Kickstarter's All-purpose Speculatory Thread of Dreams

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

I agree with that. We arent going to see the likes of Halo or Crysis 3 on this. But this could turn into a great little indie machine. Get your Super Meat Boys and Binding of Isaacs calibur stuff here.
Should be fully funded in the next five minutes.

WTF is roku?

[Frogacuda]

I don't see this panning out much further than "play some Android games on a big screen!"

Nor do I, but if it's comparable to other set-top boxes in its price range, open/moddable, and a cool way to play Android games, that seems like a good product, don't you think?

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

And done.

[Frogacuda]

I agree with that. We arent going to see the likes of Halo or Crysis 3 on this.

Though maybe not as far off as you'd think, either.

That logo in the beginning of the video scares me.
Shit, i am excited for stuff like Mass Effect Infiltrator. How many games have any of you said, "This would be great if it had proper controls!"

[Diff-chan]

Does it interact with the Pebble?

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

Only if you choose the $10,000 pledge.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

So how many units do you think this has to move in order to be viable? I dont think too many developers are going to be swayed by a user base of 8,000. Or is the portability going to be so easy that the addition of "real" controls and big screen resolution wont add significant cost to a game?

[jyoung]

I'm no programmer, but I wouldn't think it'd be a big deal to add support for different resolutions and control setups.

Especially since this controller has a touch screen built into it.
