WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.040 Linus Tech Tips coverage of PAX 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital, 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.960 Intel, and Steel Series. So guys, we're 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:12.240 here in the hall of NVIDIA PCs where we've got a bunch of games that they're 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:18.080 showcasing. A lot of these are current games. So technologies like TXA, Fizz, 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:22.240 3D Vision, all that stuff is being shown off here. So there's Splinter Cell, 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:26.480 Blacklist, there's Hawkins, there's uh XCOM, the Bureau, whole bunch of really 00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:30.160 cool stuff. I heard a little bird tell me that there might be something to do 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:33.600 with Batman Arkham Origins. You know, I don't know, something something about 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:37.520 that sort of later on in the show. So, guys, stay tuned for that because much 00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:43.559 like the previous Batman's, I'm expecting this one to feature pretty 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:46.960 much the entire slew of NVIDIA gaming 00:00:43.559 --> 00:00:48.719 technologies. So, lo and behold, NVIDIA 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:53.360 Shield. So, we've got Dishonored, Borderlands 2, Batman Arkham City, and 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:58.559 Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim, all being streamed to Shield gamers who are here 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:02.079 demoing the device for the first time. So, there's a whole bunch of Falcon 00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:06.880 Northwest gaming machines powering these. And then the routers are obviously hidden, but uh here, maybe we 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:11.920 can get one of these gamers to give us their impressions. I'm blindsiding you 00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:13.920 here, man. How's the latency on this? Uh 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.200 latency, what does that mean? Uh the latency would refer to like do you feel 00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:20.560 like you're playing wirelessly off of another device or does it just feel like 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.280 you're playing on it? Uh well I feel like I'm just playing on it well because 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:28.000 it's just it just connects to the monitor. It's it's own console. So it's 00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:31.920 pretty cool. The graphics are great especially when you put it on the TV. It 00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:36.799 looks almost the same. There's no like um pixel distortion or anything compared 00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:40.720 to that. Fantastic. So there you go guys. He had no idea that was coming. 00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:43.680 That was definitely spur of the moment. Uh, I'm personally, since I already have 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.479 a Shield, more interested in these NVIDIA bean bag chairs. These things are 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:52.560 awesome. Look at this. I definitely need to get my hands on a couple of these 00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:57.680 somehow. I mean, I think the coolest thing about that is that a completely 00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:02.159 non-technical person who doesn't even understand that it's not the Shield 00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:06.079 streaming to the TV or the computer, it's the other way around. He has no 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:11.200 idea that it's just like wirelessly beaming an H.264 264 encoded video 00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:14.800 stream to the Shield itself is phenomenally cool because it speaks to 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.080 the seamlessness of the experience. I mean, us nerds are going to benchmark it 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:22.959 and we're going to measure the latency and we're going to do this and we're going to do that. But when it comes to 00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:26.360 an actual gamer sitting in a beanag chair enjoying the game, that's the 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.800 experience. Very cool. So, we're chilling on the couch 00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:35.200 with Brett from NVIDIA. It looks like the very robust Wi-Fi solution that's 00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:38.160 built into Shield is capable of doing more than just streaming games from your 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:42.239 PC. So, what have you got running here right now? This is Skiing Fred. This is 00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:46.319 one of our titles we have on Tech Zone. Um, so we're actually showing here on 00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:50.800 Shield Sking Skiing Fred being streamed to this TV over here. The only core that 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:54.640 I have on this device is just for power. It's streaming to that dongle over there 00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:58.640 over Wi-Fi Direct over Mircast technology. So, as you can see, I can 00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:01.519 take my Shield on the go, come home, quickly throw this up with a touch of a 00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:07.120 button up onto the screen and play all my favorite Android games, watch movies, 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:11.680 Netflix, everything onto the TV. So, using Wi-Fi, basically the idea is now 00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:16.159 you can play PC games on this or you can play Android games on that and the whole 00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:20.080 thing just is Exactly. It's a It's an all-in-one entertainment console. Nobody 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:23.920 knows what anything does anymore. It all kind of does everything. It's absolutely 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:27.680 crazy. So, thank you very much for showing us this, checking this out. 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:32.000 Guys, don't miss any of our PAX Prime 2013 coverage.
