Question related to games - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to ask that y does our nexus 4 not have most nice games?
I saw brothers in arms 2, was not supported
Asphalt 6, not supported
Saw many more games (mostly 3d) and none were supported
Common games like asphalt 7/8 and gta were supported
Moreover, game developers have started tegra exclusive games that really makes me feel bad
Google advertised this phone as built for gaming, and we all know that our phone can easily handle tegra3 , then why can't we play those games?
Since this phone is a Google phone, I demand gaming support, at least for nexus devices
Can anyone tell me one some reasons good enough about this all??
Are there any adreno specific games??

Well basically it's up to the game developers, which devices they say are compatible.
If they say it's not compatible with our nexus 4 then we don't get the choice to install it. simple as that. Google doesn't get a say in that matter.
Don't go throwing demands about because it just makes you look like a spoilt kid.
There are many different variants of system on chip designs used in the various phones and tablets that android runs on.
Now it's impossible to expect developers to release an optimized version of every game they release, to cater to every different variant of soc out there.
Nvidia been a big name in the graphics industry setup and made agreements with developers to make optimized versions of their games with better effects (known as THD).
Now if you want somewhere to complain. I suggest you either go straight to the developers ask why they aren't supporting this device. Our go to Qualcomm and ask why they aren't pushing for optimized games on their platform.
Complaining here will result in nothing but people flaming you.

Offer your support to contribute to making KraitbS4 compatible libraries for the game in development then

It's the games' developers' the game that make those calls, not Google, and definitely not you.
Anyway, good luck with your, ehm... demanding.

Sounds cool!
Is it powerful enough to emulate heavy games like assassins creed and NFS?

Kainy doesn't emulate anything, it's a remote desktop solution that's optimized for gaming. You connect to your computer and control it remotely while it runs the game.

Nvidia Tegra Zone - Playstation

has anyone notice the new news update in the tegra zone on March 9? Playstation basically mention they'll be working on a new app called "Playstation Suite" to tegra 2 devices? i couldn't copy and paste the article from the app, but here is what it basically said:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/PlayStation-Suite-to-bring-the-PS-magic-to-your-Android-phone_id16261
wouldn't it be cool to play old classics from ps1. they also mention that they'll port over some ps2 games too. there're a couple of ps1 and ps2 games that i wouldn't mind paying $10-15. hopefully they'll be around or bellow the $4.99 sweet spot
That's great, you should just get fpse and be done with it....

yah i know, but not all the roms work and some have bugs. which annoy me when i really get into a game.
ill be using FPSE until this comes out, but im excited about this
with this combined with emulators - I actually think that the android platforms has a comparable number of games to the apple app store.

Any nvidia tegra games their is even a method for tegra 3 that is semi working i havnt had a chance to try it out yet uhm adreno games like desert winds and alotof gameloft games were you might have to emulate the power vr gpu bcause if im not mistaken they were built on that and then ported to others.

Vodafone Australia promises Nexus S Jelly Bean .....read on.....

So this has me thinking..... Nexus S is similerly specs to the Xperia PLAY and it will be getting Jelly Bean...man... For those curios unless games work great on ICS and or JB I will stick with GB as it offers, currently, the most compatibility. Still though.. if the Nexus S can get it the nwhy not the PLAY. Clearly $ony has moved on and has forgotten about our awesome little gaming phone.... guess its JB or waiting until later today to see what the supposed new ZTE Gaming phone is all about.... peace ya'll

Thats why i am still on GB and dont plan on moving to ICS. Most games are not opimized to work on ICS.
The ZTE smart phone doesn't even have a gamepad. Also only a tegra 2 processor. Bit dated. On the plus side, it is cheap though, only £189.99

THATS A GAMING PHONE!!!!!! Ummmmmm....yeah..OK. I will keep my awesome xperia play thank you very much. I was thinking it would have a slide out game pad. But a touchscreen for gaming....as all PLAY users will comment.. touchscreen gaming blows.... I'm starting to sound like TLRtheory. its OK though he's cool

i just really hope that jelly bean gets ported well to the play with project butter and stuff... + the gaming (at least emulators) works as good as with gingerbread... but i dont think its gonna happen :/
Due to project butter, jellybean seems like a major change from ICS, more so than gingerbread to ICS (not in terms of appearance)

Yeah! Looks like we will never get something that will replace our SE-XPLAYS!!!! Shame really thought we might be seeing some Tegra 3, GamePad love! But hey! Its not like we have ever had our hopes and dreams smashed before now is it!
Wasn't ever going to happen. Anyway, doesn't Sony have the patent for physical gamepad in a phone?
i heard that JB only needs 512 of ram. Does it mean that it will probably run better as ICS did?

Oh god, not this again.
The reason that the Xperia Play is not getting ICS is not because its hardware!!!!
READ THE FOLLOWING LINES PLEASE!
The reason because the Xperia Play won't get ICS goes like this:
1- Sony launches the Xperia Play.
2- Some months later, some developers like Rockstar Games and EA make some outsanding games compatible with the Xperia Play (GTAIII, Dead Space...) wich helps a lot on the sales of this smartphone.
3- Sony, wich plans to update the Xperia Play to ICS like the other Xperias from 2011, launches a beta of ICS for the Xperia Play in order to allow people to test how their apps and games run on the new version of Android.
4- The beta works great on the phone, but some games like GTA III and other important titles don't run well. These games need to be updated to work correctly on the ICS for the Xperia Play.
5- Rockstar, EA and others refuse to update their games for the Xperia Play.
6- Sony, with no option, doesn't want to lose the most important titles of the Xperia Play and decides to not update the device.
END.

If you want a gaming tablet, look at the wikipad. It's got physical controls and has a tegra 3 processor. If every Xperia play optimised app worked with the wikipad it would be great

I bet this new Sony Tablet will have OEM Dual Shock 3 support out of the box just like the current Tablet S does. So you still have real controls with a familiar gamepad. I guess the choice is yours if they implement that.

I actually don't mind any of these threads. They are general information that Xperia PLAY users might want to read.

Anything with ICS has native gamepad support that also works with DS3. I use mine on my Acer Iconia with the USB cable, and no additional software.

Cool device but the controller part is detachable!
Wouldn't it be a smarter move to just connect a PS3 controller to your already existing tablet?
Cool idea but things gonna flop faster than the N-Gage

I don't think it will flop. The specs are good and it apparantly will be competitively priced with the nexus 7. If you want, you could keep the gamepad attatched so it's more covenient than carrying a ps3 controller.

I guess it ultimately comes down to the price. But having the detachable controller just kills it for me x(
Hmmm, looks snappy, but I think Imma wait for the Microsoft Surface.
The surface looks interesting but i think it may be too expensive. The pricing needs to be right, I'd wait a year or two to see how windows 8 tablets are going and how the app support is

What happened to Skies Of Glory?

Just wondering if there were any other SOG fans in here. It used to be such a great game. I just recently downloaded it again on Google play and now it doesn't work and the reloaded version doesn't work. Kinda sucks as it was as a great detailed WWII flight combat game. I tried some of the others and they just weren't the same. I'm not really into WWI games as much. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions as to a good replacement or how they stop that game free music FC on devices? Thanks!

I played SoG from the beginning of its release. As far as the Nexus 7 goes, it has never worked on it. The reason is that it is not compatible with the tegra 3, which is what we have for a graphics chip. It would require a major overhaul, and that will never happen. And as far as I can tell, it wont run on any android running 4.1.x or higher. Yes, it is a great game. But, it was released in December of 2009, and never got a good update to keep up with androids advancing versions.

Well thanks for the info. I thought I read somewhere about the Android 4.1.X or higher thing.. That's a shame. Have you found anything that satisfied that genre for you? I just haven't found it yet. Sky Gamblers is very similar but it's all WWI and that kinda limits the awesomeness.. Lol

What name did you fly with? (Cs)
No, I have found nothing of that genre to replace it for me. I didnt really like RoG either. D-pad games annoy me on devices with a full gyroscope. SoG was a perfect platform for control. Gyro and rudders.

I don't remember. I had installed on my GS2 back in the day and just recently thought "Hey that would be fun to play again" lol. These jet games suck too by the way.. Lol. Gosh makes me sad. I guess I could play the WWI games. The sad thing is that there are games out there that seem fun just mostly multi player online. I like the campaign modes. I used to have this one simulator back on pc that had this AWESOME mission were you had to protect a bunch of B-52's from the dang Germans.. Lol it was fun about 30,000 feet up planes everywhere bombs falling... Lol. Loved it.
