OnLive is coming to OUYA, can Sony strike back with Gaikai?

[DeviousOne]

Why is PC coming up in here? This thing is built on android, its nothing top of the line. Also seeing as every OUYA is also a dev kit the games available for it are going to be mostly throw away titles with a few gems here and there.

Because of the open end aspect of the console. I do agree with you about it getting alot of throw away titles this is a good way of indie developers getting into the big time and possibly making it with a big company working with them or selling a concept. I think thats the most appealing aspect of it and will bring some of that mobile gmaing money into the console market

Instead of sitting in front of a pc you can do it from your tv like a traditional console and its only 99 bucks

But my pc is plugged into my main tv in my front room.

Gaikai isnt ever going to be exclusive to Playstation the whole idea is that it can be used on practically any device.

As is mine to watch streaming movies however you and I fall into the minority. Also out laptop or pc did not cost us 99 bucks new

[BoyBettaKnow]

Seems like a lot in here feel threatened at the prospect of a $99 console. Personally, I like the idea of another competitor pushing in on Sony's, Microsoft's and Nintendo's territory.

I completely agree. I for one am really excited about what Ouya is going to be able to bring to the industry.
a $99 console designed to bring back inde and bedroom developers? Whats not to love about this little system. I haven't backed any more due to financial reasons but as soon as they are able to sell more Ouya's i'll be buying one with a few controllers.

I can't stress enough how much i love the idea.

Well I don't fully understand what this thing is, it looks to be a console to stream OnLive (PC games), which is pretty sweet.

I still think it'll flop though, MS had a hard enough time breaking into Sony and Nintendo's dominance, but MS had billions for developers and publishers.

Idk we have yet to see what sony's plans are with this company. We just dont know and for all we know it can be mergered with the playstation brand

Nope, it's a console designed for games built directly for it. Onlive now working with them just seems to be Onlive branching out.

TVs, tablets, smart phones, PlayStation 3/4 and Vita...It will be everywhere.

Ok but OnLive and Gaikai are PC game delivery services, so both OUYA and PS3/4/V could see PC games delivered to it (so long as you have a mouse and keyboard hooked up obviously). Sounds amazing.

[BoyBettaKnow]

Pretty much yeah. You can just use your Ouya for playing decent Android games with a controller or if you want to have a little more serious gaming then you can use Onlive/Gaikai for streaming games. This is certainly going to be a very interesting release.

Being honest i only want to buy one to stream things to my TV and XBMC and maybe a few silly games here and there. I've spent more money on a night down town so it seems like a no brainer for me to buy

You could use the controller it comes with?

[AaronSOLDIER]

You can't use a controller for all PC games, you need more buttons/keys.

Thats tru... They need more details on their website

Onlive games are patched so you can use a contoller with all the games.

[AaronSOLDIER]

Even games that require a cursor? I'd much rather plug in a mouse/keyboard because it'll be awkward.

[TheTenth666]

The "free to play - but you'll have to spend 100+ $ to have the complete game and have fun" concept makes me puke, the Wii - followed by the phone games - has really destroyed the quality of games by attracting the "casuals", people who don't know crap about technology and will buy fun and trendy things, play it twice and go on to the newest thing. I hope this all kills itself.

[davin_g]

I'll make up my mind IF/WHEN this becomes relevent. As of now the gaming market is filled to the brim with consoles, pcs, handhelds, phones, pads, and probably even my toothbrush has games on it idk....so color me unimpressed until it proves something.

I also don't think this will scare Sony/Microsoft because I'm sure they will have Gaikai/Onlive on their consoles too. This may sell...but it isn't a replacement type thing...just an additional type thing.

That said sometimes it only takes like one game like Tetris/Angry Birds to become a cult phenomenon and everyone will buy it.

[Soldier 95B]

Onlive is far superior to Gaikai, but I don't think OUYA is gonna be around very long. If it makes it at all.

[DeviousOne]

Oyua has a chance... We'll see its def not ground breaking tech but the idea however is very interesting and that's what making me believe it could be semi sucessful on the market
