The Verge writes: "We don't often report on startups without a physical product to their name, but when you've got sponsors like Ouya does, it's hard not to pay attention. According to a posting on AngelList, Ouya has recruited the talents of Yves Behar to build a $99 Android game console that you can connect to a TV, with a high-concept developer ecosystem that's as free as can be. Any developer will be able to publish games, claims the listing, and all games will be free to play. Even the underlying hardware is "built to be hacked" — every customer who buys a retail box will get a dev kit in the bargain, the site claims."

just check out that last one, it has better graphics than plenty of current gen third person shooters and with proper non touch controller could be a great game
Gaming already is in a black hole of shovelware, thanks to Nintendo.
This wouldn't make it any worse.
really?
I'd rather see more things like the full port of Max Payne 1 for iOS. Portable ports of older games, not half-assed 2 hours versions of what's popular on consoles.
As for graphics, Infinity Blade 2 is the only game I've seen which genuinely has console-level graphics. It's definitely doesn't look better than newer releases, but a high-res screenshot could easily pass for a console game. But it also has the advantage of having Epic Games backing the developer, and uses UE3.
could the fact that they would be free on this new console be a reason enough to play them over current console games?
@Imikida
the point is that they would free on this console, who cares if they're rippofs if you don't pay as long as they're fun
@victorGma21
I already have a Vita and a 3Ds, as well as the 360 and PS3, my point was that if you're interested in games like I am, you can't miss the ones that I listed, especially if they're free
@n4f
if it is for free, then yes, play the rippofs, all that matters is if you have fun or not
@Blackdeath_663
I said Shadowgun has better graphics than SOME current TPS, like maybe Wanted Weapons of Fate, Dark Void, Red Faction Armaggedon and stuff like, whether the graphics are better or not is a matter of opinion but anyone can see they're on a similiar livel to those games, plus, they would be free on this console
of course the games on Vita and 3Ds are betterm but those cost money
I have Shadow Gun, and its just a Gears wannabe with a lame story about doing chores with guns.....and Dead Space is just a highly restricted game that proves why touchscreen gaming SUCKS, and nothing more. I also have an Xperia Play, and still admit a lot of these games suck even with proper controls.
This sounds like a gimmick, but I will reserve judgement until I see and try it.
It's not that farfetched.
I think this is very interesting. It's going to spark a whole new trend especially in indie development.
Curious, hope to hear more about this soon.
"Ooh they released new version of Mass Puppet for this console? appget.co it is. Yep, we have depositfiles.com mirror there for version 3.20. DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE!"
^^ That's what most people do.
Derp.
Theres no way any self sustaining piece of gaming hardware can thrive on free games. There has to be something more to it.
Im thinking more along the lines of, Free to Play MMOs. They may be free initially, but there are microtransactions involved. Like in DCUO for example where you can play for free if you want. But if you pay a few bucks you can get the top gear in the game in just a week or two.
I think theres much more to it and we shouldnt jump to conclusions, the games that will be released on this system will probably be very random in how theyre acquired. Some will charge, some wont. Kind of like the apps on an iPhone...some people charge, some dont.
But in order for this system to sustain itself it might go the way of using ad revenue to market to the millions of inevitable gamers on the platform.
Thats one viable way they can support a system with "free" games.

Gotta find a educated medium.
You won't be seeing a Skyrim available on this platform, that's for sure.
log-on to facebook = free games
you have android phone, tablet = free games
you have ipod, iphone, ipad = free games
open your pc, go to the internet = more free games
this device is pointless.
and don't start with third world bulls!t because with that price tag, people in the third world cannot still afford it.
You can say free games aren't where the markets at, but I think Team Fortress 2 has proved that is pretty wrong since it went free. Crytek even said that their games will be free to play, and I highly doubt they would say something like unless it was actually more profitable (what company would want to earn LESS money?). But I guess there isn't much point using logic on a forum full of 12 year olds, so I guess we can all go back to PS3 vs Xbox360 debates.
So basically and Android console. A novel idea but quality will keep us gaming on our Playstations, Xboxs and Wii U. Android games are fun in bursts and free would mean alot of corner cutting and not the production value that we have become accustomed to from the big 3.
I'm thinking games like Airmech by carbon games.
I know I will get disagrees but whatever.
Do you mean sue? If that's what you mean, no. No they wont. They have a stronger suit against Nintendo and their Pro Controller for the Wii U.
