I Bought An Ouya In 2019

The Ouya has now gained internet infamy after smashing records on Kickstarter as a new game console only to fizzle out in just a few years squandering millions of dollars in the process. The system did have a devoted fan base when it released, however even the die hard Ouya fan has recognized the system's demise. Today we will be taking a look at the system and take it a part to see what was inside.

Fun little fact but before the file I still used Ouya normally for a long time, then I got the dreaded popup, that I cant remember but googled to find out it had trouble connecting to the servers, cause they turned off and my ouya was assuming wifi was off or something, that took years to happen, and the fix was simple and made tge games free too so extended the Ouya life too. I dont think much is left for my method in current day. I google some and there was a vid in 2014 that talk about SuperUser installing. But idk, i just found a we site blog, that told me to make a text, with a url pointer and resnart the system, but honestly dont recall then maybe me finding the tvt i made and copy that. Idk.

AT GAME BOX

[@jeremycarrillo7399]

I was an early backer of the kickstarter for the ouya. At the time I was in school for computer science and one of my emphasis was in game development. The ouya gave me the opportunity to develop and deploy games to a console like device and it was a great learning experience. This was probably the consoles biggest positive that I feel gets overlooked. As a new developer there was a great lack of tools to learn on and break into the field. The ouya sought to fill that need and I feel that it did. I had a great time playing games like tower fall as well as trying out many of the game demos. It reminded me of the early days of magazine game demo discs. I never experienced any of the issue people talk about and still to this day use it for game streaming to my tv via moonlight and emulators. Which cant be said about much of my other early release tech. (Looking at you Oculus Rift DK1 sitting next to my CV1 and Pimax 5k+) Overall the ouya was a good experience and was a good prototype for an android based tv experience. There is much hate/debate but for many the console was a great success because it fit their needs.

[@Bro-cx2jc]

I have one too and I enjoy some of the games, even Ouyacraft, which is just a cheap version of Minecraft. The cool thing about all the games is that they can be played on almost any android device if you pull their files from Discover. And the Ouya can play other android games too (although when you try things like Baldi's Basics it kinda suffers a bit lol)

coffee115, people watch more TV now than they did in the ‘80s, but a lot of folks pretend they don’t, because they act like ‘tv’ means ‘live broadcast on major network via antenna or cable service’ when it doesn’t anymore. Netflix and the like are TV for sure, whether it’s on your phone or a CRT, but people pretend they’re ‘better than that’ because they watch their five hours a day on streaming, whereas my 1.5 hours of LMAD and WKRP on broadcast get me some snooty looks by people who waste WAY more time on screen-fiction than I do.

[@Mii.2.0]

Still better than Souljail Boy's consoles.

[@Micaheichelberg]

She said they could because the PS4 wasn't released at the time of the interview. The Ouya released in June 2013 and PS4 released in November 2013. Julie wasn't a great executive, but her phrasing was purposefully highlighting that she was holding a production piece with the touchpad at a time that the press hadn't touched a PS4 production controller.

[@EvilLucario]

Even then though, the Wii U GamePad was a thing.

[@Micaheichelberg]

@@EvilLucario The Wii U gamepad had a resistive touch screen. The Ouya controller has a capacitive touch pad. It is actually a pretty expensive and unnecessary addition to the controller. You can get an aftermarket upgrade for the Wii U gamepad to make it a capacitive touch screen. Either way the touchpad was expensive and pointless. It was meant to facilitate easy ports for mobile teams, but they never used it and it doesn't work for most sideload titles.

[@kateschmid2889]

I thought she was just deflecting the question to save face.

[@PsychOsmosis]

I loved my Ouya! It was the perfect couch-multiplayer console, even though they could have made it a bit more powerful (I wouldn't have minded paying more), before the Switch took that crown nearly 2 years ago. Also, when the Ouya first released, every game on the store was required to have a free demo available, but since many devs didn't want to code a demo for this console and it limited the amount of games available on the console, they lifted the requirement after a while. Looking at your controller, it seems to still have the original right faceplate. They released a free faceplate replacement that you could request on their website with larger holes for the 4 face buttons. So don't be surprised if they sometimes get stuck under the faceplate when you press them.

[@Bro-cx2jc]

Maybe they could have released an upgrade version that did all the same stuff but had better specs. So that on the original, while it could access all the content, it wasn't powerful enough to run the higher powered games and apps, and the upgraded one could. So budget users could still stick to the cheaper one if they didn't mind sticking to the simpler games. GPD did this, and while their console didn't exactly take off like mad, it worked out okay for a while. However, GPD doesn't have a native storefront, so there are probably better things to compare with.

[@millitron3666]

I love the idea of putting the batteries in the handles. One of the big causes of wrist strain from gaming is the weight on your wrists. Moving the batteries down to the handles moves the center of mass to a more comfortable position.

[@Bro-cx2jc]

Yeah I don't know what the issue with that is at all, but people complain about it for some reason. Who cares where the batteries go? Do they power the controller on properly? Are they tightly held in place? Good, move on.

[@conchobar]

Todays' tech media loves to troll past tech failures. It wasn't nearly as bad as they make it out to be. Who hasn't played a mobile game and wished you could play it with a controller? The Ouya was suppose to be that solution. It failed from a CEO who was not familiar with gaming and a lack of focus.

[@LordTimelord]

I had an Ouya since just after it's retail launch. The Dual Triggers work differently. The TOP Triggers are Digital, and the BOTTOM Triggers are variable input like an old Analog input. It allows you to apply (for example) partial throttle or brake in a racing game for example. The particular one I got was one that had the updated controller that had it's fit and finish improved over the original Kickstarter ones. It works perfectly fine, with no issues. I use 2,600 mAH NiMH AA's in my controller instead of Alkaline Batteries (I don't want to have a Alkaline Battery leak and ruin my only controller). I didn't pay for it on Kickstarter. Instead I bought mine at Best Buy a couple of months after it released (when I knew that the controller issue had been corrected).

[@LelandReview]

Ya great console, the controller had good and bad points. Rarely hear about the good.

[@chrisgriffith2955]

I honestly thought it was a great idea. I liked the idea of a micro console that was cheap for the Casual Gamer.

My xbox and playstation library is mainly physical games and my digital games are mainly google and steam. I do have a gamestick but the stick has been converted to normal android not playjam.
