I'm not sure how you can read thru their entire pitch and think it would be a good idea to buy into any of that

The sad thing is they will probably find 10,000 ppl willing to buy into it... with many more clamoring to get in on it.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I know there is always a bit of hyperbole around gaming but this is the worst console bides I have ever heard.

 

[MiguelItUp]

It's hard to think this is real, what are people thinking?! Lmao.

Can't wait for the inevitable failure.

 

[NanaMiku]

Hopefully it'll generate new crowbcat video

 

[Halo2redvsblue]

There logo is literally the GameCube logo flipped and the part connected to the inner cube just deleted...

 

[Sentenza]

Hopefully it'll generate new crowbcat video

For all its failure to appeal to the market, the OuYA was an actual product that existed and did exactly what promised to do (being a cheap device to play indie games).
This is a very different scenario.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Is Hassan Kahraman their CEO?

 

[Ozzie666]

Please don't give Konami or Square any ideas.

At least these guys understand what NFTs are.

Already way ahead of Tommy Tallarico.

Web 3 games are basically early 2010 mobile games. We just play it in the browser. Maybe this can give people a push to make web 3 games a little more complex. NFT in games it's not too crazy, think of it as pokemon cards, amibos, collectables. You buy a character, a item, play them sell, trade,collect. Some games you can play for free or spend like 5 dollars. Don't know why gaf is so angry about nfts, you pay, play, get some fun, maybe 0.00001% chance you make money with it. It's just normal gaming.

lol you chump

 

[belmarduk]

It would be extremely difficult to get into the console business nowadays… and one based off NFTs which everyone hates? This this is going to be DOA.

 

[10101]

8k 120FPS with Ray Tracing? Yet no games announced for it? And what ungodly GPU that fits in that box is powering that? Hmmm

I mean tbf, if anyone pays up front for their 'Premium NFT' then they deserve to be scammed, but its low effort at best with that spec sheet (& logo, wow)!

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Oh look, we have April 1st twice this year.

 

[chixdiggit]

8K HDR at 120fps and ray tracing all in that little box. Pretty embarrassing for Sony.

 

[spawn]

I went to the original twitter post to see the comments and most of the tops posts are a bunch of NFT and crypto bros posting LFG! To the moon and a bunch of garbage.

What games is it really going to play? Are you going to play the Witcher or COD on it or is it just a bunch of mobile game garbage where you can buy microtransactions with ETH

Browser games have never looked this good.

 

[Lady Jane]

The console seems stupid. I don’t see an issue with the logo though.

There’s not an issue with the logo but they’re so sensitive to criticism that it’s too fun to stop pointing it out.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[NanaMiku]

The games are probably gonna be all "crypto" mobile games. Their numbers are rising.

 

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

"Oh boy, I can't wait to play the 0.0000487% of a fractional NFT of a game I just bought for this system!"

I can't even fathom this.

Now I know gaf loves web 3.0 and NFT's. I'm sold on the dedicated wallet button.

So I suggest we get this thing off the ground I hope this thing is some troll

 

[AJUMP23]

Vaporware scam.

 

[nani17]

Vaporware scam.

More than likely its just makes no sense at all

 

[A.Romero]

• Wallet button to quickly access your wallet while in a game.

So important they had to list it twice

 

[Neofire]

The all in one micro transaction console is more like it

 

[Kataploom]

They're better putting up a Steam Machine using Steam OS now that SteamOS is finally making a comeback with Steam Desk, then add all their shit above it, at least people with actual gaming needs can see them as a viable option lmao.

 

[reinking]

How about NOlium?

 

[arvfab]

At least they got the analogues places correctly

 

[Dirk Benedict]

So, they're giving themselves until 2024 to figure out how to make the scam work. This shit is dead even before it began.

Oh, and Wallet Button? I want to see the reactions on that. It's ridiculous. They really keep trying to push NFTs. When I read OP, I thought it was april fools, with that description of with this sets out to be.

 

[Shifty]

Yes yes, we already had a thread about it this week.

I respect no company that uses the word "blockchain" unironically.

 

[killatopak]

Ouya is a better buy than this.

 

[Fuz]

 

[mcjmetroid]

Oh good!

 

[ResilientBanana]

Their own corporate logo looks like a dripping penis.

NFTs and this entire console concept are cancer.

 

[Teslerum]

I know I'm a dumbdumb, but can someone explain to me what a blockchain is?

I've seen that word thrown around a thousand times, regarding crypto, regarding websites that are apparently *built* on it, and a whole lot of other times, but nothing that indicates the concept behind it. You apparently just have to *know*.

I've been confused for years.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Okay, they got me with the "We didn't rip off Gamecube's logo, but we'll come up with a new one that's original,"

First rule of salesmanship, never show up with a product that isn't air tight. If you crumble at the first sign of opposition, your credibility is gone. He should have been like

"Ripoff? I had to rip your mom off this dick, boy,"

Or something.
