BLAQUE PRINCE
Fug <insert your school here>!
BP,
Not trying to start anything is just I don't play games on a phone anymore mostly because of my eyesight. *So, my question is what games can be played on a Android phone that's so good it's like playing on a console. *Also, who is developing these games? *If they are that good, there is more money in developing games for iOS. *It has been well documented that their is no money in making games for Android, so where is the incentive other than a hobby?
I looked all over the net including a lot of Android forums and even most of the posters there say iOS games are better....just curious.
I currently don't play much of them on phones either. Thats why I said IF. For some people its a big thing though so I thought I'd toss it out there. I'll wait for them to start pushing the games out to a TV screen with your phone then becoming a controller and second screen.

Now do you think THE graphics chip maker is going to open a game store with no games? Thats been the whole point of introducing these Tegra 2 processors. For a person interested in mobile gaming at a console level thats where you should most likely put your money. And they've already started talking about their Tegra 3 processors.
Then theres also

...bringing PlayStation games to Android which will most likely piggyback off the processing power of the Tegra 2.
And then for folks that want real controllers...

Now I don't know what you've read but I don't think Rovio is making 1 million per month on iOS like they are on Android. And the major shops that have held out have only done so because the native code interfaces just weren't there to build the games the way they wanted to. They are there now. I really haven't seen any of the majors bring up money as a reason. And it hasn't stopped EA from releasing games like Need for Speed and others, all of the Gameloft games or Dungeon Defenders (built on the Unreal Engine for Android...same engine that powers stuff from Infinity Blade to Gears of War) on the platform as it is.
So I'm not really seeing any lack of current or near future gaming options for those interested in that. With Nvidia and Sony driving the market I'd say Android is quickly becoming the place to be and thats why I said that about the Droid Bionic...its a Tegra 2 phone. I wouldn't be surprised if AMD feels the pressure to jump in too before Nvidia has the market on lock. The more the merrier.
