With open GL 2.0 support and a snapdragon, I want to see what this thing can do. Are there any game houses targeting this phone, or is the android landscape too fragmented to make it worth while?
Not yet. Raging Thunder & Speed Forge are about the best 3d games so far.
The best 3d game so far to take advantage of the nexus is Toon Warz a full 3d FPS game by Polarbit, its an iphone port and only opengl es 1.0 but has some of the best full 3d graphics on android that isn't a tech demo.
Most importantly all phones running 2.0 or higher (droid and nexus atm) support multitouch in toon wars (2.0 has native multitouch in the sdk) which is imo one of the most important features of true touch screen gaming. (eg you can have two onscreen virtual joysticks one for movement and one for aim ps3 style.
Best game so far that I have played is Homerun Battle 3D. Sweet graphics, online play with 3G, single player & you can play against the guys on that other phone lol but it is a sweet game overall

To lend a bit of a reason why we haven't seen games using OpenGL 2.0 yet: It's not in the SDK. The hardware fully supports it but there's no official way to use it. It's possible it could be accessible through the NDK, but I don't think anyone has explored that very much yet.
i was just wondering isnt the htc hd2 more than capable of running an n64 emulator?
Its possible but from what I can find out, there isn't anyone who is developing one at the moment, and I don't think anyone will. Alot of the gaming crowd have gone to android or iphone, both of which have N64 emulators.
Any opinions on the forthcoming Sony PSP cell phone featuring Android. It looks like a X10 with PS controls.
Angry Birds with PSP games would be awesome methinks. And you guys?
I dunno, to me it just looks like a psp with a phone attached... which is kinda pointless seing as i've not played my psp in about a year
It will be interesting to see if they discontinue the old PSP Go for this new device or if they will try to market both of them.
Until the PSP2 comes out they have to upport older PSPs!!
The PSPPhone is only a Phone with gaming features... not a new PSP.
Really... I hope so...
just a quick question: WP7 with Xbox live or iPhone or Android, Which among them would u recommend for hardcore gaming on the go considering present and future support and software? i'm having second thoughts about my device and was thinking of maybe switching. please no consoles, pc's, etc.
If you want HARDCORE gaming, neither WP7 nor iPhone will be good enough...PSP/PSP2 is what you'll want
You could wait for the rumored (dc if it's "confirmed" it's still a rumor to me) Sony phone, supposed to be like a psp running android.
i mean, only from those 3, wp7, iOS and android. i was thinking about gaming on the go with the same device making calls, sms, email, movies, music

for gaming on the go with the best future potential, i'd say wp7 has that crown.
Currently, android. Give it a few months and WP7.
Currently have an HTC Trophy, wife has an iphone. My mom has an Android (really!). So i guess the right thing to do is stick to WP7 and be patient
as much as i know we have emulators for psx and other conosles on android?^^
winmo got a psx emulator too (not wp7)
Cool, a psx emulator! Thats a plus then. Hate this dilemma

wp7 doesnt have ish for it .. what are u talking about .... only gameloft hd and dungeon defenders are worthwhile games , and theyre for android
that said id reccomend a galaxy s series or psp phone or a tegra2 phone
What screen size do you think you need for hardcore gaming? I can't imagine playing anything in great detail on a screen smaller than a tablet (iPad, Galaxy Tab, etc.)
Any screen size will do i guess or maybe at least 3.5"
Although i will never buy an iPhone, i have to admit that iPhone wins for gaming. Casual gaming, not hardcore. Android sure has WAY morapps then WinMo, but tbh, i was a bit dissapointed at the quantity/quality. iPhone has dedicated officaial game devs, wheras android is open source and there aren't that many blockbusters.
i personally use ny Ipod touch. i don't use my tab for games, there aren't many :/
Android is best for gaming. At CES, lots of new games were demoed for Android.

WP7 has the potential to be a big gaming platform, but it's never going to happen if people don't buy it, and so far, they aren't. Of the few who have bought a WP7 phone, fewer people are satisfied with it than people who bought Android phones.

Are phones carrier subsidized in the Phillippines? If not, then you will get a whole lot more phone for the money going with Android over iPhone.
Android has better hardware for games
iPhone has better optimization. The devs all just focus on one device hardware to build upon. the apps are more stable.
Gangstar on my ipod touch 2g is smoother than on my Samsung Galaxy Tab :/
p.s - I'm not a Apple fanboy.
None for now. WP7 might have a chance with XBox Live integration (and I think we might see some XBox games ported over, maybe not), but nothing much right now. iOS does have a ton of casual games, but not too fond of hardcore gaming on it (I think the screen size is way too small). Android has the advantage in hardware (obviously), but has a lack of drivers and, with the exception of emulators, the game selection is poor (might change).
Windows Mobile 6.x True playstation emulator.
FSpcse on TG01 = Unbeatable
(except hd2)
the new PSP
I would wait for the Atrix to come out, as it will be a powerhouse.
iPhone seems to get more support for games though and they are always released on iOS first.
Play Station Phone
ok!ggggggggg

Only those of which Sony port over, I seriously doubt they will be emulated.
I really wanna get excited but I can`t, Sony have spoon fed us mostly rubbish in the PSOne department, initial thoughts from what are suggested is that it is more of the same for PSP.
I want Sony to prove me wrong on this soon, but we will see
Hope they port Need for Speed Underground Rivals *-* or FreeRunning
Hey...First game they oblige to port is the PATAPON series!!!
then all the others!!!
PSP ports are already here
Japans PS Store app has
QRuTon lite (Sony Tablets)
Piyotama lite (Sony Tablets)
Ape Escape Academy (Sony Tablets)
Loco Roco: Midnight Carnival (Xperia Play)
Also the US Sony Tablet S comes preloaded with Pinball Hereos, which was a PSP game originally. It's touchscreen, no on-screen buttons needed.
QRuTon lite (Sony Tablets)
Piyotama lite (Sony Tablets)
Ape Escape Academy (Sony Tablets)
These games will be available only on the Sony Tablets? Why? =/
I'm guessing because the XP doesn't have the necessary horsepower. The Sony tablet has double the cores and double the RAM.
If it shouldn't be up to horsepower because the PSP only had a 300 MHz processor the xperia play has 3x that

Locoroco looks like an emulator: it is a bit laggy and has a menu to quit that looks similar to psxperia.

It's a port. there's no way in hell that the play can emulate psp games
If it was Emulated I dougbt Sound would work and Image would be choppy framrate would be like 2 and Port's are made to suit the device specs not to be Emulated.
Emulation can only be done on a Device With x6 power of the emulated machine
When it comes to Syphon Filter Dark Mirror, I certainly hope that it's a slightly superior port in terms of visuals. Perhaps something along the lines of the PS2 counterpart that had better lighting, textures, and shadows, but without the gimped censorship (wishful thinking).
you know what would be awesome?
if you could play the games that are ported to xperia play again people using psp

If you have a GBA and a Linker, try this emulator please. You'll be amazed and maybe will you change your x6 rule:
