Gameloft Games

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

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.

Angry Birds for Android (Lite) OUT NOW!!!

http://www.talkandroid.com/13118-an...lite-officially-confirmed-for-friday-release/
Woohoo! I love this game on iTouch because it's so damn addicting! But damn, i'm gonna have to do all those levels again . Now here's hoping to Plants vs Zombies!

woopwoop this is a really fun game

if they port PvZ.. I hope they include the other modes as well.. not just adventure

+1 to pvz!

I never noticed if it did. Most of the time I played though people would take 40+ minutes to play their turn.
I was playing one night while watching a movie on my tv, and I was able to watch the whole 2 hour movie and then some family guy before the person played their next turn.
Want to know their word? W-I-T-H. 2 and a half hours for a 10 point word. Srsly?

Words with friends with cross platform Feint = Willing to pay 10$ for that.. if that ever happens..

Word feud still has those damn annoying pop ups. I think WWF would be much better based on it being like the iphone/touch version. Wordfeud needs to implement stats, as well as resign for the non current player to really be a good game.
I was just turned on to Angry Birds, I am sure it will be really good after a couple months on Android.

WordFeud is still a work in progress and it is getting better with each update. I would definitely pay for it to have the ads go away.

I will pay for plants vs zombie like MURDER money

Go get it!

Does anyone know where the beta apk can be downloaded? It's not showing up in my marketplace

I checked my market place and don't see it. Is it really there? Is there a qrcode for it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I saw "Angry Birds" on Appbrain, but it is a scam trading on the good name of the iPhone game.

Found it on AppBrain. Has a QRCode too for those that don't have AppBrain installed.
Angry Birds on AppBrain

Is anyone else not getting angry birds in their market?

QR Code doesn't find anything in the market...

Dungeon Defenders Launches tomorrow (12/23) and is Tegra2 Compatible!

Our beloved Viewsonic Gtab will be the best Android platform for this game by far, anyone else excited?

Did I mention this will have an online multiplayer mode, also the first game for Android to use the Unreal Engine.

I've been waiting for this release, looks like it is going to be awesome. And like you said, they say tegra 2 is the best platform.

but will it work for our tablet? i know a lot of games have not been working for the tab but is it because we are using tegra2 or because developers just don't recognize our tablet?

hey anyone waiting for the game to be release, Trendy Entertainment tweeted that it will be release Friday afternoon.

This game looks and runs great
The graphics and smooth gameplay are incredible and immersive.
This is a good example of what will come in the future.
This is what I was hoping for when I first purchased the Z pad.

Riptide will be out later today!! Graphics to rival IOS games

Hey Xoomers! The developer of Riptide just contacted me to confirm that the game will be out today! It looks to really take advantage of Tegra and will be well worth the 6.99 purchase. Future games will come to Android but sales do matter, so hit that BUY NOW button tomorrow and show those Ipad owners what Xoom n Tetra can do!!

Also a first day purchase for me as well. I'm looking forward to this release. Thanks for the headsup!

Bangs been upgraded...have to wait till i get home to try new controls

This needs touch screen controls, I don't like having to tilt my xoom 90 degrees or more to turn. Touch screen would be more accurate too.

I know. It now has controls but this one has no on screen controls. Strictly accelerometer.

Lovin it! Gives me my hydro thunder fix on the go. Accelerometer makes sense asyou need your fingers to perform stunts and give boost.

I'm really enjoying this game, I also think the controls work well over all, I find myself needing to tap the break to get past the tight turns when coming in at high speed, also to hit the boost button and to do tricks. the tilt controls work better than most games i've played, you don't have to do full right angle turns of the device or anything. really enjoying it, I think it's one of the best games i've played on the xoom, also has good graphics and nice water physics.

Arma II firing range out. Anybody check it out yet? Opinions?

Looks cool. I feel like I'm always ready to jump at any new game because the selection is so limited... anybody tried it?

I had the same problem. I had to log into the Android market on my computer and bought it then it downloaded to my Xoom.

The game is cool and works well until you leave the range and then openfeint crapware kicks in and nukes game play, you have to restart the game to get a different weapon.
did 2 reviews about the game on android market and the devs pulled 1 review down, i suspect my second review will be pulled shortly..lol
Buy it if you can put up with openfeint ware crapping out ALL the time.
EDIT: LOL, yup, second review has been pulled. LOL
