[Q] Spectral Souls

Has anyone tried downloading this and running it on their Gtabs? just checked today and they had a new update that allows for tegra 2 support. I've had my eye on this game for quite some time but was reluctant due to the lack of tegra 2 support and the small disclaimer/known issue in the description that said "could not work & crash on 'uncertified' Google Android devices like Archos Tablet, Nook, etc".
So before i go psycho on my wallet and spend +/- 15 usd on this thing, I need someone who owns a Gtab, and was brave enough to buy this game, to confirm compatibility and if so, list down known issues based on experience. Thanks again xda peeps!

i must be getting rusty w/ my searching skills but so far the only threads i've seen about the game are for non tegra 2 devices (NC, Dell Streak, phones, etc) so really somewhat of an "apples and oranges" type of comparison. anyway just checking if anyone who owns the Gtab specifically have tried this game out lately... but no rush (considering that the update was just rolled out less than 24 hrs ago). eagerly awaiting for some first-hand insights!

Just noticed it this morning too. Good chance that I will try it this evening. I honestly don't see why it would crash on the nook though. If all else fails, I still have my Captivate to play it on. It did look nice on the g-tab when I watched it on youtube. I can say this, if your a fan of classic rpgs the sound track alone will blow you away, at least all of what I heard.

I took the $15.00 plunge this morning. The game has a 1 GB download for game data, so you're going to go well beyond the 15 minute refund limit. On the other hand, you gotta love any program that simulates Pong while the download is being counted down.
Once the download is complete, I'll let you know. Looks like it's gonna' take a couple of hours as I'm running this off a EVO hotspot.

looking forward to your impressions of the game -especially those very noticeable pros and cons! i've been a long standing fan of classic JSRPG's ever since i first played final fantasy tactics a long while back and have been left hooked ever since (even enjoyed 2D JSRPG's with mediocre-to-crappy graphics)

The download continues...and Pong is suddenly less fun to watch than it was in my youth. About 1/3 of the way home....

Winner!
Download is done....and Pong now totally sucks. Anyway, bottom line is.....it works. While I haven't had a chance to go too far into the the game, I can tell you that the soundtrack and graphics are both top notch! Is it worth $15.00? Yes.....yes it is if you're into this kind of game.
If you were waiting to buy this but were worried about it running on the GTab, I say go for it. Mind you, I'm on Vegan 5.1.1 so I can't talk about any other ROM.

Thanks for taking the plunge. I had been reading the market reviews to see if a gtablet owner was satisfied. Its way easier to toss 15 bones into the aether knowing your getting something from it.

bang bang racing in Tegra market today for $7.99!

Hey Xoomers, Bang Bang racing is now in the Tegra zone market....enjoy!!! They originally told me it'll be out next week, better now than later!!
UPDATE: The developer has listened to our comments an will add new control options in a future update to the game, resembling the controls like Reckless Racing! The current controls are not bad once you get used to them...love the graphics though

Its in Tegra Appstore now but no link in market. Hopefully its up soon.

I informed the developer of the issue already, let's give it a few minutes and try again

The developer confirmed that it'll be ready to download shortly

They specifically said it will be released at 1pm EDT.

Yeah they were as surprised as I was that it was out already...Tegra Zone released it early....I'm playing it now.

Doesn't have any multiplayer option. For 7.99 it should have multiplayer

Is it good?
This will probably be my first purchase from Market. Yesterday Google finally enabled paid apps for 99 more countries, including the country where I live.

I bought the game about an hour ago. I am not a fan of the control system. I was hoping it would grow on me but after an hour it still isn't great. I hope they incorporate something better in an update.

What are the controls like? Tilt/Sensor or touchscreen?
[edit] decided to give it a go, dissapointing for £4.90, refunded it The control system is odd, dragging my finger in front of the car to dictate where it should go, at the same time obscuring my own view, isn't fun :/

Agreed, I bought Reckless Racing on my Desire, didn't run too well until I traded it in for the Incredible S, yet to try it on my Xoom. Perhaps I should just stick with that

That's really disappointing I was really looking forward to this game. Is there anyway to use a controller wii or zmote?

Cool, I'll wait till then

Got this... doesn't really disappoint. The control scheme as-is (luckily there's a more traditional one coming) isn't half bad, but takes a lot to get used to.
There's no practice mode though. I ended up using Time Trial as my practice. Not a bad start.

I bought it, played for 5 minutes and gave up in disgust at the controls. But, I figured that I'd let them keep the eight bucks rather than take the refund since I want to support people that make games for the Xoom.
Played it again later for about 20 minutes and started to get the hang of the controls. At this point I was having fun even though the controls were still frustrating, so I decided to run down to Best Buy and spend $20 on a stylus. The controls are WAY better with the stylus keeping my big hands out of the way and preventing my hands from getting sweaty so that they stick to the screen.
Love the game now. As an added benefit, the stylus is pretty cool in its own right and now I'm awesome at Fruit Ninja, too.

Another game to show off to iPad lovers!!

It's a silver one carried by Best Buy under the Rocketfish name.

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.

I hope so, too

I got burnt on Nuketown - but it is fun getting First Blood medals on there.
Mostly playing Dom or Ground War with some HQ thrown in to get my Prestige.
I love Stadium for rushing.... too much fun.
I like the new maps as they seem to be pretty balanced. The only one I can't run very well is Hazard - too much sniping for my tastes.
I'm looking forward to BF:3 when it comes out - but will be playing it on CPU instead of Console.
If anyone wants to... I play on PS3 - gamer tag is avgjoegeek (go figure?)

You're a little late on the MGS4
If you enjoyed the stealth aspect of MGS4 you'll probably like Deus Ex Human Revolution.
If you like RPGs Fallout:New Vegas Game Of the Year came out recently and it includes all the DLC plus the base game for less than the cost of the DLC.

Completed it again on Extreme for kicks

Ninja Gaiden Sigma. It's a greatest hit now so it should only be $20 brand new.
God of War III. Definitely worth at least one playthrough.
One of the new versions of Street Fighter.
Dead Space 1&2

Uncharted, all of them. They're the only games that really push your console to its boundaries, and show what it can do. Of course they are good games otherwise too.
If you like racing games, then I recommend Gran Turismo 5, it's a great driving simulator with a LOT of stuff. Car info and prices are quite realistic, and so is the driving itself.
Also, if you care for arcade style race more, the check out Need for Speed Shift 1 and 2. They're also pretty good, just different.

Same here, Uncharted No question. I saw the preview for Uncharted 3, then looked up 2, then grabbed 2, After I read the reviews, I picked up the first one. Played all 3 in order. OMG I would of gotten a PS3 just for that series. There is nothing like it on the 360 (and I am a much bigger 360 fan than PS3)
Check out the preview for "The last of us", from the same makers as Uncharted, but, this is a game that I will have on release day, it looks that good...
If you like different cop type of games, Heavy Rain is a big one for the system and got great reviews.
You could always do the shooter games, Black Ops, MW3, great games, no question but, they are cross platform. I also enjoyed Max Payne 3 (good story if you like Max Payne, I did play the 360 version tho)

Two ther epic games are inFamous & inFamous 2. That is one of THE best games ever made for a console. ;-) Why have all the best characters gotta die? !

I'm a big fan of Battlefield 3(BF in general) too. PC players say it's not a game for consoles, but I disagree. Sure it's better on PC(64P and HC graphics), but you can't say it's not good for PS3. Love that game. Way better than CoD IMO. Don't like playing with 8yr old kids!

Why? They've only released two extensions and there are still three to come(total of 5). Next Battlefield will be released in min. year.

Both BioShock games are really good, the first one has an AMAZING story and the second one lets you dual wield so the gameplay is better. The Portal Games are really good too if you like puzzles, the first one is on The Orange Box which is a great value! It has the Half Life games on it, they are sweet games if you like oldschool style FPS. For upcoming games check out Watch Dogs, Dishonored, and BioShock Infinite.

Battlefield 3 was great until all the worthless updates. CQ is every COD lovers wet dream, people are whoring aim assist, and a number of tweaks have just made the game utterly ridiculous. I will not be buying anymore battle sims in the near future it seems. The game is not anywhere near as fun as it used to be.

I don't understand... The tweaking and updates are only released to balance the game. Practically, there are no over powered weapons due to the active updating. CoD is only updated when there is really really something wrong, a huge bug or something. DICE updates the game to make it fun for every one.
