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'd be in heaven if they released FF7. I remember beating that game in every aspect possible. Man, that game was so epic..

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

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] Sprinkle Game by Mediocre

How many of you guys are going to start playing this game once it comes out on August 5th?
In my personal opinion, the name is kind of stupid but from watching the video below it looks like is going to be a HUGE hit!!

It's only available for nvidia tegra devices
Get Chainfire3D from market, instal the driver, and get tegra plugin for it. use the "fix market settings" to get acces to all the tegra games on market, then when you have the game, go to chainfire, and enable the tegra driver for the app that needs it, and you should be runing it just fine.. some OC might be needed for older phones.
since this is in evo4g...should run just fine.
Runs fine on desire Z whit 1.1Ghz OC

I had heard of Chainfire3D, but I hadn't heard much about its stability with the EVO 4g. The EVO wasn't listed amongst the supported devices, and comments from EVO users, although positive, were in the minority. Has anyone heard more about Chainfire3D specifically with this phone?

All I'm worried about is that the next gen games won't work well with the Galaxy Nexus. These games look great, but with Apple and other companies (e.g Samsung) pushing mobile gaming, and the new mobile GPU's that are coming out, ours is already obsoleted and probably won't be good enough to play a lot of games in the future

From what I've seen, gaming on the "higher end" phones simply just add useless eye candy and don't effect overall game play at all. I love eye candy, don't get me wrong, but I don't fear that we'll be left out in the cold.
With Quad-Core not even out yet, I don't think we'll be seeing anything that requires a "Quad-Core or higher" for a long time.
I also just noticed how the software buttons rotate depending on orientation. Life's simple joy!
Forgive me for not being so knowledgeable on technology, but I would be mistaken in thinking that even if Quad-Core is released, most phones won't even be able to utilise it properly for a good year or two? And by the time they are put to good use, all our Galaxy Nexus contracts will be up and we'll be eligible for an upgrade and we'll be hopping on the newest Nexus?
So quad-core doesn't even matter for a while even if they are being released next year?
Back on topic the phone looks insanely smooth, even when you had all them games open it was silky! I'm loving it a lot, getting it tomorrow
could you test the kairosoft games? like game dev story and the others?
on honeycomb if you used mulittouch zooming all their apps crashed. kinda worried it may be the same with the GNex.
The screen is good but until the games are updated 'proper' we will not know how good performance can really be.
The screen is really good.
I read on another thread that Gameloft games will not work on the Nexus, is that true?

Exactly my thoughts. For example on mine Plants v. Zombies looks great and works great for a few minutes, then freezes when under heavy load (i.e. "Final Wave" pushes). It can't be the GPU or memory issues because other (just as graphically heavy- if not more so) games (like Tiki Golf 2) are perfect.
I just want to clarify how good that first game is?

just snapped it from the play store for 99c. will be shooting me some zombies later tonight after work/gym. quite a small download too @ 100MB considering the graphics!
The graphics are pretty damn amazing. Great gameplay as well
Yep, graphics are pretty amazing. Looks heaps better than on non-tegra 3 devices and iOS.
Gameplay seems fun as well. Controls are a little dodgy sometimes, but I guess you just need to get used to it.
Will test it further later on, at work right now, but I think its worth noticing that the heat generation with this game doesnt seem that bad like with other games.
Its awesome ..! I just drained my battery out completely ..
How is the game play?
Is it laggy at all? Unresponsive or anything else etc?

Yeah, there is the option of in-app purchases, but you can buy weapons which you unlock while u progress with earned ingame money. In-App purchases are not needed, it just makes it easier for you to advance.
This is a great game and a must buy for all HOX owners. For 75p/99c it's a no brainer. On this new baseband/firmware it run's silky smooth and the phone doesn't heat up a silly amount either. Great purchase.

Well, it does heat up, but not as excessive as with alot other games. I reached 41 degrees tops, whereas other games may reach 45-46 even, like Dark Meadow.
It still is very playable, means: No throttling due to much heat, no unpleasant feel to the touch while gaming

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.

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.
