Great Gaming Device!

Amaeloeze · Jul 18, 2012

Forget PS VITA and Nintendo 3DS N7 is the way to go! Gaming on this device just feels nice! and the tegra 3 graphics are just unbelievable! Are you guys gaming on this device? If so what games are you playing? If you haven't check out Dead Trigger, the graphics will blow you away!

Is that the game from the IO demo?

Amaeloeze · Jul 18, 2012

Yeah it was the first person shooter game.

DanielM426 · Jul 19, 2012

Hey what are the IAPs costing?

dportal2006 · Jul 19, 2012

It would be great ifthey added like a ps vita emulator for this. Sony woupd flip out.

Game emulators are also great, since the navigation buttons are not easy to press and great touch response.

Anyone using a controller that doesn't require root?

GeoUSA · Jul 19, 2012

I agree with it being an excellent gamer. I spent $4.99 of my credit on ShadowGun. Really smooth first person shooter and I'm really pleased with the great controls. It's a D-pad concept, but sets the center of the D-pads when you put down your thumbs. Left thumb for movement and right thumb for looking around. Pretty slick!

If you are using your thumbs to control your movement how do you shoot or jump or whatever? Maybe the more important question, How many thumbs do you have?

We really need a standardized controller and some sort of interface for it. That is the sole reason I contributed to the Ouya kickstarter. they get it. Android games with a standard controller support. I get that not all games make sense for controller over touch screen but many do. Shadowgun, Dead Trigger, ect... I wish someone would come up with something. And something that works without jumping through hoops every time you want to play with it. I know Nyko is coming out with the ProPad this fall but I want something now. And I refuse to buy Gamestops POS. Looks too much like the PS3 Boomerang controller to be comfortable. I think its a goldmine business waiting to be cracked into.

In my experience, all\most android games have the same control layout. Including emulators.
Or are you referring to a standard PHYSICAL controller?

As for the Nexus 7 being a great gaming device: I couldn't agree more.. Just purchased Dead Trigger and Nova 3 - SPECTACULAR graphics and game play

The physical controller. I understand that my tablet is not a console but some of these games are starting to look really good. And certain genres just dont make sense using the touch screen.

Shoot I really want to get nova but i know that game loft have great sales. I think I might just wait for one of there sales.

Speaking of gameloft, anyone with the device know if gameloft's golf game is compatible with this thing? I have wanted a good golf game on my android tab (Transformer OG) since I got it last year and they just do not support my current tab.

I can't wait to get my hands on mine. I have about 30 games I've purchased or gotten through Amazon's FAOTD that I have been waiting to play on a tablet. I have fat thumbs so it is difficult to play on a phone as the controls are too small.

DanielM426 · Jul 19, 2012

I just hope that it works with my controller. That would be perfect

Will ShadowGun THD work on the nexus 7? Is that what you have?

Yes it does. If you root and download Sixaxis from the Play Store then you can play using a PS3 controller.

Amaeloeze · Jul 19, 2012

For shadowgun do you have to purchase the THD version to get the benefits of tegra 3 of does it work if you have the regular version?

You won't get the improved graphics with the regular version. Kinda sucks I have to purchase the game again.

It's not as bad $5 bucks will pretty much get you everything you need. There's a new update for the game that makes the game free instead of paying, 99 cents for it so go check the game out! I think it's worth a look.

BCM · Jul 20, 2012

Played Shadowgun last night and was really impressed. It was a really fun game with great graphics and controls.

Tumeg · Jul 20, 2012

Dead Trigger was updated this morning, and it no longer (for the time being) works on Jelly Bean...
It automatically updated seconds after I had made several in-app purchases. Figures.

stridermt2k · Jul 20, 2012

I was playing some Tegra 3 games on my Toshiba Excite 10 before I got my Nexus 7.

The Nexus 7 is a GREAT gaming machine. The screen, the responsive controls, it's great.

SO great that the Toshiba is going back. I'll wait for the Nexus 10 for my next 10-inch tab.

I never considered the N7 as a "proper" gaming device, other than for time passing simple games like Angry Birds.

I have never been able to get into hand-held gaming at all and prefer to stick to my PS3 or Xbox.
However, I have tried Dead Trigger and was pretty blown away, much better than anything I expected. Still a bit fiddly til I get used to controls but it may well make me rethink my position on hand-held gaming.

Everyone go to the play store and search for Auralux.

Great Gaming Device!
