This might be a noob question but do HD games actually run on the Nook Tablet? coz i tried running some Samsung galaxy s games on it and they crash on start..
What device games will run best on the NT? I presumed the SGS games would be most compatible Because of same GPU (sgx540) though it has a smaller screen.. Still almost none of the HD games of SGS work and about 30% of other powervr games run sucessfully.. I have a rooted Nook tablet btw
Is this happenning to others as well? will there be better compatibility once custom roms are made for NT.. and extremely noob doubt (im new to android)- isn't HD supposed to be 1080p? so are hd games running at 1080p?
Any game that has THD in its name requires tegra 2 which doesn't work on the nook tablet.
The only HD games I have read working are angry birds hd. That's it.. Everything else is standard graphics.. You can try modifying your build.prop so you can get more apps to run...

Hello satan,
I would recommend reading through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19704560
_______sig starts here______
Even you were a beginner once
If this post helped click the thanks button!
remember QTIP - Quit Taking It Personal
If by hd you mean like strait 1080p dont know about that. But if you mean like console quality games yes it plays them very well, nova 2, grand theft auto, dungen defenders 2 (that one is in the android market) the others i got from sources i cant name here. And many others, i have a bunch of 3d first person shooters and others that just purr with the graphics on the highest settings this has a very capable chip set. I have an htc hd2 any game that is made for that will run on the nook tablet. I had some games that the phone couldnt handle they would bog it down but they run perfect on this. So look for games that run on the htc hd2 theyll work for sure. Ive had issues when i find games that have different versions for different phones most wount run. But it just happens that i have that phone and any game that will play on that will play on the tab thats the most help i can give you.
I know World of Goo and Osmos both work very well on the NT, and with awesome visuals. I haven't tried many other high-quality games, though.
I made a video here showing various HD games playing on the NT.
By far, the best looking game IMO is Modern Combat 3. (Video here.) It just looks and plays beautifully. It's the game you run to show people what the NT is truly capable of.
As dodgepot posted, definitely look through the games thread, as much of the how to/which/where to get has already been gone over.
i recently found dead space HD works awesome on the NT. very good effects n' such.

Which version? 2? 2HD? What model did you download it for?
please answer!
Man these forums are dead =\
I've tried most of Gameloft's portfolio, and I've experimented with versions for many different devices. Unfortunately, even if they do run, they don't seem to run correctly. I've been using the HD versions, and they all run in a very small area in the middle of the screen. It seems that Gameloft has a bit of work to do on the optimization front. They just got around to optimizing most of their catalog for the Galaxy Tab 7, and they are starting to optimize some games for the Xoom, so we should be seeing some of their more popular games within a few weeks. If you're looking for high quality games, you should download the Tegra zone app and check out the games in there. I can say from experience that Riptide GP, Gun Brothers, and Galaxy on Fire 2 are amazing.
Gameloft's Asphalt 6 HD works fine too
No issues with the game on GT10.1
-Asphalt 6 is good. Theres quite a few cars, it's not really much different than Asphalt 5 though.
-N.O.V.A. HD kinda worked. It FC'd too much to play though and the controls were badly messed up.
-Modern Combat 2 boots up through the video at the beginning, but crashes instantly after.
-Spider Man also FC's alot like N.O.V.A. If it didn't FC as much as it does it would be alright.
I'll update this list as I try more, but so far it is just a ton of failure except for Asphalt 6. The graphics were fine.

I agree with your suggestions, but I don't know if Riptide is worth the money. It only has like 4 tracks and then it does all of the tracks in reverse and they all look the same.

Yeah, that's true, $7.00 for 6 tracks is a bit overpriced. The graphics are nice, if not a bit boring, but the other games are quite awesome. I also like Cordy, Apparatus, and I'm really looking forward to a few of the upcoming games in the tegra zone. Arma II looks awesome, Trainz Simulator (if reasonably priced) might be fun, and I'm just waiting for Monster Madness to launch.
Hi, long time reader, first time poster.. Had a question for fellow Rezound owners...
Is anyone having issues with gameloft games, even the hd ones? They load and videos are full screen but when goes into actual game its about a third of the screen and all the buttons dont match where you have to touch the screen for them to respond. I also had this issue attempting to play the Quake 3 Arena port.Am I wrong in guessing we are just gonna have to wait for devs to patch games for the newer hi-res phones? Thanks in advance.
not sure on those, but I have Samurai II: Vengeance and ShadowGun which are also HD games and they play fine. although they do manage to make the phone run hot and slowly drain the battery while its charging... õ_Ô
Thanks for the quick reply. Went and tried both those games, they look fantastic! But I see what you mean, the phone warms up considerably, I am hesitant to keep playing those games, how much heat can it withstand I wonder.
As long as the phone is only hot when playing games, it is fine. If the phone's heat isn't hurting your hands, then it is fine.
Yeah i noticed that some games won't download the extra content and some like Splinter Cell don't have any buttons at all.
hmmm... if we could somehow keep dry ice close to the back of the phone. ó_ó
If it is a game that says optimized for tablets, I would assume it should work with our phone. If tablets are not supported, you are probably going to have scaling issues. I could be wrong.
It seems Gameloft games are out until they optimize them for the the higher resolution then, too bad, they are putting out some great looking games. Do any of you Rezound owners have any other game recommendations. Samurai II and Shadowrun are amazing, does anyone know any other compatible great games? Thanks in advance.
I don't play games, but I did play the NFS demo which was pretty cool.
Scrabble on Rezound
The Scrabble that EA makes for Android sure gets screwed up on the Rezound. It can't handle the 1280x720 it would seem, so you get a tiny little game in the upper left of the screen and a bunch of crap everywhere else. It's just barely playable in the tiny upper-left corner.

Nova 2 didnt work fine for me.
Was on engadget today and saw that rockstar is going to release GTA 3 for the following devices.
Apple iOS Devices: iPad 1 & 2, iPhone 4 & 4S, iPod touch 4th Generation
Android Phones: HTC Rezound, LG Optimus 2x, Motorola Atrix 4G, Motorola Droid X2, Motorola Photon 4G, Samsung Galaxy R, T-Mobile G2x
Android Tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Dell Streak 7, LG Optimus Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1, Sony Tablet S, Toshiba Thrive
Think we have a shot or not enough power?
We definitely don't have enough power because we can barely run any of the higher end games (shadowgun) I'm sure that well be able to get it running, but probably terribly. Also this game doesn't even have that great of graphics... just bad optimization

Shadowgun runs fine for me on one of the later nightlies overclocked to 1.2ghz. I also have GangStar running with no issues to.

GT racing, Asphalt 6, Modern Combat 2, Sacred Odyssey all run great for me. That being said with Gameloft already having Gangstar (which runs great BTW) there isn't much need for an actual GTA. GTA3 might be worth it if there was a way to put the Real GTA mod on it.
fine, fine maybe shadowgun was a bad example but what about 9mm, riptide, fast five, dungeon defenders, etc. those don't even force you to have a dual core device... remember we're pushing 1024x600(thats 614,400) pixels of 3D on old hardware... also I'm not so sure about the definition of "it runs fine" these days. Some people seem to convince themselves that things run great when they're not (myself included)

How did you get the crosshair in the middle, the damage indication, and the dragable looking area to fill the whole screen??? I've tried tons of different versions to no avail I've even looked at your thread and used the version listed to no avail. thanks in advance
yea gangstar makes gta3 look kind of dated.
I did notice a bunch of slowdowns trying high quality games on my Nook however a second later I noticed I was running on the conservative governor and facepalmed myself.
Switched to performance governor and everything was a breeze...
One way or another, we won't know until it's released, right?
I wouldn't be surprised if it runs. The NC is a little gem. That said, how is it going to playable on a touchscreen? And... an honest question... is GTA III really that fun? I just picked it up in a steam pack and it didn't take too long for me to move onto Vice City (and then stop playing that a little while later). It'll probably be more impressive to run on a phone/tablet but it felt like an early tech demo compared to a lot of "modern" games.

The entire screen is bound to controls, take a look at the picture of it on engadget... its a little overwhelming
Touchscreen controls urgh...
I still pair a PS3 Controller via Bluetooth every time I play PS1 / N64 games on my Nook... I really hope they add Bluetooth Controller support to the game.
Yeah, having real controller support would be nice. I did see the screenshots, and it's just really hard to play games with a virtual d-pad and even just *two* buttons (to me), let alone 6 or 8, especially when it includes what are supposed to be shoulder buttons.
On a side note, I mucked around a little with the onlive app, and that suffers from the same thing (the virtual controls). That said, OnLive does have newer, more compelling games, although it requires a constant, good data connection.
Nook Color seems to me to be able to push Dreamcast level graphics at 1024x600. Most games with that level of graphics seem to run at around 20-30fps at best.
The main reason GTA3 is so much more demanding than seems reasonable is that it's a sandbox game with a large, open world. It's not all that much different than say Elder Scrolls.
Game is out now and market says it should work on the NC. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3 Anyone got it to work?
It hangs Nook dead rght after intro movies. CM 7.1.0 Stable.
With chainfire nvidia plugin,screen stays black upon launching the app
soooo I take it as a no go. Darn. Well it works on my electrify but as stated earlier the controls take up way to much room. I'll try a wiimote I guess.
Anyone have any luck getting this to run? Would think it would be possible to and to control it with a PS3 controller connected via bluetooth.
Got it to work! Download GTA 3 version 1.1, use chainfire 3D and set default plugin to POWERVR, awful cellphone video below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKN9QRGq09E
EDIT: Will test more in the morning, jump to 1:00 to see 30 seconds of "gameplay" before I flip the car
why do we have to use the powervr plugin? nook color actually has a powervr gpu
I didnt need any plug in. I installed CM7 last night and gta was in "my apps" and it runs better than on my shift. Lol

Good evening ladies and gents.
I'm about to jump off the fence and buy a new phone (and since I'm posting here I guess you've figured that I'm seriously considering the S3). But before I choose I want to know which games I can expect to be able to play. I stumbled onto the Tegra Zone a few months after I bought my Desire HD and was quite disappointed that it didn't support the content. I know the S3 doesn't have Tegra but stil a lot of the games are still supported/available.
I've now read through dozens of threads but I'm unable to find out how one figures out which games the S3 can run. In some cases I see thats it's just the "ultra high" setting that isn't supported (1. is this correct?). 2. Is there a different version of most games that are meant for non-Tegra devices or is it the exact game but some of which lack the highest graphics settings? Lastly: 3. Are there any games that S3 owners won't be able to play in the foreseeable future?
I would really appreciate input to any of my questions. Have a good day/night
It runs Mali-400 games and if you decide to Root just install Chainfire 3D and you can run most Tegra and any other games.
Gaming is very good. Thats all i have to say
Sorry i couldnt be of more help.
Have u tried looking on the playstore? With a friends phone or on the web page. Google searched? There is a thread about good ganes in the s3

S3 can play anything but Tegra3 Specific games, there is an app made by Chainfire it's called "Chainfire3D" where it emulates all different graphic chips in the market, so basically you can play all non-tegra and tegra games that aren't Tegra3 specifc as mentioned above. The app needs root in order to work. Dead trigger is the latest game to come out and it plays VERY nice and smooth. Shadowgun tegra2 version works, Pinball THD, Fruit Ninja THD, NBA Jam works nice PES2011, Blood and Glory work pretty well... I'm not much into gaming, those are the games I own, and I can say they are the ones that will hammer the CPU and GPU pretty good. I'm not sure what you mean with "ultra high settings" everything works. remember that the screen size is 1280x800 so some games that are made for smaller screen will have black bars or some cropping or some weird behavior, but I've only seen that on "time killer" games, can't recall which game was that showed this behavior, but still playable.
Hope that straight things out a bit for you.
Chain fire helps with some tegra games but it's not perfect eg sonic 4 ep 2 lags like treacle and some tegra games don't work at all. However the graphics hardware in the gs3 is the fastest in the world for a smartphone so there's a lot of potential. But tbh gaming without hardware buttons is pretty crap anyway.

Thank you all for your replies.
I had already read through the post you mentioned slking1989 but even though it assured me that a lot of quality games are supported it didn't give me a definite answer regarding how to determine beforehand if a game will run or not (like "system requirements" or similar). I'm guessing the reason HQ games doesn't show up in the Play store on my current phone is that it doesn't support themn thus it's no points showing them but since I don't have the phone yet I wanted to do some research.
My choice is between the S3 and the HOX but after your replies the S3 was pushed further ahead in the race (only kept back by the insecurity around Tegra games really). Now I just have to decide which color to get.
This may help u decide

I haven't tried it on my Prime yet, but it looks good on my Samsung Galaxy S3. They probably didn't increase the resolution for the Prime (or any android tablet) once again. We will always play second to Apple when it comes to Gameloft, until game pirating diminishes on Android's end, they are just not willing to put the extra manpower to optimized the game for different android devices.

I wouldnt feel so bad pirating gameloft games if they didnt screw devices over so much. Really, all it takes is a high end version for the big three (tegra, qualcom, and the other one forget the name) for HD devices, another set of reduced graphics for lower end devices, and thats it! Why make a seperate game optimized for each device? I KNOW the tablet version of a game will look good on my prime. Its got the horsepower to play anything you throw at it, even if i have to use chainfire, so why make it so damn difficult for me to play games i know i like? Gameloft is one of the only companies i know of that has problems making games for android, everyone else seems to deal with different devices just fine, making one game version (or sometimes a couple) that work for every device, or sometimes a HD version and a non HD version
No, i have no problem pirating Gameloft games, and if they DO come up with a game that i can buy ONCE and have it work across my multiple high end devices like anything else on the google market then maybe i will change my mind. Until then im not sending them one cent to their online store, especially if its not through google.
Never liked any of gameloft games. Most of their games are just bad clones of other games.

Wtf is wrong with u guys this game is pretty awsome! my only issue is that all game developers aren't including controller compatibility for android which i believe should be a must, as connecting a controller to any android device is the simplest thing ever.

I'm with you on this, and not only gameloft, other companies does that too, shadowgun, fruit ninja, samurai vengeance 2, guerrilla bob, cut the rope and so many other games have a thd version and a regular version, I really hate having to pay twice for the same game just to avoid it seeing awful, I dont really get how dificult could it be to make a game like dead trigger that gets better graphics depending on the hardware

Gameloft even not optimized this game for Tegra 3. Like reflection effect , Motion Blur.
YOU CAN LOOK BETWEEN GALAXY S III (OR OTHER PHONES) AND PRIME , GRAPPHIC MUCH DIFFERENT. YOU CAN'T NOTICED THAT!?
I wait for this game about a month and they even not optimized for our Prime, Like other gameloft games.
If you make some games in Android , you must test your apps on every gpu chips. Why other DEVs can do? You release after iOS for month and you even not fix ANY issues. GAMELOFT sucks.
