The majority of games developed and ported by the community don’t appear to utilise the n900 graphics acceleration hardware and rely on the CPU for rendering.
After ~4 months of being released in the UK, there seem to be no new 3d accelerated games coming through the OVI Store?
Is the Bounce Demo the only game so far which does support hardware accelerated 3d? Are there any other games? Does Open Arena use the n900's graphics hardware?
What is the likelihood of some properly developed, playable rts, fps games which utilise the hardware and OS capabilities of the n900 coming to market?
Without proper paid game developers to produce games I don’t think the programmers in the community will have the time or money to produce completed games to a high quality which are actually playable.
It seems a few small time developers have indicated that they are developing for the n900, but i have seen only a hand full of small games released and i am hoping for something more that shooting a ball through a hoop. Maybe they are dropping Maemo in favour of MeeGo due to the relatively small market for games on the n900.
Any opinions?
