Evo as gaming device

I was curious as to how many are using their Evo as a gaming device as well as its other uses. I started off playing some of the simple arcade and puzzle style games but I have recently been playing a couple of fps games from gameloft and I realize that there is a lot of potential for the evo if the developers will continue with it.

I'm playing home run battle 3d and a couple of other games.

Yeah I have been playing quite a bit of old NES games with nesoid.

CM6 + wiimote + wii steering wheel + gps dash mount + dremel + gorilla glue = emulator fun. I have been mostly playing old SNES games, but I have a 40 minute bus ride to & from work so I have to kill the time somehow.

Until I saw the demo for NOVA and Sandstorm I never realized that 3d gaming had come so far for android. Those are the 2 main games that I am playing right now.

It's perfect for RPG's which is my favorite type of games. Play final fantasy tactics as we speak. I never owned a ps1 myself so theres a lot of rpg games for me to play.

Am I the only who likes Meteor Blitz? It's just about my favorite handheld game of all time! Like a Geometry Wars mobile.
PSXDroid is pretty nice. I continually encounter graphical glitches though, which is utterly annoying.
SandStorm is neat, Nova is a fun FPS as well. Pretty much most of Gamelofts releases are enjoyable. Well, minus Assassin's Creed.
There's a guy working on Starcraft for Android, but I think the projects gone dead in the water.
Finally, Quake III on Android. Or, Kwaak3
Also, this may not be the best place to post anything about iOS, because I know quick people can be to hate on the iPhone. But Steve Jobs aside, who else is impressed by Epic Game's Infinity Blade and Mutant Bash TV by Id running on the Rage iOS engine?
I'm totally floored by it to be honest. Had no idea a 1GHz processor with 512MB RAM could achieve graphics on this level.
It's only a matter of time before a company creates an engine like this for Android Devices. Development is either already in the works or right around the corner.
*Cough* PSP Phone *Cough*
The prospects are incredible! The only thing that bugs me is that I use to play my old GameBoys till the battery died when I was out and about. It will just really suck if I do the same with my EVO. That would put my day dead in the water if I didn't have a back up battery or wall outlet near by....

I am waiting patiently for oooecao to release their games!

Those iOS games are insane, I can't wait till we have them on Android. Epic has already demoed their Unreal Engine on Android so we will definitely have some sick games coming soon.
BTW, what ROM/theme are you running in the pic in your sig?

I know, they just need to come out with a decent controller for handheld devices. I almost want to go out and pick up a WiiMote just for my EVO. I have a PS3 controller but I've read that it will probably never happen because of technicalities with bluetooth between the two. I use my PS3 Controller to play Halo on my Netbook, so much fun! Makes airplane flights a breeze.
Just put a vice grip on a pad with a few buttons and put on a MicroUSB connector with an input on the pad for charging and call it done.
I keep reading about people whom have tested some of these Rage iOS games complaining that the controls blow. Especially Mutant Bash TV, it's tilt shift. I mean REALLY!? I tend to get p'd off at DoodleJump, let alone an FPS.
Stock ROM, unREVOked. Theme is custom.

Better off with a epic, you got the keyboard for controls and better GPU.
which is my problem... I don't use my phone for gaming, so it has no use for me lol

Lol, 4 of my friends recently jumped on to the Epic from TP2's (we all get the same phones, its kinda wierd) But i have an Evo. I play games on mine and its pretty good, but i tell them that games play better on the Epic due to the GPU/CPU and none of them play games, haha.

I got the usual great android games on plus, snesoid,nesoid,gensoid, psx4droid. The emulators are much better when rooted with a kernel that allows for better multi touch,(I'm currently on kings bfs11). I have hundreds games just between the emulators. I would consider psx4droid unplayable unless u had such a kernel. The biggest problem with playing the games is the lack of better multi touch, and thats y I will never b unrooted again.
Swyped from my Evo

they need to change up the controllers. Instead of using the forward, back, left, right motions on the screen, use the gyroscope to do those, and then in the left hand have the movement of the gun, and in the right hand, have the shooting or w/e.

Has anyone here tried Heavy Gunner?
I've been on a real gaming spree ever since I got the Evo!
Super K.O Boxing is really nice
SpeedX 3D is my favorite!
N.O.V.A was a b*t*h to get working, but it's by far the most graphically intense game.
Caligo Chaser is alright if you like more cartoony RPGs. The best part of the game is that when you adjust your gear it visually reflects on the character, lots of choices too!
Fruit Ninja is a fun, friendly style, potentially competitive style game
I just tried Meteor Blitz, thanks for the recommendation! I do wish the movement controls were less sensitive however.
Android is a fantastic platform for gaming, unfortunately it's not the only one and developers are limited

I tried a couple of the emulators but the game rom's I downloaded showed the game on a tiny screen and the controls did not work well at all. I guess I need to try some different games roms. Sandstorm is as graphically intensive as NOVA if not more so. I tried Avatar but the gameplay was a little confusing for me at times. Bottom line is that android is a great gaming platform and the Evo is a good hard device for gaming. I have a kindle and a zuneHD and was getting ready to get a psp. Now the Evo is truly an all in one device for me. It will do what all of those will do. Sure it uses a lot of battery but I would rather switch batteries during the day than to cary 3 or 4 devices and chargers when I travel.

MMORPG: Pocket Legends. That thang was just released today.

?
so why is it so hard to get Need for speed shift? why not in the market? why are there no good games in the market? on my old iphone i played many awesome games like nfsshift, street fighter 4, fifa soccer, chaos rings most of all Grand theft Auto chinatown wars. when i look in the market, there a bunch of crappy games, i mean common no words with friends or scrabble or bejeweled? my opinion, get a 64 gb ipod touch, you get your games and great music integration with itunes, plus 32gb extra possible storage. and its thin. i love my evo but no-matter what mods i do to it its not good at graphic intensive stuff, i cant even run the ocean waves wallpaper without it choppin like Jackie chan.
p.s. also looked for pocket legends, nothing in market for that either

Psx4Droid on Galaxy Tab

Ahhh.. I can't post up the link! Check it here:

And here's the Vid...!

Yes. I've tried it. It's very nice. Also, snesoid and gensoid are beautiful on the Tab.
So far though, I can't get the Wii controller to work. It would be nice if we can get an external controller to work (Like the N900).

Have you tried any other Psx4Droid games?

I've tried:
FF7. (Works, no problem)
FF8. (Works, sound glitches a bit, but otherwise no problem)
Tekken 2. (Very Slow)
Twisted Metal. (Crashes)
Street Fighter Alpha 3. (Works, a tad bit slow though)
Marvel vs Capcom (Works)
I wanna try Silent Hill and Resident Evil 3 when I get a chance. they should work.

How does FF8 work in the open world? I tried playing it on my droid 2 and it sucked...couldnt even move.

just to give more detail to the question: is the problem with some of the game related to PSx software or the phones power?
E.g., FF8 in the world is awful, but will that be fixed with the new Tegra2 tabs or is this something that needs to be optimized in the PSX emulator?

i WANT Bushido Blade on this device LOL

Gun Bros Not Too Smooth

I was just wondering if anyone has played this on the NC
I originally started playing on my Samsung fascinate and it was super smooth
It runs and everything on the NC, but it seems a little choppy at times and just not that smooth overall.
So is this a hardware limitation? Or is something about my configuration off?
I'm running the latest CM video test build currently, but I was on build 31 and 32 as well with the same issue.
On the OC kernel, at 1100, interactive
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

I played on Nookie froyo 0.6.8, get not smooth in menus, store..... but smooth enough in playing.

I know what you are talking about and its a hardware limit.

Ok, I figured. yea it's really not that bad when during the game, but it's definitely not as smooth as it was on the phone.
Thanks for the feedback

i have the same problem. but it's playable...

The nook was not produced as a 3D Game plateforme, the GPU is like 5 year old comparing to Samsung Galaxy S.
But if i compare some 3D games (or n64oid), they run smoother than on my HTC Desire wich has a really poor GPU..

Gun bros is laggy period(why would a simple menu be laggy?), ghurilla bob is a way better game and runs extreemly smooth even when theres a ton of people on screen thats supporting HD , this comes to show u the nook.can handle good graphics,

One thing to keep in mind when comparing to a phone - Our nook is running the game at 1024x600, compared to most phones running at 800x480. The difference may not seem like much, but it might suprise ya; Our screen is 614400 pixels, compared to 384000. This 1.6x pixel increase is a big load on our GPU's (the same as in the Droid X and Droid 2)...

For me gun bros never ran faster than 20 fps in game and like 7 fps in the menus.
I made it through about 10 waves then gave up. The combination of all on screen controls plus lag was to much to take.
Side note: what version of gun bros are you guys running and where did you get it? Since it is 'not compatible with our device'(due to in-app billing i would guess) it is not in the market. The one I am running claims to be ver. 1.5 and I was very surprised that Gun Bros had xga files ready to go, since the xoom would be the only released device that could use it, unless they have the android version downloading files from the same place as the ios version.

Don't know about anyone else, but I got mine via the Amazon App Store.

runs good for me
i'm running cm7 with latest tab tweaks at 1100 oc'd and gun bros runs like a champ for me. yeah the menus are a little laggy, but they did that on my droid x too. the game itself runs full-bore with no lag at all.
btw, that game is SO much more fun on the bigger screen, and i thought it was the best before!
my version allows in-app purchases and that part seems to work just fine. it installed and downloaded without a hitch from the market. i reinstalled using the latest version about three days ago and used mybackup pro to restore game data that i copied over from my x when i swapped to a t-bolt.
one note, you have to be rooted to restore your game data because the game stores the info in /system.

What's the full path?

I was playing Gun Bros (1) multiplayer edition, latest version as of this wriiting. I have a quad core 1.5ghz cpu and and a likely single core GPU PowerVR. Some zombie shooter games ann Guerilla Bob work fine. After wave 8 or so in gunbros, it stutters every 6 to 10 seconds and one or more touch controls stop working so I have take my fingers off the screen and try again. My bro dies quickly! :crying: I will try Gun bros 2 and see what happens. Cheers mate.

Gaming capabilites?

Hey there everyone!
I thought about getting the Xperia Arc but before actually deciding to do so I wanted to get clear knowledge on the performance in gaming, and maybe if there's any noticeable difference between that one and the Xperia Play, which I also thought about, but I'm not quite sure about deciding on the controller or the Bravia Engine and Exmor Sensor... both very nice to have actually.
Well, I already know that the Play is good for gaming, but how does the Arc fare? I heard it has a newer Qualcomm CPU in there, but are the 512 MB of RAM (or... what is available of it) any hindrance?
Maybe someone could try out some high(er)-end games?
There are lite versions of:
Raging Thunder 2
GUN BROS
Dungeon Defenders
Crazy Snowboard
on the Market to name a few examples... I'd be really curious as to how the framerates are on the device, perhaps also the emulation capabilites (gameboid and fpse)? Framerates or stutters or something of the sort?
Would be really great to hear some responses!
Regii

The Xperia play and Arc have the same CPU and RAM. so what i think is that they both have same horse power.
But it's up to you to make a decision are you gonna use it to play games or you wanna take pictures. OS is the same only the play got the interface to play PS games (or something like that)
I played gun bro's on nexus one that has a older version of CPU&GPU but it could handel it without problems.
here you can compare the two phones > http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3619&idPhone2=3608 you won't see that much difference.
Good luck choosing your phone

Quite right, thanks. My reference website didn't have the Scorpion listed as the Play's CPU.
Do you own one of these? Because even though they have the same horsepower, I don't know about performance in Dungeon Defenders or so, e.g.
The Playstation interface is unnecessary to me since I'd play emulators anyway, but the controller is quite attractive, even though I already got quite used to touchscreen controls on my G3 as well...

Thanks a lot If an Unreal Engine 3 game runs smooth, almost anything else will as well. And, as far as I heard, Play comes with Froyo and not Gingerbread, the Arc is the one with stock Gingerbread.
Think I'll actually go for the arc as the Bravia engine and the design are just tooo tempting! Thanks for the help!

Nice choice and i must say how great the games look on this big sharp screen. Love the screen

No problems viewing angle-wise? Heard some complaints about that. But I already saw the screen myself, a joy really, especially videos and photos.

Heck, then I really have nothing left to complain about! Well makes my decision all that much easier. Just will have to wait till a misty silver one arrives though, think midnight blue looks kinda cheap and is a magnet for fingerprints :/

here're some of the games I've tested.
Working:
- Asphalt 5
- Assassin's Creed
- Battle Bears
- Crusade of Destiny
- Dungeon Defenders FW Deluxe
- Dungeon Hunter
- GT Racing HD
- Hawx
- Oregon Trail
- Shrek Kart
- Spider-man
- Splinter Cell Conviction
- TurboFly 3D
- Zenonia 2
Not Working
- Asphalt 6 : force close during additional downloads/updates
- Samurai II - Vengence HD : not supported
Some HD games doesn't work. However lag do occur when my phone is syncing with the company exchange server. Expected though. Just make sure to disable internet or data transfer if u want to enjoy lag free mobile gaming.
cheers

Well perhaps we'll get Asphalt 6 to run somehow, and Samurai is not that interesting to me... what about fpse?
Well, what if you try to play dungeon defenders online?
Thanks for the info though!

How did you guys get dungeon defenders to work, mine crashes after the intro movie? Did you download over wifi or manually from the website?

i installed it from the market and then downloaded the ontent with wifi and it worked didn't crash. but what i noticed is that the game sometimes lagg but it's not because the cpu ors something it's because the ram it gets really low.

The game was developed with Unreal Engine 3, so no wonder there. Just wondering: what about the random reboots someone reported? Heard they had a connection to the game.

gun bros works a treat, looks great on the arcs screen, dungeon defenders works a treat too, how ever ive seen lag in older games, like this ninja game where u run up walls, it lags when you jump accross walls, also abduction2 lags at times when jumping
ive noticed that games like gun bros and dungeondefenders look really crisp and sharp... yet other games are a bit fuzzy, like they aint optimised for sharp screens

That's because 2D games like Ninjump only have a fixed resolution and can only upscale on high-res displays like the Arc's. 3D Games like DD or Gun Bros can always be rendered at a higher resolution.
Gotta say though that I experienced some lag in Dungeon Defenders with much going on on the screen.

hmmm.. i think if u r looking into gaming capabilities, i saw a very interesting article in the sony ericsson website stating that all xperia 2.3 android will be make psp certified which they claim that even without the keypad, the other android 2.3 xperia will still be able to play psp games with virtual keyboard

Xperia Z Gaming Thread!

Hello there before my XZ I had a xperia play but because of its outdated hardware(still a great phone though) I needed a upgrade but gaming is a big factor on my phone and I couldn't find a gaming Thread for the xperia z and since android has so many awesome games and the z is capable of handling these very well I thought to make a dedicated gaming Thread!
If your like me and have a moga pocket/pro I will also mark compatible moga games also, and if you request I will upload my GKP files for gamekeyboard for touch only games that I have set up with my moga pro!
I would include games with ps3 controller support too but I don't have a ps3 (Xbox FTW) so if people are kind enough to inform me I will add this too =)
And please also tell me what games your playing and I will try and and include them aswell!
I'll start the list with my games!
Aftermath XHD (MOGA)
Fun little zombie shooter game with great gameplay
Asphalt 7 (Moga)
Runs great everyone knows this game
Looking forward to asphalt 8
Alien vs Predator (MOGA)
The classic films made into a android game and really well too can play this for hours and nice graphics too
Bounty hunter: Black dawn
Funky fun FPS nice graphics and fun gameplay and I love the music not played it that much yet but hoping for MOGA support soon! BUT trying to set up a gkp
The Bards Tale (MOGA)
Has me in stitches laughing a fun RPG with good gameplay and a beautiful game aswell (I downloaded the 3.5GB Hd version though)
Bladeslinger
Beautiful graphics but I find combat quite repetitive and slow looks good with some cool looking bosses items are a bit overpriced though
I do like the swipe to slice with your sword though!
Bounty Arms (HID?)
Absolutely beautiful graphics but that's about it really gameplay is abit meh, supposed to be HID support it wouldn't recognise my moga in HID mode though but others have reported it does work
Brootherhood of violence (MOGA)
Nice graphics not had much time to play it though!
Carmageddon
Retro graphics (to me anyway) Fun, violent and destructive! Will set up gkp asap
Call of duty: Black ops zombies
Some graphical glitches in menus on my XZ but in game runs fine screaming for controller support though! I have set up a gkp but it's not perfect will upload if requested
Conduit HDMOGA)
Appears as incompatible with the z but does work flawlessly download apk (it's free) then purchase full game through app (£3.21)
One of my favourite games atm nice graphics and gameplay and I like the storyline aswell
Crazy taxi (MOGA)
Great game from a great console and ported to android it a great fashion smooth as butter looks beautiful and is still as fun/crazy as I remember!
Dead trigger (MOGA)
If you don't have this game go get it now it's free! Nice graphics (on max) good gameplay (can get repetitive though) but loads of guns to get/upgrade and with some crazy guns aswell!
Drift mania 2 (MOGA)
If you don't have a MOGA controller I would skip this one, but there is a light version to try!
Ok graphics but what's more fun than drifting? - actually a lot
Dungeon hunter 4 (MOGA)
Another fremium gameloft game with nice graphics, a ok story line and hours of hacking and slashing. Does get better the better armour/weapons you have.
Epoch
Nice graphics unique(ish) gameplay and pretty nice graphics can get abit repetitive sometimes though.
Expandable rearmed (MOGA)
Never played it on the dreamcast and I don't know why! One of my (many) favourite games atm and playing with the MOGA makes it so much better!
Final Fantasy 3
The DS port not played it much (my girlfriend does though) and she loves it, very cute graphics
Gangster Vegas (4)
Good graphics, massive map, gameplay not too bad (but I'm waiting on controller support) some bugs as all new gameloft games but pretty solid game overall
Gangster Rio (3) (MOGA)
It's ok, graphics are ok, gameplay is pretty poor though I wouldn't recommend as there are better style games now
GTA 3 (MOGA)
^^ Nuff said. But plays great and still as good as it was back in the day
GTA Vice city (MOGA)
^^ again Nuff said, completed on my xperia play and again (on max graphics) on my xperia z
If you don't have this games you must get it!!
House of the dead overkill: Lost Reels
I love this game, my favourite touch screen game so far, tried to map with gamekeyboard to no avail, but still it's got nice graphics, good gameplay and I can play for hours and is very repayable. I highly recommend
Max Payne (MOGA)
Never played it on any other platforms so can't compare it to them but still love this game with my moga, a deep story line and can be very chilling at time (walking across blood level) Another highly recommended game
Modern combat 4 (MOGA)
Most people have heard or seen this but it's the best COD like game we have until MC5 (maybe not best FPS) campaign is quite short but it's all about online! (to me anyways)
NOVA 3 (MOGA)
Halo clone really and pretty good game made better by MOGA controller campaign is quite long but online isn't as good as MC4
Need for speed: Most wanted
Screaming out for controller support (it is xplay optimised) but ok racing game non the less, could have made it a lot better though (free roam) Nice graphics and sound
Order and chaos online
Again screaming for controller support, but great game I enjoy playing it (can be addictive) even if they do want you to but in game currency can be achieved without
Ravensword:shadowlands (MOGA)
Loove this game it's not a perfect RPG and is quite short and the storyline is abit meh, but you will still enjoy travelling the world and exploring the beautiful scenery and upgrading your character, it's the android skyrim until they (crescent moon games) release a sequel
Rayman Jungle run
Rayman! It's looks great on our 1080p display and is a great time killer
Real boxing (MOGA)
Beautiful graphics, pretty good gameplay, I like the career mode which is quite long 60ish fights. Multiplayer would be nice though--might just be me but I find it harder to dodge with the moga.
Real racing 3
Pretty boring (to me anyways) at first and without spending real money, but once you unlock the supercars becomes a lot more fun. Still a good racing simulator with nice graphics
-I have gkp for this aswell if you want it just ask=)
Resident evil 4
Got a English version of game from Internet, pretty good love the resident evil series so nice to play on my phone
Real football 13 (MOGA)
Nice graphics, gameplay pretty terrible though and no moga analogue support fifa 12 is better
Ricky charmichael's motocross
Love this game purely for the Multiplayer, really fun and competitive, good graphics
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I know I overuse brackets (haha)
Sorry if I go on about the MOGA a lot too but I do love it...
Would like to hear others opinions about games listed too!

When I saw that you came from the xperia Play,I had to contribute to this thread...I still love the phone and think its the most underrated device ever,especially now that nvidia came out with project shield which is the stupidest thing ever but thats off topic...
Anyways some of my current games:
Mini Motor Racing Xperia
-Great gameplay,easy but thats what I want from a mobile game.
Kingdom Rush
-Fun tower defense game,looks great in full hd and is just the right amount of challenging
Jetpack Joyride
-It was great on the xperia play,but still awesome on a 5'' screen
Slingshot Racing
-Its cool and all,but gets boring pretty quickly,I mostly play it with friends now
Shadowguneadzone
-Great competitive fps,I discovered that I have a talent for this game...play me some time
Super Stickman Golf 2
-Amazing Game,so addictive,and looks simple but great.
Spirit
-Looks trippy and can get you playing for hours
Voxel Rush
-Pretty simple,looks cool and you can always compete with your friends since is easy to pick up
Ready Steady Bang
-Dead Simple,download it and play it with a friend.
Crazy Taxi
-Playing this all the time,it feels nostalgic and I cant get tired of it after playing on countless systems all these years.
GelaTennis
-Kinda weird at the beginning,but once you get the hang of it,it can be a blast.
I got lots more,but these are my top several at the moment. It's 4 am,but if this takes of ill put play store links and all that pazzaz

I Refuse to play games that do not save your progress amongst devices. Its by far and away my biggest bugbear with android.
thus i'm stuck playing games like candy crush and temple run 2.
As soon as developers get off their fat lazy asses and start allowing cloud saves, then i will start parting with my hard earned cash and playing more involved and better games.
But until then, they can go do one. I ain't wasting my time and money on a game, only to have to start all over again on a different device.
if anyone knows if there is a a definitive list of android games that allows you to cloud save, please provide a link. thanks.

Dead Trigger. I highly recommend it. It's a great time killer.

Thanks for your input! And yes xplay was underrated and Sony could of made it a lot better than it was, the amount of times I've had that conversation is too many haha
And I agree with you about project shield haha, and Yeh I hope this thread doesn't just fade away through the many threads, just thought it might be useful to some people

Doom 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein played with an Ipega or PS3 pad (depending on whether I'm at work or at home), plus just about every emulator going. Like you guys I upgraded from a PLAY but still use that a lot too.
Waiting for the next update for Project S.T.A.L.K.E.R; one of my favourite games on the PC being ported to Android.
Anyone figured out how to map hard keys to NFS Most Wanted? Still use my PLAY for this game as the touchscreen controls don't cut it for me.

Despicable me, Airport scanner, men in black 3, subway surfers are some really nice games

I can't even play the game on my device, how did you manage to make it work?

I'm pretty sure I downloaded it through Sony Select when the EA Games 90 Days for Free offer was on, though I can't see it listed now. The Google Play version is still incompatible with the Z, as you probably know.
The 90 days offer must have expired as I just paid another £5 to continue playing it on my Z...and still without joypad support (I must be mad).
You could try the method in this link, though I can't vouch for whether it works or not:

There is a version of NFS MW with Joypad support (HID) out there
But the bad news is that it's from the Samsung app store and so will need to find someone with a Samsung device and transfer it manually.
I managed to get a copy from my other half's galaxy s4 and works fine on my Z (I own the Google Play version but as not compatible and does not have pad support what's the point of using that one).
More info if want yourself - The version is v1.5.01 but was offered as a free exclusive offer on the Samsung app store (not sure if same version still on the market but you may be able to find elsewhere).
I belive this version was used also for Samsung to demo there new external controller but it works perfectly with any HID controller (Need to change to the controller option in the settings to activate it)
EDIT - Here's the version demoed at a show (Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZyUOgT8RAM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Just wish E.A would make controller support a mandatory option in all there games as seams them and Square Enix are the last big company developers to see that people want to play with other options then just touchscreen.
Hope by this helps

Yeah the build prop edit doesn't work anymore. You can download it and all, but it will crash:s

Reaper is the game that's been taking up my time! Amazing little RPG and it looks great! You guys should definitely play it when you get a chance if you haven't already!
