Demo footage of NVIDIA’s ‘Project Shield’ console emerges

Fresh from yesterday’s reveal at this year’s CES, NVIDIA have deployed this demo footage of their ‘Project Shield’ Android console/Steam streaming device. A lot of tech sites are labelling this a ‘real-time’ demo but it’s not clear what, if anything, is being rendered here in real-time. Was this whole movie rendered on the chipset in the Shield? Even the footage of Hawken at the end is presumably just stuck on during the final cut. So! Take it with a grain of salt, but it sure is shiny:

NVIDIA have also deployed an official website for the device, which you can peruse if you’re keen for more info and shiny package shots.

will be interesting how well the streaming works /shrug

 

If it can play hawken that smoothly it will be interesting. At what quality I guess will be the second question.

 

It’s a being labelled a ‘Tech Demo’ because the entire video is an Unreal Engine 4 real-time tech demo, instead of a pre-rendered video.
