Gaming on Epic

[ACEinthehole]

So everyone is talking about the processor for gaming on the Epic. Question is... what games are you playing?

 

[jim2point0]

The processor is huge for gaming AND high def movies But as far as gaming goes... there aren't many that push the hardware simply because the Galaxy S\Droid X phones are the first with a GPU worthy of playing crazy games.

However... if you really wanna see a smooth framerate on some 3D games...

Dungeon Hunter (my favorite RPG)
Toonwarz (pretty much unplayable on my EVO, perfect on the Epic)
Raging Thunder
Asphalt 5

I'd also mention the playstation emulator, but at present it doesn't use hardware acceleration... which sucks.

Here's some great games I play.
Modern combat sandstorm
Fifa 10
Hockey nations 10

How much space does this need? I tried installing with 120 MB free and it said I didn't have enough space...

Glyder 2 has a free version with ads.
Great with accelerometer.

Probably a stupid question, but where do I get games that aren't on the market? Like 'Dungeon Hunter' - this looks fun as hell, but I don't see it on the market, where do I go?

Yeah, total Droid newb, it is what it is.

head over to gameloft.com. If you do it on your phone, you can download a demo from there.

Cool, thanks man

First attempt at gaming on Android... complete failure. I installed Dungeon Hunter, but it freezes about half way through the update of the game once I'm in the game itself.

I uninstalled, deleted all files, and even re-downloaded and installed it again - same issue.

Is there a way to manually update the game maybe? Any good site for someone with no Android gaming experience to go for info on this? Honestly, I had less trouble installing an NES emulator than I'm having installing an actual for-sale game

Same problem with the same game. I tried wifi and 3g.

The other game loft games seem to work fine.

Huh. I just bought Dungeon Hunter today and the download finished fine a few hours ago.

From what I understand, Gameloft started making these games on the iPhone app store first, but they didn't really take a liking to android. That's why they aren't using the market and are making us download them from their store. Results may vary.... but I did get the game to install just fine. I have a pretty fast wifi connection but I don't know if that helps.

EDIT: So I took the game for a spin... and I was surprised by how poorly it ran. The framerate was very smooth, but the game froze every 5-10 seconds. Usually when enemies appeared. The jumpiness made the overall experience pretty bad. The game actaully runs smoother on my iPod Touch 2G.

I wonder if the game just isn't optimized for this phone. I'll try more gameloft games tonight and see.

ya lol, I have nova, dungeon hunter, sandstorm etc on my ipod touch aswell as my epic

 

[jonra]

Well, good to know I'm not alone. They have some cool looking games, but man was I pumped for that one. I love Diablo-style RPGs! I'll check their support I guess, maybe they've got a fix in the works

 

[jonra]

Google searching hasn't helped. We're not alone though:

Anyone try Dungeon Hunter or Let's Golf? - Android Forums

 

[Othan1]

In regards to Dungeon Hunter (any of their games) they're real good about emailing you back a link to a different download that works for the demo.

 

[jonra]

Hmm, thanks, I'll try emailing them tonight (can't get to the gameloft site from work... stupid firewall).
