Hey guys, I am considering bailing on my fascinate for a play. If you would be so helpful as just to reply yes or no if you believe thee play would be a better phone. Thanks!
Edit: My sincere apologies for the wrong section, just noticed. Mods please move to general.

I Came from the i9000, the only thing better about that was the screen.
There is no lag like the Samsung it juts works in fact it all just works strictly speaking we dont need a custom rom on this as it's pretty good as stock (not that we arnt trying of course)
So if you love games buy it, if you like games buy it, if your not bothered about games dont buy it.

ha ha thats funny my bro had an atrix for about 20 minutes till it had a meltdown coming out of the damn store!
Of course ! Go get it
If you won't miss the much better screen of the Fascinate, the Play is a very good choice. It has a very solid Interface without much fluff, is developer-friendly, has awesome gaming controls, solid (not great) cameras and good GPS. The screen however isn't all that great. It has good colors, but the maximum brightness is pretty crappy, it's not very visible in sunlight and the picture sometimes 'drags' a little. Nothing that would ruin the run, but it's noticeable.

I agree, the play is great for gaming but it is lacking in power compared to some of the latest phones.
My buddy got a free play and let me play with it 4 a night. If your a gamer, the controller is a serious selling point. On my desire hd, gaming is fun but touch screen sucks. On the play, I was loving gaming. Played ocarina of time. Set the controls to hardware and left the c buttons on screen. Ran smooth too. Same with final fantasy 9 on fpse. No lag at all. I get lag on my desire hd which is overall a better phone spec wise
Maybe it has a better video card? Or its optimized 4 gaming so specs mean nothing.

i have a desire HD too and agree GPU performance is better on the play, quallcomm said it developed more mature adreno drivers for the play, maybe once the play is hacked, a dev like snq could port the play drivers to the DHD
Adding in another yes, mine just came in the mail today. After spending the night with it I am absolutely pleased with my purchase. Finally, I can game properly on my phone. It's a really responsive phone, too. Gingerbread is snappy on this thing.
Yes!
Play is a really good phone, I love it`s controls and on stock firmware it really is good unlike with some other phones I have had where I just wanted to change to a custom rom because of them being boring or buggy.
Play may not have as powerful a processor as some other smart phones, but it`s gpu makes up for it and gives the power it needs for great gaming.
Sony do need to get their asses in gear for the Playstation releases though, right now their line up is crap and not getting much update.

apart from the Dual core tegra 2, the quallcomm scorpion is the most powerful CPU on the market, infact it's its GPU adreno 205 witch lacks in power
I downloaded Dungeon Defenders today, rebooted my phone, loaded the game, and it crashes every time I try to play it for more than 5 minutes or so. The game runs veryyy smooth thanks to our processors and GPU speed, but it simply crashes for no reason at random times. Anyone else have this problem?
I'm having the same problem, and I really want to play this game lol.
Trendyent recognizes the problem and says they are trying to fix it but I don't see a fix soon =(
yup same problem here, i emailed them about it and they said they are trying to get a couple units from HTC to test on. They had me send a logcat of the crash. so hopefully that will help.
I think that game is made only for Tegra 2 phones
I have the same issue with Dungeon Defenders and lots of other apps. At first I thought it was the phone, so exchanged it. 3rd one is doing the samething.
Dang, at least I'm not the only one having problems. I know it isn't Tegra 2 exclusive because the Desire HD, Droid 2, etc. are supported and same with even the OGVO. It's also a problem with our sister phone, the Sensation. I hope they patch this soon because when it was running on my phone it was siiiilky smooth.
Same problem

Have you heard the horror stories of how gameloft treats its employees?
Obviously a company like that isn't worried about making a game work on more devices. Its about making new games to sell for higher price.
i dont think it's the game's fault. I think its more likely to be an issue with the phone's rom. whilst the phone has 1gb of ram (dundef only needs 256) the new sense 3.0 uses up wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much memory. I mean. With ALL my apps killed (as many as possible) there is still only about 200-300mb of ram free(this is on a custom rom as well). On stock roms i remeber i only got less than 200mb of free ram and htc has made sure the oom lowkiller will not kill any sense stuff(launcher, lockscreen and so forth).
so maybe the oom lowkiller is killing dungeondefenders.
Woww. I forgot about this game.
I just put it on my SGT and have gotten nothing done in my real life.
THANKS EMPIRE!
I'm trying to think but nothing happens.

That's interesting. Is anyone running CM or any AOSP rom that can try to run the game on the Evo 3D?
I'm trying to find a tutorial I came across on here that tells you how to alter the build prop on your phone so that the market (and apps, I assume?) think your phone is a Tegra device. I can't find it, though. You guys think that would make a difference in this case?
As soon as i click the icon to open it i get an fc and im on synergy rom

I am starting to think that thia phone not so awesome for gaming with titles like order and chaos and nova not being available. am I right? Should I return my phone for an IPhone4? Or should I wait abit for software compatibility?
Android is still developing in terms of the game department. iphone has slightly better apps and better gaming offerings because it has a bigger userbase, but android has better hardware, it just needs some polishing. if you want an iphone then get one. no sense in being unhappy. The 4S is a nice device but too much of an incremental upgrade. I got an ipad 2 and quickly grew weary of ios. so I got an android phone after the disappointing announcement of the 4S. for me it just wasn't what I needed at the moment, but that's not to say its a 'bad' device. if you want better games get an iphone. If you want to be able to tweak your device like crazy and have a fast and responsive phone with a big screen and 4G then keep this phone.
I just recently downloaded Nova 2 HD & its awesome!! Just sayin..

To Greatly Improve Gaming:
Step 1: Root the phone
Step 2: Install Chainfire3D from market. Afterwards install the Nvidia pluggin and set it to be default (Google it).
Step 3: Download TegraZone
Step 4: Enjoy the games
How do you get nova on sghi777? Rooted? Mind giving me an outline?
The gaming will be fine on this phone. The big thing is Gameloft has yet to make their games on the Market listed as compatible with the i777. I can't imagine that will last too much longer.
I downloaded a whole package of gameloft games from another site( Google it) and have nova2 , assassins creed and quite a few more. All look and play top notch on this phone.

Gameloft is protesting the android market. Go to gameloft.com to get their titles, including nova, etc. This phone plays them beautifully, sure the iphone has a wide variety, but quality beats quantity eh?

Yes get an iPhone 4. That's the perfect solution to not being able to figure something out that really only takes 3 minutes. I've been playing Nove2, Gangstar Miami HD, and a few others for a week now. Get stuck on an OS that decides what you will and should use. Don't keep the ability to make the phone EXACTLY how you want it.

Has something to do with the fact that google gets a certain % off of each sale same with apple. Only difference is since apple gives the developers no choice on how to sell the app on their platform gameloft has to deal with it, since google does give the developers a choice gameloft chooses to backout to get more money. Kind of a shame since if you really look at it gameloft would make more money if they would sell it on the google market place since users would be able to easily see it and not know that these games were even available outside of the market.

Thanks for this man, I was able to get a couple Tegra games to work. Though the Backbreaker, Riptide, and Bang Bang Racing don't work.
XDA DEVS are the most talented guys in the Planet when it comes for Android platform,i know that a lot of Devs have been creating such amazing apps and mods for years, so it comes to mind that they created a lot of GBA emulators and Atari consoles emulators on Android devices but why not the PSP?? i strongly think that THE GALAXY S3 can HANDLE "Any" Psp game because of obvious reasons Ram-QuadCore Processor HD display-Battery life-Etc!!Please Any thoughts speak your mind below.Thanks guys!
i have a galaxy s3 and if i have a psp emulator for it ... i think i am never going to sell it
untill ps2 or ps vita emulator comes out ... and mah device cant handel it ....
:good::fingers-crossed:
Interesting idea must say.

It would be awesome if we could play patapon on our S3! ^^
This would be near impossible as no PSP games support multi-core functionality. Also, to emulate a key part of an OS is ridiculous. Even if they did make it work, it will run extremely slowly. Most emulators require at least 6-10 times the processing power of the original device. If you took the PSP-1000 (Phat PSP) which is 333MHz, and multiplied it by 6-10, you need a single core running at least 2GHz to 3.3GHz.

Umm no. Not any time soon. There isn't even a pc emulator for the psp around and no one seems interested mostly because every subsequent psp game comes with a higher firmware requirement which would be a pain in the ass for devs to crack every time.

Epsxe after 4 years of hiatus they came back and they made epsxe app on Android i think they're headed to make PS2 games run on high-end Devices like the Galaxy S3.let's just just hope it's right.
Really looking forward to getting one of these. Will take me back to my first tablet, the Dell Streak 7. One thing that concerns me is being an Intel processor game compatibility might be quite bad. Although I might be wrong of course.
I pretty much mostly use tablets for gaming and browsing so I am hoping to check for some opinions. Does it seem to be compatible with most games? Any games noticeably missing from Play store?
Games I play are Order and Chaos Duels, Modern Combat 4, Gameloft Live! and Lets Golf 3.
If there are no big problems with game compatibility im definately going to get one but if quite alot of games are missing from the play store I might look elsewhere.
Well I am guessing your using the android version. The only app that seem was a problem was the PayPal app :/

Of those, all are venue 8 compatible (according to google play; I didn't actually install them on my venue 8) except for Gameloft Live. It seems Gameloft Live isn't compatible with my 2012 nexus 7 or my nexus 5 either, for whatever reason.

I was not concerned about the performance, but the compatibility, as in, will those games run at all or not? my nexus 7 is incompatible with some games and they can't be downloaded from Play Store because of this.
