PC hardware giant Nvidia is looking for a distributor in the UK, as they look to get all serious with their Project Shield gizmo that looks to 'upset' the console market. It can stream games from PC.
It also plays Android titles. Shield is expected to launch in North America this Q2, but the UK remains without a date. Nvidia believe it will "raise the bar" for PC and Android gaming.
NVIDIA recently announced their "first living room entertainment device" and "world's first Android TV console", the SHIELD. AUTOMATON's Matthew Coslett provides his views on the new system and what we can expect.
Forbes - SHIELD, the dedicated Android gaming handheld from NVIDIA, launches tomorrow in the United States and Canada, and it packs some sophisticated streaming features inside its Tegra 4-powered shell. If the concept of enjoying controller-friendly Android games and your library of Steam Big Picture games while lounging on the couch or in bed sounds appealing, read on.
The shield is getting some really good reviews actually and is looking like a nice piece of hardware.
Give it one or two generations of new Tegra chips and this thing will be a beast.
Only problem is internet because going to a restaurant witg free wifi just to game lol,but definitly going to buy one.
Maximum PC: As you might expect, Nvidia had a major presence at E3. If you haven't done so already, be sure to check out some of Nvidia's E3 highlights and declaration on the state of PC gaming, which is filled with a bunch of tech demos, including The Witcher 3 and Warframe. In addition to showcasing what game developers are up to, Nvidia talked about Grid, Shield, and a PVR feature it's baking into GeForce Experience.
For me Shield will be a hard sell however, next gen phones and tablets based on the Tegra 4 will be portable gaming powerhouses.
Hah, Nvidia is shopping for a distruptor? Nice.
distruptor?! :\
thing might be great but dang it looks like a turd like a kid glued a screen to a 360 controller lol its ugly as sin imo
it only runs android games and streams PC stuff right?, i don't see a point.. personally i'll stick with my Vita and 3DS. I prefer full long games, not bite size ones.
