Games that look great on the sgs3? - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Hey all,
Just wondering what games you've tried that really make the most of the gpu and 720p screen.
I'm not much of a gamer but I'm looking for any recommendations that will wow me, if you have any please?

NOVA3 and mass effect infiltrator are probably some of the best looking games on the market right now.
with chainfire sonic 4 episode 2 also runs fine and is a good looking game

Thanks. Nova 3 looks good. Mass effect isnt available for my devices apparently. Think its a country thing (UK).

N.O.V.A 3 its perfect, i love Shadow Gun, Real Racing 2 and Dungeon Hunter 3

it sucks i wanted to get NBA jam and play on my s3 and i went to the market and i can't download it for the S3 but I had it on my desire z BOOM SHAKA LAKA

Machinarium looks pretty good & is a bit different. As for looks, Modern Combat 3 gets my vote.

I vote for Shadow Gun

Max payne with at highest settings works well and looks amazing
edit: removed 3 from max payne which is for pc and consoles

Yeah, but on console or a PC there is no Max Payne 3 for android.

I tried shadow gun and it told me it was incompatible

Sorry my bad, Max Payne for android. I'm playing it on 360 as well so mixed it up

GTA III fully-maxed out, and be sure to turn off the Frame Limiter; the game will run at 60 FPS and look sharp! Seriously, it looks beautiful. Also, as mentioned, Shadowgun. And Max Payne, as compared to running on my Galaxy Nexus (which runs it only a little slower than the S3), does what looks like HDR lighting on the S3.

Saw somewhere renaissance blood for tegra 3. Anyone can find it on app store via SIII, i can't even with market unlocker.

Thanks for all the recommendations. What about Driving / Racing?

Asphalt 7 comes out very soon for Android. Can't wait for that.
Real Racing 2 works very well and gives you a Gran Turismo feel

I do love the GT feel!
Thanks

For some reason I can't dl max Payne or modern combat 3. With my first galaxy s3 it worked fine. But with this replacement s3 they say not compatible with device. Anyone else having this issue?

Plants vs Zombies from Amazon (official Popcap version) works great.

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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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.

Riptide.

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!!!

? Modern Combat 2 has been working for me for a while now. I'm on KM7 too. Although I did purchase mine from Gameloft.
Yeah modern combat 2 is officially released for the SGS2, available from gameloft or from Samsung game hub (only tried the demo but it worked fine).
dammit ._.
mine is always crashing when the first mission starts

Are you running the most updated version of Modern Combat 2? I think they might have updated it once or twice to accommodate new firmware on the SGS2 or something.
You can get Modern Combat 2 HD from the Android Market, its one of the few HD titles Gameloft has ported to the Market, and it works with the SGSII (its where I got mine from, only shows in the Market for compatible devices).
mine is v3.3.0

yep, same here, and of course I noticed after the 15 minutes refund period, so I guess we'll have to wait and see if someone can find a fix...

Uhm I don't play gta, how do you unlock the weapons? If by cash just hack the cash value, if unlocked by missions, try to see if there's a number representing each mission and you can modify which mission you're at. You also can hack health and stuff to make the game easier, this allows you to continue playing it without skipping levels etc

And you say "these days" as if it's recent but the notion of cheat codes has long passed and no modern games come out with them anymore.

Think we can spoof to say a Galaxy S4 so we can install so many games that otherwise will not install ?.

I purchased the Final Fantasy 4 remake last week right after I picked up the Note 3. I have been playing that almost nonstop. It is a really great port of the original. I also enjoy some space shooting action in Galaxy on Fire 2. Its freemium garbage, but if you don't mind mindless repetitive space battles, there is no need to give them money for credits. I cruise around from solar system to solar system decimating the space pirate population. I really get into it. I also have FPse and use that to emulate a lot of the old PS1 games, not the most graphically impressive, but great fun.
I just started Shadowrun Returns, and i'm not usually a big game player, but i'm loving it so far
Spectral Souls, addictive RPG game and well worth the money. Still haven't beaten it yet.
i love gameloft games, but have not played any yet on the n3
right now i am just playing Clash of Clans, Plants vs Zombies 2, and various emulators
