Games for Galaxy?

Hey guys, where can I get some nice games for the new toy? On Android Market there aint' that much, and on the Samsung Store the only one available is Asphalt 5.
Where do you people go to look for games? I've seen a lot of videos with people testing N.o.v.a. on the Galaxy S but where did they get it?

http://www.gameloft.com, I downloaded the motorola Droid versions since there are no Galaxy versions. Workin just fine. Downloaded NOVA and Modern Combat: Sandstorm there.

Thanks! I'll check it oout right away.
if you have other suggestions, please share them!

How do u find gaming in GalaxyS? Is the sensor accurate?
I'm concerned since I really like playing in the Iphone and I hope its as much fun

You can always use an emulator like gameboid and others to emulate everything from nes to gba games, I find that a gba game offers a lot more depth than the average ios/android game, also brings back the feeling from the old days .

The gaming experience is really smooth on the Samsung. This is where the superamoled really is good. I think there are som vids on youtube where a galaxy runs nova and modern combat. Might want to check those out

can you please confirm if gameboid works and the SNES emulator? i heard it doesnt pick up the roms properly.......

ZUMA would look nice on this phone

GameBoid not working for me, at leat it didn't the one time it installed before I had to factory reset the phone again (stupid download unsuccessful error - can't install apps!).

It appears it doesnt work properly, atleast gameboid doesnt, hangs after I select the rom (it shows the image where I last saved and hangs there with distorted sounds, however the application still works, I can still press menu and go to settings etc). It did work fine on my htc desire before, so I'm gonna try some things to make it work.

The snes emulator works great, played mario kart the other day.
the gba one doesn't however
Anyone else find asphalt 5 doesnt have a particularly good fps? raging thunder 2 and all the other games seem to be 60fps. Looking forward to games to start using ogl 2.0

Asphalt 5 is not really optimized, it performs horribly on pretty much every device out there.
The motorola droid runs is pretty well, but ONLY the droid.
As for the rest of the games- Everything that works on the droid/milestone will work on the Galaxy S
All current mobile processors are based on Cortex A8 with ARMv7 instruction sets, and both devices contain SGX series 5 graphics. The difference between 530 and 540 doesn't really matter, pretty much the same driver.
My guess is that after 1 or two firmware updates for the device things will be running a hell of a lot smoother.
Give it some time, the nexus and droid also had some childhood sickness untill stuff started running perfectly.

asphalt runs sweet as a nut on my galaxy s. so does raging thunder

Toonwarz looks like its running pretty well...

i like bridge, solitair and quake, also search for chromatatron.. laser puzzle logic games i like a lot.

Did someone have the chance to check out H.A.W.X?
And generally, the galaxy S should be pretty much a gaming beast, with the large 4" screen which is probably the best in the market right now, and SGX540, which is the strongest GPU around, untill the snapdragon 8672 sees light (and might still be the strongest even after that)

Tested and verified games and fullscreen..
Asphalt 5
Tower Bloxx
Tangram Pro (love this game..)
Flight Frenzy
The Game of Life
Surviving High School
New York Nights 2 (nice but not full screen though.. for 3.5 - 3.7 screen)
Bonsai Blast
Katamari Mobile (love this game..)
Mechanics Touch
Sally's Spa
The Gube - 3D Rubik's Cube
..still testing others.. it is very tiring to install and uninstall the games even when using ASTRO. hehehe

I have a ton of games installed on my Galaxy S.

Psx4droid Compatibility Thread Droid on HD2

Hi all,
I did a search and noticed there wasn't a thread dedicated to Psx4droid users on the HD2 running android. So i decided to start one, to list the games I have tried so far.
(btw, I have a nexus one also and these games didnt want to run on my nexus one and they ran fine on my HD2. =] )
Im running FroyoStone Sense 3.2.7
ChuckyDroidRom
Psx4droid 1.7
16gb class 2 memory card.
Brave Fencer Musashi- Ran pretty decent (.bin)
Mega Man Legends - Ran pretty decent (.bin)
Rival Schools - Lags (.bin)
Remember sharing is caring =D.

seriously no1 else is running psx4droid on their hd2?

I have a few games that I have been playing. I think the biggest problem with this is people really don't want to affiliate themselves with potentially illegal activities.
Anyway here is my list:
Final Fantasy VII: Runs ok, better with audio disabled
Final Fantasy Tactics: Runs great
Gran Turismo 2: So laggy pretty much unplayable
Einhander: Plays fine
Xenogears: Plays fine
Chrono Cross: Plays fine

I just boot back to WM and use fpsece. Much better speed and compatibility

xenogears? really ? how far have you gotten in that game so far?? no problems??
the fpsce emulator looks sweet and all. but what about on screen control? I have only read great reviews with the msi bluetooth gaming controller.

Fpsece has better on-screen controls than psx4droid.... much more customizable. Or you can just use a ps3 controller.

Hey guys, good news, the newest vr, 1.7 released a few days ago, has fixed ffvii sound issues, it sounds perfect!
Was like playing a different game with out the right battle ending music.

Currently using BluTopia v.6
PSX 1.7
Playing Breathe of Fire IV with audio studder sometimes. Havent been able to figure why yet. I 've downloaded xenogears, but that lags like hell. Still trying to get accustomed to the on screen controls.

Its absolute crap, all the games that work perfectly on Fpsece, dont work on psx4droid. It is a big joke, total waste of time im affraid.

It makes sense that fpsece would have better compatibility.... its been developed for what? 8 years now I believe. Psx4droid only for maybe 8 months.

I don't think it's the illegal they are worried about, it's the fact that it's a touch screen phone without hardware game button which kills the fun...for me anyway...

its true that fspce has been around for along time. I remember loading ff7 on my dell axim pda. 500mhz at the time. Psx4droid is actually running almost all the games im throwing at it. except GT2, it gets stuck at the disclaimer screen.

I've been experiencing some very nasty fps frops on alundra and other games no matter what build I used (nand,sd). Is it like this for everyone? Also a lot of touchscreen problems like buttons randomly pressed etc

I've got V3 for PSX4Droid and I'm having a few issues with Metal Gear Solid, she's a bit slow, slow framerate and stuttering sound, anyone else have experience with this?

Atrix very buggy in high end games

I now realize that the only thing my Captivate was better at was gaming. And not because of the screen. There's so many glitches in most/all of the high end games, making them unplayable. And its not just the multitouch bug - I dont hold my fingers down for that long. In modern combat every 5 seconds my guy turns around 180°. And in Dungeon Defenders my screen will bug out a just go crazy when I die. Which happens a lot because my guy moves like he teleports 5 steps in front of him instead of walking.
I though this Tegra chip was supposed to help? Especially because the dungeon defenders game IS a tegra game.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

Can't play good games that I paid for.

Your phone is probably defective. I recommend returning it.

I really can't do that... this is my fourth one. 1st, gps wouldn't work, second a 1x4 area on top of screen wouldn't click, third froze up like my Captivate. This one has been perfect, until I started to get my old games that I had on the Captivate running, and found this out.
I'd rather not return it, and probably get a worse one.

Well tell me about it I went through 6 Atrix in 30 days lol but I am happy with this one now.

These games are being updated as we go along and they just don't support Tegra2 processors yet but it will be fine in another 30-60days or so.

Tennis no offense but these games are phone specific in many ways and you know this so complain tot he manufacturer for results not us.

Oh, so you're saying it's kinda like the AT&T thing? They advertise as 4G, but they're still working on it?
That would kinda of make sense I guess... so in future updates the Tegra chip will become utilized?

I have not had any of the issues you are talking about. Dungeon Defenders HD/Delux runs flawless on my Atrix. Do you have the most up to date version? And did you get the app legally or bootleg version?

Bought it through the market. Its the tegra version too.

I can't comment on Dungeon Defenders, but anyone able to play Monster Madness? That game lags like no other when I'm playing it. Biggest waste of money...
Maybe the overclocking will fix it, but still, you shouldn't have to OC.
EDIT: This is specific, but anyone able to get FPSe working (specifically FF7)? It runs great except for screen transitions/entering battle; it will slow down tremendously during these scenes. It's funny though, because my frames per second remains at around 60 even when the screen and sound are slowing down.

I play dungeon defenders, and it runs silky smooth on my phone. never had a bug. actually playing it right now. The only time I have issues is when the server messes up (not my problem................ or is it, AT&T/MOTOROLA, hmm?)

try installing the big file for Dungeon defenders manually from their website to make sure you have the right file

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

Most games are stuttering - Jelly Bean bug?

I have Galaxy Note (ICS) and I played some 3D heavy graphics games with this phone with zero or minimal stuttering. However, when I play most of the same game in my N7, they stutter heavily.
Games I tried:
- Gears & Guts (worst stutter)
- Dead Trigger (bad stutter)
- The Dark Knight Rises (worst stutter)
- Shadow Gun (minimal stutter)
I have NOT installed any background systems apps that takes a lot of resources to create this stuttering.
I am wondering if anyone experiences the same problem or if this just my tablet. I already did a hard reset twice and same problem persists.

Dead Trigger is the only one of those i have played and it seems to run ok but I have read A lot of comments from people in the play store saying the N7 is lagging or stuttering
Just out of interest, are you using any of the home screen rotation apps (rotation locker, ultimate rotation control etc)?

Lots of rumors that Apple are behind a HUGE campaign to try and discredit the Nexus7 in whatever way they can, which I guess means forum posts here, Play store comments claiming about lag and stuff.
I havn't seen any of this, and my Nexus7 is perfect. I think people need to make up thier own mind, rather than being influenced by Apple viral marketing campaigns.

I'm not getting any stuttering in games on mine, I played Asphalt 7 and Dead Trigger today and both played smooth and fast.

Same here. Games play flawless. Now if you have an older version of the app called rotation control, its a known fact THST app caused games to stutter. They just recently updated their app to fix this. Even says in their changelog that it was causing gaming/videonstuttering on nexus 7. With the new update for that app, they fixed it.

I have the Dark Knight Rises on mine and it plays with very minimal lag (stutter), not sure why others say its terrible as it just really hasn't been for me at all.

I had this. Rebooted it and it's not happened since

I have The Dark Knight Rises. I dont see the lag. Works fine.

from my experience, lag and stutter is purely opinionated.
i come from a PC gaming background, and i cant stand anything less than 60fps, which is why my beast is watercooled.
some games on the nexus 7 dont stay above 60fps all the time, but they run consistently more smoothly compared to on my galaxy note with factory ICS (not rooted).
however, one thing you might not be used to is the difference in screens. amoled has a very low response time (less than 1ms black to black in some applications), but IPS panels have a longer response time (6.5ms grey to grey and around 16ms black to black). to people who are sensitive to it, this can make it look like its lagging a little or ghosting. it improves a bit once the device is warm, but not by much. run a benchmark and see if the fps is similar to your note, if it is, then its mainly the difference in response time that you are perceiving as stutter.

The same here with Dark Knight Rises.

Don't play a lot of games but what I have loaded plays perfectly fine on the N7. I also have a Galaxy Note, I have the game Sleepy Jack which consistently slows down to almost a halt when a lot is happening on the screen. On my N7 it just doesn't happen at all, plays beautifully smooth. I loaded Dead Trigger after reading this post even though its not my preferred type of game & don't see any lag. Riptide GP is glorious but gets a bit boring.
In fact gaming on the N7 is a pleasure compared to the GNote (laggy, colour banding, black crush issue in dark scenes).

I'm running hotw1r3s cm10 on my note, I loaded up the games you posted on my nexus and my note, and got zero lag on either.my nexus is rooted stock

I have been playing Dead Trigger since I got my N7 on the highest settings available with no lag what so ever. I do a lot of gaming and can tell if there is "Stuttering" and let me tell you, this tablet doesn't stutter.

Well something is very strange then - if people are saying there is no frame rate issues with some of those games..
From personal experience -
Asphalt 7 drops frames all over the shop - compared to it running on a phone [it's only really smooth in the replay after the race]
Batman - does stutter if you pan the camera while moving - or in combat - or moving at speed - and the over all frame rate is low
On iphone Asphalt is very smooth - the iPad version is like butter..
I have not purchased Batman on the iPad - however reports are it's also very smooth..
I think it's a combination of things - I can see that some people may not notice - if coming from other tablets or lower spec phones.
But those two games are deff not optimised for either jelly bean or the nexus 7..
Dead Trigger - plays great - so I know it's not my tablet..

That's weird, because I just played a long session of Asphalt 7 last night on my Nexus 7 and it played as smooth as butter, the same goes for The Dark Knight Rises. I wonder if there is a program on your Nexus 7 that is causing those issues.

Well if there is - it's one of the stock ones
I only have paper land pro installed - and I bought that after the games - and noticed the low frame rate before it.
it's very odd if theres a app causing it - that Asphalt 7 looks great on the replay..
Asphalt 7 also has bad texture loading - you get weird textures that flicker as the texture loads in.. [which others have reported]
dead trigger plays great - MC3 - fine - Dark Meadows - fine
Maybe it's something silly - like 8GB tablets have faster storage memory than the 16GB [to save cost on the 16GB]
But then you have a 16?
Noticed yours is rooted though - might have something to do with it also - mines stock
it's not a really low frame rate - but compared to it running on other devices - SG3 / iPad for example - it's really noticeable.

I have a 16 GB version too. Have you tried doing a factory reset? If that doesn't work, you might check into getting Google to send you another one out, it could just be defective.

I did a reset - I did that since I was sending it back due to screen lift [which I then fixed] - reset didn't help.
Also redownloaded in case it was a 'bad' install - still same.
Noticed yours is rooted though - so maybe something to do with it?
All other games run perfectly - so cant see it being a hardware issue - MC3 / Dead Trigger / Dark Meadows and even the Tegra 3 demo 'Glowball' all ruin great
There's an ongoing thread about Asphalt 7 on both here and the gameloft forum - some have found altering the XML device file in the game - making it think it's running on a phone - think it's a SG3 - makes it look a lot better - less bright tracks, better overall 'look' the Nexus version can look really bad when compared to the phone version..

frame rate is still poor though.
The game just does not run well /look good on the Tegra 3 tablets when compared to other Android devices.
And compared to the iPhone / iPad versions - this looks like it's really struggling at some points.

Guys, notice something? The games you are saying look and run great are Tegra 3 optimized. The others are Gameloft games. It is Gameloft's issue for not optimizing their ports, I mean, games.
Will either have to petition them to optimize the games or don't play them. There's another thread about someone digging into the code in Asphalt 7 and seeing it was optimized for the S3 and not N7. They used a hacked APK and used the same settings for S3 and it became noticeably better.
