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.

Android market vs apple app store.

Today i was looking at the market and realized. Why doesn't the android market have really good games like the apple app store? I have an iPod touch and I use that like my gaming/music device and my phone as a social device?
Anyway I got tired of having to carry both so I got the question of why android doesn't have so many good games..
Is android not that popular right now?
Really good apple app store games I like are stuff like real racing 2, Madden NFL 2011, and etc.... is android going to gets these soon?
Sent from my phone

it will depend how popular android will be. i believe more games will be on android platform, just matter of time.

The problem is that with android, developers can now run their own markets instead of having to rely on android market for distribution. That means You'll have to go to each developer (Gameloft, EA, etc) and buy from them directly. It sucks that games Real Racing 2 and Dead Space aren't on android yet, but stuff like GT Academy, Dungeon Defenders, and HAWX will tide you over till the big AAA titles finally get ported.
Edit: At least we get Angry Birds for free

One other factor could be that Android fans don't fork out cash like Apple fans do. Android fans persistently pursue free solutions where Apple fans might give in easier.
Free is what XDA has been all about for years. I have never paid for an app out of my pocket.

Whenever I go to the ea website it says there are no games for your phone. Is this because I'm running a gt i9000 rom?

Are there any other sites like ea sports and gameloft that don't have apps in the market but have them on their own?

[Q] many games not working with my Xoom. why?

hey guys. my wife got a Xoom last week. i know we're late on the scene but its new to us and we're having a blast. me specially trying games.
I saw somewhere here that Asphalt 6 and Brothers in Arms were verified working on the Xoom.
Asphalt installs and downloads the files, when I skip the intro movie, the game crashes to the launcher homescreen. Brother in Arms installed and loaded the game, but it was all white with absolutely no textures while the game actually played. Shrek Kart (which played beautifully on my Evo) crashes when I try to run it, I don't even see the intro screen or the gameloft logo (it did run the first time and download the files). this is similarly what happens with Let's Golf 2 HD.
Homerun Battle 3D installs and lets me get through the trainer but when I get to actual gameplay, it crashes.
those are the ones I remember. there's been a few others that have crashed and/or not worked.
we have a stock Xoom. since it's my wife she's hesitant about rooting it, so no root, no overclocking, no software changes. updated to 3.1 and that's it.
why are all these games, some of which I've seen comments that they either work fine or are verified to work with tablets and/or specifically with the xoom and don't work for us?
thanks!

It sounds like you're speaking about 4 gameloft titles.
Gameloft in general has had only sub-par performance in the Honeycomb market space so far, with pretty much all of their titles breaking going from 3.0 to 3.1 honeycomb.
To my knowledge, they only officially support the Xoom on like 1 of those games.
That's all I have to add to this topic.

the 4 Gameloft games that are compatible with the xoom according to Gameloft are Spiderman HD, heroes of Sparta, nova HD, and asphalt 5 or 6 HD (can't remember which).
Others may work but if they don't gameloft won't help. They have terrible policies. They don't accept any returns no matter what I.e no matter how buggy their games are. At least if they are supposed to support a device they will try to help, but still no returns. I had them send me a revised apk of heroes of Sparta because the original afficial one didn't work. It took them 5 days but whatever.... I guess.
For a list of HD Gameloft games that have been found to work on the xoom there is a thread somewhere on here. I forget the guys name who started it and is testing them all though. Its like darkLordOfFeces of something like that.

yeah I saw that list...and it's not correct. I think his list is compatible with 3.0 not 3.1.
spiderman hd works only as far as until I beat up the first three bad guys or so in the intro. then it FCs. asphalt 6 downloaded the files but then once I skip the intro movie it closes to the launcher without any message.
ahh i want those two games...although more specifically, Asphalt 6 HD because I don't have any really good looking racing games. I have a few, but none that look as good.

I bought Asphalt 6 and promptly disputed the purchase through Paypal (and got my money back). Some weeks later, they fixed it and sent me a new download link. It does work, but I will never buy another Gameloft title.
Please try out Riptide GT its a very cool water racing game!

hi.. i'm using iconia a500.. although different devices but i've installed this 4 games of gameloft by using xoom installer..
i've rooted my iconia.. and i've facing the same problems like you.. the games force close after few minutes of play..
then, i've recover back to stock rom 3.0.1... and I can play all the games without any crashes!
when I update my stock rom to the OTA 3.1.. again the games crashed as before .. seems that the official rom also causing problems.
I'm not sure whether the problems come from the hc 3.1 or from the gameloft themselves, but this is very disappointing since you need to stay using 3.0.1 to place these games..
so.. you need to downgrade you xoom to 3.0.1 to able to play the game
loft games.
cheers..

The latest, most up-to-date versions of those games are working on 3.1 for me. If you are using an old version, they will not work on 3.1!! You must have the latest updated version directly from gameloft.
The games working on 3.1 from gameloft are, Nova, Asphalt 6, Spiderman, Hero Of Sparta for the Xoom and Brothers In Arms 2 for the LG Optimus 2x.

well since I posted this thread I rooted and moved to Tiamat and now Asphalt 6 seems to be working. only played through a quick race but it's further than I had ever gotten.
spiderman hd also let me play a little more but then crashed to desktop. i'll have to see if the overclocking is affecting it at all.
thanks for the replies.

The problems with gameloft/gameloft games is/are:
Gameloft only moves fast if it is one of the most popular android devices
Everytime gameloft finally decided to update their games a new android version comes out

As long as those are the only issues!

Good Bye [email protected]

I am a [email protected] addict for some time. Such games are awsome to be played on Galaxy note. recently, i upgraded my phone to ICS and it went smoothly. i didnt format the phone afterwards. the games were still played, yet the device was little slow. after i formated the device, all gameloft games stopped working. i mean, after installing them again. they start with the demo, then black screen. this is only with gameloft games. other games, like of Marvel, work just fine
please help

Thank you for your prompt reply. I believe my case is close to urs, but not the same. As I said, the games work fine after the upgrade for some time. but after i formatted the device, they no longer do. I played back stab for more than a month, before and after upgrading to ICS.

Hmm and this is the official update correct ?

Gaming Thread

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.

Hey all. Just got crescent moons new RPG, exiles. Its a SciFi themed ravensword shadowlands. It's available through one of their humble bundle packages. Just Google it, if interested.

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.
