** SHIELD TABLETS NOW AVAILABLE & BUNDLES FROM OcUK!! **

Nice these look cool

Does the game streaming work remotely over 4G etc?

 

[valkia]

Good to know. I figured it wouldn't just be Steam library as they advertise Titanfall which is on Origin. Definitely makes this more intriguing for me. Would you be able to ask about the keyboard / mouse support?

Bluetooth connection for devices.

I really like the idea of this. I would like it if the tablet was the controller as well though because indeed it will be hard to play on the train. I am more interested in streaming games from the pc to a different screen (pc is upstairs while huge tv is downstairs). I might get rid of my ipad 3 for one of these.

 

[MASTEROFNOTHING]

Interesting

This does look very interesting! So I can get away with playing games in the office from my home PC whilst nobody is watching

Question is WiFi or 4G!?!?

 

[DaleTheWhale]

Are there any tests done for streaming across a long distance?
I can't imagine the gameplay to be quite smooth streaming from home to your tablet on 4G if you're several miles away?

Also, can you use the screen as standard to play games like normal?

EDIT: What's the battery life like?

There's not much on web on terms of full reviews, there's plenty articles on first impressions and what not but I can't find a through review looking at performance metrics, battery life, camera quality etc.

 

[RavenXXX2]

looks alright.

Just been reading reviews on using gamestream with Shield in the USA and there are loads of good mentions that distance is not an issue. People playing a game 1000's of miles away and having no lag from the PC. So I guess I could have the game on my PC in Glasgow but be playing it via my shield tablet in the USA for example! Very cool!!!

I'm barely getting to use my PC as I do a LOT of travelling with work. This looks like it could be a great solution if I can use a mouse and keyboard!

Woot woot just ordered the tablet, from an American retailer

 

[Raggy]

Bonkers or Genius, I am not 100% sure yet.

How much did that save you then?

I'm in Vegas this summer (August 7th to 21st) so hoping to pick one up while I'm out there

This is the perfect solution for me besides building a Bedroom PC...can just hooke the tablet up into console mode on the TV and use Gamestream

 

[MrMarvelous]

Impressed by the price, how are these selling?

No out yet mate...looks like the 18th here, I'm sure they come out on the 30th in the States

Hoping I can pick one up in Las Vegas now

Hi there

More reviews here, it seems a slam dunk for NVIDIA and its a real product out now and I've got one myself now too, though I am doing it no justice by playing fruit ninja on it I think.

I know there's plenty of reviews out there already Gibbo but when your get the chance can you let us know how Gamesteam is?

In fact Slashgear had a good couple of video examples and yup...all seems good to me! Looking forward to testing this out when I get mines

I am gonna give my tablet to RJK and he will test all this as I've simply used it as a tablet and it seems great.

The fancy streaming stuff RJK will take it home and do some testing at weekend.
