Marcin Bohdziewicz i get the purpose of the ouya it is supposed to be a budget mini console like the ps tv, Apple TV, razer shield tv or Amazon fire tv
Serious answer, same point as other android TV consoles. You can load streaming video apps on it and use it as a media center (Netflix/Hulu/amazon/etc) or you can get into more gray area stuff and load Kodi onto it with an addon like Exodus and stream free movies/tv shows. You can load NES/SNES/Genesis/etc emulators on it and use it along with the included controller as a retro emulation console. If you have a modern Geforce card in your PC you can load Moonlight game streaming onto it and then stream games from your PC to TV like that. There are obviously alternative methods to doing everything I mentioned, but that would be the point of the Ouya if I had one. I got something similar, a Mad Catz MOJO for like $50, and use it exclusively as a Kodi streaming device.
"This controller isn't bad at all" "The D-pad is shite" "The analog sticks are too stiff" "The buttons have been reported to stick" "The touchpad is horrible" That changed real quick
How many have you sold? A lot. Can you tell me how much? A lot. You're not going to give me a number are you? No I'm not. (takes another bite out of the apple you never saw her holding beforehand)
Remember that time when people said that this would be "relevant" and it would "change gaming". I want to have a long discussion irl with those people who shilled this shit.
ahaja007 Everyone I've seen play it have gotten frame lag down to around 20fps, runs much better on my phone at higher settings. Playing without a problem might be possible if you don't mind frame stutter and latency issues. I'm really not sure how Ouya can actually get wrong what phones get right.
Cyrlan Gaming I fucking died when she said it was the only controller to have a touchpad (or whatever she said lol). I wanted to fucking slap her in the face for saying it was the only controller to have a touchpad, I mean is she fucking stupid.
> Makes promises of it being open > HDCP can't be turned off, and all games have always-online DRM, making them unplayable now that the servers have been shut down Truly a revolution in the video game industry.
Dylans VitaReviews My main complaint about the PS3/PS4 pads is that they are too small for my freakishly giant Frankenstein hands. If there was some kind of mod to get the Xbox 360 controller working on the PS3/PS4, that would be awesome.
Felamine you're in luck. I just bought a device to use PS2 controllers on the original Xbox. Doing a search for your needs, I see a few things in a similar $60 CDN price range, but the ChronusMax plus seems pretty flexible for its size. Do your own searches for comparison, including terms like "adapter". Also, google "xbox shaped ps3 controller" it's another option, but less flexible, and varying build quality
It’s crazy but modern day OUYA is still alive because of fans making new servers and games. It’s also now possible to use your own OUYA as a standalone server.
@@kiefac Well, if by saying Android “TV box”, instead of Android PC, you’re implying hardware barely adequate enough to run Android, let alone run it well, I’m inclined to agree… I’m just really surprised, or maybe I haven’t researched, that better single-board Android-compatible hardware isn’t out there… I’m likely overthinking it -they likely went cheap, and the billed it as “console”, only to fail…
I actually think some tablet hardware would best the Ouya hardware. I mean, if the controllers were decent you could argue actual controllers over virtual, but the Ouya controllers seem bad…
steam has been around for a long time, and has way more users than xbox and ps4 combined times two. literally. its a new type of console that pret much brings ALL the games onto one cosole.
crazypirateninja Austin, Crazy, that's why Steam Machines are such a great idea. There's already a huge install base and a huge library of great, full games (not all this phone game rubbish). And while yes it is techincally a glorified PC, it's the fact that it's so user friendly that makes it great for some of the less technically minded people. Oh, and let's not forget that it's Valve we're talking about here, not some random company who's only made a vibrator and some iPhone speakers.
11:38 "Hidden in plain sight is one of the very best XBox live arcade indie game..." I had to listen three times before getting the name of the game (which was actually hidden in plain sight...)
My friend had one of these android boxes, but one a lot shittier than this one. We tried to play street fighter 4, he told me it was identical to playing on a ps3, so i hit him in the face with the controller. Shoryuken!!
+darkespeon64 if I wanted to get android on my tv, I would connect my pc to my tv and use the free android emulator that google puts out for developers, it works fairly well and I have it installed because I flashed my phone.
+darkespeon64 That was the whole idea. Some people doesn't like "pushing button" on the screen. Not the same feeling as holding a controller. Considering there are allot of on-line battle games it could have taken that place on the market (even get exclusive android games that are meant for ouya due to controls). Unfortunately, they did not go that, wankers.
+darkespeon64 Seriously, this. All it is is a tablet without a screen and very mediocre specifications. How could anyone have expected this to work? It could've gotten moderate success if the hardware was actually top-end, you know.
Ou-Nahhh is my reaction to how bad this console ended up turning out, it was so bad that one of my middle school classmates who had one said he smashed his to pieces after experiencing how bad it was.
Funny thing about listening to these videos when you're doing other stuff, I sometimes mishear things. When he said you could naughtily side-load using the USB adapter, I heard something like "nautily," as in somehow side-loading with USB in the middle of the ocean. This is not an interesting comment.
i got a Silver PS2 slim and around 50 games (still had 10 or so of mine) off ebay with 2 silver controllers for $60, seems like its going to be about 10 times the entertainment the ouya can offer.
daliesandmentlegen The ps2 was undoubtedly better technology-wise than any other console for years to come. But it never quite captured some of the unique qualities of the NES that made it great. I don't think they are comparable.
My issue with the Ouya is it's price. I mentioned this on another video somewhere, but it's $99. Fair enough, so about £62 at least? Nope! £99. A straight conversion, that's not how currencies work!
This kinda fails even as an Android Box, and all the hype surrounding it only to see the community go from expectant to salty in no more than a week is almost cringy. Who thought playing Candy Crush-tier games on a TV was a good idea for sales and innovation?
Jonathan Gerardo i'd assume the idea was that it would let you play games like goat simulator mobile that are..essentially pc games so there isn't MUCH point, buttttt I would imagine that was the idea. Along with emulators I imagine.
if they treated this like a better Roku streaming box by having native capabilities for Netflix and Hulu and what not along with the ability to play Google play games and roms, while having a shop for original games made just for ouya, it could have been good
Well the batteries it comes with are Duracell those are also good batteries usually these things come with cheap generic off brand batteries (if they come with any at all)
You complained about having to record your TV with a camcorder, but in my opinion, this is the best looking video with potatovision that I've ever seen. Honestly.
Well, he has the advantage of having a half decent camera and a tripod to put it on, and the presence of mind to turn the lights off and lock-off the exposure, instead of doing the usual thing of pointing a hand-held smartphone at the TV with the room lights on and exposure set to auto...
Probably a hijacked delivery truck, or maybe a Yodel (as-was) van driver got desperate and decided to make a charity donation out of what was left in their load bay at the end of a shift.
I was rooting Ouya to actually succeed. Glad I took the "wait and see" approach. Last time I went back to try and order one, everything was "out of stock".
BugPope In hindsight, their marketing campaign was fucking hilarious. "What if you could hit a button and reset the entire games industry." ... Indeed.
just searched google to see if they where still in biz. their main site taken about 5 seconds to load on 100Mbbroadband... i guess they are swamped with purchases ................ (lol?)
meroinheroin Or you can put down shitty emus that need BIOS files and STILL can't load the sixth layer of graphics, and use John NES, John GBC, My Boy!, Snes9x, Mupen64Plus, ePSXe (which does require a BIOS, but how could you avoid that with a PSX emu?), and PPSSPP.
Ah yes i want to play barbie clothing simulator realistic 2016 2017 2019 2020 free 0$ with barbie girls for absolutely free 2021 good clothes baby game on my TV
My uncle was a beta-tester for this thing, so he managed to pull some strings and give me one for free. Despite its flaws, it was seriously my childhood. I got it in the first grade, and it was my first console. It was a bit buggy looking back, but I loved it none the less.
"designed in California" As a Californian myself I can tell you that means it was designed under conditions of exorbitantly high rent, and should have been designed somewhere with a better real estate market, to save on costs. FYI: "Designed in California" is actually just as much pretentious twaddle as "Dreamt by gamers"

4. Let blood flow into the carpet and on the knife.

Serious answer, same point as other android TV consoles. You can load streaming video apps on it and use it as a media center (Netflix/Hulu/amazon/etc) or you can get into more gray area stuff and load Kodi onto it with an addon like Exodus and stream free movies/tv shows. You can load NES/SNES/Genesis/etc emulators on it and use it along with the included controller as a retro emulation console.

Well, he has the advantage of having a half decent camera and a tripod to put it on, and the presence of mind to turn the lights off and lock-off the exposure, instead of doing the usual thing of pointing a hand-held smartphone at the TV with the room lights on and exposure set to auto...
It still baffles me How the hell Ouya got 8.5 million backing funds.
Thinking about it, it probably got stolen and sold 2nd hand after some thief looked, didn't care, and tossed it!
LOL
Probably a hijacked delivery truck, or maybe a Yodel (as-was) van driver got desperate and decided to make a charity donation out of what was left in their load bay at the end of a shift.
This thing is less powerful than a cellphone without the portability
Lol this proves how much of a joke kickstarter projects are
RogueGamer25 star citizen would be good if it ever comes out
Shovel Knight was a kickstarter project and it was my favorite game from 2015
wasn't Mighty No 9 a kickstarter project?
some girl woke up one day and said “lets make a console for playing flash games on the television”
This is a 1$ PC basically
@@mas7rreaper126 for $60
This video came out 2 days before its retail release.
I was rooting Ouya to actually succeed. Glad I took the "wait and see" approach. Last time I went back to try and order one, everything was "out of stock".
I had an Ouya. it was the biggest pile of crap ever. so glad I sold it after about 3 weeks.
Ouya? More like OuNA! UP TOP!... Anyone?
Really? Not one person?
***** Apparantly 3 people, including me. *high fives*
***** *slap*
Oh shit, I missed. Let me try again...
*slap*
Damn it! Let me quit while I'm ahead.
***** ouya board
I got it after about... 26 minutes.
Ayo who else got this recommended 7 years later
Me, lol

A console made especially for pretentious hipsters. No wonder it went so wrong.
BugPope In hindsight, their marketing campaign was fucking hilarious.
"What if you could hit a button and reset the entire games industry."
... Indeed.
Dayne Fishwick Yeah, it was just as smug and pretentious as you'd expect from a console for hipsters.
BugPope It was a terrible thing
BugPope i was watching a video and the guy said that the ouya was more powerful than the xbox and ps4 combined
Idiot
Klassic Gaming So powerful that it ended up in debt
Would be cool with a re-visit to the Ouya, a look at the newer system updates maybe, and the newer games.
just searched google to see if they where still in biz. their main site taken about 5
seconds to load on 100Mbbroadband... i guess they are swamped with purchases ................ (lol?)
They probably run their site on a rasbery pi b+ by the responsive site...
They were bought by Razer, so yes.
razer them guys who sell shiny over priced gimmicks? :D
David Power no, the shiny gimmicks aren't overpriced, considering that people buy them like crazy.
My roommate bought an $1800 Macbook, with specs far lower than my Asus Laptop. People buy overpriced things for no justifiable reason all the time.
5:42 My thoughts on Mighty No. 9 backers who were disappointed.
The buttons are ok, the D-Pad is shite. When he said shite my kidney came out laughing.
i just noticed action buttons spell "OUYA"
Wow, you're fast!
xXBananaBrawlerXx are you alive
xXBananaBrawlerXx aldı the reply has 3x more likes than the comment itself
wow this woke a memory
Wow, I forgot all about this thing
We all did.
"They asked for something like 27 cents and got 11 billion dollars or something like that"
Lol
I saw a little glimpse of Zelda: Majora's Mask in this video... Zeda is one of my favorite game series 🙂 I like the music of Zelda games 🎵🎶
If we had an Ouya for iOS, I would actually play the GBA4iOS emulator. Trying to put GB controls on a touchscreen was a horrible idea.
Illoosion GB as in GameBoy?
Mhmm.
Illoosion you can get Gameboid or N64oid on android devices
I agree with you cause i played metal slug on gba4ios and because the buttons are not physically there, I lost like shit
meroinheroin Or you can put down shitty emus that need BIOS files and STILL can't load the sixth layer of graphics, and use John NES, John GBC, My Boy!, Snes9x, Mupen64Plus, ePSXe (which does require a BIOS, but how could you avoid that with a PSX emu?), and PPSSPP.
The OUYA flopped more than a fish out of water.
"Dreamed by gamers."
Ah.. yes, because we know that all real gamers love mobile games!
They forgot to mention that it was nightmare lol
Ah yes i want to play barbie clothing simulator realistic 2016 2017 2019 2020 free 0$ with barbie girls for absolutely free 2021 good clothes baby game on my TV
I don’t have an android or an ouya or an Xbox so I really wanted to see game footage of Hidden In Plain Sight, oh Ashens
A hipster console was bound to fail.
As soon as it became popular they didn't want it anymore.
Yes, but can it blend?
This is how you know a product is gonna be incredible, when people are already trying to get rid of it before it's even released
Okay, now I've seen a few of your videos, In which you have made me laugh more than once, you have earned my subscription good sir!
My uncle was a beta-tester for this thing, so he managed to pull some strings and give me one for free. Despite its flaws, it was seriously my childhood. I got it in the first grade, and it was my first console. It was a bit buggy looking back, but I loved it none the less.
You’re still a child
Never thought I'd live to see the day where someone's nostalgic for this thing.
Ok Zoomer
"designed in California"
As a Californian myself I can tell you that means it was designed under conditions of exorbitantly high rent, and should have been designed somewhere with a better real estate market, to save on costs.
FYI: "Designed in California" is actually just as much pretentious twaddle as "Dreamt by gamers"
I definitely don't miss California
I have to admit, I would buy the Ouya if it didnt have its problems and was a decent console.
That's the most stupid sentence I've ever seen
If I thought it was worth buying, I would buy it. Yeah...
It's the BEST sentence
What?
then buy nvidia shield tv
"dreamt by hipsters" would have been a more appropriate subtitle.
This is like the Tiger R-Zone of the 21st century...
This would have worked if it had actual games
Ouya, I just wasted my money on a box that doesn't have any games
Hey, I remember this video.
This is the thing that introduced me to Ashens
