Official gaming - HTC Droid DNA

Pls post all game related issues here. What for? Well I don't know about u guys Buh the game incompatibility issue is killing me...I really want to enjoy gaming on my DNA....we all know the gpu is good enough for most graphic intensive games out there, and even tough that screen is demanding, this phone should have no problem handling games. I have been forwarding reports to game devs via email....and I know they will work on it if we pressure them...so post the game, the issue u having and developer...I will forward it to them.....I am one hell of a gamer and I can't watch my DNA sit there like that,when it has one of the mist powerful CPUs and GPUs out there.
Apart from complaining, you can share your gaming experience on this monster....and help other folks with issues...

Ok here are a few:
Need for speed most wanted- When side loaded the game starts and loads only show HUD in race unfortunately
Dark meadow - says it's compatible in store, crashes on menu
Galaxy on fire 2 - small buttons (resolution issue)
All I can think of right now... Aside from those this phone is a beast with anything I throw at it

Something I'll bet a lot of us didn't figure on when drooling over this 1080p resolution
Very few games work. Knowing what I know now, I would not have traded my unlimited
data plan to get this phone. Sure, I can watch beautiful Netflix movies but, I have to worry
about data now. I just want a good GOLF game really.

Game play?

I am thinking of going with the TB. Anyone know for sure if it will play a game like pocket legends better than the dinc? Almost went with iPhone just because of how smooth that game is on there but in the end just couldn't do it.
Thanks!

Since it plays on my Nexus S just as good if not better then my Ipod Touch. I would bet that it Plays great on this phone too.
Games?? Android has games?
the ram is way over kill I doubt it will have any problem running anything anytime soon... I just want to play gun bros on a bigger screen than my incredible...
is your incredible rooted? cause I have never had any problem with lag on anything I ever run
I actually heard a guy talking on youtube unboxing this phone saying it benchmarks better 3d than the tegra 2. I hope nvidia is fail because motorola is trying to stay afloat with it.

Not many applications for the Tab!

Hi guys!
Is it just me or the galaxy tab is really bad at running applications? I cant believe that running a 2D game such as xconstruction would run extremely bad on the tab due to the streching of the screen. In addition, I have downloaded many applications and games and ended up uninstalling around 60% of them because they dont run very well, while others show nothing but a black screen!
I am really shocked by the poor performance of the tab! This device is full of conflicts! Some 3D games run very well while most run badly. Browsing is good but pdf viewing is laggy and bad! I have always admired google and defended Tabs with honeycomb against iPad, but I think I will have to revert back to iPad for the sake of a market filled with applications and excellent documents viewing quality.
I hate being biased, but the Tab 10.1 lacks the performance despite of the Dual Core processor and 1Gb ram. What do you guys think? I welcome hearing positives and negatives about it. Would anyone be kind enough to recommend apps that are fully working with no bugs? The same goes to games suggestions too!

i have never really had any kind of problem with running games on my tab i think one or two have just had a black screen or forced close but they were phone aps that didnt look too good anyways
you may have a cluttered up tab that means that it doesnt run very well but other than that i dont really know why games arnt working
a few good games are apparatus, spirit, fieldrunners hd and superstick man golf which all work perfectly on my tab
hope ive helped
Use the apps and games from http://www.tablified.com/. They all are optimized for tablets.

I really don't think you can blame the hardware for an apps poor performance. If you really want to see what the hardware can do play some of the THD games from Tegrazone app.

Thanks for the correction for the word "many" apps. It is true that English isn't my first language, I think that's the effect of a sleeping pill heheh.
Thank you all for passing by. I will have a look at the link suggested and will try the games that were menioned. I do like the way games run in the nvidia tegrazone, yet some are a bit poor reaching the required Fps.

Sentinel 3 Homeworld is the best tower defense game out there for tabs!
I know about around 400 apps they are running on the 10.1 inch tab. Where do you live? Android Market or google issues?

Couldn't have been said better, Totally agree!

Does this phone have issues gaming also?

According to Gizmodo in their HTC One X review, the phone had issues playing 3D games. They specifically mentioned Temple Run, and the phone not picking up certain inputs due to the CPU being overloaded or something. Sounds iffy to me, so I'm seeing if anyone is able to replicate this kind of thing with the LTEVO, thanks!

When playing Temple Run, I notice an occasional blip where it hesitates for just a moment. Enough to make you smash into a tree though if you're not careful. Doesn't happen often thought, and I can't find a pattern of when it happens.

Playing Stair Dismount on mine there is a lot of slowdown
Def not bc of lack of power I'm sure they just need to be optimized for the EVO..
If you think about it, there are only three Android phones with HD screens on the market right now. Most games are probably not yet optimized for that resolution as well. Even Apple doesn't have HD screens in their phones yet. Handset HD rendering is a rather novel feature.

I remember when I bought the OG Evo, it seemed to everyone like it was underperforming in the game department. People said it would be fixed with updates and it didn't work because of this or that, but eventually we just realized the hardware wasn't up to snuff. I don't want to make the same mistake with my next purchase, so how bad is it really? Are there any high-end games that run perfectly? How does shadowgun play?
I've played all those games on my 3d ..and they played great..so with a greatly improved CPU and a oc-d gpu its def not hardware ...the s4 is top notch..and ur not go.na have too choice since almost all high end phones coming to the US will utilize the s4

I agree but something is wrong I am having small issues with many games that ran fine on the 3d and OG. For instance just downloaded Nba Jam tonight and it studders and lags the whole time un playable. This game was running pretty good on my EVO last week.
So I agree it is not the hardware but something needs fixed. Sounds like the HD screen issue may be to blame

I will go check it out. I am not saying that it is the issue but someone mentioned it and it sounds possible that these may not be optimized for our screen yet I know when qhd was first hitting the market some apps had trouble with it. It has to be something though because there is no way this hardware cannot run apps that ran fine on my OG it just doesn't add up.
Any one get Demolition Inc working on this thing yet?
Shadowrun plays nice and smooth no issues with that game.

Possible Fix
I don't have the 4g LTE yet I am a current 3D owner. Am trying to decide between GNex and LTEvo but that's another topic...
From what I've read somewhere else (can't quote where from) the fix was to bump your minimum cpu speeds up a notch and will probably fix most/all your lag. Use Antutu or other choice program (rooted only of course) and bump your min clock speed up one or two spots and I bet you don't run into issues.
If this doesn't work then ignore...thanks!
Shadowrun plays really smooth, and I'm amazed with the graphics. Looks sweet!
I was hoping this phone would game better than my gnex but so far it's not doing what I had hoped for. GTA3 has awful audio quality and I have to turn the settings down to low and lower res and other settings to get it to play lag free. I don't think it's any better than my gnex was. I am hoping the game needs an update.
Well I'm disappointed that a lot of the best looking 3D games do not work.
Not Working:
All Gameloft games EXCEPT Order & Chaos (but it still crashes some)
Even the brand new N.O.V.A. 3 doesn't work
Mass Effect Infiltrator
Dead Space
Field Runners
Working:
GTA III
Shadowgun
Minecraft
Deer Hunter Reloaded
Galaxy on Fire 2
Gentlemen, the phone has not even officially been launched yet.
Once game devs figure it out the games will run fine on our hardware. It is fact that our phones are more powerful than the 3D or the Gnex so it just needs to be optimized. On top of that, imagine how our phones will fly on a nice aosp Rom...

Whats the main limitation(s) for the S3s gaming capability?

Good evening ladies and gents.
I'm about to jump off the fence and buy a new phone (and since I'm posting here I guess you've figured that I'm seriously considering the S3). But before I choose I want to know which games I can expect to be able to play. I stumbled onto the Tegra Zone a few months after I bought my Desire HD and was quite disappointed that it didn't support the content. I know the S3 doesn't have Tegra but stil a lot of the games are still supported/available.
I've now read through dozens of threads but I'm unable to find out how one figures out which games the S3 can run. In some cases I see thats it's just the "ultra high" setting that isn't supported (1. is this correct?). 2. Is there a different version of most games that are meant for non-Tegra devices or is it the exact game but some of which lack the highest graphics settings? Lastly: 3. Are there any games that S3 owners won't be able to play in the foreseeable future?
I would really appreciate input to any of my questions. Have a good day/night
It runs Mali-400 games and if you decide to Root just install Chainfire 3D and you can run most Tegra and any other games.
Gaming is very good. Thats all i have to say
Sorry i couldnt be of more help.
Have u tried looking on the playstore? With a friends phone or on the web page. Google searched? There is a thread about good ganes in the s3

S3 can play anything but Tegra3 Specific games, there is an app made by Chainfire it's called "Chainfire3D" where it emulates all different graphic chips in the market, so basically you can play all non-tegra and tegra games that aren't Tegra3 specifc as mentioned above. The app needs root in order to work. Dead trigger is the latest game to come out and it plays VERY nice and smooth. Shadowgun tegra2 version works, Pinball THD, Fruit Ninja THD, NBA Jam works nice PES2011, Blood and Glory work pretty well... I'm not much into gaming, those are the games I own, and I can say they are the ones that will hammer the CPU and GPU pretty good. I'm not sure what you mean with "ultra high settings" everything works. remember that the screen size is 1280x800 so some games that are made for smaller screen will have black bars or some cropping or some weird behavior, but I've only seen that on "time killer" games, can't recall which game was that showed this behavior, but still playable.
Hope that straight things out a bit for you.
Chain fire helps with some tegra games but it's not perfect eg sonic 4 ep 2 lags like treacle and some tegra games don't work at all. However the graphics hardware in the gs3 is the fastest in the world for a smartphone so there's a lot of potential. But tbh gaming without hardware buttons is pretty crap anyway.

Thank you all for your replies.
I had already read through the post you mentioned slking1989 but even though it assured me that a lot of quality games are supported it didn't give me a definite answer regarding how to determine beforehand if a game will run or not (like "system requirements" or similar). I'm guessing the reason HQ games doesn't show up in the Play store on my current phone is that it doesn't support themn thus it's no points showing them but since I don't have the phone yet I wanted to do some research.
My choice is between the S3 and the HOX but after your replies the S3 was pushed further ahead in the race (only kept back by the insecurity around Tegra games really). Now I just have to decide which color to get.
This may help u decide

I haven't tried it on my Prime yet, but it looks good on my Samsung Galaxy S3. They probably didn't increase the resolution for the Prime (or any android tablet) once again. We will always play second to Apple when it comes to Gameloft, until game pirating diminishes on Android's end, they are just not willing to put the extra manpower to optimized the game for different android devices.

I wouldnt feel so bad pirating gameloft games if they didnt screw devices over so much. Really, all it takes is a high end version for the big three (tegra, qualcom, and the other one forget the name) for HD devices, another set of reduced graphics for lower end devices, and thats it! Why make a seperate game optimized for each device? I KNOW the tablet version of a game will look good on my prime. Its got the horsepower to play anything you throw at it, even if i have to use chainfire, so why make it so damn difficult for me to play games i know i like? Gameloft is one of the only companies i know of that has problems making games for android, everyone else seems to deal with different devices just fine, making one game version (or sometimes a couple) that work for every device, or sometimes a HD version and a non HD version
No, i have no problem pirating Gameloft games, and if they DO come up with a game that i can buy ONCE and have it work across my multiple high end devices like anything else on the google market then maybe i will change my mind. Until then im not sending them one cent to their online store, especially if its not through google.
Never liked any of gameloft games. Most of their games are just bad clones of other games.

Wtf is wrong with u guys this game is pretty awsome! my only issue is that all game developers aren't including controller compatibility for android which i believe should be a must, as connecting a controller to any android device is the simplest thing ever.

I'm with you on this, and not only gameloft, other companies does that too, shadowgun, fruit ninja, samurai vengeance 2, guerrilla bob, cut the rope and so many other games have a thd version and a regular version, I really hate having to pay twice for the same game just to avoid it seeing awful, I dont really get how dificult could it be to make a game like dead trigger that gets better graphics depending on the hardware

Gameloft even not optimized this game for Tegra 3. Like reflection effect , Motion Blur.
YOU CAN LOOK BETWEEN GALAXY S III (OR OTHER PHONES) AND PRIME , GRAPPHIC MUCH DIFFERENT. YOU CAN'T NOTICED THAT!?
I wait for this game about a month and they even not optimized for our Prime, Like other gameloft games.
If you make some games in Android , you must test your apps on every gpu chips. Why other DEVs can do? You release after iOS for month and you even not fix ANY issues. GAMELOFT sucks.
