DOOM 3, Crysis Will Be Coming to NVIDIA’s SHIELD Android TV

So, NVIDIA’s Big Reveal at the MWC 2015 is an Android TV Gaming Hub – Aptly Named the NVIDIA SHIELD (Yes, Again). This Device Marks the 3rd Time this Naming Convention has been Used for One of NVIDIA’s Devices – 1st for What is Now the SHIELD Portable and then the SHIELD Tablet. But, Enough of the Name, the Exciting Part is that, you’re Going to be Able to Run DOOM 3 and Crysis – Yes, Freaking Crysis – on the New NVIDIA SHIELD. The New Gaming Hub from NVIDIA is Not Yet Market Ready as of Now but, our Hands-On Session Gives us the Impression that, there is Very Little to Tweak with this Sweet Box – it Feels like the Finished Product. The NVIDIA SHIELD Runs Specifically on 2 Basic Foundations – 1st is the New Tegra X1 Processor, which Gives the Box its Muscle to Run Resource-Intensive Games like Crysis.


The 2nd is Android TV, which NVIDIA has XoZZeN as the Interface of Choice for their Hub. DOOM 3 will Come Out Pretty Much the Way you Know the Game from its Windows PC and XBox 360 Versions – with Engaging Single-Player and Multi-Player Formats. Crysis, on the Other Hand, has been the Benchmark for Putting Up Gaming Rigs since Time Immemorial (we Exaggerate, of Course) because, it Takes Processors and GPUs to the Limit. It is Surprising that, the Tegra X1 has Enough Muscle to Even Run it – Nevermind Running it Well, which it does. So, When the NVIDIA SHIELD TV Hub Comes Out this Year, we’re Gonna Make Sure we Pony Up the USD$199 for it. Sweet, Sweet Price Point, by the Way. Feels like Android Gaming is Getting a Boost into the Future.
