[GAMES] Nexus 10 Gaming Thread

jarjar124 · Nov 18, 2012

So some of us has the nexus 10 in our hands now and this thing is a beast (at certain times) and gaming would soon be one of those key features of the tablet after it is optimized. So now we can start discussing about gaming!

What are some games you tried/ plan to try first?

What are some games that you would recommend?

What are some games are you looking forward to?

We can discuss anything among the topic of gaming!

I'll start first saying I was looking forward to trying wild blood out, but it just looks blown up. Hopefully gameloft can update it to be on par and compatible with the nexus 10!

I can firstly contribute by saying that none of my tegra games work sadly...

Can't play Sim City 3, Galaxy on Fire 2, few other expensive games

Asphalt 7 runs perfect, been playing it without a hitch.

i think ill start doing a list of working games and non working games...so keep them coming!

Nova 3, modern combat 3, need for speed hot pursuit, the dark knight rises, and minecraft all work good. Although minecraft isn't as smooth as my gs3. Obviously isn't optimized. It'll get done though.

Shadow gun, chaos, shadow gun dead zone, need for speed most wanted, nova 2, asphalt 6, asphalt 7, all those work good as well.

I've played NFS Most Wanted, Rip Tide and others and they worked great but I honestly prefer gaming on my Nexus 7... is it just me?

NBA Jam doesn't work. It launches but its tiny on the screen and then just closes.

Hey,

Sorry, what I meant by not working was that I couldn't download them, incompatible, did you sideload yours? I'd love to give them a try if I could figure out how to download them.

On the note of Tegra games; there's even a mod to enable Tegra-effects on DEAD TRIGGER; which sounds like tegra-effects aren't really.. tegra-specific at all (as in, if you have a GPU capable of processing the extra load, it should work without issue).

Shadow gun dead zone is working, anomaly warzone HD is working too.

Awesome, do you have a link for that?

I tried to modify my build prop to get the tegra stuff from market but it seems the new security measures in 4.2 are preventing me from mounting system read/write in root explorer. Makes me sad for the future of tinkering with Android

Plus modifying the build prop doesnt work for dead trigger anymore. In the game it still says ultra but the buildprop reverts back every time you start the game

I figured out the issue with my root, got that sorted now, I tried using the Nexus 7 build prop but it illed my market so no go, I need to find just the correct part of the build prop to edit, I think perhaps it's the signature.

As for it reverting. I can't see how, if system is read only, the game can't be causing that.

Has anyone else tried GTA III yet? I would of figured the N10 to be able to handle it on highest, but it seems the screen resolution being at 100% causes a great drop in FPS... 50% I think is around 50-60 FPS, and I think 100% is like 20-30 FPS.

Also here's some other games with lower-then-expected performance:

Beat-Hazard (real choppy menu, in-game is better, but still not smooth)
osu!droid (multi-touch latency when using built-in player)
Minecraft PE (just overall laggy)
Beats (FPS is 30-40, for a simplistic game like this...)

I tried gta III at 100% and seemed great, no lag at all. On another note, GTA Vice City announced on December 6th, I cannot wait

I've been playing Minecraft PE quite a bit and haven't noticed any slowness at all. Given you can see almost the entire map on one screen.

Do you happen to notice any major speed/smoothness/FPS change when taking the screen resolution from 100% to 0%?

I agree with you. Setting it to 100% does lag. Don't know how that other guy isn't lagging.
