OnLive available!

OnLive is preetty baller.
Premise: Cloud-compressed console games "streamed" to your tablet or PC. It's a cool idea, maybe a little ahead of its time if you have mediocre internet, but if you have 10mb/s down, you'll be surprised by just how well it works. I used it to play through Deus Ex: Human Rev. on my ancient Thinkpad, and it was thoroughly satisfactory.
The hook: if you download the app you get a full playpass for Lego Batman. HDMI-in to your HDTV, control it with a game controller...
The catch is, they never really have very good deals on games (you can expect to pay $50 for any game worth playing).

Just downloaded this to all of my android devices and my pc. Pretty neat! My connection is only 6mbs, but it worked very well on my pc and decent on my a100. The prices aren't anything special, but I don't think they necessarily have to be, since this is giving you the ability to play them on nearly any device you own. Would be nice if they eventually have sales on newer games. Good Deal though, I'll need to pick up a controller to experience it fully on my mobile devices.
Does anyone know if any other controllers will work on the pc version? I have a 360 controller and pc adapter that I haven't used in awhile that would be great to use if they work.

[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:

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.

Just spent a few hours messing around with emulators, PSX and N64 run awesome, very smooth FPS.

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:

GamePad Recommendation

I have a rooted GS3 running stock ROM, android v 4.1.1 and I'm looking for a gamepad for a long time.
The gamepad MUST be attachable to the phone in some way (for example the steelseries controller is just a controller, it can't attach to the phone).
I'm going to use it mostly for emulators, but it would be nice if it could play GTA3, #Sworcery, Another World and Bard's Tale (don't care too much if it doesn't).
I also want it to be compatible with a PC, and have 2 analog sticks.
The best one I could find is PhoneJoy, but I can't find where to buy/order one since the kickstarter ended.
I've also read very good stuff about the Gametel, but unfortunately it lacks analog sticks. I wouldn't mind too much, since the play station one doesn't really need analogs, but since I plan on using it on my pc also, most modern games use both analogs...
The one I wanted to buy is the Moga Pro, but the shipping to Europe is ridiculous (70$ for shipping and 50$ for the controller, more than the controller itself just to carry it on a damn plane!?). Also, it's not confirmed to work with a PC, and has some issues with non market games (my version of Another World and #Sworcery is from Humble Bundle, not Google Play)
My other option is to wait for Samsung's gamepad, after the launch of GS4, but it costs 110$, which may very well translate to 100€, an amount I consider not worth it for any kind of controller.
There is also the iPega controller, but I know it has issues, as well as lag, and other controllers that even though they are good, they have nothing to attach the phone to (steelseries free, evolution drone, Nyko Gamepad).
I also do not own a PS3 and don't want to buy a controller for 50€ and then pay another 40$ for the gameklip (cause of shipping costs).
Any ideas?
PS Sorry for no links, I can't, new user.

I use the Moga game pad (not the new pro gamer one) and its perfect for my needs. I use it with GBA,SNES,Genesis,Etc emulators.... it also works good with most other games I tried... but the unofficial moga universal driver is a must. Makes the G SIII a great hand held system. I got mine from amazon for about 30 dollars USD.

Just received the new MOGA Pro and as a previous user of the Moga Pocket I can say the PRO is awesome and way better! More like an xbox 360 controller with additional joystick...l2 r2 triggers....l3 r3 clickable joysticks...feels fantastic in hand...light. Has two modes A and B with B eliminating need for the Moga driver app to use for emulators. Best part is it is rechargeable!! The only Con is sticking it in my pocket lol...it is big. Hence why the older smaller controller is now called MOGA pocket.

Game Controller?

OK so looking to get real for some gaming. Some games just require a true controller to play it. With that said what is the controller to get out there?
Something easy, plug and play would be great. Wireless preferred but not needed. Ability to pick it up locally would be wonderful, as going on a trip soon.

MOGA is the most widely supported.
PS3 is my choice just because I like the 4 way pad for certain games. It requires root for the drivers to use wirelessly but is plug and play via cable.
The OUYA controller is also good. All can be purchased from GameStop.

Moga Pro, pick one up from best buy and take it on your trip. If you end up not liking it just return it.

Just got the Red Samurai from GameStop the other day as well I do have a PS3 controller as well.
Though really my question is which is better? Sort of torn on what to do. Never really understood how to effectively setup profiles on the PS3 controller which never seemed to work for half the games I tried it with. So maybe a my bad on that one. The Red Samurai seemed to work nice and quickly probably guess I need to test both of them out to see what is better.
Just curious to what people are using for gaming or the preferred controller since no matter what it seems like there is some tweaking involved with every one out there.
Oh and did try to see about the Moga Pro when I was in Best Buy the other day, didn't have one at all.

Whatever works. You can use key mappers to make more games work. No different for a PS3 gamepad. The MOGA just has "official" support for some games, which is a nice touch. The ingame menu's and stuff detect the Moga and change accordingly.
There might even be wrappers that allow you to make the tablet think it's connected to a Moga.
I know we do this on the Ouya where some games won't detect the Ouya controller, but we can plug in a USB device (keyboard/mouse/etc) and then it will detect the Ouya controller as a plain jane and start working. I know it's harder on a tab vs a dedicated gaming unit with a full USB port.

I would recommend nyko playpad pro just got them a week ago the controller itself supports many game from the play store without doing any modification all you need to do is pair it up with nexus 7. so far I've tried a neo geo emulator call tiger meme and the controller works flawlessly. the price is very reasonable compare to the steel free series, moga build quality seems decent. I got them for £26 in uk.

I use PS3 controllers with all of my Android devices. PS3 is my preferred controller layout anyway, so it works perfectly for me. To use it wireless, you'll need root and the Sixasis app from the Play Store. If you haven't rooted, you need to have it plugged in to an OTG cable. You can easily find one locally at Best Buy, BrandsMart, HH Greg, Walmart, and the list goes on, pretty much anywhere that sells electronics will have one. It will work with any game that has controller support. If the game doesn't natively support a controller, you can still use it by just making a custom game map for it. It's super easy and works flawlessly!

Original what? I'm assuming you mean the original controller that came with my PS3 console. If that's what you meant, then yes, one that I use came with my console while another one I use was purchased separately when the PS3 was first released. Both are authentic Sony. That's the most important thing to beware of when buying from eBay, especially from overseas sellers. I've seen a LOT of legit looking knock offs on there! Some don't even say that they aren't authentic Sony, but if it's coming from China, new in the box, and only $25, then you can bet it's a fake.
Don't know if the controller you linked will work or not. The description says that it isn't made by Sony, so it's really a 50/50 chance. Some have got knock off controllers to work, while others have had problems. The Sixaxis app states that third party controllers aren't supported, so they aren't guaranteed to work. Even if it does work initially, who knows how long it will last before breaking or dying. I personally wouldn't risk it. Just buy the real thing and be done with it. You know with an authentic Sony controller then it will last for many MANY years of normal usage. Actually, I've NEVER had an authentic Sony controller go bad! That's through the original PlayStation, PS2, and now PS3.

Is it actually worth using a ps3 controller to play games?

I will probably buy my self a ps3 controller, but i need to be sure that i will actually like it since i dont have a ps3... so do u guys think that it is actually worth 40 bucks to enjoy some games?
If yes, which color would u prefer for your controller?

I think it it worth it especially considering how many games can actually use it. You can use it with games like Dead Trigger, Asphalt 8, and FIFA 15 and many more. Also many emulators are compatible. Here is the one I would buy in my opinion.

It depends what kind of games you are playing. I've beaten a ton of RPGs on my phone using the touch screen and haven't had any problems. I definitely wouldn't want to play an action game using on-screen controls though.
