GI Show 116: Ouya Kickstarter, NCAA 13, The Secret World

We discuss the new Ouya Android console, which has already raised over 4 million in Kickstarter pledges, plus two new releases. The show kicks (no pun intended) off with the Kickstarter sensation Ouya -- a console that promises to upend the traditional console market with an open-source, free-to-play system priced at $99. While it has grassroots support online, is this an idea that has legs? Host Matt Helgeson is joined by Andy Reiner and Matt Miller to discuss. In the second segment, Matt Kato swings by to talk about his review for NCAA Football 13, the latest in EA's longrunning sports franchise. Finally, Matt Miller returns to talk about The Secret World, a new MMO that promises something different from the usual sci-fi and fantasy tropes.

  • Yes, again! First to not be second.
  • I want gameplay.....and I just noticed that the buttons are all CIRCLE's...gonna be a lot of confusion : D YYYYEEEAHHHHH
  • Been waiting for this all week!

  • Cool console, stupid name.

  • Very good indeed. I actually signed up for The Secret World... :3

  • I haven't heard of this Ouya thing until about...today. I wonder if it's going to be successful in selling to more people than who kicked in for it to get made.
    Also, would whoever edits the podcast please raise the levels to be audible without me having to turn my computer all the way up?
  • Super interested to hear your thoughts on Ouya :)

  • This is awesome indeed.

  • just as Melissa responded I am inspired that some people can make $6811 in 1 month on the internet. did you look at this site(Click on menu Home more information)  http://goo.gl/EGtnL

  • I'm not proud of this- I got a pigeon drunk on coca cola and took her spare seeds and...*sniffles...sold them for...pizza.
  • I think it's Matt who's on a really quiet mic. I can barely hear him while Reiner is basically yelling in my ear. Could someone please fix the mic levels?
  • So just wanted to comment on the secret world. The comments Miller made on the outfists are not entirely correct. You can go to London in game and buy a large assortment of in game clothing. The Decks also go e you costume awards when you finish them. So if you want to look like a ninja, you just need to finish the deck. There are also cool costumes and outfits awarded for quest and dungeons. I am protesting the in game store by not using it. I did the same with Diablo 3 though.

  • The new console called the OH YEAH...
  • Ouya will make a lot of money, and I don't mean for the console's parent company.

  • Mod

    Love the GIO show, but you know what would be totally possum grade awesome? We want to hear the interns on a show...and they get to invite one community member also!

  • Great Ouya coverage guys

  • The Secret World sounds really cool but it all comes down to the gameplay for me.

    Also, the song at the end of this podcast is really awesome. Does anyone know the name?

  • I think the Ouya will be pretty cool and I hope it does well. All it means is more options for the gamers.
