why are games much smoother on my bros iPad mini? i love that thing.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] androidskillz:
I think a5 is way bettter
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Nospin:
Optimization. No reason we can't have games that pretty and smooth other than developer laziness.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] androidskillz:
Don't blame developers. Go create some tegra apps and then reply
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
There is no one else to blame. Most developers can do this right but several cannot or don't or won't.

Think of it as a console vs a PC. Consoles are basically 6 year old PCs but have a singular hardware that can be, overtime, learned to optimise and pushed. The iDevices are like 6 year old consoles. The hardware and software doesn't change much so things can be pushed. The OS is basic and leaves more room for wiggle.

Android is like a PC. Always pushing the limits and technology across multiple hardware configurations. Some devs like to utilize this and push while others just slap crap to make a quick buck.

One thing Gameloft does not like are Tegra devices. They don't code for tegra at all so we're categorized in a general basic install group to make the game run on the lowest possible denominator.

Maybe Nvidia could also be to blame. They are strict on their code and we suffer.

Nvidia could have a good thing here by trying to make a singular gaming platform, but until it can better handle games not specific to the Tegra (like snapdradons and S4s), it will continue to fail.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MaNFr3:
They're payed for this. So they have to done their work.

------------

Devices are great' but there isn't a common way to develop on a huge range of different hardware. This problem doesn't exist on ios

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Nospin:
There is a reason why all the games that nvidia throws money at to make Tegra optimized all look great. Games look great on iOS devices because developers optimized the hell out of them for very specific platforms.

Android and it's huge device diversity makes that difficult, but the lack of optimization BY DEVELOPERS is the reason why some games run great on single core snapdragons and chug on Tegra 3.

Period.

Player911 is so right in his comment, I double it
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Erachter:
Dungeon Hunter 4 on Galaxy S3 runs much better.

It even has Very High settings option.(on N7 there is only High)

And it has shadows, the effects are much more better and in general the graphics are much better.

I don't understand why.

Tegra is meant for gaming as far as I know.The GPU is better on N7 than on S3 (just look at Real Racing 3), while the CPU is worser(my conclusions.Look at GTA VC).
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] PVL_93_RU:
Yet Vice City runs at stable ~50 FPS 90% of the time on highest possible graphic settings

nexus 7 plays gta vice city better than the galaxy s4. Tegra 3 shines when games are optimised for it. It even outshines the top android android smartphones that have snapdragon 600 processors. Now if only gameloft would get off their lazy arse and optimise their games for us. Just my incentive

You're being sarcastic right?!?

Check this out this link:

Ugghhh nevermind xda says I need more posts to posts a freakin website.

anyways google snapdragon vs tegra 3 for a link to cpuboss that compares the two.

It's when you compare the snapdragon 600 to the tegra 4 when things start to get interesting.

I agree though that gameloft should optimize their crap though, since (kinda) a lot of phones and tablets use tegra 3.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] PVL_93_RU:
Um, not really. There are only 40 devices that use Tegra family processors, so I wouldn't call it "A lot". Snapdragon definately rules the Android market ATM. With Exynos probably somewhere close to Tegra.

I also expect Intel to start populzarizing the Atom series processors among Android devices, even though it adds a new architecture to build upon (and optimize for) but it also adds a new competitor, and competition always does the market good

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] TDO:
You are right.

The T3 has not even 1% market share.

And all demanding miracles - the T3 is based on 2004 GPU design and more or lesse crap when it comes to gaming.

Just try it for yourself and you will see how many flaws and restrictions this outdated hardware has.

Only if you design a game from the begining exactly around this flaws you get a better performance.

But this would mean to lower the gaming experience for all other.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] R3dbeaver:
Not sure if mentioned before or not, but Real Boxing is out fire T3 and it looks absolutely stunning.

Gameplay a bit meh but looks very pretty. $0.99 promotion.

If you are looking for a sweet old school zelda clone, look at "Bit Dungeon" in the Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.bitDungeon&hl=en

You bounce from dungeon to dungeon in a rogue-like fashion; once you die, it is game over. You can buy continues aka "souls" for 1000 coins. There is also tons of loot. I made it to level 6 and was pretty awesome... although I still couldn't beat the boss at the end.

The levels are randomly generated upon entering, so while the layout is the same each time, the exit path and doors change around.

Anyway, it is what has my attention recently and thought I would share. The graphics, look, and feel remind me of Zelda: LTTP although there are no puzzles. Just defeat all the enemies in the room to get a key for another door.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
Don't you know how persuasive they can be?

In a perfect world, there would be an online database keeping track of all your game purchases and licenses to play them. Then when a game gets ported to a new platform, you can just pay $1.99 for the port while everyone else pays $15.99 for the first time license fee.

I guess this will never happen, just like movies. Every time there is a new format they want you to rebuy all your old movies again.

They are a really good buy for anyone who is a fan of the FF series who skipped the 3D remastered editions on the DS.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] PVL_93_RU:
I'd buy all of them if it werent' for kinda big price (500 RUB) for a game. Even remastered GTA 3 and GTA Vice City cost about 150 RUB each, and most of the games costs vary from 30 RUB to 320 RUB, 500 is too much IMO, especially when EVERY FF game is priced like that
