I bought recently a couple of hd titles from gameloft. and as played with them I noticed the following:
1-Games textures doesn't look as smooth as on the trailers !
2-The Same games look perfect and very smooth on the iPhone and iPad 2.
At first I thought that game's high resolution on a WVGA display might make the graphics look rough and not smooth.so I tried to output the game on a hd screen! The result was even worse!!
So what do you think ? Where its the problem ? Are not the games real HD? or most of the games still lack the full hardware acceleration?
PS : I used fast & furious 5 and 9mm for the experiment
I think you posted on the wrong section
But are the games optimized for our SGSII?
Of course ! I downloaded them straight from the online gameloft store

No. "HD" apps & games are really just a misnomer. What is implied by the use of "HD" is just simply that the games have nice graphics. It in no way implies that the games have a resolution of 720p nor 1080p.

The developer is the problem, there's no reason the game should look any different between ios and android.

what they call HD is only DVD quality 480
While obviously not 720/1080p, I think the graphics on these games (Modern Combat 2 in particular) are stunning for a phone. Really impressed with the look and feel of it.

I found wheres my water to lag very badly, playable, but as a high-end PC gamer i am used to 100-200FPS and i found it unplayable at 15-20.
Angry birds lags at later, more complex levels.
Dead space 30fps, runs ok, not too much fun of a game though.
Raging thunder 2 runs great, and actually is a very fun game.
Don't know much about the other though.

I encountered a problem with Fruit Ninja, where it would disappear from my phone for no reason and then I would install it again and it would work with all my highscores intact. And just like that, it stopped its 'disappearing' act and all is well now. Ran into this behavior with Wildchild v1.1 ROM!
Just thought I would post it here to let others know and find out why it did that.
Hello,
Everybody knows the game infinity blade by iOS right?
The game is desiged by EPIC GAMES, the makers of Gears of War 1/2/3.
So you can expect a great game again on the apple product.
With that kind of games you can expect a real high-end-performance phone/tablet.
So i have here a HTC ONE X, i love this phone. But i want to test it for real.
So my question is, what are games like infinity blade on Android, with that kind of graphics and cpu usage.
Thanks in advance
shadowgun thd
mini motor racing
gta 3
siege thd
some good ones
dark meadow is the best graphically atm, and its free! (well, freemium)

means tegra optimised, meaning they are optimised to work on our wonderful tegra 3 chipsets meaning we get better features, and higher visual fidelity
thanks for the information .
I will take a look for the games.
Uhm if there are more games, just say.
and uhm infinity blade, there are possible way they convert the game to android ???

riptide gp THD
dead space
mincraft
oh and not to forget, look up 'onlive' its a service that lets you stream full PC games to our handset over the internetz, have to pay for em still, but games like l.a noire work fine with the touchscreen
and aha, if only it were so simple to just 'convert' infinity blades not all that good gameplay wise anyway, just looks pretty, but dark meadow uses the same unreal 3 engine, and epic say its better on tegra 3 than any other platform, check it out
Thank you for your information. Only I cant find dark meadow on store and elsewere

Dear fellow S4 Mini guys,
I have bought this wonderful device a week ago, and since then it gave me nothing but usability comfort and modern smartphone awesomeness (I think its part High-end and part Middle-end (namely PPI and GPU are of the middle-end. You are welcome to discuss this though).
Being a mobile gaming junkie, the first I did is fire up a latest PPSSPP and playing some PSP titles, and I am still amazed at how the ARM cores have matured over time, Qualcomm Krait 300 (and 400 that started to appear just right now) and ARM Cortex A15 currently being state-of-the-art.
However, my grudge is against the GPU, which is less important to platform emulation than it is to native Android games. While it is enough for any game I actually play on S4 Mini, it is showing its middle-end teeth on the games like Iron Man or even Vice City. And I started to wonder what this Adreno 305 GPU is actually about. I've been for quite some time apart from recent 3D Android titles, and have seldom spare time for checking anything that is downloadable to figure out for myself.
So I wanted to know what games are the most GPU-intensive and demanding so I could test them and get a grip on the general GPU performance of S4 Mini. Not that it would change anything, but once the curiosity starts to spread... From Youtube videos I know that N.O.V.A. 3 runs quite good.
Thank you in advance, and you are most welcome to discuss the general performance of our device and your notes on performance of specific games.

Thanks, I'll check out some of these games tonight.
However, from my experience with 2011 Xperia Play I can state the following:
Dead Space, Shadowgun, Mass Effect and Need for Speed Most Wanted will run flawlessly on anything even remotely more powerful than Adreno 205, which is considerably behind Adreno 305.
Btw, I forgot to add that Carmageddon, GPU-accelerated mode of FPSE and N64oid run flawlessly as well. But I believe they are not GPU-demanding enough to push the limits of S4 Mini.
Take a look at a game called "The Room". Quite fun as a puzzle game and looks quite nice.
Seem to hit some snags here and there. You determine if it's poor optimisation or if it's just GPU-intensive.
Another game that looks quite good from the screenshots (don't really play fast-paced games on my phone) is a game called Galaxy on Fire 2 HD (it's free).
Galaxy on Fire 2 HD isn't supported on the I9195 though

Yes it is indeed weird. I've emailed the developers and their reply:
Thank you very much for the report, that Galaxy on Fire 2 HD is not available for your Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE, we'll forward it to our development team in order to let them check this issue and whether the game should be compatible with this device.

That is in "your case" through the playstore yes. If you get the APK from other sources, you can install it. Basically most games that say "Not Compatable" are compatable anyways.. it's just the playstore that thinks your device is not supported.
Beware that if you have editted your build.prop and your DPI, playstore can also have compatability issues because its 240dpi for this device.
Also I'm not listing games if they do not work, obviously!
NOVA3 just works fine.

Try out Ravensword. Runs on the unity engine but graphics are pretty good! It's been described as skyrim for Android, minus the largeness.
P.S. it should still be available as part of the humble bundle. humblebundle.com

I have Xperia M (Can't afford more than that) , it also have Adreno 305 , i can run games like Dead Trigger , Shadow Gun , Real Racing 3 ,Asphalt 7 and 8 and the game runs pretty smooth , too bad i can't play games like MC4 and NOVA 3 cuz of its internal size . Nevertheless , its a good GPU :good:
