![]() In favor of Nvidia it must be said that they have been financing ports for Android of quite a category Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Resident Evil 5 are on the way, and we have also seen a preview version of Crysis 3. This leaves the feeling that the game is running at a lower performance than it actually has, and also explains why only Shield TV users have access to this port, because the less powerful Tegra K1 on tablets could not move the game well. Revengeance operates on Android with a clear disadvantage at the frame-rate level, but really the problem is in the frame-time variations, which can vary between 16ms, 33ms, 50ms or even more at any time, which implies that there are little consistency in the overall experience. Frame-rate is often around 30FPS, and the only time performance is roughly the same is during tutorials. Metal Gear Rising is a game designed to be played at 60FPS, and although both 360 and PS3 had performance drops, both versions are much superior in this regard to the Shield. The biggest disappointment, however, is precisely in the performance: the Shield TV does not hold the same as the versions for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. We have seen previously how mobile ports tend to underperform previous generation consoles, but there have been notable exceptions: Doom 3 BFG Edition in particular runs at perfect 1080p60 on the Shield TV, an improvement considerable compared to the 720p60 of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which also had very evident drops. The resolution of the new port appears to be the same as on previous generation consoles as well, which is surprising when you consider that the Shield’s technology, the Tegra X1 chip, is based on moving parts but has a significantly more powerful GPU than the Xenos from the Xbox 360. Based on First impressions, this version of Metal Gear Rising seems to be very similar in visual terms We have played it alongside the Xbox 360 and apart from a more pronounced gamma on the Microsoft console (possibly RGB vs rec.709), graphically they are almost identical. ![]() Starting with the positive, Nvidia has managed to include all the content of the original game in a download of just 4GB, and that despite the fact that the video sequences have a visual quality far superior to the murky coding that they looked like on Xbox 360. This conversion has both good and bad points. Now it is finally available, but unlike the rest of Nvidia ports, which work on the entire range of Tegra hardware, Rising only works on the Shield TV microconsole and also requires a traditional remote. The brilliant Metal Gear spin-off developed by Platinum Games has been advertising for months on Nvidia’s Shield portal, with no indication of when it was going to be released. ©2016 NVIDIA Corp, Android version licensed to NVIDIA Corp for distribution and sale on Google Play.Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance running on Android with mobile hardware? This is something that we had to prove yes or yes. The game should have no issues installing to internal storage, or to a SD card formatted with the exFAT filesystem.
