So, as the title says, is it just me or are other people finding the thumbsticks weird too?
I find them to be really quite good for Order and Chaos, yet for quite a few onlive games (notably Dark Void and Kane & Lynch 2) they are really too sensitive? Changing the settings does quite little for this?
I don't know, maybe there's something I'm doing wrong or there's an app that's been created to control the sensitivity but if there is.. I haven't found it yet..
P.S. First post.. yay..!
Gratz on first post.
Some programmers just know how to program their games better for them,
Some are just weirdos though, In example, if you try Modern Combat 2, then Modern Combat 3, The analog controls in 2 are superior, Even though gameloft made them both -.-
mc3 is using the touchpad like a anoalogue stick where as mc2 is using it as 4 direction buttons
I dont feel like its an analog stick though.
Have to slide it over and over and over to turn around, I think its better to use it as 4 directionals with sensing how far along the pad you are for the speed.

Hopefully onlive pulls their trousers up and sorts it out as most games on there really just require the thumbsticks. I guess I'll just wait it out until someone makes a program to control how sensitive they are or until developers realise that making them super sensitive or really unresponsive is stupid! I don't think games on the xperia play are tested very well before being marketed...

Onlive isn't going to be great over a platform like a phone. They are the same games that are made for consoles or PC's then streamed over the net to your device. Expect alot of input lag on some games that require precision on the players side. It's not the developers it's the platform you have decided to play thier games on. It's not going to get any better unless bandwidth and throughput speed increase dramaticly or developers make games specificly for streaming over Onlive's service.
Actually.. Onlive has been doing a NICE job so far. I use it on my tablet it works great. However that said, I plan to buy the universal onlive controller so I can just BT use it on my android. Problem solved.

Figured since some of us already have their N7's and most will be receiving their toys in the next week, we can start discussing gaming!
Holding the tablet itself, i can tell this is going to be a comfortable gaming experience, i think the bezels are just right and the weight is great for extended holding periods.
What games are you planning on trying out first?
What are some games that you want to recommend?
What are some games that you are looking forward to?
We can also discuss game compatibility, game controller solutions (wireless and wired), and other :highfive:

I know the first game that I will be installing and playing is Dead Trigger. It's got zombies and stuff... 'nuff said.
I currently have FF3 on my I/O but will add ME;I & Shadowgun THD when I get my 16GB.
Watching them demo Horn during the keynote was very impressive. Unfortunately it's not currently available and I can't find any information as to when it will be

I came close to finishing it but restarted the game after I found a cheat for it. Now that I have unlimited money, it isn't as fun anymore. It didn't take long to get near the end.

I want FF3 so bad but can't justify the price.. yet! haha
I'm going to install 4 games first, in this order... GTA 3, Max Payne, Dead Trigger, and The Amazing Spiderman!
Horn, the game that was unveiled at the I/O looked so cool, really looking forward to that!
The very first thing i wanted to do when I got home with my Nexus 7 was download and play NOVA 3, and of course it crashes every time at startup. So disappointed. Knowing Gameloft it will be months before they make it Tegra 3 compatible.
dead trigger and heroes call, cant wait! got my wired 360 controller and a ps3 controller so i have choices.lol
GTA runs great compared to on my Gnex. Max Payne took awhile to download but runs great!
I want to test out a PSX emulator and an N64 emulator sometime tomorrow!

+1 on this. Cool thread. Can't wait to start trying some tegra 3 games. I'm into rpgs and fps. Been playing max Payne on my evo LTE and its damn good. Wanna try on n7. From past experience with xoom, fpse looks to pixelated on tablets but I'm sure ill try it. Runs great on my phone tho for both ff7 and ff9.

Just spent a few hours messing around with emulators, PSX and N64 run awesome, very smooth FPS.

N64oid and FPSE, I wish i had a Wii controller to use over bluetooth.
For FPSE i tested Diablo, THPS2, THPS4, Spiderman 2, Dave Mirra, Spyro, Tekken 3, and Gran Turismo 2 (crashed)
For N64oid i tested Starfox 64, Mario Kart 64, and Super Smash Bros.
Anyone know if there is a way of using a wireless Xbox 360 controller on the N7? I have the wireless receiver thing and I'd like to use my controller if I can, but I don't really want to buy a wired 360 controller just for my tablet when I already have wireless ones sitting here.
Are there any PS2 emulators out?

Yeah I didn't think so. Oh well, I'm quite happy playing Starfox 64 on this thing so that'll do for now
I wanted to buy Machinarium with the Google Play credit but it's not compatible with the N7 yet :/
Just paired my PS3 controller via Bluetooth through Sixaxis Controller. Works like a charm, i might put together a quick guide how to do it.
Made a custom mapping profile for GTA 3 and planning on making one for all major games specifically for the Nexus 7
I'll upload them here of course :good:
I'm curious if anyone has come across a decent gaming controller add-on for Android devices?

As I replied to you on AndroidForums, MOGA Pro Power is the way to go http://www.amazon.com/POWER-MOGA-Pro-Electronic-Games-Game/dp/B00FB5RBJM/
A double thank you good sir
Again looks awesome
if you already own a controller you can use something like this(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=284DnVEHwNE) or you can use an app to use your xbox controller whit it
I really like the Gametel, works great for emulators.
Anyone have any good suggestions on one of those new "Android Controllers" that you out your phone into and it'll work with certain games?
I recently downloaded Sonic, and have a big interest to playing it on my phone, as well as GTA, but I can't stand using my fingers on the screen, as its either too small of a screen for fat thumbs, or my finger dries up and it feels like it drags against the screen because of the heat.
One other thing is the compatibility. What games would and wouldn't work with the controller? Do I need an extra app for it to work? Ideally, I would love to download a psx emulator and play my FFVII again, since I doubt they will release it on mobile OS anytime soon.
And lastly, what about using my Xbox One controller? I won't go out to buy a ps3 or 360 controller, because then I might as well buy the ones they make for the phones.
Thank you in advance!

Moga Pro bro. I have one. Its all you need. Don't get the pocket - its too small IMO to feel like an actual controller.

Regarding certain apps, it is compatible with some actually. I'm not sure which Sonic game you're referring to. It its not compatible with Sonic Dash, but it does work with Sonic CD Lite, for example. I just know that because it is explicitly stated in the app's description. The best way to know which apps the Moga series (there's 4 out currently but the Moga Pro 1st generation is more than sufficient) work with is to read the description when you download the app usually.
There's also an app that the controller comes with, on a slip of paper basically, that you can download and it lists Moga compatible apps. I forgot the name of it but just search for Moga in the play store. I'm not sure how often its updated so I've personally never relied on it...
For emulators, I haven't came across any popular emulators that ISNT compatible with Moga, or any other Bluetooth controller. To use a PS3 controller, for example, you have to be rooted, which is one reason why I recommend sticking with a Moga Pro.
I currently play Power Stone Collection on PPSSPP flawlessly. It takes a bit of configuring to get the controller and button mappings to work depending on the emulator, but thats easily done with a bit of googling or youtubing. But yes, the Moga Pro is definitely compatible with psx emulators (especially the major 2, epsxe and the other one...)
Yeah, I recommend the Moga Pro simply from the standpoint that it is the most compatible with games. If a game supports any controller it's probably going to support the Moga. The Moga Pro Power is usually cheaper than the original Moga Pro since the original was discontinued.
http://www.amazon.com/POWER-MOGA-Pr...1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398434121&sr=8-1&keywords=moga
It has a better clip for the phone and a better d-pad, plus has a large rechargeable battery that can power your phone if you want. I don't use the charging capability but the extra weight from the battery gives it a better feel (less top heavy).
You can connect the Moga in a generic Bluetooth controller mode or the "Moga" mode. I honestly haven't found any games that support a controller but don't work in the Moga mode. Some more obscure emulators may require you to switch it to the generic mode and configure the buttons manually, but I haven't found any.
Whats the difference between the Hero and Pro version, and why is the Hero 40 bucks more expensive?

The diff is the battery capacity. Moga is THE controller lol. But I have the Kickstarter Drone Controller which I really like as well. I played with the Moga and that is the go to, but I am a casual gamer and after the impulse controller, I didn't expect much from the Drone, but I was surprisingly wrong lol.

The Hero is a smaller form factor. It drops the "handles" so that it can be tossed in a bag more easily.
The reason it's more expensive is that it's backordered from Amazon so you're seeing a third party seller who is ripping people off. If you order it from Amazon it's only $40.
I recommend the Moga Pro also... It works great with Dead Trigger 2, MC4, Dungeon Hunter 4... Download the Moga Pivot app to see exactly what games are compatible.

wroooong section!
I am a gamer and much active on gaming facts for android and also mods, as far as I know there is nothing such.
for pc yes! there are some
It would be way less effective anyway....chances are unless you were playing a very simple game you would struggle.
