Nvidia Project Shield

Game Radar Wrote:Hardware-maker Nvidia revealed development of an Android-powered handheld game console at a pre-CES press conference tonight. The system, currently going by the name "Project Shield," sports an Xbox 360-like controller with a 5" 720p touch screen attached. Nvidia claims that the internal battery allows for 5-10 hours of gameplay and up to 24 hours of video, putting it on par (if not slightly above) other handheld consoles on the market.

CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said that the handheld system is "pure Android" and showed off several different functions including video playback, social networking, and listening to audio, because it wouldn't be a game console if you couldn't watch <insert currently popular pop song> music videos on it.

Oh, and it plays video games--that's important. Huang showed off a few Android games, including a demo for the upcoming Hawken and some other Android games that looked great on the handheld's Tegra 4 processor. Even more exciting are Project Shield's PC gaming capabilities, which were also shown off (after a few technical hiccups). The system can't actually play PC games, but it can connect to a PC via wireless and stream Steam's Big Picture Mode. This, when mixed with the system's HDMI out capable of outputting 4K resolution, means you can play PC games on your TV with little lag (according to Nvidia), and serves as the link many need to get PC gaming on the television. In short, Project Shield is essentially working like the "rumored" Steam Box console was supposed to.

That controller looks kind of big, and uncomfortable.  Not sure if I'd want to hold that for 5-10 hours.

Yeah, that's pretty sweet. The only thing that matters now is how much does this thing cost.

It's what's inside that counts.

I think the plane(top down) picture makes it look big.

People won't pay $400+ for this Heyyou

They rather pay that much on next gen consoles.

They should match the Vita price point @$250.

400 bucks for an Android handheld would be too much.

RE: Nvidia Project Shield
At least the analog sticks are in the right place.

But yeah, it's pointless to stream your games.

Especially pc games, and all their windows all over the place.

This'd only work for indie and console ports.
