The manufacturer of the 99 dollar gaming console Ouya has started with the delivery of the devices to people who the project through Kickstarter have supported. People that the project may not have supported, but the Ouya would have until 4 June to wait.
Ouya, meanwhile, has more than 100 different games in the Storefront is collected and also has a number of non-game apps made available. Including TwitchTV, which gaming footage streamed can be. For movie lovers, the are Flixster and XBMC available. It took longer to clear that in addition to games also apps in the Ouya Storefront available. In August 2012, Ouya already has the agreement with XBMC.
The interface of the console is still simple and consists of a menu of four words: Play, Discover, Make and Manage, as appears from a hands-on of Wired. With ‘Play’ and ‘Manage’ can games be played and settings are modified. ‘Discover’ gives players the opportunity to new games to discover on the basis of the games that were played. The algorithm behind the selection of these suggestions, look at the time on a game is spent, and also weighs along which the game first starts up. Under the ‘Make’button in the menu can be custom designed games to be shown. There is no difference between the Ouya console for game developers and for gamers, making everyone his Ouya to a computer can hang out and game can be design for the device.
Ouya was a time the most successful Kickstarter project, with a yield of a million dollars in 8 hours and 22 minutes. The goal of Ouya is to have a opensource console for $ 99 to sell. The console is based on Nvidia’s Tegra 3 soc and runs Android 4.1 as the operating system. Yet the console is not to the Netherlands, but interested parties can already place a pre-order at Amazon, that the consoles also to the Netherlands shipped.
