I am a proud Nvidia Shield tv owner and Nvidia has just relased their new Geforce now beta on the Shield tv an oh how sweet it is. I can actually play almost every game in the steam library on Max settings provided you have a stable internet connection above 50mb/s. Some games do not offer controller support but plug in a mouse and keyboard and solves that problem.

*Disclaimer: It is recommended you have a good stable internet connection above 50mb/s. Wifi is not recommended but I personally use a powerline adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Powerline-ethernet-Adapter-TL-PA4010KIT/dp/B00AWRUICG/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1531766896&sr=1-4&keywords=powerline+adapter&dpID=313X4NZpaDL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Yes it is cloud gaming but after trying it out for a few hours I am dumbfounded at this. I notice 0 lag and can play at settings my gtx970 cannot. I mostly play on my ps4 and this honestly craps all over the ps4 and pc in graphic fidelity.

It is now in beta release on the shield tv and the a big question that is not known is price. That being said this service turns any low powered device into a Monster PC. Cloud gaming done right.

Cool story, but no GOW, HZD, Shadow of the Colossus, Uncharted etc, so I'll pass, also, blog it.

Sure, Star Citizen, you just have to cash in $20000 to have some ships.

Thanks but no thanks. For me I would much rather get my games on physical format and play them natively on a system. I download digitally when I have to. Streaming games is at the very bottom of my list on how I want to play my games regardless of how well it may run.

A streaming box? Really. Not to mention that if you're streaming your Steam library, you need a capable PC...

You're leaving out a lot of information.

For example, it will require an hourly fee to use the streaming service after the beta. $25 dollars for every 20 hours of gaming. Holy cow.

You can only play a game for 4 hours at a time. This is a potentially very frustrating system whe dealing with checkpoint system games.

It currently only supports 225 games. That's, like, one of the huge benefits of pc gaming out the window. It's basically a AAA recent best hits option right now

No mods?

It can't play GoG's version of TW3.

Does the TC not realize this? He's streaming from his PC... Lol

EDIT: Ah, they actually have a service. Still, even if it's maxed out from the server, you'll get all the network pixels to contend with. And no mods, which really negates the biggest reason the PC is the place to go for all single player games and many multiplayer games(leaving out control choice, that is).

Yeah, i noticed he was talking about Geforce Now afterward, which is actually worse lol. Streaming is still by-and-large shitty.

Streaming sucks and its up to us gamers to stop it from taking over.
