Amazon reveals tower defense/shooter hybrid Sev Zero for its new Fire TV streaming box

At $140 ($100 for console, $40 for controller) it's an impulse buy for me.

Haven't played a good tower defense game in a while so this should be good

and this is how a good PR team can do wonders

Maybe, though, this is just a first step to something bigger. Amazon could become a legit publisher/digital retailer, a la Steam. Their app is already on X1 and PS.... Sure, this set top box and this game are terribly uninteresting, but what if they're just testing the waters to see if they want to get into the AAA business? That might not be a bad thing.....

amazon needs to stick to doing what they do best. they're amazing at it, there's no need for them to humiliate themselves here.

The game looks cool.......

This thing is a piece of garbage, it lacks the basics such as Sonic 3, Sonic and Knuckles, and Crunchyroll. Failure TV Shit Box.

They are going to fail.

Looks like Poo

Someone should have told them that playing on a handheld screen and a TV at the same time is a terrible idea. See Wii-U.

So much gimmicky shit. As long as core PC games still exists, real gaming will too. Certain consoles can derive whatever watered down inspiration they want from that -- but this stuff in the article above? ... ugh.

So it's pretty much Starhawk then right..?

Which actually, was a very good game! (Hence my profile picture). It just had little to no marketing :/

Are those screenshots simulated, or do the games really look that awful? Sev Zero is an exclusive which I won't mind missing, lol

Finally, Microsoft's TV Box now has a competitor.

If it's an open hackable bit of kit like most android platforms I might pick one up, but I'll wait until hardware reviews come in. The market is already overflowing with cheap poorly made tat, Android Mini PC's aren't exactly a rarity but good ones that are well put together are few and far between.

Damn at first glance of that photo I thought I was looking at a Halo screenshot.

Is this really what gaming is turning into?

That list is literally all mobile apps. There'll only be a handful of games that you'll sit down and play a while by the looks of it.

Whats the target market here? Cant be core gamers since theres already three main consoles with exclusive software. Seems like a waste of time in my opinion. If there are any first parties that manage to secure a spot on the Amazon "thing", then maybe ill look into picking one up, but right now it seems to be another Ouya

It begins... Mwhaha... Hahahaaaa..... HAHAhahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Funny, this is what Microsoft wanted to badly, to control the living room. I wish Amazon luck in the market.
