Do you think this is even realistic?

Thread title: 
I've been reading about that for a while now.  I considered making a pledge, but I'm too afraid of getting ripped off.

there's no reason to donate - they've already reached their funding. like i said in another thread, it looks like a neat idea (though the console is underpowered as shit), and if it ends up getting a bunch of cool games i'll buy one. if not, oh well.

Their funding made me chuckle.  They wanted a million in a month, and they got it in one day.  Last I checked they were three days in with over four million.

I like the way that they've openly invited every geeky hacker to go nuts in modifying the machine, as well as the stuff that runs on it.  You know some super nerds are gonna have it homebrewed up the wazoo. aiwebs_004
I don't mind low specs. I consider it a console for refined oldschool-gaming. Compared to snes there are worlds in between. I think there is a need for that because the jump to 3D came way to early back then. So there is still a big gap left to fill. And only using 2-3 watts leaves a certain economic beauty to that.

What is ugly though is the insecurity of the system.

fuck that, there's more than enough crappy 2d platformers to last anyone a lifetime
Almost happy
There's not nearly enough good 2D platformers though...
red chamber dream
yes there are. the best one in fact is on a modern console. imagine that.

can't fucking stand assholes who cling to the retarded notion that 8- and 16-bit games are inehrently vastly superior to anything else. no. they look like shit, they sound like shit, and often they control like shit. let's move on.
Almost happy
lol I didn't say anything to the contrary.
Almost happy
There's never enough 2D platformers though. Best genre.

There's never enough FPS games though. Best genre.

oh yeah poision have you played red faction: guerrilla? you would probably like it but i don't know if there's multiplayer or anything. just a really fun sandbox game where you can destroy literally everything.

That's my saying, that is why we need to move on. 2D games are not limited just to crappy platforming. Can you imagine a sophisticated sidescroller-Metroid? I can.
red chamber dream
<nintendo> so can we! here's other m!!!!!!!

TrapThem is more sophisticated than most 3D-games on the planet. Why? It actually has physics in it.

Try to get that:P
red chamber dream
isn't that the game you're making?
Sure, I am the one to fill the gap.

But seriously, 2D-space has gaps to fill. I will do my best to contribute my part over the years but I cannot talk for others. Often 3D-games can learn a lot from
refined 2D games. It doesn't all have to go to waste.
red chamber dream
no, what you can't talk for is some game you've allegedly been making for the past several years. you don't get to compare your "game" to portal until you find a publisher and release it.
Whether or not with publisher support, it will come out. One of the best puzzle-games you will ever find, pushing your creativity to its limits. How do I know it? I understand systems.
red chamber dream
k. i'll believe it when i see it.


actually i won't play your dumb game >__>
If you don't play it you won't know it.

Was just jokin since there are at least twice as man 2D platofrming type games coming out than FPS games.

I actually bought that on steam over a year ago, totally forgot I had it. I'll try it out.

I sent the tech-team of ouya a message how to improve the controller. I pointed out the importance of 2-in-one shoulder-buttons for more advanced controls. Both, Julie and Muffi, replied telling they like the idea and see what they can do. I am happy that they seem to get the message. I hope it will go somewhere.
