Best Game to show off the phone?

Normally i use quake3droid at max settings (2048x1024 (i probably got the res wrong) etc) or i use a 3d game such as Guerrilla bob. What do you normally use? What game really shows the power of this phone?

Modern combat is a good one. Lags a bit in the menus but the graphics are absolutely stunning

modern combat or modern combat 2?

modern combat didnt work for me, HD versions anyway

Modern combat 2 I paid for it in the premium game hub...... awesome fps also Nova is another good one

any more? maybe graphics apps?
I presume the true power of the gpu will never be had, as from what I read drivers are poxy and have to use chainfire to sit in the middle to run stuff.
Do you think it will ever run true???

I dunno about using "the power of the phone" but Samurai Vengance II looks nice on the SGS2. Dungeon Defenders would be another good choice if it actually worked.

Angry Bots!!!
Try Angry Bots!!
its only a tech demo right now but it looooks super sweet

Samurai II : Vengeance
N.O.V.A. II
Dungeon Hunter 2
Basically any/most Gameloft games look great!

Zorro: Shadow of Vengeance looks good too.

How are you guys buying nova 2? I have tried the market, Chainfire 3d, and the Gameloft site. None show it available for sale. Am I using Chainfire wrong or something? Not really looking to pirate anything.

Online one correct answer here and phunkycow got it:
Riptide GP

As already stated Gameloft make some nice looking games. My personal faves are:
Galaxy on Fire 2 - Tegra 2 version using Chainfire (sad we need to use Chainfire)
Order & Chaos
Dungeon Defenders
A little off topic - It's pretty sad we so much fragmentation in the Android gaming space with developers signing deals with phone makers/chipsets. Thankfully, we have guys like Chainfire but I can see why Apple mobile gaming may be the future.

Gameloft released a version of Nova 2 which doesn't need Chainfire 3D.
Go to the gameloft site from your mobile - it should be there.

It's not showing on my market, is it region specific or something?
Also can I use it on my phone, not sure if I have tegra or not.
Thanks
edit: Well I don't have tegra in my phone, so can't play riptide, this is a joke. As if Android needs any more fragmentation.....

Managed to do some reading and installed chainfire 3d and the nvidia plugin.
Played riptide and samurai 2, while they are both very different graphical styles I'd have to say samurai looks better in my opinion.
Both lovely looking games though.

my small test is the best graphically looking on android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164111

Well I'd say either riptide gp or dungeon defenders.
Nova 2 looks great as well.

Dead Space!!! Chainfire3D/Qualcomm plugin look awesome!!!

Bang bang racing ... Chainfire 3D?

Bang bang racing looks visually impressive maybe too much for the xperia play to run?
From what ive read if youve rooted your phone installed chainfire 3d and then installed the nvidia tegra2 drivers the play can run SOME tegra 2 games?
I was just wondering if anyone who knows what there doing has got bang bang racing running on there xperia play before i spend the next few hours messing up my phone trying
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

I can't attest to how well the XPlay will run Bang Bang Racing, but Chainfire3D will definitely run Tegra games. Follow these instructions:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/25/how-to-install-and-use-chainfire3d-on-samsung-galaxy-s2/
They're for the Galaxy S2, but it's the same process. It works.

Nice one for that i will try and get chainfire up and running on my play. I thought the galaxy s2 had a tegra 2 chipset anyway what do u need chainfire for?

Galaxy S2 does not have at tegra 2 chipset. It has a better gpu than the current tegra 2 chips.

The Mali-400 GPU in the GS2 is only better, as it's a newer generation of chip. Once Nvida release the Tega III in a couple of months, it will be pretty outdated

Ps2 emulator

Okay.. I have a dumb question, I think.
But would a ps2 emulator be possible to have on our phones? I've been really craving some final fantasy X lately, lol
And if not could you explain to me why? I meam, we can run games like riptide and dead trigger and whatnot perfectly, so a simple lower graphics game would be do- able, right?

Would love to see this, just for final fantasy x. Though its far more likely that in the future it will get ported as an app. Wish sqare enix would stop re-re-re-re releasing final fantasy 7 on platforms that already (though unofficially) had it for years. Stop with the final fantasy 1 2 and 3 and get to the more popular 7 x and x-2. Its clearly possible since gta3 was ported over, plus they would make far more money

The dev has updated it quite a bit lately with opengl and Mali 400 support... I don't use the opengl though... if I remember correctly I ticked the dynamic interpreter in settings when playing ff7, if you Google there's an fpse forum and I know the optimal settings are probably there as well

I don't think a phone has the power to run a PS2 game yet but pcsx2 started ten years ago.....how powerful was a PC then?
If someone started making one know it would-
Probably be fully functional in a few years when a phone is powerful enough (technology is moving faster than ever before)
Maybe there architecture is similar than what we think
I believe PS2 is Linux based and you can run Ubuntu and Debian alongside your phone is
Prove that it can be done (if you don't mind 1fps)

I have a Toshiba Qosmio laptop with a dual-core i-5 processor, 4 gigs of RAM, and a dedicated video card. It can run most modern games at 30 frames or so on med settings.
With that said, my laptop still chugs at 15 FPS or so trying to run games on a PS2 emulator. Do you really think a phone is going to be able to run it?

I don't expect a phone to run it now but would it hurt to start on it now with the way technology has started moving we could have a powerful enough CPU in a year of course it could still be 10years off too
They started making the PS2 emulator 10 years ago and most PCs still can't run the games so I doubt any could then but they still did it
And it all isn't about clock speed when your using an emulator its more about CPU structure and if I'm not mistaken the PS2 and arm CPUs are more similar to each other than the x64 system is to either one (x64 and 86 are on an island by themselves I don't know of any CPU that emulate them effectively or that they emulate effectively) so why does everybody compare there PC CPUs when there is handheld game systems that can emulate it why don't we compare those?

Ill throw in a little more here. The EMU's for PS2 on PC where never done right and that is why they are kinda crappy. But if someone was to bake a PS2 EMU from scratch on the ARM processor I am betting it'll be smoother. Once major reason is the AMDX86(64-bit) instructions are so convoluted and screwed up that "extra" code was written on the side to perform standard everyday tasks better(MMX, SSE#, and so forth)
With ARM the instructions are all set for general purpose and can easily manage heavier data rates then a X86 processor. The only reason X86 processors seem better is the speed at which they run. Want proof, find a CPU threshold app on the internet that will let you set the CPU speed and back it down to 1.2ghz and see how fast windows runs then. You would be amazed at the slowness that incurs LOL
all I'm saying is that hertz per hertz ARM CPU's can accomplish more than a X86 CPU can. Think of ARM as AMD was to Intel all those years ago when they changed up the architecture and blew the doors off of any Intel CPU out there. What did Intel do to battle this... Take an older CPU and revamp it to come up with a better design. I'm not saying ARM is doing that because clearly they are not, what I am saying is that ARM CPU's are more capable than X86 and it's just not me saying this even Microsoft is taking notice.
So back to the gusto, I seriously believe that a ground up built EMU for the PS2 would be way more capable than the X86 version(period)

What is the best ps1 emulator? Paid or free..... Preferably free though..... I really wanna play some digimon world 2/3........ also best places to download games such as digimon stuff.... Yes im a nerd.. Idc, digimon is the shiz!

Nice piece, although I would consider the Madfinger games in the list, specifically Dead Trigger. Aside from having outstanding graphics and being free, if you have an OTG adapter and plug in a PS3 gamepad, it feels like a transformed game.
In my opinion, this game is the closest to offering a console-style experience so far with a gamepad, as the controls are incredibly tight. Try it with a controller if you are able!

Madfinger game are awesome and will make my follow up. Here's why I didn't add dead trigger. It is fun but pretty mindless game play and we despise games leveraged by in app purchases.

The android market desperately needs an adventure / RPG genre. So I think he's right in that for market categories it'd fall under action.
I like glwg too although the latest update made it unplayable on the n7. I might try gbwg. For arcade, I do like spirit xhd.
Plus, in all honesty, I think there needs to be a rating system other than opinions.
Order and chaos, while a fun game, is very slow at the point I'm at and is a little choppy for 1.5ghz and 484 GPU on a 15+ Mbit connection.
It should probably be rated based on gameplay, replay ability, game performance / app design, graphics, etc.

Don't bet your head on this one.The S2 plays Tegra 3 games(All I've tried and worked) without sweating too much without even the need to be overclocked.I don't see the reason why they would be hard to play for the S3.Games like NOVA 3 do tax the system too much.I think Gameloft's games aren't as well coded as Dead Trigger for example though.
Anyway,if you want to use the full power of the S3,wait some months until Gameloft releases a game with the Unity Engine they teased the other day.I think that will be worth talking about.
