Xbox 360 Cheats: With the recent success of the open-source, Android-powered Ouya game console on Kickstarter, the waning power of current-gen console manufacturers, and the increasing number of studios being shuttered by publishers, the possibility of a generation of gaming with more than three consoles is very real.
Hotly anticipated Celestoidvania, Lucid announces Kickstarter Demo release date. Exciting news for anyone backing the game.
OVERRIDER is a new sci-fi roguelite about hoverboarding and smashing robots, and there's a Kickstarter campaign to help get it funded.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Ouya is DoA.
Apple TV Console is nothing more than an Apple Ouya for iPad-grade hardware (I.e. weaker than 360)
There will be 3 others.
Ouya:
Becomes a paradise... for hackers
Apple TV console:
Doesn't do well and Apppe start to work on a REAL console
WiiU: 3-4x more power than current gen. Is PS2 of this gen. Nintendo tries to create a where hardcore gamers and casuals can coexist.
Nextbox: 6x more powerful then current gen...grabs casuals with kinect but hooks hardcore with multiplats and halo/gears
PS4: 6x more powerful, awesome but less popular because casuals aren't focused on as much... becomes a kind of "core gamer only" system
