I noticed earlier this week that none of Gameloft's HD games were available on their website for the Captivate, so I e-mailed them today asking when they (specifically NOVA and Modern Combat) would be made available for our phone and here is the response I received:
"Hi!
Thank you for your interest in Gameloft games. Unfortunately, we currently do not have any plans to add those game to support your device. This may change in the future so please visit our Website periodically for the latest information at gameloft.com"
Does anyone know if I can just select that I am with Sprint on an EVO during the purchase and receive and run the games just fine? I am guessing yes but I wanted to double check before I spent the money to buy the games.
(My phone is rooted and I have enabled non-market apps.)
Try it. You won't.

what a dumb a customer service. all the new HD or 3D games from companies work on the Vibrant. I have tested each of these games mentioned below. Not only do they run, they run smoooooooooooooth.
Sandstorm
Nova
3D Heavy Gunner
Skies of Glory
Real Football 2010
Hocky 2010
Homerun 3D
Asphalt 5
Raging Thunder 2
I have asphalt runs great
I won't say how I got it but you can imagine
I figured since I have the same game for iphone that it was ok just this once
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
yep just select different phone that is supported, thats what I did. n.o.v.a runs great on my captivate. They need to get it together.saying a phone isn't supported when it runs the game better than the phones that are supported.lol
hmm gona have to try this out!
Asphalt and Nova work well
I have been playing Dungeon Hunter HD and it works great. Very smooth playback so far.
If you got to the website on your phone, atleast for me on the vibrant it will let you get some of the games. DO NOT get Hero of Sparta though because it causes Touchwiz to loop forever when you start up your phone.
Nova
Gangster
Assassins Creed
dungeon hunter
all worked fine for me though
Does it matter what phone you put in? I mean are they really different versions of the game? I'm assuming there's no variation, but...
For those of you getting these games on your Captivate, which phone are you putting in as the device when it asks you?
one warning here....Asphalt 5 is AWESOME but ONLY up to version 3.1.3. I am not sure what they did after that but they broke hardware acceleration.

I'm using 3.1.8 and it seems fine. Did it used to be even smoother? 3.1.8 seems smooth to me and it doesn't stutter or anything. Maybe they put a 30 fps cap or something?
It is a LOT smoother. Try finding 3.1.3 and then let me know. Yes 3.1.8 looks fine unless you have seen how much better it is with hardware acceleration.
I was hoping to make a video during the weekend and post it on youtube or something.
I have all these games and they run better on the galaxy S than the iPhone 4 or any other phone they're available for. This phone is so much more powerful and the absolutely stunning screen contrast knocks even the iPhone 4's screen when playing games.
do you have to be rooted? can i just buy it dl it from comp and sideload it using the wonder machine?
you should be able to do it without root. Btw it does matter which phone you pick, games are crippled for certain devices, forgot which ones. And uh, 3.1.8 asphalt is smooth as silk, give it a shot.
p.s. hows dungeon hunter hd? i looked at it but didnt know if it was worth the buy or not.

Um... I had 3.1.8 from the market. You may think it's smooth, as did I, but you won't truly see the light until you switch to 3.1.3.

Yeah mate, try 3.1.3 and then let us know if it really looks that smooth anymore? You will be VERY surprised at how smooth it can really be.
Unfortunately there is little hope gameloft will fix it but I contacted them anyway.
gtg465x glad to read you tried 3.1.3

I have Asphalt 3.1.3. I can't get Nitrous to work most of the time. The button lights when I hit it, but Nitrous doesn't fire. On a random occasion, it does fire. Anyone else having this issue? I do have a screen protector on.

Nintendo DS Emulator got released for droid:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chaos.nds4droid&feature=search_result
I don't think it takes advantage of dual-core processors yet though, nor does it seem to be tablet optimized. Since it just got released its probably not very optimized at all, but hey it works!
I tried playing Pokemon Platinum and i found it too slow to play. Has anyone else had better luck with other games?

Tried Mario Kart... 30 seconds for the number 3 to appear before the race started. After 15 seconds of staring at the 3, I exited and uninstalled it.

I can't even get it to open, just fc's everytime I try to launch it.

To get it to launch you have to put the xoom in portrait mode, then launch the app. It wont launch in landscape mode...lol
I'd be tempted to buy and backup just in case it gets removed from the market or something, and to support the dev's work on getting it optimized. But $6 is way too steep for a app before anyone's reporting it being playable yet.
Version 1.1.4, the latest at the moment I believe, launches on mine in portrait only also, but games are so slow.
In pokemon soulsilver, it took 5 minutes to get the character to take 3 steps left to walk downstairs from his room.
Also not keen about switching between buttons and touch screen all the time, but this is minor compared to the games running at a glacial pace.
But, ya, it is new and I'm sure the dev can squeeze a lot more out of it.
I cant seem to use the touchscreen when playing this...are you guys having issues with the touchscreen as well?
-.- tap the button on the top left and the touchscreen will be available to be used.
been out for ages. not news.

You do realize this thread was started April 6th?
Its better to not read a thread and make a snyde comment about it that adds nothing to the conversation, than it is to read the thread and say something worthwhile.

Hey all,
My brother just got Shadow Era, a Magic the Gathering type game, for his ipod touch so I checked out the company website. Turns out they have a version for Android that was just released! Best of all it is FREE! Downloaded and installed from the market, but when I run it, it gets stuck on the splash screen. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or if anyone can offer a suggestion. Thank in advance. I seriously want to play his game.. haha.
EDIT
In case others wanted to see the trailer. Gotta get more Android users on here.

Same happened to me... I hit home and then opened the game again and it worked from there. Pretty cool game so far
THANK YOU! That did the trick!!
Definitely a cool game! Thanks!
It's not even showing up in the google market for me. It shows up in Amazon, but after downloading, it say "Application did not install" Tried from the APK to, and same result. I found it in the online market, but I "Don't have a compatible device" and it won't let me download.
interesting...
Augh! Why did you go and post this! I had no idea this even existed, I used to eat through the time I should be studying playing the MTG PC game... Sigh. Oh well, it was good to have productive time for a time.
Thanks for the app suggestion (begrudgingly)
@bschrib
Haha, I know the feeling. So many hours spent on MTG...
The good thing though is that the game only has a 200 card pool currently and of those 200 you can only use a few depending on your Hero. I can't stand losing though so I usually end up playing another game after I lose. And then another game after I win.. so basically I end up logging an unhealthy amount of hours on this thing.... :/
compared with other CCGs, Shadow Era is definitely a prime choice!
help
I download shadow era game, when it download the data it stay at 14%, any solution?
if any1 have q solution plz mail me

Just wanted to let everyone know that Order and Chaos seems to be working fine on the Xoom now. Gameloft updated their apk for the game. You are only able to buy the game if you have a support device that is on the list, but if you get the apk and install it on your Xoom it runs with no problems. I have a G2X so i have been playing it on my G2X. I saw that there was a update to the game in the market last night, so i updated and moved the apk from my G2X to my xoom and update that. I played on my Xoom today for about 3 hours and had no crashes at all. You also no longer have you touch under something for it see that you are touching it as well. So it seems the screen problem has been fixed. I just wanted to let every know that the game is now working fine.
the game is really awesome too.
yea I really want this game but even though it will let me buy it for my galaxy tab, I sold the tab so I have no way of getting the APK. Oh well. nothing sucks more than wanting a game and not being able to get it because of something as silly as the gameloft guys haven't updated their market dev side to include the xoom.
Surprised no one's started this one yet. Just a thread for gamers to post what's working and what isn't. Also, to share about any titles that you particularly love. I'm always on the look out for new high quality games. I love FPS and RPG. Not a big fan of strategy which kinda sucks cuz there's SO many out there. Anyway, once I get mine (should be Monday), I'm loading up Deus Ex: The Fall, NOVA 3, Modern Combat 4 (and maybe 5), maybe a couple of Final Fantasy ones, the Bard's Tale, Iesabel, Dead Trigger 2, Temple Run, Super hexagon, Fluid SE, Playstation emu, GBA emu, and whatever else I'm not remembering right now. Anyone else have good ideas? Or other games I should try? Can't wait for Exiles to come out--that's the new massive single player RPG by the same people who gave us Ravesword Shadowlands.
Anyway, thanks for sharing!!
check out the Kingdom Rush series. their latest was just released last night and it's fun as hell.
I bought xcom enemy within last week on my Note 3. I intended to play it on a road trip this week, but they don't support Nexus 6. I copied it over from a titanium backup and restored it, and it runs, but the graphics in the gameplay are really messed up. So I bought Icewind Dale to play instead. It seems to work. Never played it back in the day so looking forward to it.
XModgames does not work at all for me, I am rooted. Anyone else have luck?
Soul Calibur runs great on this phone! Also, it is on sale for $4!

Try Modern Combat 5. It has some intensive graphics. It lagged on G3 a big time. So thinking about its performance on Nexus 6. I've pre-ordered my Nexus 6 but it's yet to come. Here it'll launch on the 2nd week of December
U know, it's weird. I played that game on the lg G3 and it ran GREAT. Thing is, I'm not to crazy about the changes they made from part 4. These super short missions, with specific goals u have to complete. It just seems too controlled. I like part 3 and 4--it's a bit more "open" to however u want to play. Just kill everyone and don't die...lol. Seems simpler. I think they tried to make it too much like dead trigger 2 and the execution wasn't as great. It could just be me--I don't know. You're right about the graphics tho, they are awesome.
EDIT: I meant to quote the post above mine about MC 5. Don't know why it didn't work.
Haven't gotten mine yet. Can someone check to see if Mass Effect Infiltrator is compatible? I liked that game but haven't been able to play it in a while because of incompatibilities.

U know, it's so ridiculous what EA has done (or more appropriately, hasn't done) with this game. I've had sooooo many devices that I don't remember the last one it worked on but I kno it hasn't worked for a LONG time for me on A LOT of devices. Really sucks cuz it was a good game. If u ask me EA is being really stupid. If they updated it, it would still be selling.

I know, same here. I don't remember the last device it worked on. I like console quality games like this. It's a shame they put something out there so good and just move on to something else and leave us hangin. It wouldn't be so bad but really good games are few and far between.
U mean any EA games will not run on our nexus 6 ??? Daam !!!!!! Thts unfair

I downloaded Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and NBA Jam, both of which crash/fail to load on my Nexus 6. I thought it may have been due to my changing DPI, but reverting the DPI resulted in the games still failing to play.
Anyone have any luck playing these games on their N6s?
