Gameloft has officialy added support for the EVO 4G!!!

[Mike20PR]

Go to gameloft dot com and you will now be able to choose between the current games available for the evo like nova, hero os sparta, west coast hustle, lets golf etc. but what does this mean? Are they still the laggy ones we have seen, or have they somehow optimized it for snapdragon for better performance? Im really curious to try this out but fear for crap framerate

Nova runs great on my evo. Can't give you any specifics, but I've had no noticeable framerate drops.

The only game I see listed when I select games for my phone is Midnight Bowling 2.

No, but they should release into market ... and only let them be downloaded by certain phones.

I wish they'd do that.

Does heroes of Sparta run well? The one I have using Droid on the website is choppy

Gameloft does have some games in the Market. The have Midnight Bowling 2, Prince of Persion, Asphalt 5, Dogz2, Assassin's Creed, 1 vs 100, Chessmaster, Platinum Suduoko, The Settlers. They just added all the games there, at least yet.

Those were there since the beginning and aren't the HD ones

I wanna see if nova runs smooth (i had a pre and loved that game on it) as well as gangstar... anybody thay has it please elaborate... Smooth? Choppy? Laggy?

I knew to not get my hopes up... thats Qualcomm for ya, making crippled cpu's since the htc tilt days... how hard is it to implement a good gpu on it? Thats why omap is pwning in gfx even at lower mhz...

Oh well, back to my snesoid!! Still love my evo

So the Asphalt I bought on the Market is not the right version I should of bought? It is too late for a refund. It seems fine. What is the difference?

Why not, why dont they put them on the market?

 

[Kedar]

Well? Does it run right?

I don't think Qualcomm is to blame for this. Aren't these games optimized for the omap processors? They first made them for the iphone...
... then ported to Pre, which worked out well.

However, I wish people would make Android, snapdragon efficient games and mark them in the market as "playable on Evo, Incredible, N1"... etc.

What game did you buy?

It's not just about the clock frequency of the phone, there's more to it.

Gameloft started developing initially on the iPhone which is using a PowerVR GPU. The next phone blessed with their games was the Pre, which is using, you guessed it, a PowerVR GPU. The reason Gameloft ported to the Pre first was because it was an easy straight port from the iPhone version to the Pre, after all, same GPU, same resolution.

Now they are porting to the Snapdragon Android phones. Higher resolution, and a different GPU, the AMD Z430, which while capable, isn't quite as good as the PowerVR. Also, since it's a different GPU and because Gameloft does quick ports, it's also not optimized for the Evo's GPU. So combine the higher resolution (could be that they just stretch the screen out and not actually render in 480 x 800), with a less capable GPU, with non optimized code for that GPU, and you're gonna see performance issues, and a whole lot of people that don't know what's going on screaming "Why won't my super phone play this game as good as my last phone!!!?"

But yeah, I wish the Snapdragon was accompanied by the next version of the PowerVR, it would have been an even bigger beast!
