There very few decent native android ports and the controller is crap, although you can use an xbox pad instead.Has anyone played games on an Nvidia Shield here? been thinking about getting one but Android games are not the best and the selection Nvidia have doesn't seem amazing. I know you cam stream games from PC, but i don't have a PC, my brother does but it has an AMD card in it and you need an Nvidia card to stream.
For gaming it has the same problem as the tv, not enough ports. If you want to play games on the go/bog get a switch.Is the Nvidia Shield K1 tablet any good or are you best off going with the tv box?
For streaming it shits on the Fire TV, the Shield is super fast without all of Amazons bollocks clogging up your interface. The controllers have been updated for the 2017 models and they are much better than previous offerings, they aren't perfect but it's all about preference - I prefer a PS4 controller which pairs effortlessly to the Shield TV.There very few decent native android ports and the controller is crap, although you can use an xbox pad instead.
PC streaming is OK but a steam link is £20 and better. Gamestreaming worked ok but not worth it beyond the free 3 months and you can't transfer the game saves.
I sold mine and use an xbox for games and firetv for streaming. Much better.
Ah I'm fine with the PC for the occasional game personally, I was wondering if it would be worth convincing my old man to get a sheild tablet instead of a new console. It seems like it's too expensive and not enough games on their streaming service though from what I've heard so far.For gaming it has the same problem as the tv, not enough ports.

The switch uses the same Nvidia Tegra X1 processor found in the Shield TV ;-)For gaming it has the same problem as the tv, not enough ports. If you want to play games on the go/bog get a switch.
The Sheild's got a higher clock speed if I remember right even in the Sheild K1. Still you are paying to be able to play the Nintendo games with the Switch.The switch uses the same Nvidia Tegra X1 processor found in the Shield TV ;-)
That's exactly the idea, they are working to get a better, broader collection of games on their service. For instance Ubisoft are adding some of their back catalogue soon.Ah I'm fine with the PC for the occasional game personally, I was wondering if it would be worth convincing my old man to get a sheild tablet instead of a new console.

The potential is big there though(if it works as they say), think of all the classics they could bring to a new audience as part of the monthly fee perhaps, if they weren't just going for the newest COD and the like.
Only the limited collection of Switch games. I've hacked a Wii U so I've got every game ever released from NES to Wii U.The Sheild's got a higher clock speed if I remember right even in the Sheild K1. Still you are paying to be able to play the Nintendo games with the Switch.
