Last week the Gameloft site was running a buy one/get one free special. I purchased Asphalt for 4.99 and picked up Avatar for free.
i guess it cost more on market becasue they have to pay google a fee or something
they do the same on itunes $6.99 for new games
So are all the games under Android in Gameloft compatible with our phones? When I'm trying to buy GT Racing, and select p999, everything is grayed out and I cannot proceed with the purchase
If you put you live in india its just 2 bucks

I purchased my games directly from the Gameloft site. In the phone browser, just go to www.gameloft.com, and it should automatically detect the phone that you are using and display the games that are compatible with your phone.
The extra $$ may be associated with the fact they can't make you buy the game again if you switch phones.

crap... how did i miss that?
well it about damn time. I hate when all these companies try to make their own "App Stores".
Come on guys, just put them were we can EASILY get them. Plus at least now they are tied to your account. The bad is that it probably won't work with your next phone anyway. Gameloft games are real picky hence why I don't bother.
Thats why hopefully NVidia can gain some ground to stop all this fragmentation with games. They should make phones using the tried and true method, put whatever CPU in there and just add an NVIDIA GPU so the instructions are the same across the board.
This is why I got the G2x; to support the Android Gaming platform!
I thought this phone had tegra inside. Why can't I download any tegra games (pinball) or use the Tegra Zone?
It's a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, not the Nvidia Tegra 2
Why in the world did I think this was a Tegra? Dang. Buyer's remorse.

if the sensation was tooted, we could play some (most of ?) Tegra games on our devices, unsing Tegra fix, Chainfire 3D drivers, etc
So far, and as I had no choice, I just found a "special" version of Pinball HD for Tegra2, that is compatible with non-Tegra devices.
So yes, I installes a warez, blame me, fire me, but I didn't have choice, I would have bought this game if my Sensation had been rooted and then I could get this game legally.
Tegrazone
Hmm i can install the tegra zone... and the game "Dungeon Defenders" works good...
i dont know why the tegrazone are @ the market 4 me )
games like samurai II vengance are only locked but playable with patches from XDA (i think)
you can install Tegra Zone, sure, but it won't let you install the games.
And to apply the patch you're talking about, you need root

Tegra 2 is arguably the worst dual core chip when compared to the snapdragon and Samsung dual cores, but yes, it has the best exclusive games.
I wouldn't be upset with having a Sensation. It's far better than the Optimus 2x and Atrix. More reliable too.
My Sensation is on its way. I'm surprised to hear that the Tegra games won't work w/ non Tegra phones. I don't remember reading that when I bought them. Had most of them on my G2X, but I didn't play them all that much though. I always seem to go back to Angry Birds.
Maybe I'll just sell those Apps.
jk.
Can't wait to get my new toy!!

Good to see you made the leap ickster - I couldn't get rid of that G2x fast enough myself - after four bad ones I was OVER IT.
Hey guy...Yeah, but I'm holding onto the G2X for awhile to see how it plays out. I still hold out hope for it. I picked up (held) a Sensy at the tmobile store today, felt pretty nice.....I think I'm gonna like it! Can't wait.....already purchased the hdmi adapter and spare batteries and a charger. I'm ready to go.
i knew going in that it would not work.. luckily i have a xoom to cure that need

Please explain why ? I would like to know
yes ... why do you think that ??
There was a post somewhere on the myouch forums about a hacked version that would let you install the games... Never tried it but people said it worked. If someone finds it it would be gr8

LOL... please elaborate, tell me you've at least done a little bit of research before forming an opinion like this?
maybe the sensation will be able to use The newly announced "Playstation Suite" that allows us to play touchscreen optimized playstation roms for like $20 or game or something crazy like that I'm sure
Some games like Dungeon Defenders will work because there is actually two versions of the game. The market checks which hardware you have and downloads the right one. I ran it on my MT4G and Tegra 2 tablet and it downloaded a HQ version on my Tegra 2 Tab but SQ on anything other. I know some games are strictly for T2 and will install on other phones (side loading of course) but will not run
Has anyone noticed that there a new games popping up in the Tegra Zone that state they are built specifically for Tegra 3 devices?
Are we going to get left behind on the newest games because we have the Tegra 2?
Anyone have thoughts on this?
Considering the market for !iPad and that Tegera 3 isn't going to power that big a precentage of remaining Android devices in general, at worst get the "Normal" version instead of T3HD or w/e bull they are calling it now.

It probably says so the TF Prime can utilize it. Im guessing most games should be playable on both, but when it detects quad core, it will increase all the settings. But, im not sure. I know a few games are going to do this, I think Shadowgun.
yea seems that way. but would def be stupid for devs to not make games backward compatible for at least tegra 2 devices.
It will. Look at shadowgun and riptide gp

It would be stupid for devs not to make games backward compatible with `high definition` systems, as so many people typically seem to name their app.

games will probably be exclusive for tegra 3 for a month or so then they will release another version unless the game cannot run on slower hardware.
Games should have settings like PC games do. 1 version with graphical sliders. Why isn't this happening in all games?
There simply aren't enough Tegra 3 (or Tegra 2) devices to develop specifically for. Backwards compatibility would be wise. No game should be Tegra 3 only yet aside from a few tech demos.
Plus it would be a way to sell Tegra 3 devices too. Give me a new game with Tegra 3 support and let me enable all the goodies Tegra 3 supports and see how the game runs. This is why I used to purchase video cards all the time growing up. Run a new game at full glory because it looked pretty but ran at 19fps... whoops, gotta go get a new $500 video card to play a $49 game better.
If they separate the versions then non-Tegra users and Tegra 2 users never know what they are missing.
I also want an upgradable GPU IN MY PHONE!!!!
I agree. They should be all backward compatible. I also like the idea of being able to scale back the graphics to run on older devices and to tempt us to upgrade.
I want an upgradable gpu for my transformer! lol Don't think any of that is ever going to happen.
I saw that in the demo of Glow Ball that is in the Tegra Zone it says it was meant for Tegra 3 and only Tegra 3 processors were capable of handling the intense graphics. It even goes as far to show you want it looks like without the Tegra 3 (on non Tegra processor I believe) graphics which pretty much makes the game not worth it.
Blowfish Studios are making a Tegra 2 then Tegra 3 version of Siegecraft THD. The Tegra 3 version will be a pushed update to the previous version, so I'm told.
Somehow I remember reading somewhere that file picker = bad according to some important Android guy at Google. Which is probably while you get nothing out of their stuff but you get OI File Manager out of CyangonMod. I wouldn't be surprised if someone felt the same way about game settings, especially considering that people probably change phones about as fast as AAA+ games have short shelf lives (ala COD sh!t).
Unless you want to make several sales per device, THD and the rest is all bull.
Buying FooGame and installing it on e.g. an Optimus One should give you a modest ARMv6 friendly APK, lower end build with graphics tuned for common devices of it's era. Installing it on a TFP should give you a Tegera 3 optimised version of the APK. Got a Galaxy Nexus? Different APK than the Transformers, plus another "Generic" APK that is OK on any phone powerful enough to run it. If memory serves we either have this ability in the market or are getting it soon(tm).
That takes care of your old handset, your super tablet, and your new handset. Even better is the licensing option, uninstall from the Optimus One and install on the Galaxy Nexus or whatever you want out of the markets settings. Just like buying a new PC you can transfer the game over, but just like a console: it also would mean no matter what they play off, your less techy relatives that don't know crud about tech don't even have to figure out game settings. Ain't that awesome?
But oh wait, if we have to do that much work anyway for maximum market penetration, why not release FooGame, FooGame HD, FooGame T2HD, and FooGame T3HD? That way we have the option for charging customers by the processor type and bloat our stats to look good to share holders? --> follow the money.
If I'm wrong about the last three paragraphs someone correct me, other wise I think it's all bull. Some companies are really nice about it if you buy one version but in the end, there's no reason for it, except to try and make more $$$ if wanted.
If I'm probably right and it is mostly bull, how about hitting the thanks button to let me know I'm not an idiot?

Was wonder if most T3 games are available for the NOTE 10.1? What about Order and Choas?
I have not tried any tegra 3 games yet, probably will try some here soon, but I have done tegra 2 and they work fine using chainfire 3d. Had to get back into finally completing galaxy on fire 2. lol. Not to mention gta 3 tegra optimized and others.
They wont work unless u hack the apk or build.prop.
I hate that crap. I Tegra exclusive Bs.

Well I still have my Nexus 7 for tegra3 gaming although I do wish I cdl play them on this device also.
Ultra High graphics setting is normally only available with Tegra3 but there's a hack to enable it with root and free ES File Explorer app:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2012/07/05/...gra-3-extended-effects-on-non-tegra-3-device/
Dead Trigger runs smoother with ultra than my Tegra3 Nexus 7.
what do you have to change in the build.prop?
interesting details

Seeing as how nearly 70% of the apps aren't even working properly on a Tegra 3, I can't see much point of the Tegra 4 yet beyond simple progress.

What apps arent available on tegra 3 yet? I've found that on my Prime everything is available on it vs my tf700. Even games were quickly available on Prime ie. Dark Knight, Wild Blood. Including EA games like Need for Speed Most wanted, Mass Effect 3. So I wo I wouldnt discount Tegra 4 just yet...
I'm actually looking forward to the gpu on the tegra4. It's really the only thing their missing.

I think he wants to say that they are not optimized for tegra 3.
Also I can only see hardware bashing.
I just would like to be able to install games period to my $400 tablet!
Mainly the gameloft games, that I bought.
And tons I want to try out, just not on my tiny 4.5" screen phone.

I totally agree but the issue I think are the devs. They tend to be lazy and only want to add support certain devices. A great example would be Prime and Nexus 7 which are Tegra 3 devices and have a lot of apps and games available for it. Gameloft and EA included. Tf700 does not. But if you side load the games, a lot of them will actually work. Less with EA games though. So for most its probably just adding tf700 as compatible in the play store.
Based on that I dont think it matters too much if you have Tegra 3, 4, 5 or 6 but more device model specific whether app will be available for it or not.

Whoa looks like the GPU will be running past the retina resolution with T4.
1440p video processor?...flat screen LCD TV's have just started showing up in this resolution.
Looks like the big deal with Tegra 4 is the smaller micron die that the processor is built on.
12 nm smaller less heat less power used.
Here we go with the next best thing
