- It's gonna be a quiet, introspective, very useful video
full of consumer advice about
Hey guys, this is Austin,
and today I have the brand new Nvidia Shield.
So you may remember this.
This is the original Nvidia Shield.
Now I actually really like this.
However, there's a new version that's just come out,
but the big question is,
is a $200 gaming console worth it?
What's interesting is that the Shield actually shares
a lot of common DNA with the brand new Nintendo Switch.
So, honestly this is probably going to be
a more powerful option.
Not only does it support both 4K and HDR,
but as you'll see, the new slim version
also adds some new features.
So this guy is running Android TV.
Now that's actually probably my favorite
sort of smart TV interface that I've tried.
Not only is it fairly snappy and easy to get around,
but it also is fairly powerful.
You can do things like actually multitasking
as you watch video, and there's some new things
with the new Nougat version, which this is preloaded with.
Also, that is really small.
Are you serious?
I mean, I don't think anyone thought the original Shield
was all that large, but this thing is absolutely tiny.
Wow, I wasn't expecting that.
I mean, in pictures, it looks almost the exact same,
but when you actually put them side by side,
there's a huge huge difference.
I guess it makes sense.
So, there is another version of this
that actually can come with a 500 gigabyte hard drive,
and I assume that that's probably
gonna be a little bit bigger than this,
but right now we're talking about something
that's not that much bigger
than a normal streaming box like an Apple TV.
You're really not losing much
because of the small size either.
So we still have two USB 3.0 ports,
ethernet, HDMI.
The biggest loss is the lack of a microSD card slot,
but honestly with the Shield,
I prefer to just plug in a USB drive
for extra storage anyway.
Something that wasn't included in the original Shield
is the actual remote.
So this was something like $50 on the previous version.
However, it's really nice to have this actually included.
As much as this is a gaming device,
I feel like a lot of people, myself included,
probably end up spending more time watching Netflix,
so having a dedicated remote is nice.
There also is a brand new controller,
and this
is an interesting
looking controller.
What?
I get going for the sort of faceted look,
but it's such a weird choice to not smooth out the grip.
I mean, it actually doesn't feel bad.
I really wasn't a big fan of the previous Shield controller,
so I do think this is an improvement.
And I guess once you kind of get it settled in your hands,
you really don't notice,
but that's such a unique call to do that.
I don't know.
I don't hate it.
It's definitely unique.
At $200, the Nvidia Shield
is an interesting value proposition.
So for this kind of price,
you could pick up a used Xbox 360 or PS3,
and ton of terrific games.
And on the flip side of things,
a used Xbox One or PS4 is not going to be
that much more expensive.
Now to be fair, you do have that 4K and HDR support.
Honestly, especially on the media side,
I think Android TV pretty much beats all of the consoles,
and it does have some fairly decent gaming chops
with games that run natively,
games that are specifically made for Shield,
as well as things like GeForce NOW,
as well as streaming from your personal PC.
But the real question is
how does all that stuff actually come together?
Something else that Shield can do
is play some party games.
More specifically, Jackbox.
- [Game Host] Arrange these _ [Austin] Oh no!
- [Man With Black Cap] Holy (laughs)
- [Austin] There's a pure guess here.
- [Man With Blue Shirt] I have no idea.
- [Austin] I think I know.
- [Game Host] Ernie has no eyebrows at all.
- [Man With Black Cap] I got it right! (laughs)
- [Game Host] Meet McConadark Ages
- [Man With Blue Cap] This is the best thing ever.
- [Game Host] Follow the McConamiddle Ages
- [Man With Black Cap] Yeah! - [Austin] Oh!
I did not think I had that.
What? - [Man With Black Cap] Yeah!
Oh! (laughs)
- It's okay buddy.
- Thanks guys for being in the video.
Really appreciated it.
Clearly the Nvidia Shield is the ultimate party game device.
Inside, the Shield is using the Tegra X1 processor
from its predecessor.
While that might not seem like an upgrade,
because it really isn't,
most importantly, not only is this more powerful
than any other streaming box out there,
but it's still got a lot more horsepower
than something like an Xbox 360 or PS3.
(upbeat electronic music)
So one of the things that you can find
on the Shield is Portal,
and no, this is not some dumb down mobile version.
This is a full port of the proper PC Portal experience.
When you think about it,
the Shield really is about as powerful
as a lot of the gaming PCs that were out
at the time of Portal's release.
So, sure, you're not getting the full 4K ultra setup
with mouse and keyboard, and all the kind of fun toys.
But, to be honest, you're really not losing a lot either.
It's pretty much the full experience.
And especially if you've never played Portal before,
it's definitely worth a look.
I make it?
Can I make it?
Can I make it?
Oh yeah I can make it.
There are also more traditional Android games
such as Real Racing 3.
Now on the surface, yes,
this is basically the same game
that you can play on your phone.
However, once you actually get it up on a big screen TV,
and you have this controller,
it really does kind of change the experience.
And speaking of this controller, it's good.
So you know at first I was a little unsure,
but after playing with it for a few minutes,
it immediately jumps out to me as
maybe not quite on par with something like the Xbox One,
which is definitely my sort of favorite controller out.
It's really not far off.
The sticks are nicely weighted.
The grips are nice.
Even the sort of hexagon shape doesn't really bother me.
There's also Resident Evil 5 for the Shield,
and as you can see,
it's fun, and it's really easy to play,
and I'm not dying a lot right now.
This is a direct port of the Xbox 360
and the PS3 version of the game,
and while it might not be
the most technically advanced game in 2017,
it's decent if you have any ammo, which I currently don't.
In addition to the native titles for the Shield,
you can also stream full PC games using GeForce NOW.
Now this very much is reliant on your internet connection,
but if you have a decent one,
it can be a good way of adding
a lot of titles to the Shield.
While it might be a little bit of an older game,
the Tomb Raider reboot is still a lot of fun.
And considering that we're running
at 1080p ultimate settings here on a PC,
it does not look bad at all.
So, I think one of the things that,
especially in the early days of game streaming
was a little bit sketchy was the latency,
but it's actually not bad.
I wouldn't want to play Call of Duty or Battlefield on it,
but if you're at something that's a little bit more casual,
it's completely usable.
Now there are plenty of GeForce NOW games
that you can pick from, including "No Man's Sky,"
so if you really wanna play "No Man's Sky"
on your Nvidia Shield, that's totally an option.
But there's a few different ways of doing it,
whether you can actually subscribe and get a few free games,
or actually just purchase them,
it might not be the greatest way
of playing games in the world.
However, if you have a desktop PC with a modern Nvidia GPU,
you can actually stream it over your local network.
So games that you already have owned
and you play on your gaming PC,
you can use the Shield to play on your TV.
In addition to gaming, the Shield makes a solid media box.
So on top of that 4K and HDR support,
you have all of the staples
like YouTube and Netflix and Amazon,
but on top of that, the multitasking is solid.
So I can be playing a game, jump right back out to the menu,
and you have additional things such as Google Assistant,
which is pretty much only found
on the Google Pixel right now.
There's a lot of cool stuff with the Shield.
For $200, while the Shield might not be
the best upgrade if you have the previous generation,
it's still one of my favorite ways
of streaming 4K video.
And on the gaming side of things,
that GameStream really does make it useful
if you do have a PC that's compatible.
If not, while a lot of the games are interesting,
it's not quite compelling enough to make it worth it for me.
You'd probably be better off just picking up a console.
But definitely be sure to let me know what you guys think
in the comments below, and I will catch you in the next one.
