What could really knock this one out of the park is In-Home Streaming. Why buy an nVidia Shield and a high-end GTX graphics card when you can stream to the iPad you already have?
- asronline 12y agoOh for sure, similar to the way OnLive were doing it. I'd call this feature a game changer. Edit: added this to my blog post quoting you.
- andybak 12y agoOnLive are still around. I fired it up to play Mafia II the other day.
- debacle 12y agoI don't really understand this comment. What does "In-Home Streaming" mean in this context?
- wlesieutre 12y agoSteam has a feature called In-Home streaming where it runs a game on your fast computer and streams it to a smaller/quieter one. It's useful if you have a big desktop box somewhere but your TV is hooked to a weaker home theater PC on the opposite end of the house. Quality and latency aren't perfect, but they're pretty good. On the Nvidia side, they added a GPU feature to stream things to their Nvidia Shield tablet (Android based, I think). quarterto is suggesting that if Valve made an iPad client for In-Home Streaming it could compete really effectively against the Shield, since IHS works with both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards and so many people have iPads already.
- debacle 12y agoThank you.
