I'm in. ASAP. Hate rebooting to play games.
My kids are actually curious about this. I dunno if it'll really encourage more reading, but at least it's not another zombie game.
I'm in. Gonna grab it ASAP.
Not at all. It's a full standalone game. You don't need I2 to play it.
How come 'anything from a Hannah Montana game' isn't on the list?
I have an Ouya already.
No, really. The Asus Transformer Prime has the same h/w, HDMI out, and can use PS3 controllers wirelessly. I've hooked it up to my TV and played games that way.
The graphics are *not* as good as my PS3's, but they're all right. A bit better than the original XBox, say. (Tested with Shadowngun THD, Dead Trigger, and Max Payne (but that's a PS2 convert).)
For $99... *maybe*. It *might* find a niche. The P...
@Patriots_Pride - So you pay full launch price for games but not consoles? Well, okay, so long as it's a matter of principle...
It's the right mix of challenge and whackiness. Simple as that.
This is a very good thing. It's annoying to have to reboot to play PC games.
@sjaakiejj - At this point, rooting android devices in general is pretty easy. Just about every device has a "one click" tool to do it.
And yet, while rooting isn't *un*common, it's very far from the norm. Similarly, just because a piracy tool is convenient doesn't mean it'll be dominant. People also worry about trojans, voided warranties, bricking and bugs, etc.
Make buying apps simple and convenient and inexpensive, and a whole lot...
The piracy depends on region, though. In the developed world, piracy rates are actually fairly low. It's in the less-developed areas where piracy rates are high.
The main issue is to make it more convenient to buy than to pirate. There will always be a certain amount of piracy, because some people will *never* pay for things... but by the same token, they weren't potential customers anyway.
The OS issue is actually in Ouya's favor. Yes, you're...
I still fire this up from time to time it's just plain *fun*.
I dunno. I like my PS3 a lot, but networking has never been its strongest point. Downloads from the PSN take *way* longer than similar sizes on my PC. It's better since I ran a wire to it and I'm no longer using Wifi, but... I'm not sure what kind of speed I'd get with a streaming setup.
The system's a bit more flexible than a traditional level editor. By mucking with physics and logic, people have managed to simulate new powers and so forth.
Um... Infamous 2 did a pretty good job for "third person shooters" already.
Y'know, I *still* have fun with the first Resistance from time to time. Amazing for a launch game particularly.
I've actually been impressed with the graphics of the games on the Transformer Prime my wife got me - I think that's what the tablet/keyboard combo they show. A surprising amount of power, especially when the battery life is ridiculously good.
It was generally agreed that Infamous 2 improved on everything from the original game.
So, you're judging *him* by irrelevant criteria because he's judging games by standards that don't fit?
Use bittorrent. Played some tonight and it's really impressive, and fun. Just enough updates to keep it fresh, but still a lot enhanced deja vu.
