Better games - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

hey guys. I just thought.. since we can find the thread for developers working together to port android / linux n stuff like that onto the hd2, with a bounty as well..
Why not better games for the hd2? im pretty sure the hd2 can handle games with as good graphics / gameplay as the iphone. or probably even better. but its so tough to find fun games that get u addicted.Even if u do, u probably have to pay like 10-15bucks or more for it. I honestly think that's just crazy.
I know this might be because the hd2 is one of the few WM phones that has incredible specs..the first with multi touch support as well, therefore not many developers are willing to develop games for WM, which probably only hd2 or the toshiba phone can support. I'm hoping some of the great developers on xda can help us hd2 users out!
I've got some of the better PPC games like Prince of Persia n Assassin's Creed and all.. but honestly, as much as I hate to say it, look at iphone games. Graphics are easily better. It also doesnt have to be too complicated ? short simple games just to kill time when say.. ur friend is late in meeting u or something like that would also be cool, as long as it has awesome graphics n good gameplay
I also think all hd2 users would greatly appreciate it if the games made use of multi touch. I have the Asterix n Obelix game with a virtual gamepad,which i really like. But it doesn't support multi touch n that's just kinda disappointing..
Haters can hate all they want. Sorry if i get anyone upset, im a Newbie here. It's well known that though overall the HD2 can kick iphone's ass.. in terms of gaming, we can't really put up much of a fight

You need to look a bit further mate.
For starters there is FPSECE... a full speed fully functional playstation emulator (with MultiTouch for HD2). Meaning you can play the entire library of PSOne games on your phone.
Then there is morphgear... also an emulator... capable of playing the entire library of NES,SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance and GameGear titles.
I dont care what anyone says... i very much doubt that the iPhone has as many quality games as the original Playstation let alone all the other consoles on top of that.
Happy Hunting!

Also... before anyone says anything... yes the IPhone has a Playstation emulator also but:
a) you will need to jailbreak your device to use it
and
b) It is a complete joke compared to FPSECE
see comparison here:

i agreeeee!!
i agree completely with what you are saying football fan! i too love my htc hd2! but it almost appears like developers are just not interested in making "clever" and "simple" yet still entertainer games for hd2. btw every time i look at the marketplace i almost laugh and how inferior it is to the app store (also not a iphone fanboy, but have to admit i am a app store fan boy for the time being!)

Is there a car driving game with g-sensor support? Asphalt 4 HD don´t work with g-sensor.

[REQ] A Game like TouchGrind (iPhone)

hi, i'm searching a game like this one..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uDKCBiYDOk - TouchGrind
this game is for the iphone users... but does such an game already exist for WM... ? that would be awesome!
I have not found one yet. I have been looking for a game like this for WM for a while.
Sure would be nice to have!
up ! I wanna play this game on my hd2 pls !
nobody knows a game like this one

i want farmville on hd2
mostly wm games are craps.
don't expect too much for that except wp7.
fortunately there's an emulators for wm that allow you to play many quality serious games
like nrfitchett4 has said "a psx emulator with over 1000 titles isn't enough?"
play the emulators, forget wishing iphone games

Where are all the decent games?

Is it just me or is there a lack of decent games available for the HD2. I have Xtract, and enjoy it too, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of other games around. I'm not talking rubbish time killers. I'm on about the ones with good graphics and G-Sensor integration.
Anyone shed any light?
And before anyone mentions it, I don't want an iPhone, or games console. I would just like to play a reasonably good game or 2 on my HD2.

Ivy the Kiwi
Virtual Pool Mobile

You should really get the supporter version. I got multi-touch working, supporter version includes more frames to add keys (unlike the 4x3 in the free version) I think you get 7x6
More options. Ive been playing RPGs, gran turismo with no problems.
The thing is that there are lots and lots of working apps and GAMES for winmo But the problem is that most of them are very graphically UGLY! such as assassins creed, avatar, asphalt, ferrari evolution and the longest list in the world goes on! Those are all ugly! and pixelated!
ive DL an play so many games and the only ones that i keep are the ones that are graphically good. those are, and are the only ones ive have on my HD2 are
crayon physics
experiment 13
xtract
flight commander
starcraft
teeter
resco snakes
oregon trail (not the best, but itll do)
sbp brin evolution
pool rebel
simpsons 2 (not the arcade one!)
archbalchs adventure
and that's it!
I have not found any good games that are both good and graphically better.
If anyone can add to my list, id appreciate it!

I know what you mean. I FREAKIN HATE how the iPhone/iTouch comes nowhere near the hardware that the hd2 has, but as far as games and apps it has some of the best graphics around. I know not all Windows Mobile phones have the same specs as the iPhones all do, but they DEFINITELY need to take advantage of the higher end models.\
btw, that hd2blogs is a warez site. Dunno why that idiot makes it so obvious.

don't expect much
Lets be real here guys...to be honest looking for any high caliber game currently for the hd2 is a lost cause. Unless you're playing games using an emulator (morphgear, fpsece...which I might add aren't perfect...oldschool compared to today's games, and bring a load of headaches i.e. control issues, mulitiouch issues, gamepad issues, sound issues - (be prepared to do your homework to get good playability out of them) there just isn't much being offered.
High quality WVGA games are extremely hard to find. Now bear in mind I'm not saying there are no fun games...but don't expect high quality out of the games from gameloft, etc. They don't focus on the windows mobile platforms...i.e try playing need for speed undercover on the hd2 vs the same game on the ipod touch FIRST GENERATION. The 1G Ipod version puts the hd2 version's to shame.
Zenonia 2, the new squaresoft rpg game coming out, etc...none of it is available for our precious hd2 unfortunately. I certainly didn't get the hd2 for gaming, but after using my Ipod 1g for a very long time, and coming to windows mobile for the first time w/ the hd2...I didn't really expect the huge gap in the amount of quality current generation games vs apple. I had actually thought because of the sheer hardware power, the hd2 would be a gaming powerhouse (which it could be), but I really have been blown away by the huge lack of quality game software.
Anything apple wins because of the apps available argument...it does have some truth in it (regardless of hardware specs). W/o xda I'd really be regretting the purchase.

looking for some good android rpg games.. not likemob wars

i want to look for some decent android rpg games, but cant find any. i downloaded parallel kingdom, and trying zenonia... i really dont like games like mob wars etc.
any suggestions?
Assuming you aren't diehard on the idea of having to play multiplayer games on Android, my best suggestion to you is get an SNES emulator to play the classic games such as Chrono Trigger (drool) and the older Final Fantasy games.
If you are thinking about single player games, then:
Zenonia and Caligo Chaser are definitely the best ones.
There is ADOM port to Android, if you like roguelikes. I have spent A LOT of time on it - it's fantastic to slash some orcs in a bus ;-)
There are many good RPGs on NES or Gameboy and you could run them using emulators.
My apologies for raising this thread, and hello to the forum.
Brut.all, could you please point me towards this ADOM port for android? Haven't been able to find it.

I was wrong, I was playing Angband, not ADOM - sorry. Unfortunately ADOM is closed source, but its author is considering open sourcing it, so maybe it will be droidized in some future
I was afraid so... I thought that somebody had collaborated with Biskup to port ADOM to Android. Some day hopefully
Thanks anyway for your quick reply
Crusade of Destiny is an ok game reminds me of EQ for some reason. I been wanting to try dungeon hunter the screen-shots look good.
Hero of Sparta is a very fun game.
I know Hero of Sparta might not be 100 rpg, but its closest to fill that void (besides giving into the drug of choice WoW "2 months clean")
hey u guys talking about ang? well in that case im playing nethack and slash em on the droid. . . but for the controls i mapped it to my wii remote, so i don't have to rely on the virtual keyboard. can you imagine how hard it was to kick down a highly resistant door with the virtual keyboard lol i kept pressing k and then the direction of the door. let's not even talk about sinks lol. . . anyway, wii remote + nethack is the way to go if you like rpgs. i don't see anything else that resembles a playable rpg on the droid market thus far.
I just got a Droid X (first android phone, and LOVING it), and I'm looking for some games to check out. Emulators sound like a good route to try, is there somewhere they're available online? Preferably free, if possible? And can anyone recommend a good emulator available in the Market?
(S)NESoid is pretty good and also free. Pay to get the non lite version and use savestates. Unfortunately for me the SNES version is too slow and choppy on my MT3G.
Zenonia !
all the way
hope you enjoy ur Droid X
Not what you traditionally think of as RPGs, but Choice of Broadsides and Choice of the Dragon are terrific little choose-your-own-adventure type games. They've probably been the best games I've played yet on my Slide.
Wacky Toons RPG
Maybe you could check out Wacky Toons RPG. It's actually written for android and not a port from old systems.
In my opinion, here are some of the good Android RPGs:
10. Battleheart
9. Heroes of Loot
8. The Bard's Tale
7. Shadowrun Returns
6. The Forest of Doom
5. Sorcery! 2
4. 9th Dawn
3. Knights of Pen & Paper +1
2. Final Fantasy VI
1. The World Ends with You
Hope it helps!

Where does one get "HD Games" for the HD2?? (Droid beating WM?)

Hey been getting irked abit that the windows marketplace sucks.. I know EA has games on their site one can download.. however.. if you noticed lets take Need for speed games. WM version looks o.0 crap. While Iphone and hell Droid versions of the game are \o/ and fun with motion control.
Now Im sure the HD2 has some good things too.. but where are they hiding? Anyone know? Or is this online game world turning into iphone droid only (For the best gameplay stuff)
Quite like Asphalt 4d - motion control is a feature but I turned it off. Xtract (free) is good too with nice graphics. If you want really good HD style games though on the HD2 get the playstation emulator and you'll never look back (and other phone owners will be very jealous). There's a free version but it's worth getting the supporter version as it makes it a lot easier to control the games. Search "tekken 3 on hd2" on youtube and you'll get the idea.
James
So the supported version plays better on HD2? I tried the regular one before.. didnt get anywhere with it.. Now before I do get it... is it enjoyable WITHOUT Cobolt ps3 controller software?
I guess im more annoyed that the only reason I like my iphone 2g.. is just for its games.. has some nice ones, even my G1 has nice ones, then I have my HD2.. and all I can say is "My Puzzle Quest is fun.." >.> Yea.. heh.
totally agree that there aren't that much quality games for hd2, but you might give a go to:
Electopia
Experiment 13
OddBlob
Platypus
Catcha Mouse
Police Range
Super Boxing
Tiki Towers
Droplets
These are really good games and I would say that their quality even matches the ones made for an iphone.

You're right. The game selection sucks. Lots of the developers are saying it's just too hard to develop a nice graphics game for Windows Mobile. While some like Xtrakt or Project 13 are ok, they aren't fully supported. They require little work arounds that I just feel makes the games not live up to the "fully supported" title. They just work. Then there are some that are just sprites cut into different poses like the ones Zarpy makes. They aren't bad but not the high def like you're asking for. So far, yeah the PSX emulator will be your best bet. It's pretty much the only one worth having and paying for in my opinion.
there are abunch of games just have to look.

Pls stop posting Warez links....
There are plenty of games out there but we dont need Warez links round here.....
If you want a list of what games are available try here
Or here is another one I found
There are tons of these threads about... Just Google it..
Plebs posting Warez is getting worse these days.....
Here's anther thread I want closed out...
Do you want XDA to loose its credibility and get shut down?
You want something? Go and pay for it like the rest of us!
Eroc, one can search sure, but you got any links to what your posting? Now that blogspot had some good apps I needed. Like the Jspa program manager.
Snowblind what are you on?? Who is asking for Warez?! Im asking what games are good that are in higher quality. Marketplace sucks for finding anything decent, even going to EAs website doesnt give you much. Yet the HD2 came with some "HD" versions of games. yet you cant find them.
Now forum posts I know there is a "Apps thread" and so, however its not like its linking "Hey here is EA, Gameloft, website for HD2 games" or so.
So again, so far no warez links are on this thread, nor was it being asked for. Im just getting annoyed that Android phones of the same thing for HTC are getting better games then Windows mobile is.

What's the best RPG?

Hi everyone. Just want a bit of help really. I want a good Final Fantasy type RPG to sink my teeth into, and was wondering which you all think is the best. Every time I look on the Market I just keep getting MMO's, lol. It can be either 2D or 3D.
hey, i visit these forums everyday but i just forgot i had an account xD by the way, i know some titles.
Symphony of Eternity (JRPG)
Eve of the Genesis (JRPG)
Zenonia 1,2,3 (Action-JRPG much like 2d zeldas)
Eternal Legacy (JRPG, its the gameloft version of FF13, i think its quite boring)
these are also endless possibilities with emulators. even if you don't have an xplay, JRPGs are playable on touchscreen
i'd also like to expand the topic a little bit. I'm searching for western rpgs, as close as elder scrolls as possible. On android, there are some open world games like GTA3 or GOF2, but they are not rpgs, also there's no fantasy medieval setting. Earth and legend is kinda sucky and boring. Dungeon hunter 2 is a bad diablo/torchlight clone.
Then, there are emulators. On the psx theres diablo which is awesome and addictive, but its far from being a WRPG. There is also a jap-only version of ultima underworld but its, ya know... jap-only. On the snes there is ultima 6, might and magic 3, and eye of the beholder. The former has a strange system (can't really figure out what to do), the latter two are candidates even if they have parties and the action window is small. Haven't tried them yet. Exact same for Mazes of fate on the GBA. On the n64 there's gauntlet legends which is like diablo if i'm not mistaken. Then there's of course zelda OOT, MM and a bunch of horrible games like quest 64. The zelda titles are of course awesome but they're not what i'm looking for.
Someone has managed to get daggerfall running on andosbox. I tried and it went slow and laggy as in his video. However he pm'd me saying it can be made to run at full speed.
In the end, i'd really like suggestions, on android games and emulators alike. I hope i haven't gone off topic, just wanted to help bluescorpion and to not get clumsy with a redundant topic.

Thanks for the help man, I'll try them out. And I totally forgot about my emulators, lol. I'm gonna DL FFV and Secret of Mana.
I wish you could get the original Fallout on Android.
I've had a hell of a fun time playing Eve of Genesis. There are so many hidden items to obtain, extra bosses after the "final" boss and a lot of customization with the characters and skills.
Zenonia 3 was also a lot of fun. Very hack and slash but good for a playthrough. This game also has extra content after beating the game the first time. There is a "Hard" mode and a "Hell" mode as well.
SNES RPGs are plentiful. Don't think I need to go into the mainstream ones but if you haven't played Treasure Hunter G, find a translated ROM immediately and play it. Only released in Japan but it's an amazing game.
No problem man fallout is completely mouse driven, right? dunno if that could work for me. I also thought about GemRB for baldur's gate ecc., is it worth it? does it work on the gamepad? I think many of those games need mouse anyway.
as for JRPGs, if you take emulators into account there's a whole lot even of non-mainstream ones. On the SNES try Star Ocean, Terranigma and Illusion of Gaia, on the PSX try Persona, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve (the first one), Chrono Cross and Wild Arms. Of course if you don't know them already.
Huh, onlive has the witcher. Can it be played on the xplay? I can't try as i'm not in uk/us. Maybe there's a way around that
You can always emulate classic PsOne RPGs like FF7 8 9 on FPSE if you're feeling
android RPGs are bad..
On my case I'm still playing Spectral Souls and its a good one for me.. Id also want to try out Generation of Chaos but buying a second pricey RPG game is too much for me right now. But hyperdevbox games speaks for itself, their games are good compared to other games which looks like it was made from RPGmaker.
Ive tried Eternal Legacy since it has nice graphics but I quit playing after a few hours since I find less action and effort of Gameloft here to actually even clone Final Fantasy. I hate that you can only select commands for the main character and just select a command profile for the other party members.. *sigh*
that's my main thoughts on the turn-based RPGs.
If Im going to play a slash-and-destroy-your-way RPG I'd definitely pick Dungeon Hunter over cartoony Zenonia series but both are good games you should get.
But right now, aside from hyperdevbox RPGs, I'd say PSOne RPGS are still best.

I recommend Castle of Shadows.. looks pretty good, kinda interesting story and it's fun
But.. I'm not sure if it's the sort of game you are looking for.
For me, there's not a single mobile game that has the character or charm of even the worst console/PC game.

Truthfully, I would have to agree with you on that. I'm not feeling the love for many of the mobile games. Maybe I'm just old, I dunno. Although I do like plenty of newer PC RPGs. **cough Skyrim** But that is a different animal all together. The Zenonia series deserves a good score though, it's a good action RPG. Also, Pocket Legends seems good enough to be a totally free MMO. Neither of those are really like Final Fantasy though. Run all the PSOne Final Fantasy games though PSXPeria and/or FPSE and you'll be in heaven. I'm playing through Final Fantasy Tactics right now. I'm also after the dozens of PSOne RPGs that I never got too, such as Xenogears, Grandia and Chrono Cross. Google something like Top PSX RPGs and you'll find tons of top 10 type lists with lots of RPGs.
Use GameBoid to emulate Golden Sun and its sequel.
Final fantasy tactics, front mission 3,

You won't find a single mobile phone game at sixty dollars either. I'm afraid good story telling, scripting and so on has its price and it will never get cheaper, it's not like graphical power which has catch-up economies and gets cheaper to use with time.
I agree with logs, your comparing 2 diffrent genres, mobile games are cheap to make and cheap to buy, console games have massive budgets and hundreds maybe thousands of people involved in the development, where as mobile games would be lucky to have a team of 10 programmers.

If you're looking for something that's actually console-quality, go for Spectral Souls and Generation of Chaos.
Kind of unfair listing those since they are actually full-on console ports, but hey... they're in unplayable condition on PSP, so Android's pretty much their only real releases. I'll let you know right now that, if you can leap over that psychological "Holy ****, that's $15 for a goddamn phone game!" barrier, you'll have found the games that don't 'feel' like mobile phone RPGs.
Honestly, I don't mind the mobile phone RPGs either. Symphony of the Eternity, Alphadia and Eve of the Genesis have brought me something I've been wanting for a while... some Final Fantasy-like games from their 2D prime that have a new, fresh feel.
yeah, i forgot about Spectral Souls, but i've never been into strategy RPGs, i thought he didn't want that stuff.
Hey TLR, i sent you a pm on youtube about open world WRPGs, could you give it a look when you have time? It can also add a bit to the discussion here

You have a fair point there. And that's why I bought a PLAY tbh, because I wanted to play games that was £40 once. But we're just waiting for more ATM, lol Hurry up with PlayStation Suite Sony.
I'm using AnDosBox and playing Betrayal at Krondor
uh, how does it run? how about daggerfall? aaaaand... can you map buttons?
