I wanted to ask fellow US SGS3 owners about gaming. I came from an international HTC One X where games were effortless but I just loaded NoVa 3 (which i paid for) and its a total lag fest. Can the Adreno 225 GPU handle current high end games or am I out of luck?
please share experiences or if the game is to blame because im discouraged
. thanks

Not sure about Nova3, but I play sentinel 3 with the HD pack and its totally smooth. Maybe nova is more motion intensive but sentinel 3 has a lot going on and never seems to lag at all.
I came from a galaxy note and i can tell you this plays games smoother than the Note. Dead Trigger, shadowgun, real racing 2 and modern combat 3 are all smooth as silk

my apologies. i realized that i had power savings turned on in the notification tray that scales down the cpu making it lag. now it plays much better (occational stutter in nova 3) but The Dark Knight Rises plays great.

Now that I have seen the pics the graphics look a little lower, but it doesn't bother me. It plays smooth. I won't trade smoothness for better graphics.

I have not really had a problem with the high-end games. Good luck.
I'm not worried about performance, I'm worried about heat. I want to hook my phone up to my TV, Bluetooth a controller to it, and play ff3 and ff1 on it that way. Would my phone melt in the process? I know with Bluetooth going, and the phone being charging through the mhl adapter, I'm scared of ruining my phone. Any feedback I would greatly appreciate it.

Mine gets warm doing the exact same thing but nothing more.
So nothing that will hurt the phone?

I just dunk mine under water when it gets a little too hot. But only 1" of water! Any more than that could be dangerous.

Make sure you lay the phone face down so the camera is facing up too. The heat disperses quicker through the speaker grill.

It runs smoothly with all the effects like the particles falling from sky...etc on my Galaxy S2.

I'm not having any issues with lag either. I play Dead Trigger and Shadowgun with the graphics on high. Gotta love the gameklip + ps3 controller! :thumbup:

I've been having lag issues with intense graphical games like NOVA 3, which I thought was strange since it ran on my SII so smoothly. I've finally gotten it stomped out, I installed KT747 kernel and played around, finally got smooth performance by switching the governor. I personally use abyssplug/bfq. Gaming is now liquid smooth, even when underclocked to 1350. Try it out folks.

Is anyone else having graphics problems with this phone while trying to play simple, 2d games, such as Doodle Jump? The Sprint version handled it flawlessly but this Tmo version can't even display the home screen without noticeable distortion.

No, i'm talking about the actual game graphics being distorted. I wish I still had my Sprint GS2 so that I could take a picture of the difference in definition. It's hard to describe but easily discernable when the two phones are placed next to the other. It's very bizarre actually.
Weird, I haven't had any trouble playing any games, both 2d and 3d.
Dead space and battlefield play great and smooth, as does squibble and copter 3d.
I'll get doodle jump just to see how it plays and report back

Haha, yeah I've been waiting for this game to get ported for a while now. There's still a few more that I hope to see. I hate hearing the whole "play me at this game" ... searching... searching... Android doesn't have it. "Guess you should have got an iPhone" argument. Despite some of the crappy reviews I'm seeing, it's playing damn smooth for me. And you can't beat free with no ads (yet?)

That's about the only thing apple has over Android..the vast selection of quality games. We're starting to slowly get em but it's undeniable the games are lacking on. Android. I'd love to play gta 3 and ufc on my gs2's larger screen oppose to tiny iPod touch.

I've been counting down the days for this to come out. I've been playing it lately on my old iPad, but the tilting it around just sucks (especially with that slippery aluminium backing!)
I teetered just shy of a million points on the iOS version, now I need to prove to my friend the tilting is what was holding me back.
I've since put my iPad away since I can rock it on my Android devices!
Drool....DROOOL!!!!!

This game is as awesome as it looks, looks even better on my GS2 , quick question though, for some reason when I'm on games if I don't touch the screen it auto locks as if the app isn't running, some apps like benchmark apps it doesn't do this but games like temple run and nfs it does, any reason why and maybe a solution? Thanks.

Idk, the new games on phones I just don't like, I have really bad eye sight so staring at a tiny screen for too long makes me feel like I have a migraine times 100. I tried a few of the more hard core games but I wasn't impressed mainly because the games over all weren't that great. I have a 360, a nice PC, ill play on those. I wouldn't mind a DS port onto the Ion some of those games are ok, Broni? what......Ignore all this.......
Who actually pays for those 10$ games they have that are like FPS games? Are they worth the money? (anything over 2$ for a phone game is out outrageous in my opinion but IK the Devs of the games go through a lot to make them so hats off to them.)
Riptide GP and Asphalt 6 and 7 play nicely on the ion. No water splash and motion blur effect but it feels smoother than even my nexus 7.

I like to play some n64 games with my phone docked on n64oid, I still play Cytus, have had GTA3 for ages but have never really played it.
I can't play through the HDMI, I get lag through the PS3 Sixaxis controller using Sixaxis and have never ever been able to fix it.
Dont you hate it when you buy an app or game thats like 3 bucks even 99cent ones whatever and your playing so good and youve gotten so far and 10 days later lets say your midway through completing the game and all of a sudden when you start level 6 stage 3 the gameplay gets laggy? So you restart your device or use task killers thinking you just need a refresh but when you load up the same level you get the same exact results. That bugs me. You cant even finish the game.
I've never bought a game for any of my Android devices because I don't find Android games very fun. I did beat all the Angry Birds and Bad Piggies, but they were all free. I've never had lag with this phone for any of those games.
