[Q] gameloft HD games, real HD? - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

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.

Best games for WM - DEATH RALLY

Hey guys.
Did you know that dos game called Death Rally?
I looked the entire web to find out if anyone has ported it to WM but didnt get much success.
Do you guys know something about it?
And by the way, which are the best WM games?
Jonathan
Dude, I hear you. Still have the dos version by any change, and willing to attach / upload somewhere? You'll make me a happy man.
game
pm me if you want that game! is it playable on touch hd?
Well, there is a Game called "Death Drive" for WM.
http://freewareppc.com/games/deathdrive.shtml
But I don't think you can play it on th HD, because it needs a keypad.
Xtrakt
The best Game for Touch HD is Xtrakt! A free 3D game made for the Xperia, but it works perfectly on the HD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497243
Azgard Defence is nice to but it's not for free.
I don't think a WM version of Death Rally exists, but you could try running it with an emulator. This way could work, if there wasn't the problem with the missing Dpad, and not to mention problems with the screen resolution.
Xtrakt & NFS Undercover (g-sensor version) are prob best games for HD.
Yeah I tried NFS Undercover (Gsensor enabled version) recently and I love it, it is simply the best game I ever played on my HD (including Xtract).

Guys, funny thing.
I simply love my HD, but I dont understand why there is so few cool games for it while for Iphone there thousands.
Well, in fact I understand: gotta be that apple store.
Hoping for things to change.
There is so much potential in THD..

I don't think this is the issue.
Iplay alot of games on my brothers Iphone that does not use multi-touch.
It is not fair that we don't have such cool games.
this is the only reason that I would want Ipod touch or an Iphone. (only for the games)
for the rest, I will stick to my HD
Well, due to the hardware differences, as well as some hardware manufacturers that I won't name (Qualcomm, oops i did) not opening their documents for developers.
Unless there is an optimised universal library for games, that runs the same on all hardware, (like Direct X), you won't see much games like you see on iphones, since apple have the same hardware on all their device.
hi!
can you plz pm me the link for nfs underground?

Do you think its a Windows Mobile issue or is it just the hardware of our HD's that doesn't support multi-touch?
I agree....NFS and Xtrakt are nice looking games, but they can't come close to the iPhone gaming experience. There is a huge difference between iPhone and our Touch HD's when it comes to game graphics and touch sensivity.

Go to the Gameloft website for Avatar from the mobile..........have wi-fi connected..........Will update the thread with vids of more 3d games....everyone do share vids
This is a really really good idea!
I just installed nfs:shift, and it's pretty enjoyable!
Its not under rated but the andriod platform it self has a very limited title for games compared to the iOS

I meant sarcasm. I honestly believe my galaxy s to be a graphically brilliant . I hope developers realise that and give us more games ....
secondly the songs name can be seen in videos detail ... or
Artist:Alexander Perls vs. Dave KurtisSong:"Starfire" (Long Edit)Album:Annex Trax Vol. 8Time:10:14Genreance & ElectronicLabel:Track One Recordings
BTW nfs shift is brilliant .... just bought the full version
Just installed a lag fix app on my stepdads Galaxy S and now its blazing fast.
Boots up Asphalt 5 much faster now, and no slowdowns in the game at all. ;D
Wish i could afford that phone too, but i gotta save up cash to replace my old notebook first.
Maybe when i can afford it Samsung may have finally released Froyo. xD

The iOS is a better gaming platform and hardware, I say this because theres only like 1 or 2 optmizations they need to do for a game to run compared to andriod 2.1 and 2.2 devices they need to make sure it runs on a few dozen.. like PC gaming xD

Galaxy S has better hardware than the iPhone 4. And don't forget that you need more power to render at 960x640 which is the iPhone 4 native resolution.
The problem is android only has like a dozen 3d games. iOS has a LOT more than that, hundreds of them?
When I go to the Gameloft website and try to download Avatar, I get the following error:
Sorry. The game you selected will be available for your phone and carrier soon. Please check again later for availability.
This can't be right...what am I missing?
EDIT: Nvm, got this working!

Actual games on Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys, do you know if actual games (developer for Galaxy SII, Optimus 2X... at 800x480 pixel resolution) will be run at the original resolution upscaled to 1280x720px (so the power of the GPU is ok, because it elaborate the game at 800x480 res) or they (the games) will be run at full 1280x720px because to vettorial graphics (in this case the SGX540 is not so powerful...) ??
Thanks
(and excuseme for my extremely poor english)
I think that will be different on different games.For example i dont think that gameloft will scale their games to 720p but games like riptide gp are allready availebel in such resolutions.
Probably be months til Gameloft supports the Nexus Prime. The Transformer is one of the best Android tablets on the market and one of the best selling, and it still isn't supported, even after 5 months -.-
Hopefully SG2 games work on this bad boy.

Games from SGS(1) should work on this thing mainly.The GPU is the same, but the CPU is OMAP, so maybe games that work on Moto should work too.
I copied over my apk (TB restore) of Assassins Creed as well as MC3 (MC3 i had to redownload as I believe they actually download different apk depending on which device you have). THey both work wonderfully (although at first it was getting screwy and i had to clear data and cache including the stuff in the sdcard and redownload all the files). Not sure if i *had* to, but just to be safe, I did it anyways.
Anyways, it scales to full screen, although im thoroughly unimpressed by the graphics, and it shows even more on a 720p screen (that is; how unimpressive the graphics is). But I suppose it'll be a ffew months before games that look amazing in 720p will come out.
any game that has HD supports this phone like air attack 2 HD awesome graphics

[Q] The best high-end game?

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 ???

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

I think it means that if it's optimized for the Nexus 7, which is a Tegra 3 device, it's also optimized for our HOX.

That's just crazy, you think Gameloft would want to sort its games out so they work properly on the flagship device of one of the world's biggest phone manufacturers, not to mention the official google tablet uses the same processor.

Well yea you'd think so... Gamelofts version of optimising for nexus 7 means allowing it to run it. It's not optimised at all. For example, there was a hox version of modern combat 3, which ran beautifully. Nexus 7 play store downloads a version that runs like a really quick slide show. nova 3 on the hox, the version I tried, had all effects like the iphone4 version. It did run like crap also. The nexus play store version runs similar, but doesn't have the smoke and lighting effects. Dark knight runs steppy, etc...etc... Hamdir is running a thread to make tegra games 60fps... This is a whole other issue, getting games above 30fps on a cutting edge chipset. Especially as I've seen my friend play nova 3 on his sensation at what I perceived as 60fps. It looked amazing!!

man again u r not being fair, I played on the sensation its 60fps with every effect disabled, n I mean dead flat no reflection on any surface
mass effect v1.30 on the hox had much less effect n ran over 60fps
also sgs3 runs nova3 at 60fps with everything on, ripetide runs very badly
effects on the hox for nova is a luck issue the game gets confused by the 3d dots menu and turns them on
with a custom kernel like faux004b6 nova3 runs very well
the gaming app, faux kernel and my guide proves there is nothing wrong with tegra its just software issues
all HTC has to do is include a performance profile

I believe I'm being pretty fair? Gameloft need to pull their finger it and get optimising for tegra. Whilst I get what youre doing on hox, and the need for performance profiles, the same issues with Gameloft games are present on the nexus 7, whikt tegra games are just smoother out of the box than hox was. Its gamelofts issues here, not tegra.

oh sorry i misunderstand
if you were attacking Gameloft, please be my guest, they shouldn't be doing games for mobile
2GB file sizes and their games still look outdated despite all the hype
meanwhile some levels in Dead trigger are simply ps3 quality @ 100MB! respect!
