How to use a cool word to deeply experience NVIDIA SHIELD?
First of all, this interface is refreshing.
First, let's take a look at the interface of SHIELD. There are four lines from top to bottom. The first line is the shortcut bar for games and applications, and the icons are larger than the ones below; The second line is NVIDIA Game and Iqiyi Game Center. Let's call it a game for the time being. The next line is Qiyi App Store and Media Center. You can download Galaxy Kiwi, Tiger Tooth Live and other applications in the App Store. Let's call them applications. The last line is the settings column, including personal and accessory settings.
Downloaded games or applications will be automatically arranged at the back of the column, and each game or application is an icon, which is somewhat similar to the Metro style of Windows. This tofu-like interface gives people a clear feeling, unlike some TV box subsystems, which have a chaotic feeling when they enter, and the logic is not clear, just like walking in a maze.
Second, tell you what is the big screen game experience.
In terms of games, NVIDIA Shield mainly includes Nintendo, Android and streaming media games. Let's start with Nintendo's Super Mario.
1, The New Super Mario Brothers Wii
SHIELD specifically stated at the beginning of its listing that it would introduce selected Nintendo games into China. For example, the new Super Mario Bros Wii, Princess the legend of zelda at dusk and boxing! ! ",these classic masterpieces licensed to NVIDIA will be reproduced at the resolution of 1080P.
I believe that controlling a villain wearing a hat with mushrooms is the fun of many friends when they were young. If I were to evaluate the new Super Mario Bros. Wii, I would use Super Mario No Code to describe it, because the picture of 1080P is so clear and beautiful. Compared with the previous gameplay, it is simply underground. The remastered Super Mario is very story-telling, especially suitable for parents and children to play together.
2, wild racing
SHIELD also has some built-in Android games (in fact, they are all from the Iqiyi Game Center), such as wild racing. I've played this game on my mobile phone before, and it's good in gameplay and manipulation. Now I have moved to a big-screen TV. Although I don't have a good sense of control over my mobile phone, the visual improvement brought by the big screen can't be provided by any other equipment.
3. Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man 5
Let's talk about Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man 5 again. Fairy sword series has always been a classic game in the minds of many players. This visit to S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely attract many players, and Sword 5 can be obtained for free through exchange. I believe many sword fans will start with the shield.
To tell the truth, it may be that the author's memory of domestic RPG games still stays in "Legend of Xuanyuan Sword: Sky Mark", and the shield version of Xianjian 5 did not bring enough surprises to the author. Although Xianjian 5 is fine enough on the screen and the color is pleasing to the eye, it is still blunt from the expression and action of the characters, and sometimes it feels worse to shoot it directly in 2D. But then again, I gave you a fairy sword for nothing. What kind of bike do you want?
4. Streaming media games
Finally, let's talk about the most important GameStream streaming function of SHIELD. As we said in the last article, the streaming function of SHIELD is to move games played with GeForce graphics card on PC to TV, and the hardware on which this function depends is a powerful N card.
▲ Be sure to turn off the firewall on the PC so that SHIELD can search.
To turn on the streaming media function, you need to update the GeForce Experience driver to the latest version, and then turn on the GameStream switch in the SHIELD tab to keep the PC searching. Another thing to say here is that the firewall must be closed! Be sure to close the firewall! Be sure to close the firewall! Otherwise, SHIELD can't find the PC (we took a lot of detours here ...)
We tried Tomb Raider: Rise, NBA 2K 18 and Survival of the Jedi: The Great Escape. I have to say that moving games from PC to TV is simply enjoyment. The effect of Tomb Raider: The Rise of High Quality on TV is even more shocking. Laura's every adventure made the author sweat. This kind of immersion is something that ordinary monitors can't give you.
Although Tomb Raider: Rise is an action game, the consistency of operation is not as high as that of competitive games, so will it be smooth to play competitive games with SHIELD? Let's try NBA 2K 18. After a game, I really didn't feel the slightest delay. Running, passing, shooting, every movement is an immediate response.
There must be a friend who wants to ask if S.H.I.E.L.D. can play chicken. The answer is yes, but don't be too happy yet, because SHIELD is controlled by the handle, which means that all the actions of eating chicken are operated by the handle, such as running, taking equipment, aiming and shooting. Wait! How to aim with the handle?
This is the problem. SHIELD's chicken-eating sight is fixed in the center of the screen If you want to aim, you can only turn the angle of view by pressing the button. In the past, we used the mouse to slide the viewing angle, but the handle would be very troublesome. If you can't memorize the keys and operate skillfully, it will take minutes to send the courier. So my friend who wants to eat shield chicken is still dead.
Third, ask DuerOS if you don't know the actor.
The author said in the last article that SHIELD can not only play games, but also have some functions of TV box, so let's talk about watching TV with SHIELD.
The video content of S.H.I.E.L.D. is in cooperation with iQiyi. You can download Galaxy Kiwi and watch TV in Qiyi Play App Store. There are inevitably unknown actors in the process of watching TV. In addition to consulting your boyfriend/girlfriend or mobile phone Baidu, you can now directly pick up the remote control or handle and ask SHIELD. This is because S.H.I.E.L.D. has built-in DuerOS artificial intelligence system under Baidu. You can ask it about unknown actors and future weather, and the response is still very quick.
Write at the end:
Generally speaking, SHIELD is a good supplement for N-card players to extend the game to big-screen TV, especially its streaming media function. Judging from the game support list published by NV official website, there are already many games that can be played on SHIELD. Interested friends can visit NV official website. Anyway, the author didn't count them. ...
Of course, for those fans of Nintendo or Xianjian, a certain game is enough for them to pay the bill. Although the game itself has more or less shortcomings (such as Xianjian 5), it is really cool to play games on the big screen TV. Besides, S.H.I.E.L.D. can watch TV.
