Andromeda Stardust Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 This is great news. Will it support USB sticks? That might make it easier to transfer data to the console instead of the clunky micro-USB cable interface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoau2002 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The most recent update can make it take longer to receive automatic updates. You can fix this by manually updating your ouya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I got an email from Farsight that the last of the Season 2 Pinball Hall of Fame tables is out. I'm gonna update my Ouya later when I pick up the tables. Besides TPA, most of my purchased games are inexpensive $2-$3-$5 indie stuff.

TheGameCollector Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I finally decided to buy an Ouya with the intent of my girlfriend and I sharing the system as our early Christmas present. With games being so cheap or free, plus all having free demos, plus emulators for so many systems including Neo Geo, I just had to get it. It is so small and will be much more simplistic to use than the original Xbox or even the Wii. (cutting out the whole Wiimote BS will make it easier to get started) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamemoose Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I just got the oddest thing in the mail today: How'd you manage to get that? I gotta show my Ouya some love. Got a money card for it- now to see what I've missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I found a broken app in the Ouya store yesterday. I forget the name (edit: Donkey Me) but it appears to be a Donkey Kong clone. Problem is the stock Ouya controller doesn't work, and on the title screen it says to use keyboard controls to play the game. I actually plugged in a USB keyboard behind the Ouya. No dice. WTF, the Ouya team must do like zero Quality Testing to not even check that a game is playable before they post it in the store. If anyone figures out a way to get this title working I'd love to give it a whack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thinking about filming a gameplay video of donkey me for my youtube channel. It fits in well with the Colecovision homebrew stuff.

NML32 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) I was able to play it with my PS3 controller. Edit: you might want to un-pair all Bluetooth devices except for your Ouya controllers. From the OUYA Main Menu 1) Select - MANAGE>SYSTEM>ADVANCED 2) Select - "Bluetooth" 3) Select Bluetooth device 4) Use the touchpad or mouse to select slider icon on the right 5) Select - "Unpair" This can also happen if a USB mouse or keyboard is connected.

RevEng Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 After being on a number of platforms earlier this year, The Cave made its way to Ouya recently. Based on the amount of fun my kids and I had playing the demo, I went ahead and picked it up for $4.99 tonight. Seems like a deal compared to the Wii U version, which is $15. Good adventure puzzling fun so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconhood Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 so after the hype has settled, is the OUYA still exciting? or did the fad fade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NML32 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I still enjoy my Ouya and very happy I bought one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 so after the hype has settled, is the OUYA still exciting? or did the fad fade? I'm not sure if I can say its "still exciting", but its not a fad for us. Ouya has become a staple gaming platform in our house, along with the xbox 360, Wii (soon Wii U), various tablets, and PC gaming. We still buy games for Ouya, and I'm glad I supported the kickstarter. (I would be even more glad if they sent me one of those shirts!) We also use Ouya regularly for XBMC. I'll probably buy another one for XBMC if they manage to get HDMI CEC working properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The combination of being able to sideload my own Android apps/games and XBMC makes this a killer product. I'm still a bit sore about having to switch from GameMaker Studio to Unity because of limp support from YoYo Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) so after the hype has settled, is the OUYA still exciting? or did the fad fade? It had pretty darn good support for a few months, but release rate for its bigger games has really dwindled. Nov 4 is when Neon Shadow came out, Sep 10 we got Clark--everything else between those and now has been pretty poor, IMO. Both are well polished indie titles. Big fish in a tiny pond kind of games, on any other platform they wouldn't be very noteworthy. Support from major android publishers never really happened. A few trotted out a test game or two, a whole lot more said games were coming which never showed. Nobody has brought a significant chunk of their library to the console. Side loading helps the experience, but it sure doesn't keep a platform alive. Generally I still support Ouya by buying everything I like, but noting the length of time between games above, that hasn't been much over the last 3 months or so.

Falconhood Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I just remember being so excited, trying to find one, and then school started...and I haven't had time to think about one for the last few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm using my Ouya primarily as a Pinball machine. Pinball Arcade rocks, as I D/L all the 40+ tables! Next season 3 pass and Fish Tails! I've also played a lot of indie games. My most recent doenload was Donkey Me. Figured out why it didn't work the other day: PS3 controller was stuck on Player 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah98 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Ouya on sale for $59.99, free shipping, and $5 credit. Go to the Ouya shop (www.ouya.tv) and enter coupon code "calamity." I just tried it and it went through. Seems like a great deal at that price! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karyyk Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Maybe because you posted it here? Doubtful. Probably the fact that it was posted on the OUYA forums did it in...some of those guys have bought 5 of the things (just for themselves mind you). As far as games worth playing go, The Cave from Double Fine came out on December 3rd. That's a pretty fun platformer/graphic adventure...kind of in the vein of a Maniac Mansion. It's as multiplatform as it gets, but it's well worth the $5 I paid for the OUYA version. Killing Floor: Calamity is pretty good too. I'm not sure it's $15 good, but I might snatch it after a price drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamemoose Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Donkey Me- I recently hooked the Ouya back up (just got a Wii U for the family and that took the HDMI connection so I unplugged the 360) and gave that game a whirl. Man I was laughing through each board. Flash Gordon? Heck yeah! Anyone try Motorbike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Donkey ME is awesome. I just hope and pray they don't get bullied with a takedown notice from either Nintendo or some other company. Star Wars and Indie Jones are my favorite themes so far.

+swlovinist Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I have played my Ouya pretty consistently on a month to month basis since it got out. I feel now it is a better product and less of a beta when it was released. I still dont like their navigation menu, but can say without a doubt a good android gaming device for not that much money. I have played a ton of the game Meltdown, and mostly have been playing the retro themed stuff on the system. Thumbs up from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretthorror Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Amazon.ca had Ouyas for $89.99 plus a free $25 Ouya store card, so I picked one up. After reading a bit, it seems like it's hard to get external storage working on the device. Anyone having any problems? I figured I could just plug a microSD card into the USB adapter and away I'd go. Is this actually able to be done at this point? Or do you still have to use Dropbox to get stuff downloaded to the device? 8GB won't be enough for all my stuff, dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
