So i was thinking of buying this really cool device, mostly for surfing, watching youtube and movies on the run and to controll my email. BUt one thing i'm also very fond of is gaming. So i'm of caurse wondering what kind of games you will be able to play on the shift.
I was thinking playing my old favorites wich i think could suit Shift very well, The Baldurs Gate serie, Icewind Dale serie and Planescape Torment. How well do you think the shift could handle these games?
Diablo I & II
Starcraft
Fallout I & II
Myst
Bring back the classics baby.
your series will play nicely. I also played neverwinter nights on it
other classic games on shift
resident evil 1, 2, and 3 plays well on my shift.
I also use EPSXE to play psx games and they work really great.
Thanks for the replies it sounds great!
I don't recommend playing games on this device
it is designed for doing business on it that's why they didn't deliver it with high VGA card
Ultimate hand held
I don't really like PSP or DS, handheld gaming PC was my dream since childhood, so that's where Shift comes in handy, all my favorites from 90s come in, I just wish to solve Space Empires 5 touchscreen issue someday, also reading rotated manga is a lot of fun too.

oh... I like them.. but it's not perfect sure... at home I use a usb keyboard+mouse... (logitech MX3000 or something like that) and it's a real pleasure
Worms armageddon is playable when u disable the gsensor joystick ... tried to play iit with that but its pain
I play Mugen games on this with a Xbox 360 controller and adapter. Works like a charm
Halo works fairly well. After installing from the original CD, and then running the update progam under the programs halo installtion directory, the game runs without the need for the CD present, which is a must for a UMPC.
With minimum graphics settings, at 800x480 it runs pretty well, I play it with a USB Xbox 360 controller.
Let's Talk Really Old School
How 'bout X-Com? Anyone tried that? I had problems with everything getting pushed to the top inch of the screen on my Dell Mini 9. I'm thinking in 800 x 400 X-Com might work on a Shift.
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
Just wanted to say it is amazing to be able to play playstation games on my evo. With the newer beast phones coming out it should be no time to play ps2 and others as well. I never thought I would see the days of playing full console games on a phone. I have also been playing nes,sms,genesis and snes. Brings back memories.....
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
lol it is going to be a long long while before you're playing ps2 and xbox games on your phone. PS2 emulation has only recently become truly playable and compatible and needs high end PCs. I know technology evolves fast but I'd say you're still years away from PS2 on your phone unless the device was dedicated to that purpose.

Im hoping that some in here with a galaxy s II and n64oid would be able to record a video of them playing mario kart 64.
I'm curious how the sensation and the galaxy s II do compared to each other in emulator performance, and havn't found any videos or benchmarks for the emulators.
I'll be posting this in the sensation forum as well.
Perfect framerates
Won't bother recording anything though

It just so happens that I will be recording a video with this later today for a review of the Phonejoy dual analog sticks review at Clove.
Mario Kart isn't demanding enough to particularly note large differences though, its Goldeneye that starts to show up how much better the SGSII is.
all of the videos i've seen of mario kart running on n64oid has been very choppy.
and now there is a n64oid v2 which I can't find many videos of either.

Really? Even on the old N64oid Mario Kart runs great on the SGSII for me (here is one video of mine, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bmtulP9Vlg - you'll want to skip ahead to the 2:50mark, it runs better on the new N64oid engine).

amazingly smooth.
looks like it runs better than a real n64.
Demo video is a go - its here with the Phonejoy review article:

Exciting stuff!
What was it in particular that made Goldeneye difficult to play. I din't really understand that part of your review.
The N64 controller stick was pressure sensitive, which made aiming easier, with the bluetooth controller its either all on or all off - no graduated directional control - which makes aiming and looking a bit harder. Mapping the strafing keys to the right hand analog stick helps a lot.
Anyone had a chance to check if this installs on the mojo? theverge.com/mobile/2014/3/10/5492954/mount-blade-for-android-shows-that-full-pc-games-can-go-mobile Pretty excited about the game as i'm a fan of the PC version. Gamepad support too so thats kool.

Q: What kind of support does this feature for the NVIDIA SHIELD?
A: Optimization to run at a high framerate during gameplay and full gamepad support for all aspects of the game.

Looks like a 100% controller game, the shield and mojo uses the same controller interface, google's.
It should work fine, they both have the same-ish hardware specs.
I'm guessing nvidia help them port it to shield, so that's why there's no mention of mojo.
Not into medieval gaming, but this looks really good!
The game does work great on MOJO, and its the full PC game, so lots of playtime!
can this be moded to work on non tegra 4?

Possibly, though it might have some tegra 4 specific calls. And even if it doesn't you would need something as powerful as the mojo/shield to run it because even on my mojo it can run a bit choppy at times.
