REALLY!!?? Yea, I'm trolling, I signed up here years ago just in case there was ever a 7 " Google tablet AND a thread about a game that I had predicted would come out. *rolls eyes* I think you should look up "trolling" on the Urban Dictionary. Putting aside that absurd comment you made, just look at that screen shot in the post I quoted. You can't honestly tell me that it doesn't look horrible. I'm not arguing whether RR3 looks better on Android or not, because I wouldn't waste my money on an ipad or iPhone. RR3 may look amazing on an ipad, I honestly have no idea, and not claiming that I do. Just saying the screen shot I quoted looks horrible, and much MUCH worse than RR3 looks on my N7 FHD...

I havent tried out this game or done this with any game yet, but has anyone attempted to force AA in developer settings like you can in 4.2.x? That might solve your problems for now, granted i dont think RR3 is using WebGL 3.0 but I have the setting on my GNex for WebGL 2.0

Lazy port/developers. Period. There are games that look very good and perform well on Android.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] ÜBER™:
Amen to that. Its nothing to do with android being the inferior system to program for, its the lazy developers that rather than provide a quality coded game and seek profit, they rather use as minimal resources and maximize profit. Add into the fact that there are tons of android devices and versions to code for and you have a ton of crappy games. While the chip in this device is a power house, you can't throw crappy code at a beast of a chip and expect it to run as good or better than extremely optimized code running on a sub par chip.

Good that you are ironic, but my question was retoric. Now i'll go and check on the Urban Dictionary for trolling, and next thing i'll do is laugh because you though that was serious. Out of offtopic, go youtube, type ipad mini real racing 3, and please, clean your glasses or whatever, but tell me that there's no difference between rr3 android and ios. Kthx.

I think the comments about Java are incorrect. Graphic rendering is not done by the Java VM. OpenGl is implemented in "C", and Java Opengl just provides a thin interface layer. Graphic benchmarks should provide a good comparison.

Well the misinformation is even worse than that. Android is NOT a virtual machine running over a Java platform. Android is a derivative of Linux. Dalvik is the Java VM under Android that runs applications.

I don't know why this is so hard for you to comprehend! I'm not saying that RR3 is as good on Android as it is on IOS!! I'm not saying that you or anyone else is wrong by stating that RR3 looks and plays better on IOS! RR3 may very well be inferior on Android when compared to IOS! Not now, nor ever, have I said that RR3 on Android is equivalent to RR3 on IOS. I haven't compared the two OS's, nor do I care to, so I can't say one way or the other which OS RR3 looks/plays better on!! My ONLY comment in this thread, before I was quoted, was that the screen shot in the post that I originally quoted looks horrible and much worse than RR3 looks on my N7 FHD. That's it, nothing more nothing less! If anyone with a N7 FHD says that the screen shot I'm referring to looks better than RR3 looks on their N7 FHD, then they should definitely exchange their tablet because something is terribly wrong with it!!

Now, if you understand, then let's move on to something beneficial in this thread!!

EDIT : Just now realized that the screen shot I keep referring to was actually posted by you. What device is that screen shot from?

*SMH* Not once did I say that RR3 on Android is better (or even equivalent) to RR3 on IOS! Not even sure what device that screen shot is from, but I said that RR3 on my N7 FHD looks better than that screen shot!

That screenshoot is from an Ipad Mini, as I said on the post which I added the picture. Ipad mini hasn't even got an hd screen and it looks better on it, so imagine on an ipad 4, thats why the guy that you quoted also says that...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] NekroWolfen:
I have both the iPad mini and the iPad 4th and I can guarantee you it works and looks better there, especially the iPad 4th. Still, it's just the developers not the Android OS, less iOS devices means less coding, more iOS customers means more money. I still prefer the $270 Nexus over the $600 iPad 4th... I can do a lot more on this.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Monkz:
Install the app Real Racing 3 Graphics. It will let you choose the graphics setting you want for the game. It will let you change from the default low to the Very High Graphics u see on other devices!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] nex86:
I don't own the new Nexus 7 but Xperia Tablet Z which has similar specs.

I'm going to try it out later, I tried RR3 on my S3 though and it looked great.

edit: same thing, Game runs with reduced resolution. but otherwise it looks great, but not that great as on iPad 4 though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] stanglifemike:
Lol, I guess I'll give up on getting you to read and understand what I'm saying. All you keep saying is that it looks an plays better on IOS. I'll say it 1 more time, I NEVER SAID THAT RR3 DOESN'T LOOK BETTER ON IOS!! My comment was simply that RR3 looks better on my N7 FHD than that screen shot you posted! I'm starting to think that you are just trolling, as you have yet to respond to my original comment about the screen shot. Instead you just keep saying that RR3 looks sooooo much better on IOS than it does on the N7 FHD. Try reading my comment for once, instead of just praising IOS devices!!!! Geez!! IOS Fanboy much?? Lol

This is gonna be my last comment on this thread since it's going to offtopic. First of all, your answer is on my last comment. Your question was "What device is that screen shot from?" and on my last comment I told you that it was from an Ipad Mini. That's your answer and looks that you'e still looking for it.

Secondly, I know you're not saying that, but what you say is that on the screenshoot you uploaded on this thread, it looks better than on the one I posted here. You might want to take a look again at both and check the details.

Thirstly and last one, i'm not a troll, and neither ios fanboy, i'm more an android fanboy that anything else, but I think that you have to respect people that loves other operating system or whatever you wanna call it. I don't like ios but I recognize that as stated above, it performs better in therms of games. Now you can keep with your caps and saying I troll or whatever, but if u look below my nickname, and see the comments I did, all were on the Nexus 10 forums, and most of them defending android and that device. Said that, I hope that finally you find your answer for the question and that we leave the offtopic, and please, stop the caps and being offensive. I've never been and/or tried to be.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Deathman20:
Well I have a iPod 5th gen and yes it does look better. Then again any game thats on both android and iOS its most likely going to be better on the iOS since it has to keep what 5, 6, maybe 10 different devices up to date (which some share the exact same specs its just a larger screen)

On the N7 yes it has a larger screen and higher res so yes I can see it being an issue pushing all that graphics. Course on the iPod it works flawless and gives the higher graphics, but on a small 4" screen really hides the detail compared to a larger 7" screen can.

Also.. seems to be hit/miss the Dev options for OpenGL 2.0 forcing of 4x MSAA. Try it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Deathman20:
And to just add to mine. Graphic settings are forcing low in this case, between the app and the graphics app it keeps resetting it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] jaibuu:
It's not an issue about AA, AA would still make it look it blurry.

The game 3d view is clearly running at about half the native res:

The non-resized screenshot is at image-share.com/upload/2251/280.png
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Deathman20:
Well what ever it is, im guessing its recongizing the device as the old Nexus 7 not the new one, hence lower looks.

I tried to even force higher res options in the data directory and still failed to improve the look of it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Rican Bx Bomba:
All this b****ing in this thread.. Has anyone emailed EA or left comments in the play store about this problem. Maybe if we all do it, they'll update the app to work properly on our beloved Nexus.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] stanglifemike:
Complaining about issues using reviews in the Play Store won't help to get them resolved. By all means we can leave a low rating, as hurting their overall rating might help encourage them to resolve the issues. Emailing them with device information, app version number, and all issues that you're encountering is by far the best way to get them to recognize the issues, and will hopefully lead them release an updated version.

Thanks for mentioning this, as I haven't read where anyone else in the thread has suggested this!! So everyone, just like this member suggested, send in your complaints directly to the developer if you want to see RR3 fixed for this device!!

You are absolutely correct too!! Complaining in this thread will get read by other XDA members, but unless they work for the company who makes the app, then it's really just a waste. Take the issues directly to the source if you actually want them to get resolved!!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] zheng zhang:
I have a solution here.

I'm using nexus 7 2013 and the low resolution of rr3 is really annoying. But I accidentally ran into a solution.

1. Install "ultimate rotation control" and lock your screen at auto.

2. Close the game.

3. Turn the device into portrait mode. That is, turn the device verticality.

4. Start the game. The game should be stuck at its first screen.

5. Turn the device into landscape mode. (horizontally)

6. Enjoy the high resolution version of RR3!

The anti-aliasing is still off. But way better than the low resolution version.

Coming from the iOS world I have a lot against this statement - gaming on Android, to me, is ways ahead! I've had so much fun playing games on my new N7, I can't even compare it to my iOS devices when it comes to gaming. And I've had all the iPads and an iPhone 5. Maybe its just me but thats the way I see things.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
perhaps its the app one tries when they make the complaint

Great game on IOS, gets a sloppy android port, ALL ANDROID GAMING SUCKS

What exactly do you mean by "changed" I'm not following you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] zheng zhang:
That is, all android .plist be replaced by renamed AndroidHigh.plist.

e.g.Make a copy of AndroidHigh.plist, rename it as AndroidLow.plist.

Actually this step can be ignored. I tried this morning. So I deleted this step.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] xp3nd4bl3:
You, sir, deserve a medal. This seems to force the game to render at native resolution and makes a HUGE difference.

Not sure what happened but I know the game auto selects the graphic presets. On my nexus 4 it sets them to a much higher resolution. I was so excited to play on my new N7 when it booted up, then suddenly the graphics dropped to low settings. It did initally start at a much higher setting.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] shreddintyres:
Nope Tegra 3 is old outdated tech in almost every regard. The code under the hood for rr3 isn't optimized for the new n7 and as a result looks of poorer quality compared to its predecessors.

Tegra 3 is old but still a beast!! I can't wait for Asus to release the New Infinity, or whatever they decide to name the TF700 Infinity's successor!! It is going to be powered by the Tegra 4 an have an equal or even better HD screen resolution than the TF700 Infinity. I'm gonna get that or the N10 if it's made by Asus! I absolutely love my TF700 Infinity and still use it daily!! To be quite honest, I wish the N7 FHD had a Tegra 4 in it. Don't get me wrong, I still love my N7 FHD even with the S4 Pro, but I do think the Tegra 4 would've been a better choice

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Tallon29:
No, I haven't even rooted a phone since my OG Droid 3+ years ago. Everything is completely stock. I haven't done anything. I'm hoping it's just because the N7 LTE is a different model and they didn't add it to their compatibility list. Has anyone with an N7 LTE downloaded Real Racing 3?

im using real racing 3 its running fine just crappy quality.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Tallon29:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] sk8trix:
Well I ordered the tmobile one by mistake but then I went to att store and got a sim card and put it on there. that's really weird man. Dont go to your downloaded apps and search for it try to search it manually maybe the one that shows on downloaded apps is the version only for your old phone or tablet....its happened to me with Galaxy on fireTHD so maybe that will work idk
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Tallon29:
That's really good advice, but unfortunately I've never downloaded it before. I'm going to the Play store on the web.

WOW, OK, so... inspired by your device, I went to the play store on my N7 and was able to search for and download Real Racing 3 without issue. Thanks! Not sure why the Play store on my PC would say it isn't compatible but then it's fine on my device itself.

Thank you! Can't wait to try this game out. Any advice for a complete noob? :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] sk8trix:
It was probably detecting any of your other devices when you were finding the game and mayb its not compatible for that device

Also, if you like racing games you should check out Asphalt 8 and Need For Speed: Most Wanted!! Those are my favorites at the moment, and I can't decide which I like better as they're both awesome! Also, RipTide GP2 is another amazing game that's battling to be my favorite! :)

Re: Real Racing 3 Graphics

I also have an ipad mini and the game looks great on it. But I have the Nexus 7 (2013) and the game looks great on it as well! I am not saying that anyone who is having issues with the graphics on their game is wrong because everyone is entitled to their opinions and it may not look as great as it should or could look on their devices. I'm just simply stating that on my Nexus all the games I have played so far looks great on the device! I don't know if running the latest version of Android with all the updates has any bearing on how apps look and perform but I updated mine right when i got it. I had to install 3 updates right off the bat (2 installed from the system and 1 I had to manually get it to install the 2nd one)then I manually updated it to Kit Kat. But so far the games have been looking great on my end definitely a lot better than my Nexus (2012 model) a noticable improvement!
