Sorry for derailing the thread a bit but what's the best/most compatible controller to use with N7? Xbox/PS3/Wii? I have no idea about these things and don't own any of those consoles. Also, I would prefer keeping my Nexus unrooted. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Saenzscene:
I believe you can use a ps3 controller without root. It just requires an otg cable. The other versions require root (Xbox, six axis]
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Locustslayer:
Hey guys, Penny Arcades RPG is out on Android. Definitely recommend it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] :
I used the OTG cable with my PS3 controller to play Dead Trigger and it is just unbelievable how good it plays!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Saenzscene:
Awesome! I'm thinking of going to pick up a used one at GameStop for gaming. I'm getting owned by people using controllers on SG deadzone lol I'm off to order an otg cable lol

Most Wanted is Out!! I really like it!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
Yer its great, shame theres no free roam.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mlaws90:
That's what I was thinking, very different from the PC game(how you acquire cars etc) but it is still the best racing game out for sure.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Just Some Atoms:
Am I the only one suffering from terrible frame rate on Most Wanted?? I'm stock, unrooted and it's not good at all. When a roadblock goes up the frames go down even more, only to immediately jump back up as soon as I go past it. It's a great game and i'll keep playing it, but right now Beach Buggy Blitz plays MUCH smoother on my device!? (even looks a little crisper too tbh)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
The game definatly has some framerate issues. Just post a comment in play store. But comparing this to asphalt 7.........yer thisis a winner by far. I think this will be the *most wanted* racing game on android by far :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CJHolderUK:
How big is NFS:MWs download? I wish they would do what Gameloft are doing and integrate the additional files to Google Play. If you get what I'm sayin'? :P
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Just Some Atoms:
I think it was a 680MB download, you would think I would remember from the amount of time it was on my screen (download was painfully slow at times). Total installed size is 1.95GB.

I posted a comment about the frame rate issues, I might even contact the listed support later today too. I didn't download Asphalt due to the poor reviews from Nexus 7 owners. Plus it's a Gameloft game, so far they haven't properly optimised 1 game for the Tegra chipset so I refuse to give them my money. I could go on about Gameloft but this in't the right thread for that!

Hopefully this will be fixed really soon as I refuse to believe that this is the best the Nexus 7 can run this game, especially after seeing how Vector Unit and Madfinger (mostly free) games perform! Controller support would be a great addition too but i'm not holding my breath for that one! :laugh:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
If i remember right it was about 500mb, but once its extracted it goes to 1.94gb. The whole download was very quick fo me.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CJHolderUK:
Thank you both. Maybe I will need to upgrade to the 32gb N7...

Lucky for some, being 16 I don't exactly have an other half (not one I would spend £140 on). Plus, I have financial difficulties. I need to save for a new laptop (looking at about £500) and the N4 (most importantly). I work full time for what I get, so before anyone calls me a brat, I'm not. :P

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CJHolderUK:
Curse that limit!

I'm not too sure, because I'm getting the N4 and can tether. But maybe. :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Toyeboy:
I think it's probably poor frame rate because it's designed for much higher GPUs (A5x a6 etc)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SIDANE99:
ok game is workin now..no black screen...gfx are good but i think sum frame rate issue..or maybe blur is missin..or some effects (mayb)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
I dont think it is completely optimized for our device. But i am stll more than happy with it. Not to bad for a first release. Just post a omment on play store saying tere is a frame rate issue and to optimize for tegra.

EA are much better than gmloft as they listen o there users and dont disable a sh*t loada graphics and call it optimised for tegra ;)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] R3dbeaver:
custom kernel, here we go! 1.6Ghz with 620GPU should be able to handle it...

i was on the fence with this game. i barely play Asphalt but the graphic is so good but it's $7... isnt it too much?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Rody2k6:
There is that, the N4, but isn't the S3 better? On my phone I would prefer a microSD slot :/, but as long as the N4 can play what I play on the Nexus 7, then yes it would be a good buy.

Little tip for nfs most wanted frame rate. Use he performance govenor. Its much smoother than with an overclocked gpu. I bumped gp to 480 but the govenor makes a better deference.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] steo85:

Google play store has the refund policy in place for these situations, just be sure to refund within the 15 min Mark if you're not happy with any apps or games.

At least Google has a refund policy unlike Apple.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Rody2k6:
But 15mins is not enough time to try out a game especially when you gotta download the data, like almost all gameloft games, and other major games.

I am not supporting piracy, hell no, I just think that 15min for a refund for a game you still gotta download 1,5GB of Data or more (like in Bard's Tale) it is not enough.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CJHolderUK:
You can contact the developer, just nicely explain that due to your sow download you missed the return window. They kno when you bought th game so as long as it isn't like 2 days afterwards I'm sure they'll be nice enough to return it.

Fair enough, I remember back in the days of android market that it was a 24hr refund policy, I guess the developers kicked up a stink.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Wobblin30:
Login to Google Play through your computer, click on options in the top right hand corner and pull up My Orders & Settings. Find the game, click report a problem then request a refund.

I did this when I bought Chameleon Launcher. Wrote up something quick about the launcher not being ready for daily use. Within 10 minutes I got an email from the Google Play team saying my refund was on it's way :D. $10 bucks back on my initial $25.00 within a day or two.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
yeah well for a .99 cent app, nobay got time for that, but a ten dollar app. Its nice to know the guy got a refund when past that 15 min time

I have to say I'm not at all impressed with zombie driver the. The controls aren't so great, the way the screen scrolls back and forth makes me dizzy, and the graphics aren't any better then a non-tegra game. $7 down the crapper!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] idevice12345:
What is warez?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] R3dbeaver:
you can disable/enable shadows? all i change in settings are turning off notifications and even that sometimes doesnt work.

im running Motley Kernel, Performance governor at 1.6Ghz with 520GPU. no lag.

on stock, however,there's only SOME lag. still playable though. jitters here and there but still ok. with Motley, it's almost very smooth. i'm guessing 30-40FPS that sometimes dips into 25.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Toyeboy:
Is there any risk in running the Nexus on performance mode as that's full load all the time seems like it could burn up he CPU quick
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
Not really. Theres probably more risk runnng a overclocked gpu. I am talking in terms of using this govenor for only playing games and not a daily use. It also depends on weather you cpu is heavily overclocked.

But thermal throttle will kick in or your device will rebot if things start getting to hot.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] klisp:
Anyone buy Need for speed: Most wanted? Does it lag on our Nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] spthacker:
Take a look a couple of pages back, there is a bit of lag as its not been optomised for the tegra, but all bits crossed with people leaving comments for EA in the play store they'll have a tinker with it :fingers-crossed:

Lags pretty heavily when many police cars are about either trying to take you down or in a road block. However it looks beautiful and plays well most the time. :)

I do have the 32gb nexus not sure if it has to do with storage but on a computer if your storage gets low it slows down the pc. Well worth the price and heck it already paid for itself with 2 1/2 hours of game time.

On stock, all I'm saying is, I have 2 nexus 7s an 8gb and 16gb and neither play as smooth as my phone. It may not have lag spikes but the frame rate is lower than 30 fps, which isn't acceptable.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Just Some Atoms:
Not checked on this in a few days, i'm thinking Most Wanted should have it's own thread at this rate! :silly:

I'm actually pretty surprised to hear others have it running with no lag on the N7, especially with stock kernals/builds. I run a pretty simple stock device with minimal widgets, static wallpaper and nearly 5GB free. Horn, Dead Trigger & Beach Buggy Blitz run as smooth as I could want them to but MW just won't play well on my device!? I'd say the top FPS I get is 25, with a road block up and officers in pursuit it REALLY slows down, i'm talking 10-15 FPS! I have actually stopped playing it for now as it's ruining the game for me.

I'm glad to hear that both EA and Gameloft have stated they will now support Nexus devices but also concerned as neither the N4 or N10 have Tegra hardware. :confused:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] leelaa:
Thry are aware of the performance issues on certian devices, including ours

So is there any general consensus on what is a good benchmarking/power test type of game while still fun to play? I just got my Nexus 7 very recently, and I've tried Dead Trigger and Asphalt 7 and they've been running fine (though Asphalt 7 lags a bit here and there, especially in the menus), but I figure if there's something that I should try out ASAP.

-NFS Has a premium feel to it (graphics and the way the menu is organised) much less intrusive.

- Controls in asphalt 7 are better . Gives you more options

- EA > GAMELOFT

If you like racing games or you like A7 get NFS . If you do have issues with frame rate at least you know they ll fix it soon

Um yeah, ea has gotten a ton better, but that's only recently, a couple months ago the only way to get mobile support was to send an email to an account they ignored. Actually when I had my flyer, Nova 2 didn't show in the market and I emailed game loft about it's and within a half hour they emailed me back with a link to the apk from their site.

But that was then, I am pretty much finished with gameloft since they are ignoring tegra 3 optimization.
