I was wondering if any body out there had a list of compatible FPS games for the Droid 4. I really enjoy gaming on my phone but I'm sick and tired of downloading and installing games such as Modern Combat just to find out at the end of the install that the game is not compatible. I've looked up and down on the net for some kind of compatibility list but can't seem to find any thing at all. These are just a few of the games that I currently have on my Droid 4 that run smoother than a new born baby's butt and I've never had any compatibility issues with what so ever. If you know of any other similar games that work on the Droid 4, please add to the list.....
Dead Trigger
Mass Effect Infiltrator
Dead Space
Shadowgun
Shadowgun DeadZone
Backstab
CS Portable

Oh WOW! So apparently NOBODY plays ANY FPS on their Droid 4's? Really? That is simply amazing. FYI, in case you guys didnt know. the Droid 4 can play some really good console quality games since it seems nobody knows that.....

You're not the only one! I use emulators on my Droid 4 to play some of my favorite classic console games... EG Mortal Kombat, SNES ROMs.. you get me. So don't feel so alone! And thank you for the list that you have made. I will be checking out all of them!
I'll ask my son. He play a couple of them. I do know some of the games won't show up in Google Play. I have to buy them on my HOX+ but after that I can easily install them and play them on the Droid 4/Photon Q 4G LTE.

Are you joking? Only about half of them were "3D". Most of them were even decent. Sure they aren't Modern Warfare 2 or whatever is popular these days, but IT'S ON A CELL PHONE.
Nice vid, gave me some more games to buy.
I wish Android would crank out some awesome RPG/2d platform games and make retro gaming huge again.
I emailed Hexage and they said they're looking into making a new game like that BUT NO OFFICIAL WORD YET
so Don't go off sayin' and spreadin'
RPG for Android
Baldur's Gate or any BioWare Infinity Engine games would be awesome. Or a remake of Fallout 1 or 2. Both projects have a open source following, aka Pocket Fallout and GemRB but none have pushed anything into the Android market.
great list, might just want to downgrade from my 10mb ram hack to play some of these 3d games =)
thanks you! i didnt know half of these games existed.
where I can find these games for free?
I get the need for speed and put this on app ...but I can run it
Great video!
like those are the best games..
RPG vs Runner games
Since most of users of this forums are development related people, and are at least a bit nerdy, no wonder that they would like some more RPG games, but real money are made not on guys like me and you but on housewifes, which want easy games with cute graphics like.
Did anyone else read the article(s) on engadget?
And does anyone have said games?
Basically, there have been a few games ported over to android
(Raging Thunder 2, Homerun Battle 3D, Skies of Glory)
that can still play online with iPhone users? I think it'd be epic.
But seriously.
Skies of Glory is in the market for 5 bucks. Just bought it, trying it out.
Raging Thunder 2 is also 5 bucks, buying it as well.
Will not be buying homerun battle, but it is also $5
Has anyone actually played these games?
Skies of Glory: Haven't bought yet,tried it on my friend's iTouch,its an ok game.
Raging Thunder 2: :\ As a racing game,its OK but Asphalt 5 is better.
Homerun Battle 3D: I suck at it.

Do those games require precise multitouch control on the Nexus One?

Not that I'm aware of.
Mainly, as far as I can tell, Raging Thunder is tilting the phone using the accelerometer, and maybe pressing a few places on the screen (brake and boost).
Same thing with Skies of Glory, only instead of brake and boost, it's shoot.
I like to play those "LIVE" text games. Kingdoms Live is one. My cousin has an iPhone 4 and we're in the same army together.
They're addicting though.
Well, as it turns out, I'm bloody horrid at almost every game I play.
Don't get me wrong I think Android is great but I think it lacks a lot compared to the games for Iphone.
Why havn't the Devs come along and built the same type of QUALITY games for android that they have done for Iphone?
I have just sat for about an hour and hunted in the Android market for games similar to games ive just searched for on the itunes store, and all I can really find is cheap nasty replicas with bad graphics,shocking reviews and even scamming copies of certain games Zombies WAW is one thats on the market now.
Does anyone think/know if the gaming quality will be ever be as good as the Iphone, becasue I hate Iphones and it would kill me to get one to just play decent games.
Hmm, doubt it.

Why searching the same games? If I want to play iphone like games no doubt the best choice is....iPhone.
Android is the first operating system on phones in the world, and if you want good games you can have plenty... Android is not ios so don't think you'll find the same apps.

+1 for that. Android has many great games. for examples, games made by gameloft have nice graphics. Or from Pocket Legends. Cut the Rope (similar to iOS) also nice, angry birds, etc. Or my other favorite puzzle/mystery games such as mystery of the crystal portal, paranormal agency, etc. Many great games. Maybe it's because there are many more free games in android, many developers just upload crappy games. But if u want to search games that may (or may not) resemble iphone, u'll be pleasantly surprised at the results. Some android phones have better hardware than iphone. So, I guess there'll be many games that u'll love as long as u can find them.
The iphone is the most popular phone in the world.
Game companies want to make the most money possible.
They choose Apple over Android.
...
mega profit?
That is the only reason. That, and the fact that they only have to make one version of said game that will work on pretty much ALL apple devices, whereas, a decent looking Android game wont work on phones without GPU's, which is probably around 40-odd% of all Android phones on the Market.
Eventually, android will catch up with games and apps, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller all the time. It wont take long.

I have read in your gaming thread that many games are not compatible with galaxy note.As i am a gaming freak.itz the main reason i want to buy galaxy note.I want to know in future will this game compatibility issue will be taken care of?or will games be released compatible with the high resolution of note...plz help me...thanx in advance
Tintin from Gameloft
So far, a few games are not quite compatible with the Note, in the sense of looking too "soft" as they were not designed for the larger screen. The most notable fail for me is Adventures of Tintin in HD, which I was excited about seeing on a larger screen, as I purchased it when I owned the Galaxy S2. But the game is a different 2D version (horrible, ultra-pixelated 1980s game kind of look) on the Note. Subsequently, Gameloft prevented Note users from downloading the game but there's no refund. What a bummer, and certainly not an extremely pleasant experience dealing with the customer service, who sounded too matter of fact about it.
I suggest that you list the games that are critical to you, and some of us can help to check.
Help me with gta 3..nfs hot pursuit..9mm..i have read the whole gaming thread..for some people the games run for some they doesnt..vry confusing..

for me, gta3 ran when i downloaded over wifi, but not when i downloaded over 3g (probably due to crappy 3g in australia leading to corrupted files).
there are many different gta 3 versions on the market, there should be one for your area.
as for gameloft games, most dont really work too well. gameloft arent too great with their device support yet, but theyre not as bad as ea games.
Hey I also game a lot and I just got my galaxy note.
From the gameloft games, I am able to run (well):
- backstab
- asphalt 6
- brothers in arms 2 (there is a free version on the market)
- modern combat 3 (now available on the market)
What I am trying to run but can't:
- tintin (2d version...no way to get the normal one, I also copied the data over but nothing)
- 9mm - doesn't download the data: incompatible device
- shadow guardian : tried the galaxy tab version...data downloaded, gameloft logo than back to main screen
- rainbow six shadow guardian: the desire hd version i bought some time ago doesn't run. I am trying a samsung version now...downloading the data still don't know whether it will work
- let's golf 3: nothing...incompatible device. copying the data over doesn't help.
Other games:
- dead space: not on the market but you can find it and runs flawless
- shadowgun: no problems. available on the market
- shine runner : on the market
- riptide gp: same
- GTA 3 should run without problems...i still have to buy it, i have to finish some games before playing gta.
- sprinkle : flawless (no black bars on the sides)
- reckless racing
And of course some other minor games from the market...of course angry birds, cut the rope, apparatus and some others....but i am more interested in 'gameloft' games and unfortunately no game (apart from modern combat 3) is officially working. To get some to work you have to manually do everything...and not always work. That's why i am trying all the games (which I had bought and never played...what luck now they don't work on the new phone -_-) too see how many i can get to run.
Anyway in January gameloft should update most of the games and get them to run on the device. I am sure they are working on it.
So far every game I have has played perfectly on the note So no problems for me. But then again I don't play any of those games that you play. I'm a casual gamer (puzzles, word games, etc). I highly recommend the Note.
If any games don't run NOW, they probably will because all developers have to do is tweak their configurations.
good news for the original poster

I don't play a TON of games on my D4 but I have yet to find one that is not compatible. Everything from Angry Birds on the low end the Deadspace on the higher end have all worked fine for me.

I've only ever tried to play Raging Thunder on the D4. It crashes after the splash screen loads.

Asphalt 7 is the only game that did seem a bit slow to me (like 15 fps or so in the peak), but still enjoyable Haven't had any compatibility issue, but then again Google Play offers you only apps compatible with your device
Hint: if it's too slow, restart the phone. And don't install too many background-running apps.

Exactly. And the emulators that allow keyboard mapping. <3
There is a few stuff that I did not find compatible. Though pretty much all the main stuff is supported. Most stuff runs well, NSF MW does. Though some games the swamp and beach buggy racers from the creators of Riptide GP are slow, atleast for me. But Riptide GP works great.
