Open source gamers patiently waiting to get their hands on one of the new Ouya gaming consoles, which recently raised a huge $8.5 million in pledges over on the Kickstarter website.
Are sure to enjoy the list of Ouya 300+ games that will be available on the console once it officially launches later this year, revealing what you can expect from the open source gaming console.
Eddie K on the Ouya Forum explains: “This will be an ongoing list of games that have been either confirmed for the OUYA by either the developers or OUYA themselves. If you have anything to add, please reply to this thread. A moderator will edit the thread with any new information you provide. Please note this is in no way an official list. ** note – OUYA CREATE Game Jame games have been added to this list as well, even if the developers didn’t confirm with us that they will definitely bring it to OUYA.”
OUYA’s Impact on the Gaming Industry
The Ouya console represents a significant shift in the gaming industry, primarily due to its open-source nature. Unlike traditional gaming consoles that are often closed ecosystems, Ouya encourages developers to create and share their games freely. This has the potential to democratize game development, allowing indie developers to compete on a more level playing field with larger studios. The $8.5 million raised on Kickstarter is a testament to the community’s enthusiasm and belief in this new model.
Moreover, the affordability of the Ouya console makes it accessible to a broader audience. Priced at just $99, it offers a cost-effective alternative to more expensive consoles like the PlayStation and Xbox. This could attract a new demographic of gamers who might have been deterred by the high costs associated with traditional gaming systems.
Variety and Diversity of Games
One of the most exciting aspects of the Ouya console is the sheer variety and diversity of games that will be available. With over 300 games confirmed, players can look forward to a wide range of genres and styles. From action-packed shooters to intricate puzzle games, the Ouya library promises something for everyone.
For instance, popular indie games like “TowerFall” and “The Ball” have already been confirmed for the platform. “TowerFall,” a multiplayer archery combat game, has been praised for its engaging gameplay and has garnered a significant following. On the other hand, “The Ball,” a first-person action-adventure game, offers a unique blend of puzzle-solving and combat, showcasing the versatility of games available on Ouya.
Additionally, the inclusion of games from the OUYA CREATE Game Jam adds another layer of excitement. These games, developed during a 10-day competition, highlight the creativity and innovation that the Ouya platform fosters. Even though some of these games are still in their early stages, their presence on the list underscores the console’s commitment to supporting new and experimental game ideas.
