This is a pointless thread. This is like me saying my Alienware M17x R3 laptop has amazing graphics and games are out of this world or heck my PS3 for that matter. I wouldnt buy a tablet for gaming I doubt many people do that being said I want a PS Vita but I am not interested in any of the current games I will wait for a 9-10 score out of 10 game.
lol, no sh*t sherlock... I enjoy watching my blurays more on my tv as well, sound is better on the surround set too.
Hey guys, I bought a dedicated gaming handheld that has like 22 buttons, and lol, it's better at gaming than the slab of glass I was using before.
Lol, I got a vita and a prime. Enjoy both for gaming and both serve their purposes. I love my prime for playing retro nes,snes & n64 games. Especially using the HDMI out. I love my prime!
I drove my car to work instead of riding my bike its much better at getting me there on time!

Exactly. I got Vita at launch and even though I love it, it is cannot replace Prime. Both have their respective pros and cons in regards to gaming.
Lol..he getting flamed left n right. I'm sure the vita is probably better since it is a "Dedicated" gaming system. If i had to choose between one or the other, I'd pick the prime all day. Its a way better value and runs circles around the fits based on all the different things it can do and its features. Plus I haven't seen one vita game yet that looks better than Shadowgun THD or Riptide THD. Plus Sony PS games coming to android anyways. The vita has developers dedicated to only making games. I'm sure once time passes we will also have games that look as good or better than the vita. Specs are similar with the prime being alot more powerful in alot of aspects. Prime is best of both worlds. Plus ill take the larger better quality display of prime over a small 5 in. Anyday. Vita Is a great device. Even considering getting one. But as i think about it more, I can get games just as good on the prime. ANDROID apps n games will sell alot more than vita games. Meaning these games will reach more users or gamers. Alot of people ditching console systems now in favor of mobile gaming on IOS or android.

I just picked up a Vita too! Add me up PSN ID: Filth_Flannigan
Yeah, the VITA screen is awesome. They have zero light bleed because of the screen technology. And everything on mine worked as advertised out of the box, even Wifi and GPS on my 3g Model.
It is a great piece of hardware, but it is a dedicated gaming device. The Transformer Prime wears quite a few more hats.

Nice. I'll add you as soon as I'm done adding music to my Vita.
UMvC3 is awesome on the Vita!! I can't believe I am playing it on a portable in all of it's glory. I just got time to sit down with Uncharted.........AMAZING! Wipeout 2048 is the best portable game graphics wise. The only problem I have is that everyone playing Vita online seem like Pro's...especially in UMvC3...lol.
I'll add you now, this badboy has insane multitasking capabilities. I hope Sony gets Kingdom Rush and Riptide on the Vita. Those are the only 2 games I miss. For gaming on the go, obviously the Vita owns. Sony is spending 50 million on the advertising campaign. I can't wait to get my TF700t w/dock to compliment the gap between my Vita and M18x.
I tried to add you but it says invalid ID.

Riptide GP has really jaw dropping graphics, and feels like an Xbox Live arcade game! I'm really impressed with the overall quality, and the game is pretty fun too! By far the best graphics on Android game so far.

How is the gameplay and replay value? It sure looks awesome, but $8 is a lot more than most games. Still, I'm definitely tempted.

Gameplay is great, and with 3 difficulty levels and openfeint achievements there's a good amount of replay value. Super fun, glad I bought it.
yes this game is amazing
jeez thats a lot of money for a phone game, v tempting, thanks for link
Wow I got it, absolutely worth it. It's fun, looks amazing, and has good sound/music too. Plus buying it sends a message to developers that we want quality games and will pay, so do it!

I like Pinball HD for Tegra. It's half the price and pretty awesome graphics and gameplay.
Glad you guys are enjoying!
I have Pinball HD and it's pretty awesome too. But Riptide looks like it was ripped off from PSN or Xbox Live, and it has better graphics than many games sold on those services for $10-15.
$8 is really a bargain considering the overall quality of the game - technically the best graphics on the Android platform so far with great gameplay.
My First Trainz Set has amazing graphics. Not good game play though. I'm waiting for that train simulator to come out, that'l be really nice looking.

Pretty much too much turn required or I just suck at the game. Need for speed shift (part of the telstra sbf) works well for steering, almost too easy.
Cheers!
The graphics were so good it was quite shocking. Finally a reason to get a Tegra 2 phone.
Thread cleanup. Back on topic please, Thanks
It takes some getting used to with the turning the phone to turn. Not sure how I feel about that type of gameplay. Although despite that I enjoyed the game and it looked beautiful. Thank you for showing us this find
has anyone try Contract Killer from Glu Game ????? i get so addicted to this game. graphic is stunning and the story line is interesting too. you can train to level up, buy more advanced guns to kill faster great game. find it at market.
sweet i think i might have to buy it!
Another great game for Tegra 2 is Samurai Vengeance. Great story line, AMAZING graphics and HOURS of gameplay!
Thanks for the post about this new game...gunna go try it. =)
I'm sure most of you have seen the game demo's shown on the Prime, including Riptide, Shadowgun, Glowball ...etc, I am yet to see Tegra games such as the following:
Galaxy on Fire 2 - this should look amazing!
Shine Runner - hoverboat racing
HISTORY Great Battles Medieval - this was first tested on the nvidia quad-core reference tablet, which revealed how smooth a strategy game like this could be played
Zen Pinball - funky twist on pinball
Vendetta Online - another space game, but centred around MMO
Bang Bang Racing
Dark Meadow - another game to look forward to. Good visuals and an interesting storyline
I really hope other gaming company's head towards Android development in the near future, the mear fact that there are thousands of roms for various emulators and can be played with a ps3/xbox remote is a huge +
However I would like to see more PC like games possibly ported onto Android, for example Homeworld/Homeworld Cataclysm, Command & Conquer series, Half-life/Portal series, Borderlands...to name a few. I'm not sure where the community stands on this type of development, I'm sure it's not an easy task, but it has to be possible as it would grab alot of interest. I'm not saying necessarily the brand new releases, but at least some of the classic's that we know and love which would be ideal for some mobile gaming.
Just a thought, but share your ideas and suggestions
Porting from x86 environment (PC) is not an easy thing. And good games need good controls, even though we are at the point where gamepads are finally supported i dont think devs can make games that depend on it. So alot of games wont really work with touchscreen controls.
I think the best thing we can do if we want good games is pay for the ones that will come out on tegra3, so the companies make some money out of it.
And if you count alle the Tegra2+Tegra3 games + gameloft + other companies + emulator you get alot of good games already available. This Tablet is not thought as a replacment for my Desktop gaming pc.
Get onlive app and you can play all the great pc games.

NVidia has collaborated with a lot of game development teams (as you can see in most games credits), and Asus is the manager of the "Republic of Gamers" community. It should be time for them to push the developers to create good Android games. Anyway, a good game usually means more than a year of development. Providing how long has been Android alive, and how long has it been a smooth enough OS... my guess is game developers will start moving towards it but games will take its time to come.
Command and conquer WOOT WOOT

I'm hoping for a Torchlight or Torchlight 2 port or version that works it's way to Android because I feel Action RPG would work great on a touch screen and since Torchlight has a netbook mode I feel it would run awesome on Tegra 2-3.
I'm also interested in Onlive but I'm concerned about bandwidth because I have a 6mb DSL connection and my wife and kids use netflix as the primary source of TV. I guess I could head over to evil charter but then the price doubles...
Anyway, I feel that we will get some AAA titles for android in 2012 and it will spike even further from there... I expect some good augmented reality games and some 3d action from Nvidia as well. =)

When Google merges Chrome into Android it should get much better. At least we would get Bastion. I see Android on the forefront on games on mobile device with stuff like Tegra, but with different capabilities per device there is not much incentive to make a really spectacular game that only runs on a few devices.

Yes!! I got Onlive on my Prime and used my Wiimote. Very awkward and had to download the wiimote conroller app. I plan to get the Onlive contoller or get a wireless controller.
The new Batman looka amazing on the Onlive app! I had no lag either. I got 1 month FREE Player pack Bundle, which is normally $9.99. with a promo code from Chevy. Awesome app.
Riptide gp looks incredible on the prime and is fun to play. The tegra 3, does make a difference.

The games you mentioned are OK. The highlights are Dark Meadow and the Pc games you listed. I'm looking for more hardcore oriented games now. I had ShineRunner on iPad. It was cool but same ol really. Riptide much better although same people make it. I'm getting tired of the kiddy oriented simple games. Bring Metro 2033 or Batman Arkham city. Or would love to see some over the top FPS, maybe something from Broken Sword series, or maybe a tegra3 version of Dead Space.
Like you said, a really good, in depth game will take at least a year to develop. Only thing is with as fast as these tablets come out with newer, more powerful hardware, the development has to be shorter. Unless made in advance to run on future hardware specs also. Until I seen OnLive, I've been sleeping on PC games. I was always more of console type gamer. I cant front though, the games I've seen for Pc are sick as a Mofo on OnLive. PC versions of console games usually better or better graphics n extras. Mobile platform gaming needs more hardcore oriented games. Games that take a good amount of time to beat. Has to be more in depth. I'd love for Bethesda to make an Elder scrolls version for us. I miss playing that game. I had it when it came out for xbox one, the Morrowind version.
I think OnLive may be our only access to these type of gsmes till developers start producing these type games. ShadowGun is cool but I have it for iPad n just about beat it. I need more than that. Bladeslinger looks cool but very similar to infinity blade, which I have infinity blade 2 already. I want more games like Dead Space. That game is very well put together n always scare the sh€£ outta me when playing. That's how into I be, especially when playing with headphones on. I understand a tablet is supposed tp be pick up n go type device, but we need a more I intimate gaming experience. For some people, this tablet will be the only form of gaming they have. Like me. I no longer have console systems. My iPad is my sole device to fulfill my gaming desires. I have all the best games, IMO. So along with being a productivity device, I hope the Prime can continue my love of gaming also. I know IOS has way more games, but I have e feeling the tegra3 will open doors to some serious games to come. We need more unreal and doom3 type engine powered gsmes. Those usually produce the best visuals and gameplay. I like the more simple games also but I'm really looking for games to really make you think and put up a great challenge..

I know right. I love those type action/horror games. I've never had a game like dead space scare me so much before..lol..n I loved it. Just looking for more engaging games that really pull you into the experience.
Grand Theft Auto 3 is coming this month, I thought tomorrow but not sure. I saw that added to the Tegra Zone today and Soulcraft
For me the best game is Dizzy, but you don't need Tegra3 for that, I know. Still, I hope more games like that will be available (and more Dizzy games get ported).

This was also said about Tegra3:
- Sébastien Deguy, CEO and Founder at Allegorithmic
“Tegra 3’s quad-core processor and 12-core GPU allows developers to port PC and console game titles using BitSquid Tech for the same great experience on any device. From a hard-core gamer’s customized PC to a phone or tablet with Tegra, you’ll get identical game play and buttery smooth graphics, anywhere any time."
- Benjamin Lee, Managing Director at Blowfish Studios
”Thanks to Tegra 3′s fantastic GPU performance we were able to use the same quality textures in Zombie Driver THD as on the PC. The outstanding quad-core CPU performance makes it possible to support Tegra game development in parallel to other high-end platforms.”
Some more details:
The GPU is also significantly more powerful than the Tegra 2 GPU, with up to 3x performance, while also adding other graphics features such as dynamic lighting, which they say no other current mobile GPU has that. Dynamic lighting makes for much more realistic environments and gaming experiences.
The game developers working on Tegra 3 games say that the 4 CPU’s help a lot with in-game damage effects, animated textures, weather effects and so on. So don’t be surprised if games made for Tegra 3 actually look better than other games made for other GPU’s, even if those GPU’s manage to get higher score in synthetic benchmarks (I’m looking at you A5/PowerVR SGX543Mp2).
Now this is very promising details!

Yep! GTA 3 Works like a Dream on my Prime!! OMG with headphones, the radio stations sound amazing!!!
I'm going to Best Buy this weekend, what wireless controllers work? Xbox?
I personally have and love my Prime, my dad has always been an iPad user. He bought the newest on launch day, and I spent a bit of time comparing them. The iPad is a great device, but not for everyone. Both are smooth, both work, both have great screens. But, the iPad is...extremely basic in its layout. No widgets, no customization past wallpapers. The Prime has tons of customizability, of course. Apps are another story. Sure, the iPad has great app support, aside from every app not specifically designed looking horribly streched. Realistically though, most apps do have a nice iPad version. The Prime does a great job upscaling apps without a tablet version - that said, the Play Store doesn't have quite as big a selection, even though nearly everything you can think of is present. On the subject of stores, if you don't plan on spending money consistently on apps, the Prime is the best choice. Take for example, iGun Zombie, a game on both the Play and App Stores. Both are exactly the same, though while the App Store sells it for $.99, it is free and ad-supported on the Play Store. This is something to keep in mind if you aren't willing to pay for every app.
As for build quality, both are great. The new iPad is just a bit thicker and heavier. Both screens are great. With the iPad, the "retina" display (which is actually just a term they use for the resolution, it's not special display technology, just Samsung packing in extra pixels) is very nice, but not such a big improvement from the Prime. Both compete well. The cameras are both very good, but obviously not as handy as a more compact shooter. Touch response is very good altogether. Sound quality is acceptable, both took the one-speaker approach - and it shows. Both feel alright in the hand, cases help though.
The most important thing in the end, is just the experience. If you enjoy customizability, the Prime is for you. If you like smooth, straight-forward and easy to use software, the new iPad is a great choice. Preference, preference, preference! Anyone who stumbles across this, stop researching and go to Best Buy. Play with both. Whatever feels nicer to you is the winner.
I'm not going to bother comparing accessories past this, because that has little to do with the devices' performance and experience as tabs. If you are a case-whore, the iPad always wins. For functionality, the Prime's keyboard is a wonder.
I just did a similar thread on this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558951
I have never owned an Ipad and was walking through walmart yesterday and saw they had the new ones, which surprised me. It was the last one only 16GB so I figured I would at least give it a try. If I don't like it I will take it back, so far the screen is nice but for what I do it doesn't look that much nicer than the Primes screen just my opinion. Its better but not by that much, I don't sit and zoom in and out on every little detail while browsing or whatever and the prime zoom is fine, I think so anyways. I think its kinda an overkill but it does look nice. I didn't see much difference while just on YouTube and general web browsing. Its simple to use it has quite a few nice apps for free, they take a long time to download. I just can't control it like I want to, once the Ipad is unlocked Cidea(SP?) or whatever they call it, can you do overclocking and all that? Custom Kernel? I know you cant change its basic layout but I don't know a lot about the IPAD yet. Whats the benefits of a jail broken IPad?
I think the games are on par I ran a test with a game that is not Tegra optimized for comparison, looked about the same to me. I don't know where IPAD got 5x better graphics maybe on a game they developed? Anyways all that's in the link I got up top.
I'm really glad someone made a IPAD comparison thread.
Thank you.

How much difference does the iPad's screen make in text quality for ebook reading? And, at close-to-print font sizes (for me, that's toward the smaller side of the font size options on both apps).
Thanks!
As someone who owns both a Prime and the new iPad here are my thoughts.
The prime is great with the keyboard dock. I love using it to sit in IRC with or chat with friends. I like the layout and customizability of the home screens.
The iPad is great for web browsing. I find safari far smoother than my prime and general usability of the zoom and gestures to make it faster to navigate around on than the prime.
Both are great devices, each have their ups and downs, though personally I think Asus could have done a far better job. My iPad doesn't reboot every hour or so or lock up.
On a side note about everyone complaining about how the new iPad isn't faster than the iPad 2. I'm going to break it down for those who need it simple. The new iPad is an iPad 2 with an upgraded screen, GPU, and LTE. That is all. There may be more ram for running programs but that's it. Others have said it has a larger battery which is true, however that larger battery doesn't last any longer than the iPad 2's smaller battery did. Sadly, the new iPad is still faster than the prime.

I personally have and love my Prime, my dad has always been an iPad user. He bought the newest on launch day, and I spent a bit of time comparing them. The iPad is a great device, but not for everyone. Both are smooth, both work, both have great screens. But, the iPad is...extremely basic in its layout. No widgets, no customization past wallpapers. The Prime has tons of customizability, of course. Apps are another story. Sure, the iPad has great app support, aside from every app not specifically designed looking horribly streched. Realistically though, most apps do have a nice iPad version. The Prime does a great job upscaling apps without a tablet version - that said, the Play Store doesn't have quite as big a selection, even though nearly everything you can think of is present. On the subject of stores, if you don't plan on spending money consistently on apps, the Prime is the best choice. Take for example, iGun Zombie, a game on both the Play and App Stores. Both are exactly the same, though while the App Store sells it for $.99, it is free and ad-supported on the Play Store. This is something to keep in mind if you aren't willing to pay for every app.
As for build quality, both are great. The new iPad is just a bit thicker and heavier. Both screens are great. With the iPad, the "retina" display (which is actually just a term they use for the resolution, it's not special display technology, just Samsung packing in extra pixels) is very nice, but not such a big improvement from the Prime. Both compete well. The cameras are both very good, but obviously not as handy as a more compact shooter. Touch response is very good altogether. Sound quality is acceptable, both took the one-speaker approach - and it shows. Both feel alright in the hand, cases help though.
The most important thing in the end, is just the experience. If you enjoy customizability, the Prime is for you. If you like smooth, straight-forward and easy to use software, the new iPad is a great choice. Preference, preference, preference! Anyone who stumbles across this, stop researching and go to Best Buy. Play with both. Whatever feels nicer to you is the winner.
I'm not going to bother comparing accessories past this, because that has little to do with the devices' performance and experience as tabs. If you are a case-whore, the iPad always wins. For functionality, the Prime's keyboard is a wonder.

it works great. have you made sure to keep it updated? I can use fullscreen on it with no problems. plays flash video flawlessly also. I believe I had made it fullscreen in portrait mode to take that screenshot. but fullscreen doesn't crash on mines.
I was in Nebraska Funiture last night looking at the prime, and since there is an Apple store near I went and looked at the new ipad. I looked at the ipad 2, new ipad and the prime, and honestly I cant tell the difference between any of them screen wise. Unless my "retinas" are broke (and they could be) if there is a difference it's not drastic. I was told the new ipad had more pixels than my plasma, so I went in thinking it would look better than my plasma, it didn't. I didn't see anything about any of the devices screen that "stopped me in my tracks" They all looked good though. With that said, I just sold my transformer and soon as my funds clear ebay I'll be getting the prime.
I'd love my prime a lot more if it didn't lockup or reboot so much. My iPad doesn't have this problem. Neither does my Galaxy Note. Even though I love the prime, the problems it has, if you have them is a major downfall.

What kind of lockups are you getting? I just got a Prime the other day it updated twice right away and was fine. I then rooted and unlocked it, then flash over clock kernel to 1.7. Been Gaming 9 mm, Shadow Gun THD, and more. Also Splashtop THD works great. I use xScope Browser for web browsing set as desktop and works as nice as my laptop.
Oh, my Gosh! This is so awesome! Thank you so much for this comparison! Tonight, for once, I can sleep soundly. I have been worried so much about the iPad and how it compares to my Prime. Yes!

Cant really have an impartial comparison when you start of by saying you have and love your prime. You didnt really say anything negative about the prime and the pros you had with the ipad you later say its only a minimal advantage to the prime.
Hope the mod closes this thread.

Actually, there's probably comparatively little of that extra RAM available for running programs. A large proportion of it will be taken up by the frame buffer which will be 4 times larger than on the ipad 2.
Also, when you start getting apps with resources optimised for the iPad 3, those resources will also be much larger, and consume more memory when used.

Dave

The text quality of the iPad 3 is off the charts, whatever else you do or don't like about it. It's the best reading screen I've ever seen. There is zero pixelation, it's incredibly nice on the eyes. The Prime has a good screen but there is no comparison for text. I don't use the Nook app but I use Kindle on both, it's a retina upgraded app, the text quality is as near perfect as I've seen on an electronic device. Font size is adjustable and great, is there a specific function you want compared? I could throw Nook on them if there's something specific you need to know. Even the Google Book reader has gotten very nice, I'd say the iPad has much better reading apps (surprise) except I love the calibre catalog app on Android. You can recreate it with Stanza on ios but it's not as good.
We already have plenty of these threads - go post in there.
can't believe this program enables you to play games for the pc at full speed and rez. Great for the Transformer. Just need keyboard and mouse, then i can kick arse like batman in arkham asylum and over 200 games.
I believe that the future of online gaming has gone a new step ahead.
What is your opinion?
Good concept. Not quite there yet though. Too many critical faults to be able to compete with a console.
Unfortunately most of the games I saw on there suck. I like the concept but there aren't enough titles to lock in my purchase.
Now if they could get some titles like skyrim or battlefield 3 then that would be a different story.

Most of the games suck? I own Batman Arkym City and Asylum, Split Second, Dead Island, Saints Row the Third, L.A Noire and NBA 2K12 and they all run flawlessly. Time for you to check again
I highly recommend the service, as long as you don't have really bad wifi, it works great on the Prime, I use it every night

and to add to my above post, the service is not available to apple ipad/iphone users. Another notch for Android lovers!
omg i'm in love with this app !!! GREAT ! now my friend with ipad 2 will be amazed what android can do
I buy this app, but app is not soo great! Have bugs and a gameplay is better with my finger than mouse and keyboard! App need more update to get be great, my review is 3.5 stars / 5 stars

Hey man thank you for letting us know. I've been waiting for this game forever. @$6.99 not too bad at all.
I have had issues playing some games on a tablet. Mainly because of the touch screen. Maybe use a bluetooth mouse? Would that work?
Data download is taking forever. Must be bogged down. It needs 1.7gb of space so make sure you have enough in your Prime. I'm almost maxed out from all these game's data.
Game working perfectly on my prime!
Been downloading data for an hour n half now and we have 20mb up/down at work. So hows the game compared to Mass Effect?
---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------
Finally done downloading data after 1 hour 40 min. Graphics arent bad at all. Mass Effect has slight edge. Game play is pretty good just like nova 2. I do see lag though. Not as smooth as MC3. Overall not bad. Now time to go play.
Is it playable with a gamepad?
gotta have it. I will be getting this tomorrow. I have to make room...lol. these games are getting huge. time to delete stuff I don't hardly play and delete movies. I have like 12 whole movies stored in my prime.

I'm not sure about gamepad but I'm sure sixaxis with ps3 controller will work. Almost the same button config as MC3 so it should work. It actually kinda reminds me of MC3 since youre on earth but youre just in the future.

Ok got it back working. Had to go to settings then apps and cleared cache and data on the game. This next step might not be necessary but I renamed the game folder (/android/data/com.gameloft.ANMP.GloftN3HM) to something else then opened up the game. It tried to download data again but I cancelled after several bytes. Went back to game folder and deleted the newly created one and renamed the original back. Opened game again and it redownloaded about 10 kb more then the game started. Had to start all over but hasn't locked up yet. Maybe my first download this afternoon wasnt 100% complete and was causing my lock ups.

I have no idea why Gameloft doesn't leverage Google's free hosting for game resource files. I can't stand the way EA and Gameloft do things.

i just wasted 5,5€ on this game. FPS is so low its not even playable (way below 20fps by the looks of it). graphics looks good, but its hard to play like this. i was hoping that tegra3 would run it faster then this.

It's not the Tegra 3, it's the optimization of the game. It's not optimized at all for our processors..
as i know gameloft, we wont be seeing any optimization in long long long time
btw anyone noticed that there is no blur effect on tf prime version? it actually looks and runs better on SGSII... wth?!

so its set to some kind of low level details (as when you compare ipad2 version with the new ipad) but on ipad it makes sense, because of the increased resolution.

Yup They don't support for very long that's for sure. I can't play NOVA2 because it doesn't support ICS, so I'm SOL on that one. But Nova 3 is working just fine for me.

Ya I noticed that too. I wanted to see how smooth the ipad version was and besides the blurr effect added to it the game is much smoother on the ipad. But we all know Gameloft is apple whores so ofcourse they're going to make their game more enhanced on ipad (referring to the blurr effect).
Its kind of a bummer though that we have tegra 3 device and although we get additional graphic enhancement on Tegra 3 optimized games yet we lose out on the ones that arent optimized for ours and suffer in performance. Id rather lose all the fancier graphics over better performance.
