Hi all, just signed up here, have been browsing around for a while.
I was thinking that LocoRoco or a LocoRoco like game would be ideal for any phone with a Gyroscope or Accelerometer; of which there are many.
I thought that LocoRoco would be ideal as it would not require any hardkey mapping, as the game, which is originally a PSP title, only uses the L and R keys to tilt the screen left and right. (Which could possibly be duplicated by tilting the phone left and right)
Unfortunately I have no developing skills so I would be useless if it came to helping with the development of it.
I searched to see if there had been any other interest in LocoRoco coming to Android or Windows Mobile, and fair to say there were 1or2 threads dating back to 2008-2009, but neither of which attracted a lot of attention.
Sorry I couldn't add a link to the game, new user restrictions
thanks, andy.
There's a very good chance we'll see PSP games in the Android Market sometime soon
Oh, that's good to hear
thanks

It's just speculation at the moment but rumour is the PSP2 will be a Phone, an Android phone at that, so they can compete better with the DS. It's a solid rumor, gone back ages and the Android link comes from Sony's new relationship with google and... let's face it, It's gonna be a smart phone if it does happen and they're not going to pick Symbian over Android especially after the success of the X10.
I don't think they'd scap their digital distribution they got started with the PSP Go, especially because each "PSP Phone" would have 3G. So it would either be a dedicated market just for PSP games or they would distribute them throughout the Android Market.
Who knows, perhaps the "PSP Phone" isn't a specific handset but them distributing via several on the android market (assumption would be they're locked only to SE phones but I'm sure this could be overcome).
Hate to say I told you so

i have locoroco running on my hero! well, its not exactly a native game. i had this java locoroco game for my previous SE phone and I used it with Jave ME on my hero and it works. perfectly.
Edit: nevermind. Posted a game name but ended up not being the same type of game

So who's going to I/O this year? Where are you coming from? What sessions are you most interested in? How are you involved with Android or other Google services?
I'm a software engineering student at the University of Victoria but I'm currently working on the Android development team at Broadcom Canada. I'm probably most excited for the keynotes but the sessions that look really cool are [email protected], Designing and Implementing Android UIs for Phones and Tablets, Accelerated Android Rendering, Honeycomb Highlights and Fireside Chat with the Android Team. I'll be flying out of Vancouver YVR in just a couple hours and I can't wait!
I came across a game today that was an old favorite of mine. Called Death Rally, do some of you remember this game? Its playable on windows, and I think theres a port of it or a similar game for wm. Does anybody know of a game that similar for Android, Or even a remote possibility of someone porting a game like that for the android platform... probably a lot to ask I know!! Its just this game was epic back in its day and I would love to see this type of game on android, make for one really cool game. Maybe there's somebody here that can help me out?
They released Death Rally on market for free!
Though it's only available in Canada atm(LOL!?!?!)... The rest of the world get it in March....
As the title says, Phantasy Star Online 2 is coming to Android & ios as a freemium game: Joystiq.com
Phantasy Star Online 2 isn't exactly the Dreamcast-era throwback we expected. Sega is embracing the future for its pricing model -- the infinitely expensive, vaguely annoying future. Sega announced a free-to-download, free-to-play model for the PC/Vita online action RPG during a streaming media event this morning. Revenue will come from item transactions.
Sega also announced a version of the game for iOS and Android. This won't exactly be the full game; according to Andriasang, Sega promised "social game elements," and simpler controls and character creation. Data will be shared between the phone and PC/Vita versions, but crossplay will not be possible. This version is due winter 2012, between the summer PC release and the 2013 Vita release.

It's a shame that we won't get the full version or cross play with PC/Vita versions as I remember many sleepless nights spent playing Phantasy Star Online with my college friends a long time ago as a Newman Hunter.
Oh man!
I played it a few times on my friend's DC and had SO much fun! I never owned the game or a Dreamcast at the time, and I for some reason decided to buy a copy a year after I got my first Dreamcast... 2 years ago... Offline mode is okay but not as fun as going online! I just can't believe that I expected to play Online when I bought it! xD
Ok crazy taxi by sega was just announced for ios but there was no word of android ,this will really piss me off if sega really leaves android out of this great dreamcast port ,& I would not be surprised because we still dont have soul calibur & its been on ios for over 8months already ,but this will be sad & disrespectful to android users if were left out in the cold
I think we will be left out. There are quite a few quality games that android doesn't get and it's a shame

Let's hope. Don't forget Sega has been good to us android users of late. Every title (approx) this year has come out on both platforms. We also got football manager before IOS as well (makes a change) if jet set radio is coming to android there is a good chance this will too. Fingers crossed people. :fingers-crossed:

A few lol examples- soul calibur, rage, infinty blade, marvel vs capcom2, fight night champions, streetfighter x tekken, & theres a few more & gameloft games take forever to come ,but if they say jet set was coming to ios & android why wouldnt they do the same for crazy taxi why just have that for ios only ,also speaking of jet set where the hell is it if crazy taxi is coming in October

Lol that trailer just looks so rushed almost fake even but what weird is it specifically says ipod,iphone,&ipad like android is definetly left out ,i remember the soul calibur trailer being just like that not having android being mentioned at all , & they made sure they mentioned ios & android for jet set ,so either there very lazy or it really isnt coming to android ,but I hope it does come to android cause crazy taxi is my second favorite dreamcast game

LOL was thinking that when i watched all 11 seconds of that video. Maybe its not but lets hope a better version of this comes out first.
Then we can play what we want
Well, instead of wondering if they will bring it; how about we ask them to do it on their official blog?
I already did my part. I want this on my XPlay!
Wouldn't surprise me. iOS has a much lower piracy rate. So blame the people who pirate every app and game they come across for Android.
I am even more sad now that I hear that this is going to release tomorrow ios only
Good news is that there will be an android version releasing soon just no word when

Source?
Well the source for this I got from Google itself many many websites state that an android version is also coming soon ,just Google (crazy taxi on android) just make sure your search tool is on past 24hrs and you will see lots of websites saying sega confirms an android version ,im not surprised android does take way longer to optimize games for since theres so many different android devices,but I really hope xperia play is not left out since buttons would be great for this game ,i hope they dont pull a nba 2k13 & have it for 4.0 & up only
Found it written on the official Sega blog so its 100% Yay
Awesome!
Includes the original soundtrack! :victory:
Guys, it's not coming to Android.
No source on this, just pure common sense. It's now May - nearly June - that's nearly 8 months.
It's obvious why...
Fragmentation. It's really hard to build a game that works on a myriad of resolutions, iOS only has 5 resolutions, and two of those are @2x, making it easy to optimse for them.
Piracy. It's so so so so SO much harder to pirate apps on iOS than on Android. Some devs literally 'give up' on Android, and it's a shame that there are so many inconsiderate people who ruin it for the rest of the crowd.
It's harder. Apple has made sure to create really good tools for it's developers. Google's tools are intuitive, but nowhere near as intuitive as Apple's.
Overall, it's a shame. I really looked forward to having Crazy Taxi on the Nexus 7, but I guess that;s not happening.
making an ios app is much harder than making an android app
dont speak like that
android is best operating system for mobile phones and tablets
ios is just a tiny closed source os thati cant even get it on my hand for 5 mins
