Gaming With S4?

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.

I was thinking the same thing. Even the one with dunking it in water. Always a couple of people that are going to troll. Kind of funny though.

C'mon - learn the difference between a troll and a obvious joke.

Lol I kind of figured. Just want to make sure I wouldn't destroy my phone by having so many connections going to it at one time

I dont how your experiencing lags in NOVA 3 on a S3.
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.

Most of you are very familiar with these games, the reason of this forum is too share new or any interesting games you have been playing or discovered lately :thumbup:

I tried to find some decent reviews of Need For Speed: Most Wanted - they seemed to mostly say that the game looks neat but it's boring to play? I hate that you have only 15 minutes to decide whether to get a refund or not. The trial period needs to be longer, particularly if it's a game that has to download additional content before it's ready to play. I don't want to pay $6 if I have only a few minutes to decide if I like the game enough to keep it.
Triple Town is kinda fun. I like playing chess with my co-workers using "Chess Time". I got Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit when it was cheap, it's decent, but no "in car" view practically ruins it for me. No first self-respecting car driving game should be released without at least some type of in car view. My kids like "Where's My Water" and "Flick Soccer" by Full Fat.

Sorry, but, any game with "pay to cheat" ("micro transactions") is GARBAGE!
The game looks kind of neat, and the interface seems decent for a phone without a d-pad + buttons (such as the Sony X-peria phones), but I'm sorry, if you PAY for an app you should not be insulted with in-game purchases!
If you want to sell a game at a reduced price (or free) and limit what levels you can play, or how long you can use it before you have to upgrade to the full version, I guess that is legit but not BS like offering to "sell" customers more lives or better weapons. That is more offensive than a slap to the face, it pisses me off. $#@(&*! F#@KING go out of business to all you scumbag corporations that pull that crap!

Pinball Arcade is absolutely superlative for a pinball fan. Last update made it sporadically choppy and sticky left flippers but I'm sure this will be fixed. I like Air Attack HD. Blast Monkeys and Shortyz Crossword. I was looking for Zen Pinball THD but it said it was device incompatible, what's that all about?

Just chearping my beak about games and apps.

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.

Asphalt 7 works great for me. So does Mass Effect Infiltrator, Dead Trigger, Brothers in Arms, anything compatible really. Never suffer from lag.

some of those games look good ill have to try em out, but yea one of the games was sentinel i could easily replicate the problem, few other games as well, it happened to me on a Samsung conquer and a epic touch 4g handset.
Asphalt 7 is a cool one i have it too. So is need for speed hot pursuit.

I was reading one of the threads in the theming section and figures I'd post this. If you do play games, what consoles do you have and what's you /psn Id/ gamertag/ etc and what games
Ps3:JehC92: battlefield 3 , shift 2, modnationracers. Borderlands, and mgs4. I lost about 10 games when I didn't renew my PS+ membership.
PC: league of legends: bulletphun. Steam: nickbarton92, tf2, age of empires online.

Steam: leadpois0ning or leadp0isoning (lol don't remember, my steam avatar is the same as my xda avatar) I have crysis, crysis warhead, far cry 2, gmod and bo2
EDIT: its leadpois0ning

I don't play often, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis...I mean I play CoD:MW2, BO1, and MW3 on Xbox360. Gamer Tag: ThePhantom1997 I think, I will verify later...lol. However switching from PC to Console sucks for me, I really suck at Multi-Player so if you add me don't make fun of me!

I use the 360. I like all the fps but stick mostly to bo2. I suck at it as well but love to play. Even better now that my son plays w me. SuFuS01dier

I haven't really had the time to play after I finished college. However, right now I am rocking the Wii - Zelda Skyward Sword and N64 - Goldeneye. Command and Conquer - Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge was my go to back in the day...I even still have an account and will occasionaly go online.

I am SideFX on steam but my profile seems kind of wonky.

My profile name on Steam (if I remember correctly) is SmugAardvark. On XBL, it's JogCon.
I'm not playing on either all that often, but when I am, it's usually either a Portal, Forza, or CoD game.

I play ravensword 2 and the room... looks better than most games on ps3 and runs smooth as butter. I have the thermal throttling off but it never slowed down either of those games anyway although after an hour or 2 on ravensword the phone gets warm but ive never recieved any errors. There is no doubt, as far as gaming this is THE phone to have hands down...

I play at work when I get tired of working(hope no one from is on here). Yesterday I played for about 6 hours straight or more, so I could try and beat dead trigger and beach buggy blitz. My phone did get warm but that's about it. I did all this while playing music with the xperia z walkman app.

Not to get this off subject, but where did u get the walkman app at? Back on topic, i play nova 3 and it sucks the battery pretty quick and gets quite warm, but its awesome on this hd screen. Tried the s4 and the htc one, and this phone tops them all hands down.
