Tiswaz Entertainment CEO claims developers are only supporting Ouya because they are paid to support the platform.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
“Another month has passed us by and during it, many incredible indie games released so let's celebrate the 12 best from March 2024.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
“February is always a short month but it sure didn't feel like it with all of the top-quality indies that released during it. Let's dive right in!” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Well, that's disheartening to hear...
a trick that won't work on me to get that machine
Ouya has to prove itself as a viable machine. Having a truly open source (and cheap) console is a pretty cool idea on paper, but I have no idea how it can play out in action.
Who gives a crap how they get games & developers on board.. I mean, nobody complained when MS were paying for exclusives & exclusive content, like the massive fail of $50 million for some extra gameplay sections in GTA4, & the like.
Not to mention MS are still paying developers for the same fickle crap....like Activision's deal with COD content coming to 360 a "Whopping whole month" before going to PS3.
As long as the thing gets good games, is all that should matter to any gamers.....the rest is all behind the scenes crap, that we neither need to know, or should care to. I mean, if Ouya gets a range of truly awesome games that are must have's on any system, & they are exclusive, well, then I'd have to think about getting one, as I just want to experience THE BEST GAMES.
So, stop worrying about why & how the system is getting support, & wait & see if developers just bombard this system with shovelware, bad smartphone conversions & such, or if the thing truly ends up a viable console choice.
I mean, anything that isn't MS or Nintendo these days, seems to cop a never ending slew of crap.
The Kevin dude came off as a bit of an asshole.
