I Bought An Ouya In 2019

- The Ouya has now gained internet infamy after smashing records on Kickstarter as a new game console only to fizzle out in just a few years squandering millions of dollars in the process. The system did have a devoted fan base when it released, however even the die hard Ouya fan has recognized the system's demise. Today we will be taking a look at the system and take it a part to see what was inside.

"The only console with a touch pad"
"Well the PS4 has a touch pad"
"Yeah they could do that"
What?
The PS4 wasn’t out yet. He was misleading you
@@duggiedug9148 It was already being reported months beforehand that the DS4 would have a touch-pad and was officially announced along with the PS4 weeks prior to her interview, there was simply no excuse for her not knowing as it's only logical you'd pay attention to the largest competitors in the market you're heading into are doing and especially when they announce their next highly anticipated product. Furthermore the Wii U had already been on the market for near 4 months that didn't just have a simple touch-pad but a full fledged touch-screen on its controller.
you notice she's now working at playboy and I highly doubt it's for her brains, despite what her position title suggests. just sayian.

I would LOVE to have that video! As someone who's been considering an Ouya for shits & giggles, I can't get a clear answer for what would happen if a brand-new user got on today.

It reallllllllllly bugged me that you didn't at least plug it in and show what the service and games look like today.
That's literally all I wanted to see. I know spawnwave is known for dismantling what he's reviewing but I'm not into the hardware side of things so this video really did nothing for me. Was hoping at least at the end he was going to do that.
Thanks for saving me 20 minutes. I'm half way through and was waiting for that.
Pretty sure it has been shut down and does nothing at this point.
Just watch CallMeKevin's video where he bought an Ouya in 2017 and played it. It's great.
Thanks for telling us that. I really hate it when youtubers made a 20 minutes long ass video and can't even get the one thing their viewers want to see. Absolute dickhead
Its obvious the person behind the whole thing wasn't a gamer. That was mistake 1.
She's your average Karen who now works for Playboy, I bet the closest she's been to playing a game was Candy Crush
@@crocsy1439 Yeah...she does look like the kind of woman who enjoys Playboy.
This bitch big mouth has nothing to do with gaming world how people like her take big project after she fucked up everything yea I move on
She doesn’t need to be a gamer, but a smart businessman/woman would at least research the industry, the competition, and what the demographic you are targeting are looking for. She did none of that.
@@talaris-uk. She wasnt even smart with business. If she had been, she would have made sure that the console was finished and perfected before spending extra money on luxuries. She also would have hired the best PR speaker that money could buy to sell the console. She did none of that. She was terrible at PR in every interviewer video. The Kickstarter goal was a massive success and she and her team wasted almost all of the money on themselves and asked for more money. This console had potential in the casual market. Mobile games and Minecraft are very popular. The team behind this console ruined any chance of success
You never appreciate good controllers until you hold an inferior one
Yes
Exactly what happens when you go from the Wii U to the switch
When you get the shitty third party controller at your friends house.
What people always forget critizizing the controller: the whole system was 99$. What did they expect? As you can see here, you can use 3rd party controllers without problems.
@@retroluzzer I wasn't specifically talking about the third party Ouya controllers. And besides, the NES Classic is 60$ and the SNES Classic 70$. You might say it's unfair, but this is what happens when your product is crowd funded and on store shelves collecting dust like Mighty Number 9.
My parents bought my brother a Ouya for his birthday
Now I'm sure I'm their favorite
Awesome ! Make sure to check out the retro games. No other console does them better.

She doesn't have any knowledge about games not even her own console nor she did this project out of passion.... She only did it because she wanted the money and left fast

Didn't know what kind of games usually people who owns a console has

The only thing she knew was: if you do it, the money will come
Dude, that first 2 and a half minutes of your video was really fantastic. Your knowledge on the topic and your voice, it was captivating. I kind of wish the entire video was a mini-doc on the Ouya. I was really invested in that portion. Please make videos like that from time to time, 10/10 would watch.
It pretty much told the whole story. It was pretty much DOA in the marketplace.
Seconded! Videos of that caliber would be an amazing addition to the Spawn Wave brand!
Gaminghistorian does that that kind of content

In regards to the Ouya touchpad, they announced it before PS4 and released first. Otherwise solid info.
So she jumped from CEO of OUYA to President of Media at Playboy? Something about that is unsettling.
She’s a slick marketing person, simple as that ..... Steve jobs could sold ouya (but charge 400 bucks for one😂)

So fun fact. The coders of the Ouyaverse got together and modded the server file of Ouya to connect to a community server with almost all the games Ouya offered in the same store layout and interfaces. It is legit a 128 byte file you put on the main folder of the internal storage. Amazing.

@@FirestormDDashAre you talking about the revival of the Discover storefront that made the Ouya usable again? That hack or whatever it is is how I got mine working when I ordered one lol
@@Bro-cx2jc i think so, its a super simple text file you can use and make yourself. its just a url, then drop it into your Ouya main folder. But ya, havent used my ouya in a bit but a little while ago i tested it and it still worked. Fast and free.
Fun little fact but before the file I still used Ouya normally for a long time, then I got the dreaded popup, that I cant remember but googled to find out it had trouble connecting to the servers, cause they turned off and my ouya was assuming wifi was off or something, that took years to happen, and the fix was simple and made tge games free too so extended the Ouya life too.
I dont think much is left for my method in current day. I google some and there was a vid in 2014 that talk about SuperUser installing. But idk, i just found a we site blog, that told me to make a text, with a url pointer and resnart the system, but honestly dont recall then maybe me finding the tvt i made and copy that. Idk.

@@lol-ss5hg . It was hyped for the casual gamers to play mobile games with a controller on a bigger screen. The idea for it was good, the team killed their own product. The console was never meant for people like you and me. If I was a casual gamer and wanted to play Minecraft or Candy Crush on a TV without paying a lot of money, this console would be appealing.
Not only did the PS4 have touch pad but ps vita had 1 on its rear. Also the ds, 3ds Wii U and vita employed touch screens into their controls

I made a few games for it, which for me was what set it apart from other consoles; it was relatively easy to make a game for it as a hobbyist and see your game in the 'store' being played by people. Sadly after a while the negative sounds became louder and you could feel that the system was not really supported by the company behind it anymore, even though fans still held on for a while.
I was an early backer of the kickstarter for the ouya. At the time I was in school for computer science and one of my emphasis was in game development. The ouya gave me the opportunity to develop and deploy games to a console like device and it was a great learning experience. This was probably the consoles biggest positive that I feel gets overlooked. As a new developer there was a great lack of tools to learn on and break into the field. The ouya sought to fill that need and I feel that it did.
I had a great time playing games like tower fall as well as trying out many of the game demos. It reminded me of the early days of magazine game demo discs.
I never experienced any of the issue people talk about and still to this day use it for game streaming to my tv via moonlight and emulators. Which cant be said about much of my other early release tech. (Looking at you Oculus Rift DK1 sitting next to my CV1 and Pimax 5k+)
Overall the ouya was a good experience and was a good prototype for an android based tv experience.
There is much hate/debate but for many the console was a great success because it fit their needs.
I have one too and I enjoy some of the games, even Ouyacraft, which is just a cheap version of Minecraft.
The cool thing about all the games is that they can be played on almost any android device if you pull their files from Discover.
And the Ouya can play other android games too (although when you try things like Baldi's Basics it kinda suffers a bit lol)
Who in their right mind is buying these?... "Yeah, it was me"-spawnwave. 😂 I appreciate the video and laugh.

@1:40 Dude told her about the PS4 controllers touch pad and she completely ignored him saying the PS4 is something they COULD implement touchpads for...
Still better than Souljail Boy's consoles.
She said they could because the PS4 wasn't released at the time of the interview. The Ouya released in June 2013 and PS4 released in November 2013. Julie wasn't a great executive, but her phrasing was purposefully highlighting that she was holding a production piece with the touchpad at a time that the press hadn't touched a PS4 production controller.
Even then though, the Wii U GamePad was a thing.
@@EvilLucario The Wii U gamepad had a resistive touch screen. The Ouya controller has a capacitive touch pad. It is actually a pretty expensive and unnecessary addition to the controller. You can get an aftermarket upgrade for the Wii U gamepad to make it a capacitive touch screen. Either way the touchpad was expensive and pointless. It was meant to facilitate easy ports for mobile teams, but they never used it and it doesn't work for most sideload titles.
I thought she was just deflecting the question to save face.

“Ooooooouya” - Kool Aid man
The OUYA was not as bad as people say. Okay the store was crap an most games were shit but a rooted OUYA with CyanogenMod was an awesome Kodi and emulator box.
The problem was that this crap was announced as a gaming machine, if it were made to compete with the Apple TV + being able to play some games, maybe it wouldn't have flopped that badly
Agree. I owned one as the 1st group of buyers. I rooted it and installed custom OS. Use it as a media streamer.
I always argue this! People always shit on it but if you paired it with a ps3 controller It was actually a very decent streaming and emulation box. I used mine for a while exclusively for emulation until I bought a raspberry pi 3
Hmm...now I'm inspired to dig mine out and try that just for fun.
Todays' tech media loves to troll past tech failures. It wasn't nearly as bad as they make it out to be. Who hasn't played a mobile game and wished you could play it with a controller? The Ouya was suppose to be that solution. It failed from a CEO who was not familiar with gaming and a lack of focus.

Didn't know people from Australia were watching
I backed this on Kickstarter within the first few days, but I dropped out before the campaign ended. After watching some interviews with Julie, and seeing nothing really tangible, I felt like this was DOA or vaporware. So glad I did.
Been watching your vids non stop for 2 days now! Love it! Special old Nintendo stuff. Keep going!
I loved my Ouya! It was the perfect couch-multiplayer console, even though they could have made it a bit more powerful (I wouldn't have minded paying more), before the Switch took that crown nearly 2 years ago.
Also, when the Ouya first released, every game on the store was required to have a free demo available, but since many devs didn't want to code a demo for this console and it limited the amount of games available on the console, they lifted the requirement after a while.
Looking at your controller, it seems to still have the original right faceplate. They released a free faceplate replacement that you could request on their website with larger holes for the 4 face buttons. So don't be surprised if they sometimes get stuck under the faceplate when you press them.
Maybe they could have released an upgrade version that did all the same stuff but had better specs. So that on the original, while it could access all the content, it wasn't powerful enough to run the higher powered games and apps, and the upgraded one could. So budget users could still stick to the cheaper one if they didn't mind sticking to the simpler games.
GPD did this, and while their console didn't exactly take off like mad, it worked out okay for a while.
However, GPD doesn't have a native storefront, so there are probably better things to compare with.
I bought the Ouya controllers without the console, someone sold them cheap and I needed a bluetooth gamepad for my android box at the time so went for them. I think I still have one upstairs. Actually like the Ouya controller for use with android games. I didn't get an Ouya console as I'm quite happy to build up my android google library of games knowing I can use them on future android hardware but don't want to buy any games where the company could disappear. My xbox and playstation library is mainly physical games and my digital games are mainly google and steam. I do have a gamestick but the stick has been converted to normal android not playjam.

somebody got an Ouya for xmas and when they opened the gift said "Oooouyyyaaa" (soulja boy voice) and didn't even open it and made thier mom return it. Now spawn wave has it.
I had an Ouya since just after it's retail launch. The Dual Triggers work differently. The TOP Triggers are Digital, and the BOTTOM Triggers are variable input like an old Analog input. It allows you to apply (for example) partial throttle or brake in a racing game for example. The particular one I got was one that had the updated controller that had it's fit and finish improved over the original Kickstarter ones. It works perfectly fine, with no issues. I use 2,600 mAH NiMH AA's in my controller instead of Alkaline Batteries (I don't want to have a Alkaline Battery leak and ruin my only controller). I didn't pay for it on Kickstarter. Instead I bought mine at Best Buy a couple of months after it released (when I knew that the controller issue had been corrected).
Ya great console, the controller had good and bad points. Rarely hear about the good.
I used to use an Ouya as a media/Kodi box in my vehicle back in 2013-2016. It worked great as a media player.
Cracked me up when he dropped the weight like "look, I can drop it", as if it would float if it wasn't heavy enough.
He didn't even play the goddamn thing you just tore it apart
How can he make fun of it if he shows how good it is :D
That "this is gonna be a very flaccid experience" face in the thumbnail
The first 2 min was soooo good! Would love to see ya do in depth doc type videos, could br your thing but overall enjoyable video👌
Hey man I've watched some of your videos and I just subscribed to your channel. I just wanted to say that you are very knowledgable with gaming consoles and the games. I like watching your videos and learning new stuff keep up the good work dude !
The most impressive thing is that you find one to buy.
I got 3 day they released and they keep going up in value ever since.
Still have my Ouya from Kickstarter, and I used it as my go to little emulation box until I got a raspberry pi. I may look in to using it again.
I love the idea of putting the batteries in the handles. One of the big causes of wrist strain from gaming is the weight on your wrists. Moving the batteries down to the handles moves the center of mass to a more comfortable position.
Yeah I don't know what the issue with that is at all, but people complain about it for some reason. Who cares where the batteries go? Do they power the controller on properly? Are they tightly held in place? Good, move on.
Found your channel by seeing a CZcams recommendation and really liked it so subscribed.
Does it come in the cereal boxes?
LMAO
Beyond Compare damnnnnn
those batteries are duracell, now we know where did all the budget go
Yeah dude
I honestly thought it was a great idea. I liked the idea of a micro console that was cheap for the Casual Gamer. I got one and I thought the controller felt pretty good and played pretty well for a good while but then a lot of games started dropping from it and there wasn't as much fun stuff to play.
An entire console that stands as a testament to why you should never buy digital unless you absolutely have no other choice.
I own all the Ouya variants. I love the Ouya it is my first full collection. I wish we had something like the Ouya I would buy games all the time their just to find the game on steam with less reviews sometimes not even enough to have a positive or negative rating. It was a good games platform if you looked but I can tell not many people put in the effort most Ouya I bought still have the plastic on them😂
Cool video! Never played one before! :D
you never played a video before?
Best retro console ever made. Has more haters then any other video game console.
@@meganuke2005 I was legitamently going to ask the same question
Your videos are great 👍 .. just found your videos this week and subscribed
Just found an OUYA unloved and unwanted on my apartment buildings "Take It if you want it shelf." Im exited to check on out
I got a Ouya "devkit".
I was that naive.
I bought one of these for £20 from Game (incl. delivery) in June 2018 and still haven't got round to taking it out of the box :)
See if you could still return it lol
My friend gave me this thing a coupe years back, I tried it. It now it’s comfortably as my Nintendo Switch stand next to my PC
Great video. Very clean sound. What equipment do you use?
I just remembered the ataribox exists, whats the state of that thing by the way?
lol
There is absolutely no evidence that it does exist or ever will exist.
The last thing we heard about it(from dreamcast guy). There is a lawsuit over rights and profit earnings(or something). Yeah, I can tell that this 2019 release date isn't probably happening.
Mateus Elias, yesterday, they had a short update on the indiegogo page. The last thing they have been working on was the linux based operating system. I believe that the next thing would be releasing tools to prepare x86 Linux distros to run as an “other OS” on the atari VCS, and publishing preview versions of their OS for developers. They still seem to be believing it in 2019. They already shipped some T-Shirt to backers who ordered them. As far as I read, pre-orders are still possible.
The ouya may suck but bombsquad on the ouya does not.
Steve Drawdy Towerfall started on this system too
Also, Bosses Forever 2.Bro was cool
My OCD is silently screaming at the upside down Genesis box
I bought one when it came out. Still have it too. Used it for game emulation to TV and as a XBMC using NAVI X to watch Movies and Stream Satellite feeds from around the world. Was worth every penny and worked great for that. The controllers were garbage though, and I actually had to warranty 2 of them.
Julie's mascara style: Coke binge
I bought one and really liked it, was really easy to get my unity games running on it and the ouya support team ran a live stream every week to help with troubleshooting problems. There were a few really good exclusives for a while, bomb squad, towerfall, amazing frog, no breaks valet, Eliot quest, ittle dew. But then started experiencing the connection issues with controllers (was usually ok in single player games, and was a shame you had to ship them back to ouya to get them reflashed, they were supposed to be open source design so if we should have been able to do updates ourselves with a little technical knowhow but as far as i know the firmware was never released), might try removing the weight. I liked the way the controller felt in the hand and they had custom faceplates in similar colors to the switch dose, If you swapped out the stacks for 360 ones it felt a lot better. The touchpad was new and didint work as intended as all controllers just get combined into 1 mouse input instead of individual pointers. I still the ouya reignighted couch multiplayer at the time, just a shame about there free games stance at the beginning the controller issues.
Alastair Low oh god, No Brakes! That game was actually funny as hell to play! I still have that & Bosses Forever 2.Bro on mine
The best thing about the Ouya, was the game "Amazing Frog" It started on Ouya and my daughter and I played that for hours. They've since re-programmed it for Windows and it's developed for steam. A lot of indie game developers cut their teeth on the Ouya store in it's short period. You can still use the console to check and play your games you develop using free software.
„Who in the right mind buys an Ouya?“
„Yeah - that’s me“
