[Q] Steam game you would like to come to Shield - Shield Q&A

what steam games would you like Nvidia to add streaming support for? for me it would be:
Alan Wake, Grid 2, Farming simulator 2013 and some other controller enabled games such as the red faction games and maybe ridge racer unbounded.
Above all i hope nvidia adds a feature so we can test streaming for different games ourself and essentially play whatever we want. this could include games that aren't on steam as long as Geforce Experience can find them.

I can't speak for certainty, but so far, I've never seen it block Steam games. They don't show up independently in the list of games, but "Steam" as a game itself can launch and install any of your steam games, even those that don't support controller at all (and therefore are pretty much worthless over SHIELD)...

I thought Nvidia had to basically enable games to be streamable onto shield? if you check out info about it it says like "originally these 5 games will be streamable with more to come" and whatnot :S

I wish I could give a more definitive answer, but I'm only on the Android side of things. And all the versions and builds I've tested support "Steam" as a game (in Big Picture mode).
I'll ping product management and see if I can get an "official" answer to post here.

I know it's not totally practical, but I used to play WoW with an xbox 360 controller with joy2key software. (never did the large party raids and whatnot just simple questing etc) I wonder how simple or complex it would be to get games not running through steam to stream to the shield. Obviously the loss of keyboard is a major downfall, but with ingame macros and a teamspeak client I can see the number of inputs the shield has could be workable.
There's other games like maplestory that has joystick support, more information about how to get non-steam games working even if a script/hack is required would be appreciated. It's my personal determining factor on it being worth doing a pc upgrade to support the shield's streaming feature.

yeah mmo support would be awesome. even if you had to have maybe a mini bluetooth keyboard with you? or just play without talking? or use android's mumble app and forget typing XD

Official Shield FAQ states that non-Steam games can be streamed too. They just need to be listed in the Geforce Experience application. So I would expect that all games will run, it's only about optimization.

It seems only Beta of the streaming app is limited to Steam. Also take a look at some videos in YouTube, they are showing NFS as non-Steam game on Shield.

ohhh ok i see. i forgot that they had shown NFS. but Geforce Experience still has to find the game for it to be playable. Sadly as of right now GFE only seems to find about 1 in 5 games for me. thanks for the info tho!!!

Non-steam game: Mechwarrior Online. The game is setup perfect for dual joysticks and 1-4 weapon groups.

You have failed to understand how this works. Hawken does not run on android, you run hawken on your desktop PC with a GTX650 GPU or above and the shield then streams it.

I've never played it... Sounds like I may have to give it a try. And according to Steam, it should work fine. (Any game that's listed as "Full Controller Support" and plays in full-screen should play perfectly, but no promises)

Konami take their time these days. They once had it all in terms of football games, now they are left trailing far, far behind.
The good news is that their mobiles offerings are like their PS1/PS2 games, and nothing like their current batch of nonsense.
Can't wait to play this with XPLAY controls.
I have my hopes in PES 2012. That can be a really great footy game.
Bought it, had a good play.
Its definitely the best footy game for Android.
However, it is not as good as an older Iphone version I had.
Nor does it come close to the PSP version (obviously, but was hoping for same gameplay, just inferior graphics - but the gameplay has changed - it's more structured, less fluid and lacks the 'anything can happen' factor of PES).
It is nowhere near as much fun as the 10 year old ISS Pro Evolution 2 on FPSE. (though sadly, this game crashes all the time [usually when you score a goal) on FPSE - if anyone can recommend any settings to keep it going, I would like as it is perfect otherwise and a far superior game to the Android version).
Let's get ISS Pro Evo 2 working on FPSE instead!!!

I don't have it, it is $5.04 in the app store. I just emailed the developer to ask if our Xperia Play controls will work with this. The Videos on Youtube look awesome (Playing WoW and others) But I don't want to shell out the cash if the only option is onscreen controls.
Thoughts???

Hi Rob!
Yes it should support the XPeria Play but I "hardcoded" values for buttons like (cross/triangle/square/select/start).
I will try soon (< 2 weeks) to add an option that you will be able to set a specific action like (spacebar, d, control, ...) for each buttons of xperia.
I add your request in my backlog. I've received feedbacks and now i'm fixing bugs and add new features.
I will release a new version (Kainy 1.01) this Sunday .
Best Regards and thanks for your comments, suggestions and post on XDA,
JS.
Definitely going to buy this. Been waiting for this for a long time.
Does the pc need to be switched on for this to work?
Sent from my R800i using XDA
Yes, the PC will have to be switched on. The way it, if I understood it right, is that it streams the video to your phone and then adds controls on your phones screen.
I am very interested in this app and the idea. If the analogs work and the gameplay is smooth even over a 3g network as advertised then I'm on it. I am just curious how that would work and if there is be a demo to try.
i emailed the dev.
and wow,fast response.
i'm asking about the internet minimum requirement and the plus value than another diff remote app.
here is the answer:
For the Local Wifi is really fast. You should get a 30-60fps depends of your phone and computer.
And for the internet connection, there are 2 mains factors, your internet provider for upload (computer->internet) and your phone download bandwidth (internet->phone).
I have a really low upload connection at home. So I optimized the software to be able to work at 0.5 mbps for "internet mode".
And if the speed is too low, I've created 4 types of quality image between low->high quality.
I think the plus values is customization like you can customize your games and they keep the settings.
So if you customize Skyrim, after customize wow, and come back to play skyrim, you'll get skyrim settings.
And each applications has 5 pages, so you can only put minimal buttons and switch pages.
I definetely want to buy this app next month,still wait my salary pay off.

Imagine you are not at your computer right now, so boring and want to continue playing Mass Effect 3, Darksiders, PS2 games, Dreamcast games, Gamecube games, Wii games through various types of emulator etc.
While sometimes I'll leave my laptop at the first floor and kind of wanted to play PC games downstairs at my sofa or far...far..away from my home. It's very usefull. It's like your own ONLIVE system. I have use this kind of thing before with PSPDisp. But it's limited to WiFi connectivity. But Kainy can connect using WiFi/3G/4G...Wow!!!
I see, not much of a point for me since I wouldn't keep the laptop on probably but useful for others

I would love to see an advert version of this, I want to try it so bad but I just can't pay for it. Plus, I saw something about a laptop as I skimmed through this, try an older game. The ONLY reason why I want this app is so I can play Grandia 2, since the Dreamcast emulator for Android hasn't come out, and the PC version is SO low end, I'll be playing once I remember how I got it to run on XP. Stupid Win98 only titles. lol

Renewal: Emulators for PSX Comparison.

Right a Difference between Emulators:
FPSE:
Always 55-60 FPS
Smooth Emulator that is One of the Best applications out there for Old school Players Such as myself . It provides Now a Optional feature to enable Touch pad support for games.
Now has a Optional Graphics Change & Has All Round fast Emulation.
The UI is not very Attractive.
PSXperia:
Always 40-55 FPS
Emualtes well Options are Hard to Configure and UI is More User Friendly.
Smoothness Of gameplay is depending on many Things Software render or Hardware. Very Confusing for New people. But Is just a Tap to play.
Touchpad Support for 4.x.x
Tiger PS
Bog Standard Not Advanced Basic Emulation
Other Emulators are:
Fakes,Copy's, or Just stolen from Sources that are/aren't open Source.
uh don't forget touchpad support
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
What about Tiger PSone, he has his emulator's source code published.
#1 - psxperia
#2 - fpse
other ps1 emulators are useless .
i wish psxperia could run parasite eve ...
Oh ya Tiger's Apps Have there own source So il add.

Maybe put Software Render Might Fix It My Own Legal copy of Rayman Ran at 30 FPS with hardware render with Software It runs about 60FPS
Chrono Cross runs ok on FPSE (menus are under 40fps) but cant start at all on PSXperia...
I use both world...
FPSE could do with a Play skin with on screen L2 & R2 only possibly L3 & R3 once ICS is rolled out and its easier to make use of the touch pad
PSXperia, Is just what i was looking for, is great
Weird lol chrono runs fine for me using psxperia

I gotta say i prefer FPSE over PSXPERIA, since its easier and faster to get the games running. Had a lot of trouble with PSXPERIA. And since FPSE supports Touchpads... a charm! <3

Worms 2 Armageddon is in google shop now. But it isn't avaible in my country. Could someone check is it Xperia Play optimised ? Is it works ? I wait for this game for long time and it's shame that it isn't avaible for me .
It isn't available in my country either

Not optimised, touch screen only.
Says in the description that it is optimized for touch screen. BTW its a really good game and works great!
I love Armageddon but if you want a game-pad optimized version then you could always go the FPSe route.

No bluetooth controller support either? I can understand devs not wanting to spend time adding specific support for our now dated device, but bluetooth controller support would be nice.
I have the previous Worms game that was in the Play store, but never could track down an Xperia Play optmized version... I found using the ninja-rope skillfully to be very difficult with touch controls - just can't seem to get around as easily.

[Q] A question about multiplayer using two controllers

Hey guys, I have a quick question. The tablet is supposed to connect to up to four controllers. I bought two to play 2-players games from the GRID. I tried Street Fighter Tekken but the tablet sees both controllers as one. They both control player 1 only and there is no player 2 at all.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for that or perhaps something that I can do?
Also, are there any good games whether Android or GRID that I can play with two controllers?
Any answer would be much appreciated, thanks...

I'm sorry. I gave the tablet to someone and I don't have it under my hands any more. Wish I could help...
Have you tried BombSquad (Android)?
From what I've read in the nvidia forums, the multi-controller support only works with Android native games (i.e. no Gamestream or Grid support).
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using XDA Free mobile app
Trine 2 that comes with the tablet support multiple controls. Beach buggy racing works great for local multiplayer. Supports up to 4 players. You need an in-game purchase to enable that though but it is totally worth it.
There should be a few more native Android games that support local multiplayer such as Gun Slugs by Orange Pixel (have not tried it yet)...
Most emulators support multiple controls as well. Such as Mupen64 Plus AE (the only one I have tried so far).
Guerilla Bob THD should also work according to game description on Google Play.
