Apple increasingly focuses its devices towards the world of video games, we see how it releases Metal for iOS and Mac, API for MFi Gamepads, 64 chips with very powerful GPUs, however the best games already know where they are and where they have always been, on the PC.
What if I told you that now you can play those games from your iOS device or yours AppleTV 4?
Surely many of you would say things like “Bah, the touch controls they are not the same ... "or" Surely the performance It is not the same and it will be played with lag. " or even that this is not possible.
Because with KinoConsole This becomes possible, and solves several drawbacks such as those mentioned above at a stroke.
KinoConsole is an app for iOS y tvOS that allows you to stream your PC screen, this is designed so that when you run a game it remains full screen on your device, since this app is exclusively focused on this use.
KinoConsole is installed in Windows PCs and it automatically detects our Steam games, being able to add non-Steam games manually, once everything is up and running, we just have to open the application from our iPhone or AppleTV and it will search for the devices with Kino Console Server installed on the same network where we are (or via 3G / 4G using your Google account), once we have selected the device we want, we will see a list of available video games (previously added from the PC), by clicking on the that we want, it will run automatically on the PC and we can start playing it from our device remotely, with good image quality already 60 fps (As long as your Wi-Fi network allows it, this requires little interference and if possible a 5GHz Wi-Fi network or that nobody else is using the bandwidth, if you want to forget about problems you can consult our super wifi guide and optimize or buy a router so that this type of use is viable in your home).
But touch controls are still unfeasible for PC games, right? Well, yes, this is true, and that is why KinoConsole makes a very interesting conversion on the fly, we can connect an MFi remote to our iPhone to make use of KinoConsole, the PC program together with the app will take care of virtualize an XBox controller and translate the controls from our MFi remote to this, so that we can play GTA V, DarkSiders or any other game, at the highest quality, from the comfort of our living room and using our AppleTV 4 or our iPhone / iPad.
Fantastic, right? Well that's not all, KinoConsole even allows us to simulate the use of VR glasses, placing our smartphone in VR glasses like the ones Carl Zeiss VR One and by marking the option from the app we can play a game in virtual reality without cables, with our bluetooth remote control, anywhere in the house and with head tracking (head movement detection) to make our gaming session even more realistic (obviously this feature is restricted to iPhone or iPod Touch, neither an iPad nor an AppleTV can make use of it).
So that you can test it on your own, the people in charge of Kinoni Software have provided us promotional codes for you, both for the iOS AppStore and for AppleTV, but before you use them I want to emphasize something. Many times the promotional codes expire because they have been generated a few days ago or they do not correspond to the correct app, this time they gave me the codes last week and I tested for myself that they worked, today I can no longer test if they are still active So if any of you see a message indicating that it has expired, please indicate it in the comments and I will ask for new ones, all this can be done in a polite way without questioning the intention of the writer or the blog itself, said that, I hope that the codes continue to work and the fastest can make use of them.
Códigos iOS AppStore:
All are already redeemed.
From iOS
More codes please !!
I am very sorry, if all the codes are already redeemed it is that there have been faster people, think that it was published at 19:00 p.m., anyway you can use the free app and even try the paid one and support the work from the developers, thanks for your interest!
Do you know if there is a version to stream from mac?
Unfortunately, currently KinoConsole is only available for Windows, any other remote control app or screen streaming will work for you, although not at this level ... If they release a version for Mac we will let you know 😀
