Thursday Night Throwdown

Thursday Night Throwdown: 06/20/2013

We group up for the Last of Us, break out an Ouya, and then take it home with some Teräs Käsi.

It's Thursday night and it's time for you to go up against us in a weekly throwdown of decidedly humble proportions.

What exactly were people expecting when they put money down for a $99 Android-based console anyway?

I've seen good PC games but the facial animations and quality killed any game I can think. Anytime someone claims a game has better they typically look weird or the faces looked screwed up imo. I was more impressed with the in game cutscenes in Last of Us than I was many games CGI cutscenes.

Seriously MAsters of Teras Kasi as made by Namco Bandai!!!!

Also I still think the Ouya and other Android Micro Consoles could be come a viable thing for indie devs.

Been noticing this consistently over the past few months, but is there a reason pretty much everything on Giant Bomb has low audio levels? I always have the volume maxed and it's still so quiet :/

@chrystolis: The audio's pretty good for me, might be something up with your system. Could always update your audio card/audio drivers, can't hurt.

The Ouya seems like the worst thing. When the biggest profile release for your open source android console is a 7 year old remake of a 23 year old game and you can't even get basic structural/interface things right, I don't think your future for anyone other than people who want to install emulators or whatever is very bright.

Not sure if it's just me but the html version stops playing after a minute or two, the streaming flash version jumps around and then the progressive version has some framerate issues.

I think the audio is low at around there because in the stream they lowered the audio. I remember having to turn my big nob up.

Some interesting info: teras käsi also means steel hand in estonian.
