So ouya, which was basically an android system with gamepads, needed a million for the base budget, and they expect to make this revolutionary never seen before space age technology marvel with only 25k? Seems legit, sure.
Not to mention how much of a clusterfuck the Ouya launch was in spite of how much money it raised. It turns out releasing a console is hard, who knew?

KS is no more what it used to be. Some time ago shit like this would gather at least few hundred thousands of dorra and ensure many butthurts of idiots that backed it after it shipped and/or devs run with money.

It just works.

This looks unbelievably bad.
Their pitches are laughable, too.

Haha, best part of video is at the 1:30 mark. Their over excitement while playing a laggy sidescroller where nothing remotely exciting is on screen.

Actually all the gameplay footage shown was incredibly choppy, that "online fps" was running at like fucking 12 frames. The only footage that ran smoothly was a cutscene for a racing game. These idiots cannot be serious? I would take Ouya any day over this as it can at least play emulators.

Now, I might be wrong on this one, (though I trust my eyes well enough on detecting stuff like this) but I think that's actually edited in on the tv screen. Pause the video and look their hair when it's over the screen. Pretty obvious keyed out green screen, I think. Which make it most likely that's just a stock video.

Todd was not lying about the mountain. Why are you citing that quote as evidence of his alleged misdeeds?

Are Steam Machines much better? Hardly anyone owns one. And how many games run on it really?

And FFS I don't want to play games on a couch. Watch movies? Sure. Listen to music? Not really. Watch TV? Okay.

Also, what's happening on the last scene ? Are they thinking "This is awful, and we've been waiting to fuck for four minutes already. "

Also, check the "borders" of the actors. They are acting in front of a bluescreen or at least a turned off TV.
Didn't even notice that, Rads was right too. Also didn't notice the text in the bottom left corner. So they fake tv footage and the only actual gameplay shown is extremely laggy for the most basic of games. This has made over $6k on KS already with only 24 backers. What the fuck.
