1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,520
you know it's funny we've collectively bought into the streaming on demand

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:11,719
concept for movies and TV shows to the point where the idea of going to the

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:13,679
video store to rent a DVD seems so crazy

4
00:00:11,719 --> 00:00:19,279
that South Park managed to turn it into The Shining parody so why then do we as

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:25,439
Gamers have such reservations about letting go of our dedicated gaming box

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,119
be it a PC or a console in favor of a

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:33,760
streaming service well let's start with explanations of some of the way that

8
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:35,920
games can be streamed first is local

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:41,520
network streaming this has existed in the form of Sony's Remote Play for PS

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:44,399
Vita and NVIDIA's game stream for PC for

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:49,480
a couple of years the way it works is a powerful gaming device sits somewhere

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,760
rendering your game frame by frame then turning the output frames into a

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,840
compressed video stream nearly instantly

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:00,480
before beaming them to a much less powerful and sometimes even portable and

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:06,000
wirelessly connected device sounds like science fiction right

16
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:07,840
well it's not it actually works I tested

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:13,040
NVIDIA gam stream with a high-speed camera and found that it actually adds

18
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:18,000
less latency than the image processor built into some televisions so from

19
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:22,320
there then what if rendering could be done in a data center somewhere

20
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:26,479
completely remote with the resulting gaming experience beamed to you over the

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:31,520
Internet well that's where industry giants like Microsoft Sony and NVIDIA

22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,720
are directed in their attention now Microsoft's vision seems to be to use

23
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:40,320
the cloud for heavy lifting and a less powerful client to do the basics

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:45,439
delivering a bandwidth savings but also increasing the complexity of the process

25
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:50,960
one reason why we haven't seen them do much with this yet while Sony ran out

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:55,119
and purchased on live and NVIDIA is building out data centers full of

27
00:01:52,600 --> 00:02:00,039
Graphics processors around the world in an attempt to make the video beaming

28
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:02,119
Paradigm viable now and there's a lot of

29
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:06,880
cool stuff about this approach it replaces an upfront cost for a new box

30
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:11,360
every few years with a monthly subscription that particularly for light

31
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:16,959
users could actually end up being cheaper thanks to bulk licensing of

32
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:21,640
games being done over by the service provider not to mention that paying only

33
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:28,440
for the time that you spend with those games could be cheaper than going

34
00:02:24,519 --> 00:02:31,000
overkill on a GTX 15,000 TI Ultra or

35
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:34,680
whatever just for the games that demand that kind of horsepower when you spend

36
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,200
most of your time playing games that would run on your thermostat if you

37
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:44,200
turned it down far enough but there are some challenges too for some people the

38
00:02:41,959 --> 00:02:49,000
future is now I mean I'm not a hardcore I'm a decent gamer but I can easily

39
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:55,159
enjoy third person games and even Fighters with the nearest GeForce now

40
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:58,120
data center 1500 km away but many people

41
00:02:55,159 --> 00:03:02,400
will need faster speeds lower latency and bigger data caps on their their

42
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,400
internet connections to make this viable although services like Google Fiber are

43
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:10,959
amazing for making that future scenario

44
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:16,440
become a reality sooner and another consideration is that not every gaming

45
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,920
experience is ideal for this V for

46
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:24,000
example will likely need to run locally forever to keep users from becoming

47
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:28,519
nauseated so as always it's going to be horses for courses which I guess is the

48
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:33,120
conclusion that I came to when NVIDIA approached us about doing a fastest

49
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:37,360
possible video about the shield Android TV and I countered with well I want to

50
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:42,280
talk about game streaming in general with a sponsored bit at the end about

51
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:47,040
how the shield Android TV occupies a unique position inside this rapidly

52
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:51,519
changing ecosystem so that's what I did and here's the bit about the shield

53
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,480
Android TV as a PC Gamer with a sick

54
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:58,200
gaming rig but very little time to sit in front of it I've been an avid NVIDIA

55
00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:02,519
gamestream user since the launch of The Shield portable since I can take that

56
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,879
experience with me to the other places that I need to be like the bedroom or

57
00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:11,000
the living room but that device lacks some of the newer features that this new

58
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:16,959
gizmo has thanks to its Android TV integration and upgraded internals like

59
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:18,600
4K 60fps Netflix and YouTube streaming

60
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:23,080
as well as support for other streaming apps like sling Plex Cody and sports app

61
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,880
with voice control with the included controller or optional remote and offers

62
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:32,840
up all the advantages especially for more casual users or guests who come

63
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:37,520
over that I just outlined before and it can handle it all at up to 1080p 60 FPS

64
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,680
and the really unique thing is that thanks to its teger X1 processor it also

65
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:47,320
delivers a surprisingly competent local gaming experience in the growing number

66
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:51,759
of controller friendly Android games and other natively supported games like Doom

67
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:55,400
3 Talos principal and War Thunder you can even stream straight to Twitch from

68
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:59,840
the shield with a quick click of the controller so then lonus how much will

69
00:04:58,039 --> 00:05:03,800
one of these set me back well if you're looking at the shield Android TV you're

70
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,600
looking at 199 bucks for the 16 gig flash-based model and 299 for the 500

71
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,639
gig model and then you can beef up the gaming experience with GeForce now for

72
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:17,440
only eight bucks a month after a 3mon free trial so it's kind of an exciting

73
00:05:15,479 --> 00:05:21,080
time then to be any type of gamer isn't it I hope if nothing else this episode

74
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,840
of fast as possible has given you some food for thought about where the

75
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,759
technolog is heading and what the limitations are thanks for watching guys
