Any rumors floating around of a new Shield coming out? I just got a new video card and I want to try this out but I don't know if I should just wait for the new version.
"The Ultimate is coming"
I don't think a countdown timer with no additional information is enough to warrant it's own thread until the timer is complete, so I thought I'd just post it here.
So I've ignored the Shield since the start, but now that I've realized that I do most of my gaming on my handhelds at my place, it is starting to intrigue me. I have a laptop with a 680M, so I believe the streaming should work.
What's the deal with the compatibility though? At this time, can I stream any game I play onto the Shield? Or am I limited to just a few games that are mentioned in the OP?
Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Strike Suit Zero and MX vs ATV: Reflex just got added to the GRID beta.
Anyone know why controls wouldn't be working from the Shield in streaming mode? Officially supported games and Steam big pictures don't respond at all to button presses.
Also, I have no streaming / Shield setting/options in Nvidia GeForce Experience.
Which controllers? They worked fine for me (Ps3's via USB and built in).
My Shield should arrive soon. Is it still recommended not to update to 4.4? It's preowned so I have no idea if it'll be updated already but I suspect not as it's hardly been used.
4.4 works great for me, just Root it with TowelRoot V1 so that you can save anywhere in the SD card and for other goodies.
If anyone is thinking about updating to Update 82, don't. I'm having multiple problems with Gamestream, and the Shield is running very hot with heavy battery drain.
Posted this in the steam thread but it didn't gain any traction. gonna ask in here as well:
anyone using a nvidia shield portable for remote play? How does it work compared to a PS4->Vita when it comes to remote play? Thinking of getting one during the holidays if it drops to around $100 just for whenever im at my GFs house and she's passed out (we have opposite schedules).
I'm using one at home and it works well. However, there *are* things you need to look out for like distance, signal quality and interference.
For fun, I did try streaming with my Shield connected to Ethernet and it worked well.
Be ready for some troubleshooting nights because some updates can break your setup.

Dungeon Defenders 2 on out and is supposed to be Shield Optimized.
Sonic 1/2/CD are amazing conversions that somehow surpass the MD originals. Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi and Virtua Tennis are all solid ports too and all of them are optimized for Shield controls.Anyone else have any Nvidia Shield optimized games they recommend? Thanks!

My Shield is basically a Sega & Retroarch machine at this point.
I found NBA Jam to work perfectly with the Shield control mapper, may as well have been shield optimized. Looks great too
Really debating on whether to get the Shield or the Shield tablet. Any thoughts? How well does playing games on the tablet work? I think I might rather have the tablet for every day usage, but I really like the integrated controller with the regular shield, and I would imagine playing games on that would be much easier due to the form factor.
Anyone try remote streaming Shadow of Mordor yet? My understanding is that it's not optimized yet. Curious as to the performance. Seems like the perfect game for the shield.
How do you guys tend to find third person games on the shield? My playing habits have changed a lot over the last year or so, and looking at getting one of these so I can play the games I want, but socially on the couch without hogging the tv or hunkering down at the desk in the corner. However, during my experience with the PS4 & Vita remote play set up, I've sometimes found third person games like assassin's creed look a little too small, or like the camera is a little too zoomed out, as devs obviously assumed people would play on a bigger screen. I don't really want to dump £180-200 on a device where only some genres are viable so any input would be great!
Has anyone gotten PS4 streaming working on their Shield Portable? If so are all the buttons working as expected, like R3 and L3?
I just got it working with the new Android Version of Remote Play! It's awesome and will replace my Vita as my remote play handheld of choice if I can figure how to get all the dang buttons from showing up on the screen.
Does anyone know a way?
How ? I cant find anything on the web .... Tried to download the app and said it wasn't compatible with my device (Shield Portable).
Hey guys, thinking of looking at one of these for christmas. If my desktop is running on a wireless connection, will my gamestreaming be janky?
