Palm adds 3D gaming to webOS, gets big EA franchises

love my pre
Good news

Now that Pre is coming to Verizon, the market is that much bigger.

Reheheheheally...

Downloading now (provided prices aren't insane). I'll let you know how it performs.

One of my gripes about the Pre I have is that it seems to be less responsive than the iPhone. I still love it for other reasons though.

So.... let's see how games perform.

I don't think 3D gaming is meant for these kinds of things. I bought Nazi Zombies for iPhone The controls were atrocious, it looked bad, and the framerate was terrible. I guess there are certain games that works, like I had a lot of fun with The Sims 3.

nice boots..........SIKE!

FYI the update just went live.

This is also very interesting from another perspective.

WebOS and Android both run on the Linux kerne, there UI maybe slightly different but other than that its basically the same system so in theory it should be really easy to port these games between each platform..

It gets even more interesting, because Nokia have ditched Symbian for a Linux based OS in one of their new phones, which means that that could also be indirectly affected..

I would guess they would all use OpenGL for the 3D rendering, and I would guess they are pretty much using the same line of processors which would mean the changes required would be minimal..

There is also another thing here, if they can easily port this game onto Linux based mobile phones, how hard would it be to get the games to run on actual desktop / laptop based Linux distributions ? My android is currently running a 2.6.29 Linux kernel and my desktop is running:

uname -a
Linux fr1ght 2.6.31-16-generic


This is all very interesting..

downloading Golf right now.. finally some REAL games on my Pre!

Need for Speed looks and plays great but crashes quite a bit.

Hopefully there will be a decent catalog by July when I finally upgrade my Palm Treo to a Pre.

Huzzah for real games on the Pre!

I kind of agree, I want games like pokemon, something which will fill up a train trip and doesn't require your full attention.

what a great month for the pre.. bought glyder 2.. fuck 10 dollars for need for speed.. i got quake and doom running on it, fucking awesome!!
