- That looks utterly, utterly dull
=\******** - @set, it's not. It's utterly brilliant. And you should know better than to judge a game from a video :)MrT
- I said it looks utterly dull, from the video, which it does. I'll give it a try if I can get a demo though********
- I found it very dull. And short. And not worth my time. Or my money.CygnusZero4
- There's a demo on PSN but not sure about Live...MrT
- this game won a heap of awards and praise. plus the design is amazing... odd to hear it shat on hear on qbninteliboy
- certainly looks kinda cool, i imagine i'd get bored of just that quickly though...********

This kickstarter is on fire.. about 1k a min worth of pledges.. great idea.- I am considering parting with the $99 to back this one.ETM
- The 99 dollar pledge gas sold out..********
- Has*********
- No, the _$95_ sold out. The $99 has a few thousand left.ETM
- Oh yea********
- Holy crap. I went out to get a haircut and they raised $200k.ETM
- Yea it was @ 315k when i posted this.. now it's at 627k!Naygon
- Oh well, I backed it. If it becomes anything, I'll have my founders emblem :PETM
- I want to point out though that the UI shown in the video is a clear X-Box 360 dash rip-off though.ETM
- Fucking hell...500k in about 3 hours..********
- They'll be at their $950K goal likely in another hour.ETM
- Less than an hour after my last note they're at 970... Fucking cray bro********

this will change the industry.

Should be interesting to see how much it gets by 8/9.

It is an interesting concept with lots of possibilities but they need to attract good games and lots of users. Steam is already attractive to indie developers and they have the store and market already so when they have a console for TV it will be a big player.
- < Exactly my thoughts. I'm not jumping out of my seat at the thought of playing my iPhone games on a TV.duckseason
- Comes down to do you want to play android games on your TV or PC games?lodef
- If you are of the current console only gaming generation, have you even heard of Steam?ETM
- Though a Steam box would be cool, I'd rather have an app for the Xbox since it's already a PC at heart.ETM

The controller will have two analogue stick – the d-pad, with eight gameplay buttons, but also a touch pad, so developers that have built games which use gesture control can easily bring those games to our platform.

It's designed to have experiences beyond the mobile game equivalent. There is a lot of power on the mobile devices now (HD graphics and all), but you really have limits to the depth of a game you can create when the consumer is mainly looking for quick and random entertainment/distraction.
Now that platform can be harnessed to create full games without having to create a new ecosystem. There have been MANY great mobile games where I have cursed having to use touch controls. Now that is solved as well.
Plus the hacking and emulation will be fantastic. Even if Steam created a console, it would likely be locked down and very restrictive. I feel if they keep the $99 tag, and market it online only, there is a place for this.

I welcome the effort but I'm looking forward to the next Xbox not an Android console with some indie games, honestly.
- For $99 I'm in.discoduro
- It's an addition, not a sole gaming system for most people. But money better spent than the Wii, I'll wager.ETM
- Anyway, I backed it, I hope it happens. For $99, I'll take a chance.ETM
- It's cool that they want to disrupt the industry hopefully people will actually pay for the gamesernexbcn
- Because releasing a game even a small one is hard and the devs deserve the moneyernexbcn

Does anyone have enough understanding of the industry to know what market penetration they would need to be truly viable and attractive to future devs, beyond just porting existing mobile games?
100K units? 250k units?

I don't see Nintendo/Sony/MS liking this idea very much.

The big 3 would hate it I'm sure. There is something really perverse about a game that is to all intents and purposes, identical on PS3 and Xbox but almost has to be developed twice.
I'd really like it to be a console that's just, you know, a games console. And not one that can talk to my fridge or store reruns of Dream On. Dream On?
