AGX-17 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) I don't understand the complaint that it's just a smartphone, I heard that a lot when the project was getting funded. ARM is used in a lot of devices, Tegra is one of a few graphics targeted implementations. The only thing smartphone about it is the OS Android is a smartphone OS. You readily admit that the only thing smartphone about Ouya is the OS. Ergo, it's a smartphone with all the smartphone capabilities removed save gaming apps. Like I said, that does not put it in the same league as consoles or gaming PCs. It makes it a suped-up smartphone (without the smartphone capabilities) meant for playing smartphone games on a TV. http://www.pcgamer.c...1/2013-preview/ Another dry year. Really? This list is ludicrously long. Wasteland 2 is there. Is this because there are no JRPGs for PC? Edited January 6, 2013 by AGX-17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeOcelot Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Android is a smartphone OS. You readily admit that the only thing smartphone about Ouya is the OS. Ergo, it's a smartphone with all the smartphone capabilities removed save gaming apps. Non sequitur? That's like saying that because Ubuntu is a desktop OS if I put it on a netbook, tablet, phone, or server it makes those things desktops. Like I said, that does not put it in the same league as consoles or gaming PCs. It makes it a suped-up smartphone (without the smartphone capabilities) meant for playing smartphone games on a TV. It uses a controller not a touch screen, most smartphone games are made for touch screen and will not be ported. Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is meant to be coming to OUYA, and that's a PC/XBLA/PSN game. It's obviously not as powerful as other consoles but that doesn't mean the games won't be as good. If just smartphone games get ported to the OUYA it will fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 http://www.pcgamer.c...1/2013-preview/ Now this is an interesting article, a really comprehensive list of games for 2013 . There are some good ones on the way, 2013 is looking faaaaaaaaantastic. There are some titles I have never even heard of but that only adds to the excitement. Heh, forgot that other XCOM game was still going. Looking forward to some of those adventure games - HeXit looks like it might be cool but is vaporware I suppose.

I have no love for the Ouya, but that is a fundamentally flawed premise. Steambox will also run an *ix variant as its OS, and that does not make it a phone with the phone bits stripped out, similarly when the nextbox gets released with a Win8 variant it will not therefore be a PC or a phone because Win8 is a mobile/ desktop OS as well. If it has the same or similar characteristics to a console then it is one even if it is running Babbage OS v0.1 on an 8086 with 16k memory. It may (likely) be a 'bad' console, of course.

Flouride Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Kinda meh year when it comes to bigger titles. Only intrested in Battlefield 4, South Park and Simcity (if not ruined by EA), Other than that it's mostly indie stuff / smaller games I'm waiting for, some of them should turn out okay Hate the living, love the dead.

Katphood Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 http://www.pcgamer.c...1/2013-preview/ Man, that collateral game reminded me of an old gem: Quarentine! There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Also missed that Takedown game, nice idea to try to go back to SWAT4/RVS somewhat. Those pirate RPGs sound interesting as well.

Yeah, previous years were a bit dry and shallow for gaming, thanks to kickstarter and some decent studios we are going to have 2 splendid years. Both 2013-2014 going to be great it seems. Can you guys name games you remembered from 2011? I can only remember Witcher 2, Skyrim, Deus Ex HR, Batman AA, Portal 2, To the Moon and Dark Souls. Nothing is true, everything is permited.

Morgoth Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 You are not the first person to express excitement about this so now I am really interested . What was good about the first one as I have never heard of it until now? One of my favorite Turn-Based Adventure/Tactics mix. Great atmosphere, good story, very satisfying combat, cool companions.

AwesomeOcelot Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Interesting, Nvidia is entering the handheld gaming market at the time Sony is struggling to compete with Nintendo. Making it a general controller shape is smart, although it is a bit too much like the original Xbox controller in terms of shape. It looks like Nvidia are aiming for the same niche as Sony with Vita, but maybe with much more of an emphasis on download and streaming, it's rumoured the Shield can stream from a PC (integrating well with Steam's Big Picture) or the net competing with Wii U and OnLive, it's also said to be an open platform, something Nintendo and Sony would never do. It was suggested that Nvidia would anger hardware partners by making this device but they're not competing with their partners in this space, the PS4 is strongly rumoured to be going AMD, and the Wii U has an AMD GPU. Being Android based allows these devices to tap into an already massive library of media and social applications that people want on their TV, while not having the problems of poor support that smart TVs have had in the past. It gives developers more incentive to develop games for Android based devices with GameClip, GameStick, OUYA, and now Shield. There's going to be more of these devices trying to find niches. Games are where these devices will succeed or fail, and games is where they can put the most pressure on the established entities, in terms of variety and pricing.

That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

mkreku Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wow, Eschalon 3.. I bought both parts of the series so far (and I'm still annoyed by how little recognition these two games got on this board, full of self-proclaimed proponents for turn based old school RPG's), but it had slipped out of my radar. Rumour has it they're finally releasing mod tools. Considering that these games biggest flaw has always been a desperate lack of content, that can only be a good thing. 1 Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
