Is the Razr a decent gaming device? - Motorola Droid RAZR

I'm interested in getting a Razr and I would appreciate some experience with playing games on it as I'm a big gamer. I have an iPod Touch, but I only play like three games on it because the screen is so small. Is the Razr capable of keeping up with intense games?

So there's no significant slowdown or freezing when playing intense games? When I play intense games on my Droid 3, after 20 minutes it becomes unusable and requires a reboot.

I recently acquired the craze for this amazing games available, and I can say they run awesomely great!
See, I used to have an Xperia, and the games were either too big (in MB) or too demanding (processing power) so I never really played, since the phone slowed down considerably.
Now with my RAZR, I tried a bunch of games that ran as smooth as butter, with very detalied graphics on the, oh so great screen, it's overall a much, much better experience. I tried GTA 3, Battle Bears, Spiderman HD, Real Racing 2 and Shine Runner. All took up 400-700 MB but they run with no hiccups.

Real Racing 2 works on the RAZR?

Yeah, just tried it this morning. Seems to work so far.

We've got a PowerVR GPU. It's enough.

Somehow, my riptide GP and sprinkle ( YES SPRINKLE) lag when i play them.
Also, the water effects in sprinkle is not real..it looks like round dots..which are really ugly. Already using chainfire3D but still there. dont really know why

It's not about capability, it's all about compatibility.

it's a beast.. just played gta 3 for about an hour.. runs great

well my razr doesnt fare so well, so far it lagged heavily on fruitninja HD, ninjump and ashphalt 6. anyone else expierencing this?

Agreed on GTA. Please also consider that unlike a few other recent devices, the Razr has a qHD, rather than 720p, so less pixels to push. Especially if you play game emulators, the Gnex and Rezound do not play very well with virtual pads, plus PSX and N64 play slower.
Pixels are a factor for game emulators and is why they play faster when in a smaller native window (less pixels to push). Not sure why there is not better scaling for Android, but all current chipsets have the issue.

How is performance?

Current have an Inc, Hoping to switch soon. Just wondering, how is performance in 3d applications and gaming? Specifically N64oid. Thanks!
-CM7 ADR6300
I don't have tons of info for you, but I can tell you this... N64oid wouldn't work at all on my fascinate, I could hear sound but no video at all.... Goldeneye 007 (the only game I really care about lol) plays on my tb, but it is a lil choppy, but the app is also very young so I think that has something to do with it....
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
True. It was also pulled from the market until the dev could improve it.
Would you mind trying Orcarina of Time? It runs about 70% speed on the Inc.
-CM7 ADR6300
I can tell you this, havenf played alot of games but this phone makes the dinc feel almost slow. And i LOVE the dinc. But the extra ram and upgraded processor really make for a flawless experience. If u are thinkibg about getting it. Do it

I have the 5 vibrations and blinking led issue on my Inc and the TB is definitely what I would get.
Thanks for the replies, guys!

Ocarina of time runs seamlessly just tried it and it literally runs smooth as butter.

Hello I just can say that I always tried to play the Monopoly HD game on my previous Android phones ( Droid 2,dinc,Droid x,fascinate,Samsung galaxy tab) and I could install but never open it until now with this thunderbolt so that should mean something I guess lol

Super Mario 64 Runs Smooth Too. The Graphics are good enough. Way better than old gen Snapdragons SoC for shure. better than Droid X and on par or Near Galaxy S from what people say (Seems bout right to me too). Also to guy with Fascinate, Games worked good for me on my old fascinate. Maybe it depends on game.
I'm coming from the inc, and the performance is much better. Easiest way to tell is by using a live wallpaper. They are much smoother now with the better gpu.

I too came from the inc. It's definitely better in terms of performance especially graphics. The extra screen size makes everything more enjoyable too.

Is It Just Me Or......

Does it seem like alot of good games don't play right on our RAZRs? I tried playing World of Goo and it freezes every few minutes.... Very funny game though lol.

WoG worked fine for me on stock official OTA (GSM).
I have noticed that a lot of games on the market are still listed as incompatible for the razr though.
I have the verizon version stock and nonrooted lol. I would've thought a couple months after release there would be more compatibility for our phones though...

You arent alone my friend..seems like Samsung has gulped down every developer out there to make games for Sammy devices...and that too for free...
There are handful of them that work for me...
Weird, i play WoG GTA III Jelly defense CS1.6 Portable Minecraft
and i had no freeze or lag
I'm on stock rom GSM EU 167.20 android 2.3.6
I've only played WoG and Minecraft off that list. Minecraft works fine though lol. Maybe the GSM versions were built better? Lol.

Its a pretty solid device for gaming, I've run almost all the Emulators on it and they work great, and all market games work very smooth like! Also helps that there was a great person who got the Wii Controller to work with our device, just search for that thread if you're interested
It is awesome. I have never experienced any lag. All the games I've played at the highest graphics settings have run very smoothly.

There are a few games that do not work, just as an FYI. I haven't been able to play Robot Unicorn Attack, N.O.V.A 2 or Sim City, to name a few.

I've got a few gameloft games installed and not having any issues myself. Using the balanced profile by default. Do you have any other apps running in the background chewing resources?

Same here. I have problems with Bad Piggies (crashes all the time and send me back to homescreen) and with The Dark Knight Rises (low frame rate.. sometimes lags like hell). For now, I only tried these 2. With ICS everything was smooth...
P.S.: I've factory reseted my prime as soon as I finished the upgrade to JB and injstalled just a few apps... Runnig Stock rom from the begining allways.
Ive played angry birds, bad piggies and Dark meadow. I have only seen ANR' rarely usually after using the "One click kill" tool and the games all perform and don't crash.

If you were to filter the reviews to the newest TP reviews for Bad Piggies you'd realize that it'sa known issue.
I've only tried Horn so far and it seemed really laggy initially but after a few days my Prime has seemed to someone settled with the update and it's running really smooth now and I'd safely say that gaming performance wise it fares pretty well in comparison to gaming reviews on the Nexus 7
And if you're intending to get the game I'd advise you not to. The game carries no substance at all, it's too well guided and all that you need to do is to click what's in front of you and move forward, feels much more like a game meant for kids, the graphics and story however is worth looking forward to
The only real issue I've had is occasional stutters, which I've put down to background tasks or apps that I might not have shut down before playing.
Only game to crash during play was Bubble Shooter which has been a bit strange since the upgrade. The longer you play the more it stutters and having got bad one time it then crashed completely.
Pretty much flawless for me, well for the games i play at least
Shadowgun, GTA III, Horn, Asphalt7, Real Racing, Rayman (one of the best games for android ever imho), Dark Maedow... Everything is smooth and i didnt have one single FC so far loving it.
Batman and spider man is laggy for me like hall. Modern combat 3 little bit laggy on mp when someone shotting on me!. I cant wait for mc4 zero hour

[Q] Droid Dna games

Hey there.
I'm going to be getting the DNA in a week and have looked through youtube and there's no videos yet on gaming performance except the one game that comes with it. I was curious as to how well the DNA plays more graphically demanding games with the 1080 screen. Are there any hiccups anybody has noticed? I know need for speed most wanted was one of the games that seem to have Fps slowdowns and Nova 3 has had some hiccups here and there on the note 2 I had. Any info would be really helpful.
According to adrenaline, a lot if games don't work yet.

Ya, i've heard that some games don't work with the 1080 resolution yet. But I only heard of a handful not working. Won't be able to do any testing myself until I get a hold of the phone next week. I have basically all the gameloft games. It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but it would suck having to wait for the devs to play catch up with the higher res screen.
