Games run Choppy on EVO - Page 2

Watched all the games from the youtube site. I can honestly say I have most of those games on my ipod touch 3rd generation, and they ran much much better on the ipod.

I am still trying to decide between the Evo and iphone 4, but the 3gs already beats out the Evo in a gaming sense.

Advanced Task Killer...one thing you have to remember on the Android OS is that a lot of the programs stay open, which eats up memory and storage space...Android OS tends to do weird things when it doesn't have a lot of memory...download Advanced Task Killer and run it...you'll be suprised how much the Evo begins to speed up...

Teeter works great. So does the virtual beer app, with the burp at the end. You may not think that's a game, but I drank 30 of them last night, and beat my friend, who could only drink 27

You guys have to use a task killer before playing heavy games. Some people will say you don't need a task killer, they are wrong. Use a task killer before play and your games will run smoothly.

I just wanna know if I'll be able to finally play Mystique Chapter 3 on the Evo cuz it would never play on my Hero, always forced close on me

While I would agree the performance in that video isn't spectacular, the games that I play on Android are generally not so intensive, so it doesn't bother me. Also, they still are very good. The only one I saw that had any issue was that FPS at the end, but it wasn't too bad. Sure as hell beats any 3D gaming experience (or rather, lack thereof) we have on WM. lol

The iPhone GPU is well known to run better than any other phone, and the A4 blows the snapdragon out of the water as far as GPU goes, it's just a fact.

If you want to game on your phone, get an iPhone HD, if you're more into aesthetics, widgets, and more control over your device (not to mention 4G) then get an Evo, but gaming and graphics-wise it will not even come close to the iPhone.

Or just to simplify:

If you want a gaming device, go get an iPhone...or more appropriately, a DSi or a PSP.

If you want a great smartphone platform, get an Android device.

I can't agree with these statements at all. any game that has been created exactly the same, homerun battle, heavy gunner, plus a couple of other ones run exactly the same as on the iphone. One reason there is lag is because iphone can only run one program at a time so it has an auto task killer built into its os, its sounds like none of you are using the task killer but expect with 10 programs open the game to run smoothly? Also there is fragmentation in android currently so some games have only been made for the lower end androids and of course the iphone versions are better. But if you guys think games made for n1, evo, droid, or incredible are below iphone games you guys are wrong. Also once JIT is applied, you guys will be so wowed, but until then i understand you're disbelief.
