Only Players win... So yeah, not very Ballin'.And that just ain't ballin'
Aw yes, this gun be gud.So, to get back on topic, we've got yet another OUYA thread.
OUYA to Refresh Hardware Every Year
Get your chips in early, folks, it looks like this will be a hoot and a holler.
It does. It's cheap, it has games, it connects to the TV. If those Chinese Wii ripoffs and "10000-games-in-one" consoles sell, so will this. It's more a matter of "I won't buy it, therefore noone will buy it and noone should buy it because [reasons that apply only to self]."it's a matter of whether or not an Android gaming device makes a lot of sense or not.
Good. It's high time for a new one.We've been through this before - during the great video game industry crash.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentalityand although "The Big Three" cause stagnation in the market, it's this stagnation that keeps it together.
What's wrong with $100 million titles? I enjoy my $100 million titles. As for "risky" experiments, Minecraft much? They're called "risky" because the developer takes a risk.It's this stagnation that results in $100 million titles and no place for "risky" "experimental" innovation in games. Kickstarter is one solution, new gaming platforms is another.
But the publisher doesn't want to take the risk, and the publishers call the shots, and you get a million Imagine titles and Kinect Star Wars.They're called "risky" because the developer takes a risk.
Minecraft proves my point, doesn't it? It had no budget, it was made in a garage, and it was released on the PC, so it doesn't really disprove the "consoles are a horrible monolithic behemoth holding the gaming industry back" thing.As for "risky" experiments, Minecraft much?
So it's all down to advertizing and marketing, and the Ouya has already gone viral. And they have the Double Fine Adventure lined up for launch and a lot of other smaller developers are really happy about the Ouya.It hasn't even been released yet and it already has rivals in its own market, that says a lot. You have the Game Stick, you have the USB+HDMI Android sticks, you have the OUYA and what you also have is a fragmentation of the market.
Not sure why it's such a red rag for this forum but you can't even suggest playing a game on anything other than a "big three" console without people starting to foam at the mouth.
Minecraft doesn't prove your point very well though - it sure as hell was made in a garage and if anything, it shows that with a proper business plan you don't really need a specific platform dedicated to give you "a boost" - it shows that anyone can enter the game at any time as long as they have a great idea, programming skills to make this idea a reality and dedication. Minecraft went absolutely viral not via a crazy campaign of adverisments or a dedicated framework - the gamers themselves did the legwork and distributed the news over the Internet, you can't buy that kind of a campaign for any kind of money and it's the most successful of all. To make things worse as far as your argument is concerned, that very same Minecraft was later released over the "Commercialized" mediums as well - it sure as hell is on Android, iOS and the XBox 360.*stuff*
...and a platform that allows open betas, crowdsourcing, freeware, using whatever development tools you want (Minecraft was cobbled together in Java), and lets you release a free pre-alpha to people to spread around and generate word of mouth... and that leaves you with the PC and Android. And no, Notch didn't have a business plan (Java, remember?), he was just playing around. No console lets you just play around. That very same Minecraft was released on commercial consoles only after it had become a huge hit and made a shitload of money.Minecraft doesn't prove your point very well though - it sure as hell was made in a garage and if anything, it shows that with a proper business plan you don't really need a specific platform dedicated to give you "a boost" - it shows that anyone can enter the game at any time as long as they have a great idea, programming skills to make this idea a reality and dedication...
Are you TaeWong's brother?The Gaia Quotes page in Rydian have censored words about inappropriate language, such as cunt etc.
So, unlock your Poopymon hack topic.
This thread now became coolGaia Onilne has a very strong word filter that replaces the second third etc. letters with asterisks. For example, ass is replaced with a**, cunt is replaced with c**t, vagina is replaced with v****a etc...
LOL, NOPE.I've already warned you about posting in here, TaeWong.
Do it again and you'll regret it.
Really? How fascinating.Well actually he was now banned in Minecraft Forums and Amaterasu Translations.
I know right?Your post topic count will increase in the general off-topic forums, but your post count never increases in the Edge of the Forum.
Do you know how you kill kitten in a humane way when you have too many in a litter? You grab them by the tail with one hand and by the neck with the other... then pull sharply... and then you have kitten rag dolls. Am I crystal clear, Black-Ice?Really? How fascinating.
Please tell me, make this thread a better place
