Anyone see the Epic Citadel tech demo for iOS4?

Pretty impressive.

That is amazing, the quality of games/apps on the iPhone is still way ahead of android.
It looks as smooth as an xbox 360.
I know no one as said this now, but it pisses me off so much when people say if I want to play a game, I will use my Playstation, BS the iPhone games are kick ass.

Looks like a sweet game.

I'd be willing to bet that the Hummingbird proc has this beat. It just doesn't have a fancy tech demo yet.

I'll take turn by turn navigation over turning my phone into a toy any day of the week.
Its lovely but the reality distortion field of Apple is in full effect.
"Intel Sucks" until we need to use Intel.
"Its not the quantity of apps, its the quantity" until the iPhone has the most
"Apple makes machines for creating, not for playing games" until they want to compete with Nintendo and Sony
"Nobody reads books anymore"
"Nobody wants to use a device that can't fit in the pocket"
I believe this year we also heard "Nobody wants to use a phone with a giant 4.3" screen"
Drink the drink...

will this run on the Ipad? couse if it does the its a WIN
wifi-ipad + EVO = WIN

Meh, just get one of the new ipod touches and play the damn game on that.

I came from an iPhone 3GS, not much of a mobile gamer though, but your statement is very true - iPhone games are far more advanced than Android, but also different strokes for different folks. iPhone also head a head start.

I hope so. I really do...I don't want to be a fanboy to either side, but I really do hope Android overtakes Apple and iOS. I hate Job's snooty and controlling attitude/business' practices.

All of what you said is true. I hate the company and how it's run, but the iPhone 4 is still a great competitor to the Evo and other similar Android phones.

True or an iPad (personally don't need two pocket mobile devices), and with free tethering using the Evo, could be win/win.

gotta admit the graphics are pretty impressive, you can tell they are keeping the framerate low though. The blur effect helps mask it some but there was once or twice where I could see it stutter.
I give it until the end of the year before the roles reverse and apple is playing catch up with android, it's only a matter of time

one of the reasons iphone games have suddenly jumped in quality is the fact that they pushed an update not too long ago that fully supports opengl 2.0 and if im not mistaken android also supports opengl 2.0 the second reason is that apple controls both the software developed by them and the hardware requirements are developed by them but manufactured by hardware parters its only one product gradually and carefully upgraded, its a very strict system that allows them to produce higher quality faster then android, developers have to write code that can be scaled and refined to support many handsets..it just means that for the time being android will be behind...its one of the reasons the new windows phone os are more strict on their new hardware guidelines...soon android will mature to the point that it will be easy for developers to write an app for many different hardware sets...its just going to take time

I've played the demo. It is very impressive. Why do people need to hate on it just because it isn't available on their device yet?

Holy Crap. Final Fantasy VII on WP7?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYwJTUYLNEU&feature=player_embedded#!
I dont even know what to say.

I'm not talking definitively, but it looks really, really fake. Not that I wouldn't want it to happen. Also, what on Earth would a game release have to do with an OS update?

Thats most likely a fake - theres Playstation controls on the right side - They would at least change that.

i dunno. it could be a fake, but it could also be true because it has the xbox live and wp7 logo at around 0:46 below, center then at the upper right of the screen. if this was real, it'd be really huge! IF it is real.

Yea because Square Enix would show Playstation controls on WP7...

Look at the load time.... kinda fishy.
PlayStation game on a Xbox LIVE handset.

yeah It's probably fake but FF7 isn't exactly a Playstation Game, it just happened to be published on Playstation back in 1997 (or whenever it was). There's no stopping Square Enix porting it to other devices.

This is as fake as Pam Anderson's tits

The reasons people are calling this fake are... baseless.
But who cares. I sure don't wanna play a game from 1999 again. Beat it like 10x back then. Don't wanna beat it again.

Weird.... video is no longer up, apparently the "user" deleted their account.

[Q] How to access Xbox profile Through Android Phone

Hey! Im new to posting on a forum, usually I can find what im looking for. I guess for this one I will have to ask. I have my Xbox Live profile saved on my micro SD card and it works great when i plug the micro SD in to a card reader and then in to the Xbox. But when i plug the sd into my phone and connect the phone to the xbox with a micro USB cable it doesnt show up at all. Any Ideas??? it would be convienent to be able to use my phone for the profile as i have a 32gb micro sd and i always have my phone!

Just download the app Xbox live statistics. You won't need your SD card for it.

I took a look at the app you suggested and correct me if I am wrong, but it looked like it was just to read up on your profile. I want to be able to take my gaming profile with me so I can sign in to my xbox live in more than one place ( obviously not simultaniously) without having to recover my gamertag to each xbox I go to... People do it with flash drives or hard drives.

This may be a silly question, but when you plugged the phone into the Xbox via USB, did you remember to put the phone in "disk drive" mode?

A lot of times it is the silly things I forget
Ya i am mounting it in disk drive mode. its just really weird because it allows me to do it with a usb sd card reader with the same card. and the cable works with my phone on my computer....

Make sure you have your profile on the root of your SD card. If not that is why it is not reading it
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

ya it was on the root of the card. Xbox makes a sort of partition on the card, and android can see it but i dont know if that is the problem...

Sorry but this can't be done (after the last update). Ill tell you why; Xbox allows flash drive support and it has to wipe the drive and make it to a format that's only readable by xboxes (or computer software). I've tried this multiple times, plus you'd have to wipe your phone every single time. Also Xbox sees our phones as media devices and not for storage. If you can trick your Xbox to think your phone is a flash drive only and not be able to store stuff on your sdcard have fun. Best thing to do is buy a cheap thumb drive; Walmart sells a 2gb for 8 bucks. Android won't read the Xbox format which makes this kind of impossible lol

2gb flash drive for $8. PS3's online community is horrible. Not to mention those hackers backing geohotz have been launching ddos attacks on PS3 servers to get back at Sony. Good luck with that.

Launching DDOS attacks Google it and see if you feel safe . There's tons of stories about this accros the web. These guys are really mad at Sony for suing Geohotz(iPhone, PS3 jailbreaker) so they are constantly hacking Sony's online network.

I feel fine. So a group of Geo fans wanna shut down the PSN sporadically.. nothing really for me to "not feel safe".
I recently had surgery so I have been playing Black Ops virtually non-stop without any issues.
Sony is far from perfect, but I think they'll survive these "attacks".
I can google xbox hackers and find many scary articles as well. It's out there, regardless of the console.

Its not a just "group" its well known activst group dude not fans who are notorious for hacking hardcore **** and stealing personal info etc.Its funny you say you think they'll be fine when a 18 year old kid hacked and bypassed their entire security to allow jailbreaking and read/write access (now suing him lol) Anyways, black ops has gotten very boring lately. Maybe its cause I've hit the final presige maxed out; call of duty games get old so fast.

You say an 18 year old kid like that matters.. Geo is very good at what he does. There is a reason why people have tried and tried to hack the ps3 and failed until he done it.
That "activist group" has done nothing to the PSN aside from interrupting it momentarily. Sony has since hired some more serious people to defend against it, and it is obviously working. You can google that too =p
The xbox can be hacked as well, google it~
And yes Black Ops is getting kinda boring.. but new maps coming in May for you guys, June for us >=(. That is a feather in the hat of the xbox tho~
I use both, I notice little difference in them honestly.

Glad you went online and did some reading; but yeah new maps only extend play about another month. Cod just needs to quit being lazy and stop recycling the same engine over and over. Hey here's an idea lets use the same engine(for past 4 games) and give these idiots new maps and guns and milk it for what its worth. I'm not investing anymore money into that company screw maps. I'm ready for battlefield 3 and gears of war 3(something that always make Xbox better than ps3).

I do agree to a point. I like the COD playstyle, but, I do want something fresh.
I tried all the supposed "cod killers" that keep coming out. They all just kinda.. suck =\
This is just my opinion, some may not agree, but.. CoD may not be the best possible, but it's the best we got. Hopefully they can get creative by the time MW3 hits in November. Not gonna hold my breath tho hah

Definitely agree, cod has set the bar and all these cod killers just leave us to go back to cod. I'm a die hard cod fan but they have to get creative man. Every year a new game comes out it gets very old fast like Madden. I think this year battlefield 3 is honestly going to shut cod down. Im a huge gears fan so of course ill have that as well but that's 3rd person. If cod doesn't get its act together I feel like the name will vanish.

Possibly. Madden hasn't vanished tho.. which is sad. Although, one reason why Madden hasn't vanished is because it bought the NFL exclusive which is a crock of *bleep*. I was actually enjoying (NFL 2K5 I think?) before that happened.
So, it's possible that CoD could die off because they have no exclusive. They are still selling like crazy tho which really doesn't motivate them to change anything, and honestly.. it doesn't need a full makeover, just freshened up.
I think once they get to a point, there just really isn't much they can do. Like in Madden, what can they really do to make it different from what it is?
I kinda think these other companies need to really step it up and create some good FPS games so I can rotate them. That way when I want something different, I can just slap in another game that's equally as good but with a totally different playstyle.
Hopefully you're right about BF3, but I was seriously disappointed in Bad Company 2 so I may be scorned.

[Q] regret buying a vita, plan to sell vita and buy a psp?

hey guys i just recently bought a ps vita wifi version 2 days ago with 8gb memory card. total cost is 401$ in my country.
and after 2 days i regret on buying it because of lack of games and games are too expensive. i already bought little big planet ps vita and resistance burning skies. both games are fun and awesome not to mention the multiplayer is a lot of fun. but im buying the vita is actually to play psp games because it has dual analogs so psp fps games are much easier to play on it.
but i found out the psp games on the psn are ridicilously expensive compare to my local stores (15-20$ difference). and i want to play ps1/psx on it as well but again the games are expensive and i can just easily download the psp iso and psx roms of the internet and play it on my phone (fpse) which the psp can do that very easily with cfw installed. which makes me regret of buying the vita. i mean i should just buy a psp at the first place and i can play a dozens of games on day 1. with cfw of course LOL
so im planning to sell my vita to buy a psp go yes psp go not the psp 3000. i prefer my handheld to be more portable unlike psp 3000 if i put it inside my pocket can damage the analog and the psp go is not because it is slide. then i plan after i sell my vita i buy a psp go, after that i will get $200 money left and i plan to buy a ps3. never had a ps3 before been a pc gamer the whole life after ps2.
do you think this is a wise decision? selling my ps vita to buy a psp go and buy a ps3?
sorry this may be a wrong forum but what the heck. what do do you think xperia gamers?

What? Almost all my classmates got the PSP. Thats too mainstream. I bought this phone cuz this is "lighter Vita" + smartphone = ftw

I highly doubt you can get 401$ back unless you return for a full refund. I don't recommend getting a a PSP as it is really dated and since you have a gaming computer, why not do PSP/PSX/PS2 emulation? Do you REALLY need PSP and PSX games on the go? As for the PS3, unless a lot of your friends have it, I wouldn't get it. In your situation I would upgrade my gaming computer(If I had one). Personally, I think that you don't need a secondary handheld device if you have a smartphone. I NEVER use my PSP anymore. Despite the better games on PSP, I'd rather play on Android.
My advice: Sell the vita if you don't like it. Then with $401 upgrade your gaming computer if it's not already good. If that's already a satisfactory computer for your gaming needs, then idk. But don't buy a console. Just play PSP games on your computer

yes of course im not getting the full 401$ back after i selling it. if people considering buying my ps vita i will reduce the price to $390 because of it will become a second hand after a second use. so with that 390$ i can buy a psp go $228. so my total money would become $162. and oh, i still got my vita games for sale too little big planet and resistance. little big planet cost 69$ when i first bought it and im gonna sell it for $65. then my total money would become $225. and with that $225 left, im gonna by myself a ps3 with a little bit add of money of course.
no no i dont need to upgrade my pc because i already have a high end gaming pc.
yes i do need a psp/psx games on the go thats why i want to buy a playstation PORTABLE
i will never use a phone to play games regularly because phone is not meant for gaming besides the xperia play with dedicated gaming button but this is not the point and i will not buy myself an xperia play. i dont really care and i already know the psp is outdated but i just want a portable gaming console on the go.
what do you think??

Hi,
I think it is a very good idea to sell you vita and buy a ps3 and psp. I had a lot of experiences with the psp cfw and it was awsome, till my psp was stolen . But if the only reason why you want to sell your ps vita is that the games are to expensive and the catalogus is to small my advice is waiting. The psvita hackers are busy with the hacking progress of the vita. As far as I know the system firmware in now 1.81. They are all ready hackers who secceeded to get psp and psx games working, but it is just at this moment not the right moment to release this things. My advice is wait till system version 2.80/ 3.00 you will see amazing things for the vita .

finally someone with experience with the psp. im sorry with your psp stolen.
yes the games for the ps vita is too expensive for me. even some ps3 games are much cheaper than 1 ps vita games. and yeah the ps vita games library is really small and the only game worth to wait is assasins creed and cod retribution. but if i had a ps3, both of that games will not matter.
of course i know there will be a cfw for the vitas omeday, but definitely not this year. and probably not anytime soon too. because if you think of it it is too early to release a cfw for the vita. yes my vita is on the latest version 1.81 just updated it since day 1. i dont really care about any updates because the games price will not be drop any time soon so whats the point.
btw may i ask, do ps1 games lags on the psp. i kinda want to play toy story 2 and twisted metal psx on the psp while im on bed.

I woul do the same if I wear you honestly, I actually wanted to buy the vita too but my brother bought so i looked at it and my thoughts were that I can buy it when there will be a cfw available. So just go for it but my advice for the PS3 if you want to buy it look first for the games you would like to play i have bought it just to play 3 or 4 games so think good about the PS3.
PS1 games runs perfect on the PSP you won't have any problems to play them.

My advice, buy a vita if you have a job and a salary so that you can buy all the games on psn and local stores.
If you are like me, still in college and no salary given then forget it.
Haha same bro! I thought the same, when i bought the vita there is a cfw already available but no.
Yes of course bro, if i buy ps3 in my local store i will be given 4-5 free chosen games and im gonna choose it wisely.
Thank you, you have made my decision. There are already people contacting me interested to buy my vita. Hopefully he will buy it today and i will buy a psp go tonight ps3 tomorrow so that i can play a tons of games on my psp since day 1 unlike ps vita, I can only play lbp, resistance since day 1 only, and fifa 13 and uncharted demo.
So yeah my vita is currently just sitting on my desk. Thank you again

Get a 3DS - I've never regretted this purchase I made 6 months ago. Heaps of great games including Metal Gear Solid, Super Mario 3D Land, Kid Icarus and soon Smash Bros and Monster Hunter. You can pick them up cheap no because people are upgrading to the XL.
PSPs are dated, Vitas are not yet viable (wait for COD, Elder Scrolls and others), Xperia Play can play any PSX game so for good quality mobile gaming I use 3DS.

are you serious?

[Q] Buy Ouya for XMBC, Cheapcast and Emulators?

Ok, guys... Ouya is not available in my country, but I have one opportunity to buy this console, since my friend is in the USA atm.
I am not interested in Ouya games (some are too expensive for my taste). I'm thinking of buying the console for video playback (MX Player or XMBC), Cheapcast (to stream from my Nexus) and emulating some old gaming systems (GBA, NES, Sega, etc).
I don't like the fact that it's easily brickable (I know you don't like that, too).
Should I buy it for that? What's your opinion?

Go for it.
I am more than happy using mine for XBMC and emulators along with side loaded games and a few choice Ouya games.

I bought it for xbmc but to be honest, I think that i would have been better off doing more research. It was an impulse buy and if you are going tobe doing emulation and side loaded stuff you may as well spend the money elsewhere.

OK the xbmc part is debatable, personally i enjoy mine using xbmc but i can see others frustrated with it. However I'm curious about the emulation part, I am running the nes, genesis and a few other emulators on it without a hiccup and absolutely love it for that. It is probably only a matter of time before someone does a good port of mame to it and that will just add to it.
what the unit does and the form factor, or a better way to put it not having to have a full pc there to do these little things. and if i want to do something more powerful normally i'm at my desk for that anyway.

I think android and a small set top box are the correct OS and form factor for TV displayed emulation but i say money could be better spent elsewhere for the following reasons. For XBMC, the controller is horrible. It just is. If you want a decent remote to go with the Ouya it will run you at least $35 or $40. For most other stuff the Controller is not the best and a PS3 controller seems to be the current controller of choice for gaming. If you get an android HTPC it will still be able to pair a remote (or use flirc) as well as pair with a PS3 controller. The other selling point with a Non-ouya android device is that you are not given a version of the android OS which needs to be modded to use the Play store. My final complaint and the biggest is the wifi is just horrible, just. plain. horrible. Moving the wireless router or running a cable 35 feet to the living room are not options and it is the only device with such bad performance.
that is my rant... i just talked my self out of an Ouya... too bad i didn't write this $99 ago.

OK i have to argue about the controller part of this. if you are geeky enough to buy an ouya then you have at least 1 tablet laying around, dont say you do not because you do. the xbmc remote for android or ios devices works great for xbmc and the ouya so really that is not an excuse for complaining about the controller for controlling the ouya when in xbmc.
now setting it up sucks, but there is a way around that to, it's called plug in a usb keyboard for 10 minutes and setup your network shares and all.

I am geeky enough and currently use that solution at times although honestly, I dislike the XBMC remote on the phone and tablet. I like buttons that I can push. Aside from personal preference, that solution is only valid if the box stays in XBMC and XBMC is used as a launcher for android programs and another controller is handy and paired. The other issue is that solution is only valid if I am both home and willing to let the other people in the house use my phone or tablet as a remote so they can use XBMC.
So while I agree there are other solutions for controlling XBMC I don't think they justify the purchase of the Ouya simply because they are available, especially since they are generic apps and will be available regardless of the android based set top you buy. Why pay the price for the Ouya controller so you can immediately implement a solution that is suitable for the situation.

Sad news, guys. A friend went to BestBuy in NYC yesterday to buy me an Ouya. http://stores.bestbuy.com/1448/
They had 3 of them and all were sold yesterday during the day. The nearest BestBuy was 15 blocks away and he didn't have the time to go there. Today he is flying back home, so no Ouya for me... :/

It's a piece of sh***... Don't waste your money for this console or whatever it was supposed to be. I have it and I hate it... Waste of time and money... Get a real android or Linux device and that makes you happy
