61 FPS on my LG OG

With more extreme methods of compression comes the CPU needs. As it is, the OpenGL ES functions for texture compression are really good. From looking at all the assets, 100mb+ is a little lean. If this were on XBL/Steam, it’d easily be in the same ballpark as far as space is concerned.

I can’t help but point out that this has been available on iOS 2 years ago on the iPhone 4 which had an A4 processor (aka underclocked Samsung Hummingbird single core…)

Just like what was noted in the last opinion posted here on Droid Life, I really thing Google has the power and it seems they are beginning to get the inspiration to make mobile games jaw dropping! Its just something that is gonna take some time because after all Android has only been publicly available on devices for about 5 years and the iPhone for about 6 years while it took the PC gaming industry decades to reach this level of extreme performance.

What was the average frame rate on the iPhone?

What’s up with all the new apps being 100mb+? I know the graphics and resources are huge but is there not some sort of compression that could be used?

Downloaded just to see how good it looked on my Nexus 10 and all i can say is WOW. That looks just as good as the initial xbox 360 games.

51.5 FPS on my Nexus 10 not bad. Let’s not kid ourselves though…this “game” is nothing but a tech demo. Once you get enemies on screen, artificial intelligence, guns, explosion effects, all the other things that go into an actual playable game, this would run a lot closer to 30 FPS and even less on lower-powered devices. It’s cool, but disingenuous at the same time.

Welcome to 2 years ago.

I really wish Google had taken gaming seriously enough that I wouldn’t need something with over 2x the processing power of an iDevice in order to get something to run almost as good as it does on lesser iOS hardware.

The hardware out there is great and Google’s made some great strides in software. When it comes to gaming, Google is catching up. The software stack for making games on Android is still terrible. iOS isn’t great by any means either, the OpenGL client driver is absolutely awful on ALL mobile platforms. I have yet to see any driver that works worth a damn when it comes to mobile.

We’re getting there, though, and I’d like to see Google take the lead on this.

It’s really NOT a game, just a tech demo of Unreal Engine 3 running on mobile devices. I remember the big splash it made back when I was still using an iPhone.

I like the part where you played it before making a judgement.
