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

Changing the build.prop on my HP Touchpad to:
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
Allowed it to see all gameloft games in the market place and download the data. I tried this on my Prime but it doesnt seem to work...
Anyone know of a method?
I did the same thing when the apps went on sale. The crappy thing is I bought most of their games on my phone thinking I would be able to just get them in the market when I get my prime but no.
I read somewhere that you could email them and they would give you the apk's for the games you bought if you let them know your email address and your phone number. I emailed them and I'm waiting on their reply. Granted I didn't tell them its for my prime so I'll see what they say.

be careful when editing build prop. there's a guy now who his prime is in some sort of boot loop from doing the same and hasn't been able to fix it yet.
Order and Chaos wont work, the latest update broke it when i was running it on the TF101.
Previously we had to run the Xoom version of the game to get it working, but whatever they did in the update broke it
Its seriously ****e for gameloft not to support the TF. When i did some digging about on their forums, it seemed to be due to a licence problem, IE someone wanted to charge them too much to support the TF/ TFP officially.
Stupid really as im sure TF and the TFP will have a massive share in the tablet market now.

the problem is even with the APK the game does a check when it loads to see if it's compatible, i've gotten MC3 to work but other games will just tell you they aren't compatible when you load them.
it's ****ing lame of them, and i won't support them until they change their policy. ALL tegra2 compat games will work with the prime technically.
Most companies will write games to work with OpenGL ES which means they work automatically for pretty much every phone that has the hardware to support them.
Unfortunately Gameloft had it in their heads for a while that it is a good idea to write directly for each individual phone's processor instead of just creating one copy for OpenGL and being done with it. Thus massive fragmentation ensued.
Things are a little better now, they are releasing newer games directly to the market and those are generally compatible with all devices. When I got my VZW Galaxy Nexus I was very surprised to see that all my Gameloft Games installed right away without issue. (The one exception was Modern Combat 3 which was updated a week later).
I am pretty sure that the only thing keeping these games off the transformer prime is an arbitrary compatibility check. If they work on the old transformer directly from the market they should work on the prime.
Hopefully they give me the apk's, and hope they get updated to work on the prime. Seeing as this a very popular device, hopefully it won't take long. Its the only reason I bought them

maybe we should do the same like people did with Asus and bootloader. start writing them and complaining to them. that by not making their games compatible for TF/TFP devices they are missing out on a huge market share. our devices are more than capable of running their games. I have all the great gameloft games on my Ipad like Modern Combat3, Nova2, Splinter Cell conviction, and lots more. I really wish I could get them for my Prime. I think if enough TF/TFP owners complained to them then we might see the results we want pretty quickly.
Uno HD showed up on my Prime
MW3 and Asphalt 6 HD do NOT show up. which is sad. those are my fav.

Please sign the petition I started.
It's time for Gameloft to get flooded with emails and I decided on starting a petition so it's really easy for everyone to show support. Please pass this along to every forum, twitter and facebook friend you have.

I have Dungeon Hunter 2 working on my Prime, will upload pics ASAP.
And post a tut if enough people want to know how.
i wish people that had some gameloft games working would at least explain how... telling us that you have such and such game working doesnt help anyone.
please let us know if you have gameloft games working, and if so explain how.

Not with that attitude. You're acting as if people HAVE to tell you how to do something. Not gonna butter it up bud, that's a really whiny attitude.
I have successfully gotten Dungeon Hunter 2 working, but it crashes more than it should be and I'm trying a few things.
me soo sorry, just thought it would help more if those that have gameloft games working could explain how too others.
I use this build.prop mod by crossix on my acer a100 so the market thinks I have an a500. Can someone take a look at the lines if it looks like it will work on the Prime?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20200566&postcount=32
With this mod I'm able to see, mc3, Asphalt 6, Nova 2, backstab, Order and Chaos with my acer a100.
I purchased most of the Gameloft games during their sale (Knowing that they don't support the prime).
So far I have working :
Modern Combat 3
Spiderman HD
Hero of Spart HD
N.O.V.A 2 HD.
Not working :
Order & chaos (Downloaded data but won't update to latest version)
Asphalt 6 (Errors out whilst downloading data)
Backstab HD (Semi works - Initial download ok, game runs flawlessly though without sound (music plays, but no sound effects). After exiting and re-running the game, you have to download 2-300mb.
Dungeon Hunter - Downloaded data and installed, FC's after intro movie.
For the working games, I simply used APK's which I believe were modified for the original Transformer (Don't think I can post links, google is your friend however)
APK's will not work, unlike dead space which I can just email my samsung epic apk to the prime, install, and download sd files to play. When the gamelot apks are sent they will install and open then check the device with the gameloft servers. They then show incompatible. You can actually see the splash screen for the game in the background but gameloft is not allowing the game to go further
anyone successfully edit build.prop yet so these games will work?

Actually there's a simple work around for getting gameloft games working on Prime without editing build.prop or adding anything. As I have the new Modern Combat3 on it and it plays very well. can even play online against others. This game looks sick on Prime display.
The work around is you have to find the matching game apk. for Acer500 or Xoom device. As those have the same screen resolution. Once you get a hold of those, install, then download extra data from online. then you good to go. that simple and plays fine. Google can be your best friend
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.
Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with a game (Final Fantasy VI) in my tablet, which doesn't display the game correctly during the combat part. I'm thinking that maybe is related with the rom I'm using (RilleyRom 1.5) but I'm not sure. So if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
Attached are some screenshots I took. The first one is normal display during gameplay out of combat. The other two are the bug in his full glory.
Thank you.

The graphics in the device maybe not that much efficient to run.
Or maybe the game is missing some frames :silly:
Download the game and try again.
If your tablet is rooted, then install ChainFire3D and install drivers in it. Also reduce texture quality to run game.
If your device is not rooted, then try someother game.

Didn't work. Reinstalling the game does the same and ChainFire3D messed up my rom and I had to install it again. Thanks anyway.

Thanks for posting this because all i can ever find on this game is that major glitch from v1.0. I must have spent about 4 hours yesterday uninstalling, reinstalling, redownloading the game. I get the same results. The game seems to work fine on my Galaxy S3. I have some cheapo android tablet (Sweet brand...got it for free) running some boring version of 4.1.1. Totally stock. I've tried everything, including playing to where Terra goes into the caves on her own (figuring it was some glitch with the mechs). Anytime and every time a member of the hero's party does any action (even switching rows), the screen blacks out like your screen shot. Does not happen with enemies. I thought it was my cheap tablet not being good enough, but the game should just slow down, not black out. Other effects from cutscenes (as far as I was willing to play) seemed to work fine.
I am just tempted to play this just on my phone, but it is so much more enjoyable on the slightly larger screen. I haven't really played this game since i had it on SNES. I bought the WII version the day it came out, and then never touched it, realizing that I didn't want to dedicate 50+ hours in front of my tv to this game. Playing on the go is so much more enjoyable because I can play 20 minutes in bed. play 15 minutes on the john. Play 15 minutes during lunch, etc. The updated sprites look like cheap stickers but everything else in this game looks great and I like how they set it up for the touch screen.
Let's hope this gets figured out.

I have a Moto G and the game is perfect on it so it must be something related with our tablets. My only hope is that an update fixes it, because, like you, I would rather play the game in my tablet with a bigger screen.
