Nvidia Shows Off Project Shield In New Boxing Video

Last month, Nvidia announced Project Shield, a handheld device that plays Android and PC games. Now the company has released a video of it in action, in a game called Real Boxing that shows a pair of pugilists battling it out in the ring.

Real Boxing features 20 different boxers, with their own signature style. Players will be able to train in a variety of minigames, such as skipping rope and using the speed bag. Nvidia says it's all possible because of Project Shield's Tegra 4 quad-core processor and 72-core GeForce GPU. Take a look for yourself below.

  • Whoa those Hook animations looks strange...
  • Not really a fan of the design of this thing.
  • looks good

  • This is gonna give Nokia's N-Gage a run for its money.

  • It ain't no Fight Night, but the game looked pretty decent.  Also, I don't why I found the fact that this video was recorded during the lunch hour to be hilarious.  

  • Why did they have to choose to have both sticks on the bottom?
  • For some reason, this seems like portable gaming's Ouya; an Android based device that's for a niche crowd.
  • looks good...

  • Anyone else notice that they only had one character model just reskinned 20 different times?

    And please for the love of god fix your YouTube integration, why are you the only site I can't resize the YouTube clips in Chrome for Windows 8 (also had the problem in 7)?
  • It's about time an article was put together for this, unless i missed another one. This probably won't do well, unless its cheap.
  • symetrical joysticks. will not buy.
  • After seeing this in action, I'm a bit more optimistic on its chances. I'm probably not going to buy one, but it doesn't look half-bad.

  • Looks nice to play, but the appeal is appalling.

  • Vita is better.
  • But who is it for? It looks like it'd be nice for emulators but I can already do that on my phone, and I don't really know why I'd stream games from my PC if I had to be near it. It has a touchscreen but there's no reason to choose it over a tablet due to it's attached controller and awkward design, and it's likely to be rather pricey. Just seems like a poorly thought out product.

  • so...this is like a portable laptop???

  • N Gage 2013
  • Hehehee.

  • It's a niche device for a niche within a niche of PC gaming that fits in a niche that almost would get a Wii U. They must have plenty of cash to waste if they think this is going to actually catch on with most people.
  • Is this an android game or a remote streaming of a game running on the pc?
