Which version? 2? 2HD? What model did you download it for?
please answer!
Man these forums are dead =\
I've tried most of Gameloft's portfolio, and I've experimented with versions for many different devices. Unfortunately, even if they do run, they don't seem to run correctly. I've been using the HD versions, and they all run in a very small area in the middle of the screen. It seems that Gameloft has a bit of work to do on the optimization front. They just got around to optimizing most of their catalog for the Galaxy Tab 7, and they are starting to optimize some games for the Xoom, so we should be seeing some of their more popular games within a few weeks. If you're looking for high quality games, you should download the Tegra zone app and check out the games in there. I can say from experience that Riptide GP, Gun Brothers, and Galaxy on Fire 2 are amazing.
Gameloft's Asphalt 6 HD works fine too
No issues with the game on GT10.1
-Asphalt 6 is good. Theres quite a few cars, it's not really much different than Asphalt 5 though.
-N.O.V.A. HD kinda worked. It FC'd too much to play though and the controls were badly messed up.
-Modern Combat 2 boots up through the video at the beginning, but crashes instantly after.
-Spider Man also FC's alot like N.O.V.A. If it didn't FC as much as it does it would be alright.
I'll update this list as I try more, but so far it is just a ton of failure except for Asphalt 6. The graphics were fine.

I agree with your suggestions, but I don't know if Riptide is worth the money. It only has like 4 tracks and then it does all of the tracks in reverse and they all look the same.

Yeah, that's true, $7.00 for 6 tracks is a bit overpriced. The graphics are nice, if not a bit boring, but the other games are quite awesome. I also like Cordy, Apparatus, and I'm really looking forward to a few of the upcoming games in the tegra zone. Arma II looks awesome, Trainz Simulator (if reasonably priced) might be fun, and I'm just waiting for Monster Madness to launch.
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.
Mine is clash of clans....works great on high resolution
Csr racing too
Ive played modern combat with no hiccups and i really enjoy the rayman jungle and fiesta run games. Also downloaded sonic racing transformed, seems to be a solid mario kart like racer.

As soon as the bug causing it to crash is fixed, XCOM will be the best game on this tablet IMO.

I just downloaded that and it's crashing also, almost 4 gigs it better be good. Did you try to delete the folder in the root of SD card? I did but still crashes. I'm gonna try to delete then open again, maybe it's like when gta San Andreas came out and you have to delete then re add the folder. When I get home I'll try and see if that worked and report back if it does.

I second that.
Impossible and infinite flight (both with full resolution) works more than great.
NFS Most Wanted works great but not the best on racing games.
Minecraft pocket edition, fancy & smooth. (Playing at full resolution!)
And other games works more than well in this tablet. (I played almost every game I had at 60 fps).

ravensword shadowlands seemed pretty good but i never got around to really playing it as i didnt care for the controls without a controller.
asphalt 8 runs really well for a racing game, but i liked ridge racer slipstream, even through the framerate was horrible.
hill climb racing is always fun and flappy bird is easier on the big screen.
punch hero was one of my favorites on my epic and it runs great.
segas sonic ports run really well but you need a controller. sonic just doesnt lend itself to touchscreens
i really want to try playing square enixs games, like the final fantasy ports and chaos rings, but i dont feel like paying $15 for a game i might play a few times
BADLANDS is amazing and very addictive. its like flappy bird, but mixed with limbo. its a great game that i highly recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frogmind.badland
A good side scrolling runner game that doesnt seem to get any notice is Polara. I got it as the FAOTD, but i really liked it.

Agree. I expected it to be alot longer, seemed more like a demo than a full length game.
Great thread !
A small question. Does anybody know a good fighting game (such as street fighter, which i cannot find in play store) for our tablet?
Thank you in advance !
Asphalt 8 and Monument Valley

Hi all,
Coming from the Nexus 5 scene, I'm surprised to find that there isn't a thread dedicated to games on our beloved Z3, seen as it has PlayStation support, how can we not?
I think a list should be compiled for games which people play on the Z3.
Myself, I'm not much of a gamer, but c a new start the list off with:
Dead Trigger 2
Post your findings here, or even pm me and I'll add the games toothed list, you never know you may find some new games along the way.
happy gaming!

In general when I have no controller I'll just play fruit ninja or ngog rong (dragonball online)
Other than that Im not much of a fan of the Android games and i think its because I absolutely hate touch controls. So for me the best thing about this z3 is how easy it is to connect a ds4 controller. Playing asphalt with the controller is a much muchhh better experience than the touch controls. I wish more games were optimized for the ds4. And i hope there's an Xperia play 2 some day.
Remote play is amazing but sony really need to release their bloody game control mount thing.
Also use kainy. The setup took a bit of time but being able to play many pc games through this is also nice. Obviously not as good as remote play but still something good to have.
So I play:
Fruit ninja
Ngok rong(dragonball online)
Asphalt 8 -ds4
Gta sa -ds4
Pc games using Kainy and ds4
Ps4 games using Remote play
I have the Nyko mount (search amazon) for my DS4. Works great.
I also have a MOGA controller, it's a pity Sony didn't map the DS4 to standard HID controls as the MOGA is more compatible with more games. I understand the need for rumble, lightbar, and touchpad in the remote play app, but I wished it switched profiles regardless.
PSA: The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead are both Android games now. TWAU seems to run just fine (a frame drop here or there, but it does no detriment to the gameplay)

Leo's Fortune and just started TWAU.
Might start playing Dead Trigger again now that I can use a DS4.
"The Room" really shines on the Z3. Somehow it looks better than it did on my G3.
Riptide GP2 a really fun JetSki racing game.
Tetris of course
and Leo's fortune
I've been curious about this. Does the DualShock 4 support take the place of the previous DualShock 3 support that previous Xperia Z phones included? Does the DualShock 4 work the same for the games that had DualShock 3 support? If not, is the Z3 still compatible with the DualShock 3?
At one point I had the Sixaxis Controller app on my phone to use one of my old Sixaxis controllers, but I got rid of that when I got a Moga Hero Power since is offered the extra battery and had a built-in clamp. I've been curious if this would be better to stick with instead of trying to pair up a DualShock controller, but the placement of the power and volume buttons has me worried (especially on the Z3 Compact). Those of you with Moga controllers, how well does the Z3 fit with the retention clamp?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Well I guess I found an answer to part of my question. The Z3 is still compatible with the DS3, but pairing still requires a USB-OTG cable. The DS4 can pair wirelessly. This is according to the Z3 Compact's online manual:
http://userguide.sonymobile.com/ref...TV-using-a-DUALSHOCK-wireless-controller.html
I'm still curious whether the DS4 works the same in games that support DS3, but it probably does.
Playing Dead Trigger 2 the most at the moment
Turn down the antialiasing/upsampling/downsampling etc...

Just turning the settings down a little means all PSP games run fine,
and with turbo on PPSSPP using a Sony Xperia Z3.
Currently addicted to Dead Trigger 2, but just started The Room. Have all the emulators currently available of course (Drastic DS is awesome), and Dead Space is amazing with headphones.
