Oton - New Game Console

[Wrath Of Khan]

Only ten backers and 455 dollars. They haven't a hope. If they were on kickstarter maybe.

 

[erico]

They could try and sell the software before a hardware.


A self sustained crowdfunding does not age/expire, could go foreeeeever hehehe :rolleyes:

 

[MJAussie360]

Here are my thoughts. hope its all good, new poster here.


They posted on youtube that they were in the kickstarter program, which was false and debunked quickly. When they were shamed in the comment section, they changed the name from “Kickstarter” to “Crowdfunding”


Any comments questioning the console were removed, deleted and now he has disabled comments entirely. People had valid points, asking how it works etc. Definitely sceptical at best but then again, people need some constructive criticism sometimes.


I also kept screenshots of the conversation I had with him over youtube.


Their last console, which barely even made it to market, wasn’t even a console at all. It was a overpriced, over hyped, glorified Linux Box. A friend of mine actually bought one and states that it was the worst thing to come out since the Atari Jaguar.

Welcome to the forums (or is that fora? forae? sod classical languages!)


Could you upload those screenshots here? It might be interesting*.

 

[MJAussie360]

Sure thing. These were taken from my iPad via the Jasmine Youtube App, so the comments run up instead of down for some reason. And only being able to screenshot it, I overlapped it a bit so it didnt look all edited and fake, lol


After this conversation, he blocked me. A day later he disabled comments completely, and people started to post on his actual channel mainpage.


Hope it helps.

Is this the most complex rip-off or clone ever produced by a private company?


He obviously has no technical abilities (look at the website) and has so little business & marketing sense that he doesn't understand why the OUYA was a success.


Why is this guy so keen to tell everyone that the OTON is not a OUYA clone?


Methinks the cheap scammer doth protest too much.

Is it the name that gives him away?

​

 

[MJAussie360]

Yep, I fully agree, and he pissed peoples comments off because they questioned too much.


So the pics were ok? Everything was clear etc?


What are your thoughts about the conversation I had with him?

 

[Binky]

I think the pics of your conversation is a perfect demonstration of what a nutcase this guy is.


I read it something like this:


Can you give details?


oton is amazing!


Why did you lie about using kickstarter


some other people lied too!


What sort of games do you have?


oton is real! I promise!


Is oton mainstream or like ouya


oton is not like ouya at all its so brilliant!


It would be good to have more info


oton is not a phone


ouya had a working demo


oh no they didn't!


your argument is flawed


shut up and go away <blocks>

 

[MJAussie360]

Haha OMG I nearly pissed myself laughing XD

 

[vcoleiro1]

The most troubling thing in my mind is that I have seen them say as much several times, that they resent or even hate the OUYA.


Why would you then name your console OTON - 4 letter name starting with O just like the OUYA. That just does not make sense, comes across fishy to me.


Oh well, put it this way, the damn thing has a laser on it's head. A laser!. Some people have got to get it just for that.


Well , at least Dr Evil anyway.


I thought it was funny what this young guy on Youtube had to say about the OTON.

[Fzero]

looks like I'll pass on this little machine then eh

 

[MJAussie360]

Lol I love what he said about the OTON. hilarious, thanks for the share vcoleiro

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

Still 455 dollars pledged.Lol The 10 backers are probably his drinking buddies.


The oton is dead, dead in the water and shit out of ...

 

[Binky]

The 10 backers are probably his drinking buddies.

You'd have to be pretty drunk to believe in that rip-off!

 

[MJAussie360]

Yea, the concept is very cool though, but even if it did work they would be like old school atari/coleco gfx, lol

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

I like the idea of a projector built in, but this shits sinking like the titanic (No not the james cameron one). This project is' terminated' its lost in the 'abyss' its 'alien' to me etc.


Just felt like doing some late night trolling.

 

[diligentcircle]

It's not sinking like the Titanic. The Titanic sunk spectacularly. This is just kind of disappearing from our consciousness.

 

[Binky]

this is sinking like zune and kin

Woah,


I hope our campaign for the console we're designing doesn't have such a rough start.


OtonX does seem cool, but no video of a prototype was really shown...

cool?


all the laser and camera mentioned aren't included in the thing they sell, it'll only be on more expensive, future model. the only difference from any other random android console (think ouya...) is the software they describe. and honestly it looks so improbable that it could generate any enjoyable and usable game that its just a joke. the price is even a little high considering other android console crowd funded. count the fact, that it's crowd funded through their own dubious website, paid in advance and you have all the ingredient for a major failure... I'dd be interested to see if the people who paid will get refunded...
