NVIDIA announced their new Project Shield handheld gaming console at CES earlier this week. We have already seen a demo video of the device from NVIDIA, and now we have another video of the console in action.
The video below, which was put together by the guys from Phandroid, gives us a good look at the new NVIDIA Shield in action. The gaming certainly does look very impressive, and the graphics look excellent.
Features and Capabilities
Project Shield is a pure Android device that will let you play both Android and PC games. Android games can be downloaded from Google Play, while PC games can be streamed from your PC with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX GPU. This means you can access game titles from the STEAM game library, providing a versatile gaming experience. The device is powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 4 processor, which ensures smooth performance and high-quality graphics.
One of the standout features of Project Shield is its ability to stream games from your PC. This is particularly beneficial for gamers who have a powerful gaming rig at home but want the flexibility to play their games on a portable device. The console also supports a wide range of Android games, making it a versatile option for gamers who enjoy both mobile and PC gaming.
Design and Usability
The design of Project Shield is another aspect that has garnered attention. It features a built-in controller with a full set of buttons, joysticks, and triggers, providing a console-like gaming experience. The device also has a 5-inch 720p retinal multi-touch display, which offers vibrant colors and sharp images. This makes it not only a powerful gaming device but also a great option for watching videos and browsing the web.
In terms of usability, Project Shield is designed to be user-friendly. The interface is intuitive, and the device is easy to set up and use. It also has a long battery life, allowing for extended gaming sessions without the need for frequent recharging. Additionally, the console supports HDMI output, so you can connect it to a larger screen for an even more immersive gaming experience.
