will be games for Ouya. That is. So far there are none. Tegra3 is just not fast enough...

deafdani4115d ago

Fast enough for what? I've seen a few high quality games for Tegra 3 Android devices, but they're usually hindered by the less than optimal touch screen controls.

Yes, we can't expect PS3-level games on the Ouya, and I'm fine with that. But still, the little machine is, in theory, capable of playing good games that look good on HD screen.

You're right that it still remains to be seen whether Ouya will get decent game support or not, though.

Why Dead Space 3 Will Be the Hardest to Remake

If EA and Motive Studio plan on remaking all the main Dead Space entries, they have to change a lot of what made Dead Space 3 so divisive.

Simple, do not bother with a Dead Space 3 remake. Rather have a new entry for Dead Space.

myfathersbastard408d ago

Yeah I agree. Make a dead space 3, but have an original story/setting. They’ve proven they can do the game justice, and I think they could evolve 2 in a good direction, keeping a similar tone. I’d love s Dead Space 2 and 3 though. The remake was fantastic. Top tier remake, up there with RE2.

jznrpg408d ago

Remaking 3 would need to be a reworked and somewhat changed remake as 3 was flawed in most peoples eyes and the worst entry.

Ninver408d ago

It's the worst in the series.

Dead Space 3, A Ten Year Reunion

WTMG's Kyle Nicol:

"Was Dead Space 3 really that bad?

Well, it’s a complicated question. Dead Space 3 is undeniably the weakest of the trilogy. It’s a game that deviates so far from the original formula, that it throws a lot of what made Dead Space special in the first place out of the window. Although, where it does make up for it is one of the best cooperative shooters on the market, even after all this time. Do I recommend playing this game ten years later? Hell yes. But make sure your expectations are in the right place. It has a lot of problems that bring it down."

Making Pokémon 3D Was A Mistake

Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.

why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.

FallenAngel1984490d ago

Answer should be obvious.

No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon
