Games on android

Does anyone know if 3D android games will work properly for the touch pro 2 running android? For example, anyone tried N.O.V.A. and other really 3D games? Thanks everyone.

They might run, but very slowly though. Reason being because hardware3D isn't fully workn or implemented on this build yet. Its coming soon. So for now, everything is software rendered or something. Overclocking will help speed up apps and games but it can't justify the hardware3d not working. Try some out for urself and see. Id say if the app or game isn't too 3d intense, then it'll run it. Run an app or game that's very 3D intense, and it'll run slow or slow down device. I've tried some. They work but not fast enough. With this build they getting the essentials wrking first then everything else will follow. I've got a feeling very soon there will be some Major updates. If u must , then overclock. Overclocking will help out with games in the meantime until they finally finish implementing hardware3d/open gl.

I bought 'Super KO Boxing 2 ' which seemed to have great reviews. The only issue with the current build is it's fast enough to be playable but is still pretty slow. The file is also large so you need to install it to the SD.
If I was you I would hold out on 3D games until OpenGL has been sorted. Other than that you can always download normal games that don't use much graphics.
Even if we manage to get OpenGL, I'm not sure whether the TP2 can handle 3D games smoothly. We'll have to wait and see. :S

yep 3d games would be difficult to run smoothly enough to play with the current builds, so all you can do is wait and play 2d games that are fun. a game i play some what is world war, its pretty much just to waste time for me when im bored. either that or abduction world attack which is very fun
@ demandarin: i bet you cant go 10 post without mentioning overclocking in it , lol nah im just kidding, overclocking is great but i swear my phone doesnt like me everytime i try it out and yes i do put in the right amount. but thats another story.

i highly recommend doodle jump, super fun and addicting game that runs in 2D.
can anyone beat my highscore of 86,000?

Thanks for all your replies. By the way, is it better to get a decent android device than to get a touch pro 2 and run android on that. If anyone has the limitations of android on the touch pro 2, that would be appreciated. I wanna buy something that would last a while but I'm on a budget . Is the android on the touch pro 2 customizable like the android on a real android device (I mean if the most apps run smoothly like aHome and others). Thanks in advance!!

id say get a phone with android preinstalled on it. it will run way better, has newer hardware and will most likely have a capacitative screen

yep id have to say get an original android. if anything i would probably say to get a g1 because its the first android and still gots a hardware keyboard and should still be pretty cheep if you buy it on craigslist or ebay or something.
or maybe get the vogue, since its way more up ahead on the android development with ROMS and i think its cheeper to buy also

Okay, i know this is kinda off topic but if you have apk files for android, to install them, do I simply use a file browser and open to install? By the way, I don't think the Vogue is an android device by stock. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

yeah using a file explorer is a way to install .apk, just use something like astro or the one that came with the android build and then just go to the location of where its at and click on it. o and more than likely your gonna get a security warning the first time, it will redirect you to the settings for you to switch it if you want.
and yeah the vogue is not a stock android, thats why i said its in the farest in the android development. that way you can just put a ROM and replace WM in total or use the packages and still use there WM. but hey that was just as a way to save alittle bit more so you can just go with the g1.

So you can totally flash android on the Vogue? Thanks for your replies by the way. Besides those 2 devices, what else are some economical choices?

[Q] Best show off game

What would be the best show off game to get for the One X?

Anyone of the new THD games .. the new Shadowgun looks pretty epic with bombs and lights effects. But, the best for showing off, I'll have to say Riptide GP, because the effects are pretty stand out, they'll make people say "Wow, I never seen anything like this", while on Shadowgun they're pretty embedded in the game you won't notice unless you played the game on non-Tegra 3 devices .. and also let's not forget Glowball.

I've got Glowball and Zen Pinball on my list. C'mon phone get here!

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I have already tried Riptide GP on my HTC Sensation and was blown away by the gfx and speed of that game even on that phone. Cant wait to see it on the One X. It was quite fun too!
I already have three more games on my download list as soon as I have a (Tegra3) compatible phone.

Wow, that was interesting. I don't really do games any more, but very cool to see. I'd say Smartphones are now where PC gaming was about 10 years ago, but given the low power consumption etc etc, that's pretty damned amazing really. That and they're actually higher resolution.
Plus, given the rate of innovation in the mobile industry, it'll be biting on the heels of current gen equipment in very little time.

Wow, anyone knows a game that has same gameplay as Chidori? (last game on vid)

Asphalt 7 released

Finaly the guys at gameloft released the Asphalt 7,i've allready bought it (1 Dollar),but i don't know why the tilting doesn't work,i mean,i tilt my phone but the car doesn't steer,the only way i can play is with the buttons on the touchscreen.Any ideea?Anybody had this problem?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM

Please don't talk about warez on XDA!

which part is warez? stop getting trigger happy, op asked a legitimate question. op does the tilt work in other games? if yes might be an early bug. I read reviews and they not good tho.

Yeah,the tilting works on other games,i think it's a bug,hoping that the guys at gameloft will repair this,maybe get out a patch soon.In the meanwhille,i've allready finished 6 championships and the game is great,the graphics are good,the thing that bugs me about the game are the "post score" or different commercials that are always shown,but overall it's a great game .
Posted some screenshots bellow

Thanks mates..
Downloading.. 1.3 gB. It must be a good game.
P.s. Can I play it with a bt keyboard?

Don't know honestly,but i don't see why it would't work.

The framerate makes it unplayable for me at stock, it's just too much of a distraction.
I'm waiting on a gameloft update. (sigh)
However, with faux and game booster app it plays pretty good with a decent framerate , but still annoys me that it's still not the framerate it should be & not what iOS users get.
Stock users - I'd say not to bother yet, as the framerate is choppy hell.

Sorry, (in the nicest way possible) .... you must be blind if you think the framerate is ok .
Go have a look at the trailer on the play store, that's how it's supposed to run.
Everyone I've spoken to has mentioned the very poor framerate, even android police the other day mentioned it to be 'definitely choppy' in the pre-review.
It's not Tegra 3 compatible, not really.
It runs at terrible framerates on both my Nexus 7 & HOX.
It may work, but we have to wait on Gameloft for the fix.
This game doesn't even run completely smooth at all on base 2.05, faux kernel and game booster app - stock 1.29 has no chance.
......
Unless your using a U.S snapdragon S4 version, not sure how it runs on that HOX.

Probably man,i don't realy know what to say,i will compare it tomorow with my Ipad to see how it runs,but for me it's ok,i mean,i've noticed that all consumers lately want everything to be perfect,not realising that we are running on our phones games that are larger than NFS:Underground or NFS:Underground 2 which we played a few years back on the PC or PS and we were totaly satisfied about them,even if they weren't perfect.Probably that it isn't optimized for the Tegra 3,lately Gameloft didn't perfect theyr games and haven't worked as much as they did in the past on the games.But,in theyr defence,we did pay 1$ for it,i mean,lets be serious,we can't expect great things for a buck man.

Lol, that may be true for NFS, but the size of gameloft games are wayyyyy too big in size.
To think Torchlight is under 600mb for the PC, makes you wonder how a racing game for a phone could be 1.3gb. - ouch.
i don't think the price of an app is an excuse for poor coding - the game shouldn't have been released yet, not in its current state.
I've heard the SGS3 also has framerate issues with this game (just not and severe as most of GL games for Tegra3 devices) and that's operating on a year old GPU, so it shouldn't have optimisation issues - but even here, it does.
But, HOPEFULLY - they will release a fix soon, and not wait a month like they did for batman on Tegra 3.
Sadly, gameloft ain't like madfinger who will respond to you quickly and issue a fix quickly if it's their problem.

Yeah,unfortunaly i've sent an email to them regarding the accelerometer problems,sayd they will investigate the problem,but so far,nothing...i am not an expert programmer,i understand some codes,but i mean,how hard can an accelerometer problem be to solve it?
Luckly that i've got used with the touchscreen "virtual buttons",otherwise i wouldn't played this game.
As for the size of them,i maybe saying something stupid....but...aren't the guys at gameloft using Unity to make the graphics like the guys who made Dead Trigger?I tried like 1 or 2 years ago Unity and the graphics made with that program always use to much space.
Reached championship 9 so far .

Yeah, I think android police agreed with most of us.
Hopefully, gameloft will take note with some bad publicity & make a quick fix.
It definitely seems to be affecting all android devices.
Gameloft should definitely come with a disclaimer warning that it is optimized for iOS only.

Graphics And Performance
Even with the above foibles, Asphalt 7 could be a good game. The deal breaker for me is the overwhelming mediocrity of the graphics. Judging from the screenshots on the Play Store page, this should be a gorgeous game. Instead, it's just average. Even then, only on some devices. On the Nexus 7 the texture resolution is absolutely terrible. Everything in the environment looks muddy. The cars aren't bad, but there is noticeable aliasing along the edges.
I also looked at things on the Galaxy Nexus, and the textures were a little better. I was still not impressed with the overall fuzziness of the roads and buildings, though. The jaggies are not as prevalent here, possibly because the screen is smaller, and I can't see them as well. For whatever reason, performance is questionable on both devices. Both will get a spot of lag from time to time, and the Nexus 7 seems to have a lower frame rate The brightness also looks too high, making the game oddly washed-out. There are a few places that I could barely see where I was going because the gentle blue track markers blended in too well with the background. Turning my device's brightness down did nothing to fix this. I could also see distant objects drawing as I rocketed along. That should not happen on any modern device.
For 1.4GB of game data, I expected stunning graphics. I really feel like some of the smaller Need For Speed games look better than this. Asphalt 7 is not ugly, but it's just not pretty like the screenshots would lead you to believe.
Conclusion
On the surface, Asphalt 7 is a fine game. The controls are solid, and there are plenty of tracks and race types. I can even deal with the in-app purchases because they don't seem exploitative. This is essentially a $7 game that you can have for $0.99, so dropping a few dollars on better cars seems alright. The learning curve is steep, but not to a fault However, the requirement that you have internet access is beyond ridiculous. Things fall apart for me when it comes to visuals and performance. I'm just disappointed in how this game runs on the Nexus 7, and it's not terribly good on the Galaxy Nexus. Lag, low frame rates, and blurry graphics are not what I expect out of 1.4GB of game data. If this game was free, I'd definitely suggest you pick it up to try. As it stands, you could spend $0.99 if you like Asphalt racing games, but there's just nothing that special here.

Great. I'm only a couple hours into FFIII lol..

It's NOTHING like the quality you get in FFIII, Square Enix basically ported it over and added touch controls, it does not have updated graphics, but thats fine as its a classic, that doesnt bother me much
But the on screen controls are garbage and it doesnt scale to fit the whole screen, no wonder they arent charging as much for it

Sadly, I've heard that's one of the biggest complaints =/ would much rather play on an emulator, since those scale properly.
Still waiting for FFVI (American FFIII) to be released. Have that game on every platform it's been released. And really surprised they haven't ported over their biggest cash cow, FF7, yet.

I would buy it (again) but until then, grab psx4droid and emulate it. Worked flawlessly on every device I've used.

[doubt] gameloft games slow ...

Is there anyone having the same problem as me? The new gameloft games like spiderman, batman, asphalt are slow to 7 htc one x, I tried with the new kernel faux promises an improvement in the games but still slows down. And the other games are normal, these three are happening ONLY this.

You need the Faux kernel AND the Gaming Boost app.

no it does not, its just gameloft don't support tegra 3 yet, but after nexus 7 was released gameloft announced that its going optimize games for tegra 3. we just need to wait. so my advice to you don't buy any Gameloft games its extremely laggy and anyone who says it isn't he is stupid. Even with custom kernels and Game boost app its still sucks, i have tried them.

Ah I get it now thanks for clearing it.
Although I would have thought a tegra device would be supported more quickly.

Yeah... you'd assume that a company like GL would optimize for the most powerful hardware on the market... apparently not!
Regardless, I find Batman to be ok generally, bit laggy after prolonged sessions, havent touched Spider-Man as I've only heard bad things, messed about with Asphalt 7 and so far it's just the FPS that dips and gets laggy so I'm not too fussed about that, don't play it much.

The only game that support Tegra is batman, the only game with no polygon clipping issues
Nova3 is still not officially released and all the other games are running like a joke
Batman is ok on stock but with faux and gaming boost its supers smooth while spiderman a mess no matter what you do
the situation is the same on the Nexus 7
finally One X firmware 1.29 is known to have a serious issues with games' CPU scaling, which will be solved mid august when HTC releases the 2.x update
But yea Gameloft....is so far anti tegra

It's a shame really... I personally think Spider-Man was a rush job, no doubt about it, Batman had the bigger budget as the only official game for the movie so they made damn sure it was T3 optimised, still has hiccups but updates can rectify that.
Nova3 is a joke, unless you want to r00t, flash and customize stay well away!

very easy to judge this whole thing with batman
batman has all the effects runs better than iDevices and old SGS2, only SGS3 beats it and NO POLYGON CLIPPING ISSUES, the difference between v1.05 and 1.06 was massive
how do you expect a game to run well when you actually see visible polygon clipping bugs
