Nexus 4 flexing its hardware

[Banished Angel]

GTA Vice City runs flawlessly on the Nexus 4. Granted ps2 emulation isn't the most demanding thing in the world, but for an Android phone this is pretty sweet.

I just bought it and tried it out for myself and it's definitely smooth as butter. The phone does get quite warm playing though. I also managed to kill 15% of the battery in about 10 minutes so this isn't something you're going to be playing for long periods of time on the go.

I really don't like that with games the onscreen buttons don't disappear.

Agreed. It's easy enough to navigate out of a game using the game's menu. I don't need a home and back button taking up screen space during a game.

...time to root.

Can you use a controller with the game? I really like GTA3 and it runs awesome with all the settings maxed out, but it always crashes after about 10 min.

If you want to use a controller i'd recommend a wireless ps3 controller with this handy attachment:

I've thought about getting one of those, I already use my PS3 controller for gaming on my phone. I'll probably end up getting one after the holidays.

My question was more about is the game optimized to use a controller?

I don't have a ps3 controller to test it, but it appears to work fine.
