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

So, I received my TF Prime on christmas evening I have personally never owned a tablet but have had several Android Devices and was able to play your typical puzzle and tower defense games on them without any problems besides slight performance issues. I mainly wanted the Prime for the gaming and I can honestly say this thing can handle anything I have thrown at it.
I first downloaded a bunch of classics, like Cut the Rope, Angry Birds, PvZ, and as expected they ran smooth as silk and looked better than ever on the Super IPS display. Next I loaded up some emulators, Mame, NES, Genesis, Super Nintendo they all ran excellent.
Then it was time to really see what the Tegra 3 could do, so I tried the Glowball Demo and RipTide Demo and was pretty impressed both game ran smooth and looked and sounded great, super easy controls. I needed to see more. I purchased ShadowGun from the Nvidia Tegra Zone app and was completely floored Visually and performance wise I couldn't believe I was playing this on a tablet, Console quality graphics smooth performance and most importantly fun! If this is any indication of the type of games and performance I can expect from the TF Prime and the Tegra 3 I am 100% satisfied with this tablet Anyone who is on the fence about getting the TF Prime and want to use it for gaming don't be, just get it. You will be happy you did I am content with my TF now and with ICS coming down the road things will only get better.
Do Gameloft games work on the Prime?

I'm pretty sure they don't cause gameloft hate Asus.
(why else their game aren't made available for the original Transformer ?
I'm sure Gameloft games will become available to use on prime. there will always be wrkarounds. plus we still great games like teg3 version of Dead Space and more to be released. check out my thread in themes and apps section of prime. its called Prime/Tegra3 Gamers thread. we list what's known to be working so far and more. there's alot of great games out for Android already. coming from using my Ipad, I was surprised at how much Android had. initially I was worried cuz I have all the best games on my Ipad and feared Android would severely be lacking. not the case at all. Android is catching up in the games department and have some really good ones out there. Tegra3 version of Shadowgun owns my Ipad version, which looks great also.
I played Shadow Gun THD at gamestop (my ATP comes tomorrow) and it was crazy how detailed and smooth the game was! If they can get more support for optimized games who knows how many incredible games we'll see!
While shadowgun is amazing and stunning my favorite is riptide
I too purchased the prime for gaming mostly and was very pleased when playing the available games. But I'm disappointed that gameloft games are not available for the prime. It is Gamelofts fault but end result is still can't play it. I think Dead Space is the same since I couldnt find it in the Market either.
Once root is available you can probably change build.prop to make market think you have a different device but that will prevent you from seeing tegra 3 optimized games so youd have to switch back and forth between two build.prop. But still this isnt guaranteed games will still work correctly.

Dead Space is offically coming to Android. The tegra3 version. not released yet, I believe. A couple people said they had it already but its not tegra3 version n more than likely a hacked version.
How ease it to hook up the PS3/360 controller via blue tooth with TP. No way I'm playing games like Dead Space with a touch screen.
ps3 controller is compatible natively through BT on the prime, the xbox controller needs to be plugged in via usb (which means you need the dock) to work, but it also natively supported that way.
the games also have to have gamepad support enabled, which shadowgun (iirc) does.
tf prime is better than the new sony ps vita for games?
both use arm a9 quad core processors...
I bought ps vita and I tihnk is powerfull like ps3 and I'm waiting for tf prime arrive in Japan or another good tegra 3 tablet

I think by prime having better battery life, a fifth core, best.display, and a beefier gpu from.Nvidia, it just might be. Of course the vita will be strictly game focused plus backing of Sony. so prime would probably produce better looking games since more powerful. the vita is no slouch also but you have to remember two different platforms. vital will have strictly games for it, mostly. prime will have some of everything and as time passes there will be alot of great games optimized for tegra3. the vita does look cool though. I had the original PSP when it first came out. I loved it. I have a good feeling the vita will be a hit considering how powerful it is and the great visuals, compared to other handhelds, it can produce.
SoulCraft beta is out for Tegra 3 devices
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.mobilebits.soulcraft
interesting game, mind you though it is beta and I'm sure there are bugs and problems but i haven't had any yet
it doesn't give you to many instructions so you kinda have to figure it out yourself
it kinda reminds me of Diablo a little bit
give it a shot
JB out
Thanks for the heads up. Should be on my Prime when I get home.
I tried it out Very briefly. I didn't like it. It wasn't what I thought. I didn't like the way you shoot/use your weapon. seemed very tedious and not practical the way you fight the wave of monsters. Plus I couldn't tell a difference playing online vs. offline. Some of the spells and special powers you use are cool. I ran into some bugs. The controls kept freezing up and I couldn't move. then other times I could move but my weapon button didn't want to work. In the heat of the action the game kept pausing although I never pressed pause button. it came from the attack button.
Overall the game has potential but seems more like a tegra2 game. Hence the reason description says either tegra2 or tegra3 can play it. This was not optimized for tegra3. The top down view of everything doesn't really do this game any justice graphics wise.If the graphics are nothing to get excited over then it better have some killer gameplay. The loading screens looked cool and made you think you in store for something big. I personally couldn't get into enough. Seemed tedious having the monsters just all swarm you. Alot of things need to be done to make this game better. Make gameplay go smoother and possibly zoom up the came more to show more details of the scenery and action. Main thing is changing the way you attack. Having to hold button down and arrow pointing to where you shooting is too much and adds to clutter of screen. This is a beta though so I'm sure it'll get alot better and major things will be changed/improved.
I agree. Game play is kinda meh. I was expecting more out of it. It also stuttered from time to time. I think its more for tegra 2 devices since I dont experience the stutter on my acer a100. Either way I wouldnt buy this game.

Pretty Much had this same experience last night. The combat was downright akward but it was 1 in the morning. will try it again today.
I'be been playing t on nd off since the hour it was released. Its not that bad, but needs to be optimized or Tegra 3.

I actually enjoyed it (Only played the first couple of levels).
Needs more work, but had some fun. I agree, the combat wasn't exactly what I expected and could be improved upon.
At this stage, with 1 Tegra3 tablet in existance (and supply still extremely low), I don't think many companies will see the benefit of making Tegra 3 exclusive games. Hopefully with time.
Pretty dissapointing for such a hyped up game... To me its just another skinned gun bros game with bad graphics...
So far I'm pretty dissapointed with all tegra 3 games.
Shadowgun thd, tegra 3 version is choppy at times exp during boss fights.
Motogp thd, tegra 3 version is randomly choppy during races.
Even samurai 2 has the usual choppyness at the start of each level (I suppose its loading animations, but still wtf).
Hopefully it will get some real games soon that can atleast compete with ipad 2.
And what's with asus changing specs every month? First tegra 3 was a quad 1.5ghz, then 1.4 and now their adverising it as 1.3...
I bought mine when it was 1.4 but according to setcpu and other system information tools it is clearly only 1.3ghz quad core...

1.4 when using one core and 1.3 using up to 4 cores.
They better hide the back n home button. While playing if you hit any of those, you get booted off. No quick resume

Same here...along with Glowball no longer working, Siegecraft is very buggy as well. Oh and all my benchmark scores have decreased as well and battery life isnt great anymore as i was getting 12-15 hours with no charge and now I can only get about 8...what happened...Im seriously thinking of reverting back to HC until I hear some good news with ICS.
I was excited to see this beta come out, I remember watching the youtube video of its amazing graphics and all of its potential.
I could not have been any more disappointed.
The graphics quality seems high in terms of polygon count, but the textures look low res and the "jagged edges" on the models make it painful to look at.
It isnt very responsive to fast movements either, in fact it struggles to keep up. Far from fluid. There is definitely a ton of optimization to be done, so it may look much better closer to release.
The gameplay itself is best described as clunky and cumbersome. The whole idea of the charging weapon attacks just doesn't feel right.
Kiting mobs on a boss level is a pain because you get caught on nearly every object; and they throw weapons constantly so if you get stuck on something you get wailed on.
Inventory/Character screen needs retooling to be more intuitive and easier to use.
Also, I don't support free-to-play-but-pay-to-enjoy business models. It often means an unpleasant experience for users who don't want to spend $50 on a game. I would rather drop $5-$10 for a full featured game.
Strange, on ICS, GTA III and Glowball work absolutely perfectly.
Hi all,
Real Racing 3 it's a racing game just released by EA with gorgeous graphics for a mobile device platform.
If you want to know how does the Nexus 10 performs running this game with its beautiful 2560x1600 10 inches display, just give a look at this video:
http://youtu.be/8gy7XA0ZsAU
I made even a quick comparison with an iPad 3.
Ciaoooooooooo
Would be nice to see if the N10 can win against the iPad 4 though.

Mmmhh...if Real Racing 3 it's already a little bit better on the iPad 3 than on the Nexus 10, how can it wins against the iPad 4?!?!
I do really hope EA will release an update to catch up with the effects missing on the Nexus 10. :/

The iPad doesn't exactly "win" the iPad 3 runs graphic intensive games at a much lower resolution, for example, NFSMW has a lot more effects on the iPad 3 but you can also see the jaggy edges on all surfaces (it's most likely running at 1024x768 or 1440 by some number I forgot) My dad has one so yeah...
The iPad 4 on the other hand has one beast of a GPU and a lower resolution, for gaming, our nexus would be no match for it.

I wasn't talking in general, I was talking about Real Racing 3. If the game runs better on iPad 3 than on N10, the iPad4 cannot be worst.
Moreover, not every games run on the ipad 3 runs at lower resolution in respect to its display res (I own one...)
Given that, I don't think the N10 is less poweful of the iPad3, but for many reasons (one of those is hardware fragmentation of course) it's not that easy/worthwhile to write games able to use the whole "horsepower" of an Android device.
Anyway, yes, the iPad4 has actually one the the best GPU solution on any mobile devices, I guess the N10 just cannot catch up.
We will see if a new N10 with quad core cortexA15 and the Mali T658 could compete with it.

I just started playing NOVA 3 Freedom Edition on my Nexus 9 and I noticed a huge difference in graphics quality from the Redmi 1s or even other phones version of the game! I think technically Graphics in a Tegra tablet should be far better than a normal Snapdragon Phone! BUT this is just the opposite! Although I don't get any fps drops or stuttering in the Nexus against the Redmi 1s's low fps and frequent stutters, it still is disappointing looking at that quality of graphics. Is there any way to fix this?
P.S.: Have tried downloading the OBB from in-game as well as from Play store. Same problem. Also I have screenshots from both devices but can't post because of 10-post threshold.

The game was specifically tailored for phones and 16:9 aspect ratio. The nexus 9 is 4:3 which makes games look graphically weird (like Real Racing 3) even though the tablet is capable of providing a crisp resolution. It's just poor optimization from the developers, or just lazy, I guess.
