Title: Ouya Post by: fromhell on July 12, 2012, 08:56:01 PM Heard of this lately? It's a just announced $99 console made from android stuff. (http://ouya.tv)
OA on Ouya would need extensive interface retooling (gamepads, splitscreen, simpler menu) for it to work out.
GPU is still unknown, but if it's gonna be some OpenGL ES stuff, OA3 would really need more priority. Title: Re: Ouya Post by: Graion Dilach on July 13, 2012, 04:24:36 AM GPU ain't unknown. According to the site, they use Tegra and it has internal graphics. http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-3-processor.html
Title: Re: Ouya Post by: greezywoap on July 13, 2012, 06:24:50 AM Would be pretty neat to launch OA3 on Ouya when it's out.
However, if this were to happen, there will be lots of requests for a working campaign-type-thing. Since it IS a console, a majority of console players do not play online. And they'll want something more than a bot deathmatch (as Just a thought :P not sure if that's on your to-do-list. Here to help, regardless. Title: Re: Ouya Post by: .Luke on July 13, 2012, 09:35:22 PM I think it could always be made clear that Open Arena is an arena-style shooter. (Structured more like a fighting game than anything else, right?) I don't mind the way single player is setup as it is, personally, but maybe hilarious, arcade ladder-style story-lines for a few of the default skins could be compiled, like with Mortal Kombat's intro/end clips? (Might not fit into whatever the devs have in mind for single player, though, but I should keep ideas for the Idea Pit either way.)
Don't really care about the eSports idea, but I've always wanted an open-ended game console like this; might just skip shopping for a used Wii (only to run homebrew programs) if Ouya makes it to market! It does its own thing without any of intention of competing with the big three consoles at all. I'm really liking the controller too, and hope it feels as nice as it looks. 8-D I can really see this opening the doors for indie devs all the way, especially with those system specs! If OA is ported over to that console, it would only sweeten the deal for me. Just how much of an overhaul is joystick support going to need, though? Support is already pretty good, but I can't even find terminal commands for analog sensitivity. Can't imagine banging the analog sticks in extreme directions just to hit a constantly-moving target. =P If the touchpad works like any other mouse, would support for that be implemented? I could actually see that being quite comfortable with a single thumb hovering over it instead of my middle finger, like with this laptop. =P EDIT : If splitscreen is added, (Which I've seen two Q3 mods do already.) would the source be easily translatable to the PC counterpart? I could always run separate windows for that, yes, but splitscreen would make the controls less difficult to sort out. Title: Re: Ouya Post by: fromhell on July 15, 2012, 05:56:32 AM Oh, Tegra3?'s a gpu too. forgot.
By the way let's not get too excited about the Ouya..... it's all hype right now. I'm just saying if there was an Ouya for real... Title: Re: Ouya Post by: .Luke on July 20, 2012, 06:56:31 PM If you're referring to me, I did get a bit carried away with the praise for Ouya there. :# I didn't realize soon enough that this was a topic for discussing what OA3 would be like on the system, not about both topics, ouch. It's easy for me to forget these things don't always get off the ground quickly anyway, like the Pandora.
Title: Re: Ouya Post by: Wiiyamoto on September 04, 2012, 07:40:36 PM I think this would be an exciting platform to port OA to. The company ENCOURAGES open source and FREE gaming! Would be interesting to see how the servers and such work. O0
Title: Re: Ouya Post by: Wiiyamoto on September 05, 2012, 02:03:03 AM By the way let's not get too excited about the Ouya..... it's all hype right now. I'm just saying if there was an Ouya for real... It is real and they are launching it to people who pre-ordered one in March 2013, and to the normal consumers April 2013. :D Title: Re: Ouya Post by: PopeJo on September 05, 2012, 05:30:20 AM heard something similar in #xubuntu-offtopic lately:
Code: [2012-09-04 11:40:30] <baizon> now i know why valve is supporting ubuntu I really like the idea, but as I never owned any consoles and am still not interested in them, I can't judge the market at all ... Title: Re: Ouya Post by: fromhell on June 28, 2013, 07:54:32 PM It's out and it's apparently terrible for its controller.
I've also witnessed a forum spambot in the wild trying to promote the Ouya, with bad english... Guess they have their marketing department outsourced, which will only lead to even more bad press about the Ouya for evident astroturfing. Title: Re: Ouya Post by: doubleedgedchaos on September 06, 2013, 10:05:35 PM but I like the Ouya :(
Title: Re: Ouya Post by: Gig on September 07, 2013, 10:48:42 AM Well, if you are interested, two people here are working on the Ouya OpenArena port.
It has not been accepted in Ouya store yet (user interface too much PC based), but they are working on the issue, and i can guess they will be able to publish it in reasonable time. Apposite thread: http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=4822.0 Title: Re: Ouya Post by: Ingesecition on February 05, 2014, 05:58:18 AM so how much is this new ouya going to cost in the UK guys?
