Will this inspire other companies to give it a try? Too soon to tell, but if these Android games all use similar control schemes, it would make sense. Will Fire TV inspire other manufacturers to make a leap, too?Īmazon is the first big player to enter the TV-gaming space outside of console manufacturers and PC hardware companies. Hopefully, everything will be saved in the cloud.but it's not made clear. I'm still trying to see what happens to save files over a bunch of games once the apps are deleted. What happens to games once you delete them? Once I've spent more time with multiplayer, I'll add my thoughts. I haven't used this yet, but would you want to play two-player games? If they were good, like a tennis or Wii Sports-style experience, maybe. Multiplayer.possible, but would you do it?

Terraria, Badland, Asphalt 8, Riptide GP 2, Dead Rising 2, The Walking Dead, even Minecraft Pocket Edition.you can already get all these in many other places. And a few felt like the way iOS games feel when you pair a controller with them: more like games you'd rather touch than use buttons with.ĭon't expect anything more than what Android/iOS already offers: the Fire TV's initial offerings, while better than I'd expected, cover a lot of familiar bases. Others, not so much: Walking Dead is 1.1 GB, and Asphalt 8 required a 1GB download before I could dive in.Įven though most games I tried were surprisingly decent, there were clunkers: Crazy Taxi, one of my favorite Sega games, looks awful on the Fire TV, and doesn't even map its buttons properly - I had to use the shoulder button for gas, versus the trigger. Some games have tiny file sizes, around 50MB. I downloaded about 12 games before I got a warning that I'd hit capacity.

The Fire TV has 8GB of storage, but you can only use 5.5 out of the box.
