What Android Marketplace really needs most: Quality Games

That is the only thing I miss about my iPhone (Android ftw though). The games are so damn good on it.
Look at this upcoming one:
Splinter Cell: Conviction
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtube_gdata&v=dcrHbXe_JRA
I absolutely love my Nexus but the games aren't up to par. I wanna try some of the new Gameloft games but I was told that because of the multitouch limitations that the N1 has they are terrible to play.

The only games I need is pocket empires and what a doodle, I am addicted to both

check this http://www.dvidearts.com/
and this http://www.androidiani.com/applicazioni/crusade-of-destiny-action-rpg-in-3d-per-android-10113#more-10113
and all the com2us games are so good!

the problem with gameloft games is the very bad optimization not the multitouch
PS: forgot PolarBit too =) http://www.polarbit.com/

may be it has a lot of settings but i don't have a WII to try

its been proven that nexus one has multitouch problems so it doesnt matter what games. Games that have a joystick and action button on the bottom will not work with multitouch on the nexus one. Maybe if one is on the bottom and on at the top they would work

I'm playing at Heavy Gunner 3d actually, it have both controls at bottom of the screen and they work very well togheter on froyo, probably it was a broblem on Eclair. i've never found problems on gameloft games too (excluding optimization)

Asphalt is a money racing game.

with move2SD now activated in Froyo, why aren't the big game company making more quality Android games... so far gameloft, com2us, polarbit, deckeleven have done pretty well with their games, but we need more games...

perhaps because it's been only what a week? they need time to develop games for the android.

I'd like to see an MMO on android.

[HOT] HOW TO: Play TEGRA, QUALCOMM and POWERVR based games on your android device!

6.Run ChainFire3D,select Install Plugin,install all three plugin,done.
7.When you play Tegra games Example: Ninja Fruit THD ,run ChainFire3D,select Default OpenGL settings > Use plugin>NVIDIA

9.Same way to play other snapdragon or tegra games,just select the exact plugin,if games that do not needed plugin just select NONE
Link to the devs of this : here
I just install Fruit Ninja THD and it works flawlessly..I gonna try other games and will update later..Feel free to try any of these based games on our xperia x10 and report your feedback..
Games tested so far:
1)Fruit Ninja THD - work
2)Samurai II: Vengeance -work
3)Monster Madness - Force Close (lack Ram memory issues)
4)Pinball HD - work
Say thank if I help..

Yes, no lag at all..it just like you play the games on tegra devices..I already test Fruit Ninja THD and Samurai II: Vengeance THD on X10, both working flawlessly and no lag at all.. I'm using WB's V006 roms and custom kernel K010..

---[ REMOVED ]---

Are you sure they run smooth? Even the normal Fruit Ninja lags here compared to the iPhone version...

delete this

DooMLoRD said:
thats because those files are from PRO version!!!

Currently available plugins
There are currently no plugins available from my hand, but it appears somebody has compiled and released libGLEMU_NVIDIA, libGLEMU_QUALCOMM, and libGLEMU_POWERVR plugins. You may find them if you search for them
WARNING: I did not write, compile, or release these plugins, and thus I cannot vouch for their quality, or that they don't do anything evil to your device. You should also be aware that they may not be legal to use in your area.

I don't think it it :O

This is only games from PC to phone you? Because I try to download them from my cell phone and download it gives me error
Enviado desde mi X10 TripNMiUI-IRIS usando XDA Premium App

i tried it on another website and it works fine. only riptide got some issues.

I found this several days ago.
I tried Vengeance, Fruit Ninja THD, Backbreaker THD, History Great Battles Medieval and others.
Fruit Ninja works flawlessly except for the white colour of apples.
Backbreaker works but no movement in the figure. Only environment is working well.
History Great Battles doesn't run.
Besides i tried PowerVR Sacred Odyssey and it failed to run as well (the snapdragon version doesn't work okay)
So overall, only those games run that are supported by the GPU. Not everyone. Samsung models run BackbreakerTHD too but not X10.

it lags a little on furit ninja thd. often happens when starting the game. but everything works fine.

How can this run well if not even the normal fruit ninja runs well?

Normal fruit ninja run well.get latest version...if you mean swipe gesture when you slice fruits a little lag, it is normal because our x10 are capped at 34 fps, try using custom kernel and you will suprise, the lag is still there but almost gone..I hope our devs can push our x10 to 60 fps then we can play ninja fruit like play on iphone..

the guerrilla bob regular always worked. im pretty sure the THD he put after the name stands for tegra hd or something which means that one wouldnt work. and neither would samurai. i know because i personally tried before and i know it was impossible to run samurai before this.

Games Discussion Thread

I was about to create this thread at general discussion but i guess it belongs here, we can share recommendations of games and talk about performance on our devices.
Just downloaded the new ZENONIA 4https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gamevil.zenonia4.global
Love the series and 4 is the first episode with HD graphics, which woud be awesome if it didn't ran so sluggish on x10 i'm on vmcms 2.3.4 rom, anyone on different roms had a better experience?
I'll leave a recommendation, Dungeon Raid https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fireflame.dungeonraid it's an addictive "trace puzzle" (don't know how to describe it) with a fantasy rpg theme, match three or more icons of the same type trying to draw the longest line, the mechanic is used to attack monsters or defend, collect gold, potions, very easy to get into but deep. This is an excellent time killer and a great value if you enjoy this type of games.

Need for speed shift and reckless racing work very well
Xperia x10(Feralabs Rom) After trying all roms it was my Fav.

My experience is that zenonia 4 runs sluggish on any rom that uses a modified stock kernel. I've only had smooth experience on a rom using the cm7 fxp kernel. FXP 10* or miui dark edition based off cm7 are basically the only two running it smoothly

EA NFS Hot Pursuit and EA Real Racing 2 running perfectly. The most awesome graphics to embrace a smartphone game. Ever.
Others: Modern Combat 2, Splinter Cell, WC Cricket Fever
MIUI 2.2.3 overclocked to 1152 MHZ.

I'm playing Asplhat 5 and Rainbow Six right now.
Rom : Oodie's MIUI prime x
Asphalt runs fine however Rainbow six lags a lot how do I improve it's performance? If you're gonna ask me to overclock then please tell me how do it because I don't know how to.

Does Shadowgun runs well? it seems to be the most graphically intense android game.

the best looking 3d game i've seen running on x10 was Dead Space.

Thanks for the info, it's been a long time since i've tested fxp cm7 but i may give it another try.

try thgo v14.0 it is best gaming rom

what you got at the Play Store (i'll never get used to this name) sale this week?
i've gone crazy, purchased Cut The Rope, Shadowgun, Quell Reflect, They Need to be Fed, World of Goo and Osmos HD there are more games and apps available for very cheap prices, don't know for how long.
Osmos - you are an amoeba-like blob that moves by ejecting it's mass and must consume other blobs that are smaller than you, as you eat you grow bigger and can assimilate bigger ones, unless they assimilate you first. The challenge is controlling your movement in a way that you don't waste your mass and there are a series of tasks you must complete. A creative and clever game with very nice presentation, it runs fine on x10 with occasional stutters but no bigger issues.
Cut the Rope - this one doesn't require much introduction, it was a huge smash on iOS and it's quite sucessful on android as well. several puzzles in which you must cut ropes in order to feed a small lizard with candy, cute and with great physic effects, adicting and well worth the cheap price.
They Need to be Fed - looks like feeding is a recurring theme with those indie games, this one is a simple yet cool 2D puzzle platformer, traverse a series of obstacles involving gravity and collect diamonds to feed a creature in the end, one of those masochistic games in which you die tons of times until you master the levels but it's nice and addicting if you're into meat boy or similar.
Quell reflect - a good surprise, it's a puzzle game where ou must guide a drop of water through a series of obstacles, flicking your finger starts the motion which can't be stopped, sounds tense but it's a relaxing game with a nice presentation. Oh, no feeding here.
World of Goo - a pretty popular game widely available on PC and Wii, gameplay fits very well with touch screens and performs fine on x10, you must guide a bunch of black blobs of goo through the scenery by creating structures, you touch a goo and swipe it to the position and connect them. the physics can be a bit unforgiving but the game is very well done.
Shadowgun I have not tested yet because it downloads a lot of stuff and I couldn't finish yet.

how an i install nfs shift and hot pursuit on ma xperia x10 rooted running on 2.3.3

I guess shadowgun is too much for our old X10, it only shows the opening sequence but when it starts loading the first level the phone reboots.
will keep it for when i purchase a new phone.

Runs perfectly on Cobrato MIUI. I just reboot the phone before playing - it frees up all the RAM and kills unnecessary background tasks, and RR2 is buttery smooth.

I've been using feravolt's V12 Enhanced Edition and of all the stock roms I've tryed it's the best for games performace, there's an optional boost gpu script but even without using it there's a noticeable improvement. However, playing games will eat your battery even faster than normal.
Kairosoft's new game Dungeon Village has a lite version, it's a cool and addictive sim game as usual, but it's kind of a casual ripoff of another game called Majesty (available for both PC and Android), where you manage a fantasy town that must attract adventurers to it. Majesty can get brutal in the later levels, I have no idea how Dungeon Village will evolve but it looks much more simple.
And of course, Angry Birds Space was unleashed upon us.

Android non-mainstream games ?

every site that I go to with game recommendations has the same crap all over again. it's like all the games are in this form:
level, there are 3 stars. you need to get 3-star play to pass the level with highest score.
I DO NOT want that, and everywhere I go to for games, everyone is recommending that. Piggy adventure, Shoot the apple, Annoying Birds, etc.
Android and the accompanied hardware are capable enough to run extremely extensive games, like some adventures and such, and I cant find those.
what I actually want:
A game that is long-hours playable, that has any kind of the in-game development, and that is not "in levels" type of game.
I like mystery kind of games, like Room escape games (finished all of Android REG, which are few and mostly retarded), maybe some RPG games that have a little bit more graphic than those "pokemon" type games.
some career games, maybe where you develop your car/character/vehicle but all that I played become monotonous after time.
"Defender" Game is an example of how it should be, and how they should have added stuff when you reach 300+ level. After you kill the first Dragon Lord and 2 Pig-man (at the same time) the game becomes boring.
Are there any BIG games for Android .. ? you know the feeling when you played Resident evil 1 and 2 on PSX, and you played it for hours and days, trying to figure out stuff, and it was sooo good that you wanted more and more .. ? (now that Im writing this I see that PC also lacks that kind of intellectual games and all you do is kill bunch of stuff for 6 hours of a single day and that's it)

look at these games:
Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden*, Eternal Legacy* - RPG,
Samurai II: Vengeance - action
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X*, Winds of Steel - flight simulator
FIFA 10, FIFA 12 or PES 11*, PES 12 - sport/football
or maybe GTA 3 for android.
Maybe you'll like sth of these games?
*cant find in store

I Will try them all , thanks. I dont pay for anything so it doesnt matter if it's in stores or not (Im from Serbia, and lots of software and content are unavailable even If I wanted to Pay, I only payed for Adobe Design cause I work for foreigners and cant have final products made with pirated versions )
On another topic - Does Anyone remember Desert strike and the Strike series for Genesis/MD2 ... ? It would be avesome if that kind of games were for android, A simple helicopter you could play for months, cause of various levels n stuff... ?

Good Non-Casual Games?

Anyone recommend some good games for serious gaming? I mostly play console games, but I'm wanting to take advantage of the awesome new hardware in my pocket with some good games. I don't mean things like Angry Birds and Temple Run and Fruit Ninja. Any advice?

Usually when I wanna look for good/cool new apps or games I go on the Google Play store website on my home PC and use the various search functions on the Play site and can sit there for like a hour just looking at apps and reading reviews/descriptions hahaa.

Yeah, that's what I've tried and am trying to avoid. I can only see so many clones of Fruit Ninja before I want to punch myself.

I loaded every single version lol. Its not so hard. Spoof your S4 to a different device model so that the android store thinks its such, and then it will let you install applications for those devices. Lets you also get tablet versions of apps and also those really old ones that they are aging out of the market.
