Asphalt 7 +1

For a Racing Simulator type game Real Racing 2, for an Arcade racing game Asphalt 7. I can't think of any other decent racing games.

Not played it but heard Riptide GP is good, it's on motorboats though

Need for speed shift. Hands down

About a month or so just before I got my Nexus.....I was watching a bunch of youtube vids of unboxing and reviews on the N7. I cam across one that was from a game developer I believe. There were demoing a cool Tegra 3 game that looked like a awesome version of mario cart. I do not see it on the play store yet at all.
Does anyone know or recall seeing this game ad or demo? I do not recall the name of the game.

Nope...thats not the one I saw. The one I saw as a demo on the N7 review in youtube was very close to a mario cart layout. You would think it was the new version as it played just like mario cart did......same kind of tracks and had the little boost things on the track and I think it had the heat seeking missiles like mario cart. The graphics were really nice and the game played well from the demo.

Beach Buggy Blitz isn't even really a racing game since you can't place against the other drivers. Its more of a Temple Run style game where you try to get as far as you can. Got boring for me after 5 runs. It does look pretty though.
I like Asphalt 7, especially now that it works while away from wifi after the last update.

I agree
An online race mode would complete that game!

I'm gonna have to check out asphalt 7 and need for speed

Need for Speed Shift is grandpa old. Asphalt 7:Heat & Need for Speed:Hot Pursuit are "Hands down" the best racing games currently out there. Read the reviews.

I like Real Racing 2 since it's less "arcade" like.

It's because of the screen resolution. Are you on a ROM other than stock, if you are just turn on "full screen" to hide your navigation/status bar you can then download the data. If not you could always install it on a different device and transfer the data file to your N7 then launch the game with wifi turned off the first time.

i think is easier to ask and come up with a list of What Games Do Not Work with Galaxy Nexus?, than asking for what games do work, as it will be like 90% of games in the market and off the market
chances are many of the Gameloft 3D games that are Exynos / Hummingbird CPU based will not work on this phone
We generally have to assume Gameloft games WON'T work :-/
Asphalt 6 HD works great though, downloaded from the Market. Didn't work on my DHD...
N.O.V.A. 2 doesn't work.
Working:
Apparatus
Air Attack HD
Fruit Ninja
X construct
Dungeon Defenders Second Wave
Live Holdem Pro
Contract Killer
Sketchbook Mobile Express - (Sketchbook X doesn't register the Pentile screen inputs properly)
Has anybody tried NFS: Hot Persuit?
Personally I can confirm that the newest version of n64oid works perfectly well, I've been playing Star Wars: Racer and it's great

[GAMES] Nexus 7 Gaming Thread

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:

Compatible Emulators:
FPse for Android - PSX
N64oid - N64

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.

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:

Best games (or other apps) to show off Nexus 7?

Hello all,
what games (or other apps) would you recommend to show off the superb graphics and processor capabilities of the Nexus 7?
Is there anything that is optimized for the Nexus 7 screen and processors?
Thank you all for your suggestions!
Dead Trigger works very well for me. Puddle also works for the Tegra 3 optimization
here's the Free version thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811437
i've posted there already.
here's additional ones that are not free:
Asphalt 7
Samurai II: Vengeance
Riptide GP
Sprinkle
ShadowGun THD
World of Goo
Jelly Defense
REAL RACING 2 currently 99c! Definitely great game.
Here's another,
Dark meadow, point and click adventure
Take up about 1.37GB though

I think Riptide GP, a game with Tegra enhancements, is impressive and is easy to hand over to anyone and have them get into it right away.
For apps, I guess Google Earth would knock Grandma's socks off .
Cs portable and whale trail. These are not tegra optimized, but there is no doubt that they look great. I am addicted to cs portable and would love to know what drugs the devs of whale trail where on when they created that gane. Must of been shrooms or sumin.

Some advice from me would be to stay away from gameloft for now. They have a funny way of creating games. Dont get me wrong there games are great but there just not that good on our nexus 7. If you are gong to buy a gameloft game make sure you read the description to see if its tegra 3 optimized or any mention of the nexus 7. If not then dont buy the game. The only acception i can give you is modern combat 3 and nova 3. Nova 3 is a bit so so, while mc3 plays great.
Dont get asphalt 7 until you see a update in the play store. Right now it is on version 1.0.0. I have it myself and it is not optimized the way it should be (ie: bad graphics and low frame rate).
Just be careful as to what you buy as the nexus is new device and you can very easily be disapointed as many games need to b updted.

[Q] Any Good HD Games To Test ?

Is there any games that take full advantage of the 1920x1200 display ?

I've only played Modern Combat 4 so far. Looks pretty dang good!
Can someone please try Shadowgun Deadzone and see if it's smooth at 1080p?
I think Rockstar Games is having a few offers, can you try out Vice City or GTA III?
You may also try Virtua Tennis Challenge, cool game, it has a demo, not sure of the HD graphics though..

Why have you post here to General and not to Themes-APPS & GAMES, it would be more judicious
Beach buggy, then goto settings in the app and put it up to the highest graphical settings. Same with Dead Trigger, goto in game settings turn up graphics to high!
I've been playing Riptide GP2. I recommend it ?. I didn't even like the first one. Idk if its 1080 though, its like SSX/Jetmoto.
GTA 3 on max resolution and full graphics runs / looks amazing..

I didn't realize I couldn't upload a high res image, because it doesn't do justice to how good the game looks on this screen.
Dead Space runs full 1080p and looks friggin unreal! Some others would be GTAIII/VC, Max Payne, RipTide GP2, Asphalt 8. All of these look and play fantastically on the N7FHD. And Dead Trigger 2 is coming very soon!

Best game to try on the new nexus 7

Thanks

I don't know about the "best" game, but Riptide GP2 is fast and pretty.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I have a lot of games. It really just depends on what kind of games you like though, to say what would be best for you.
For racing games, Riptide GP2 is great ($2.99), Beach Buggy Blitz & Shine Runner (same dev as Riptide and free), Real Racing 3, Crazy Taxi, and Reckless Racing are all great games which play and look excellent in the N7 FHD. Hopefully Asphalt 7 and Need for Speed : Most Wanted will both become available on the N7 FHD before too much longer. The device just came out, and it takes the game devs a little while before adding a device to their compatibility list. Neither of those games were showing as compatible with my Asus Infinity for a while, even though the previous versions of both were. The Infinity was added to their compatibility list before too long, and both games are awesome on it!
For FPS/Call of Duty style games, Modern Combat 4 is absolutely incredible, Call of Duty : Black Ops Zombies, ShadowGun, and Dead Trigger are all awesome and a lot of fun!!!
Subway Surfers is also lots of fun! I actually prefer to play Subway Surfers on my N7 FHD instead of my Note 2, Evo LTE, or Asus Infinity! Just seems more fun on the 7" display than on any of other sizes! The N7 is truly an incredible device, and support for it will continue to grow larger over time! I'm looking forward to what the future holds for the N7 FHD!!
SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 2 using XDA Premium
I show off Samurai 2, cordy (1 and 2) Rayman, Crazy taxi, Zen Pinball, Or shadow gun. All look stunning.
beach buggy looks great but it lags when the resolution is maxed. Their is also slight stutters in riptide gp2 but rare. Anyone experienced this?

I see stuttering with Beach Buggy Blitz no matter the settings, see it in the original Riptide too. Oddly enough, never noticed it on the original Nexus 7.
It is a little disappointing. Thankfully, I am not a big gamer.

Nothing to be disappointed about. It is a me device and those games are not yet tweaked for it. That is partially why there is a new riptide.
I'm sure most of these games will play well on this device once adapted.
