Has anyone else with an R800x noticed that the wapshop.gameloft.com, Gameloft's in-phone purchasing site, now detects the specific R800x and lists the device as having no games available??
I had just visited the site, and later in the day I was checking again and suddenly it now shows "Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800x"
"Sorry, there are no available games for your mobile."
If I click on the phone name I can select the Xperia Play from a list, and it gets me back to the Xperia Play store page, as would previously load, and I can even access my downloads again...
Just thought it was strange. I thought I'd give it a couple of days to see if they'd add games or fix the re-direct, but it doesn't seem to be changing at all.
Anyone else notice this? Anyone know what's going on with this? Is there some corporate behind-the-scenes Verizon Market vs. Gameloft Shop vs. Android Market exclusivity battles going on?
Not trying to be alarmist, but it's a weirdly sudden change. I'm using same browser and same bookmark I've always used.
Same happens for me. Noticed it a few days ago. I hate how the apps are in different stores. I also wish gameloft would release all their games in the android market. I bought 4 gameloft titles on my previous phone and now I'm going to have to re buy them which is stupid. I also bought a game from them like a week ago through the wap shop and never got a link to download it. I sent an email and haven't received one back. I'm getting kind of pissed at them.

thats why I download them on my computer. If you change what phone you are using and click on the my downloads button, it will give you a download link for any game you have bought on that computer but for the phone model you selected! I figured this out a while ago and havent had to rebuy a single game since. Even though I already had bought them all like 3 times at that point lol.
Yeah, I have the same problem. They're having a Club membership deal. 2 games $7/month, with two free games at the beginning. I'm going to try it out, see what happens.
maybe its a region thing?
i have 2 options here, i can go to wapshop.gameloft.com and it will show me all of the available "hd" games for the xperia play at 2.99 each, and if i go to the xperia play app and click on one of the games available for sale it will redirect me to my carrier's own gameloft shop which has them for the same price but in mexican pesos

Probably. If I'm on 3G, it takes me straight to verizon.gameloft.com or something like that and it says "no games available". If I use Wifi, I can actually see games.
I have the same problem. They advertize the Verizon app store underneath where it says they have nothing available. I'm really wondering if Verizon pays them to not allow us to buy games from them directly or some nonsense like that. I can find N.O.V.A. 2 in the Vcast app store but not in the Android Market even though the game WAS released to the market. I'm never ever going to buy from Verizon's app store... what if I change carriers?
I'm having the same issue, I was going to get NOVA2 but it's not available in the Android Market. I saw it was available on the website https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftN2HM&feature=search_result , but it's "not compatible" with my phone.
There must be some confusion about the R800x on their end.
This issue is very concerning to me as well. I have been able to get around this issue buy selecting the phone explicitly on gameloft's site but its not streight forward. I like this phone a lot but I am worried if Verizon is trying some kind of lock down. In the end it will only hurt all parties if this is the case.

Agreed. I don't care if it serves me caviar on toast. I will not use a _CARRIER_ provided App shop. Unless it allows me to go download my apps/games/etc once I'm safely with another carrier. I guess I'll just buy over my wifi and then download it similarly. (which considering the size of some of these games, isn't a bad idea). Still, to yank the ability to buy games directly from the creators at reasonable prices instead of the carrier having to get their extra pound of flesh (or pound note, or US$2-3 in this case), it just screams greed and lock-down (based upon greed and insecurity).

So I had NFS Shift on my old Motorola Droid phone, apparently now theres 2 versions on the market, one for $4.99 and one for $9.99. The $4.99 one is the one I had and said its incompatible with the Play, but the $9.99 one is. Then I went on the Market on my phone and it said it was available and let me download the $4.99 one. I figured, sweet. But it doesn't support the slide out controls, is there a difference, does the more expensive one supportive of the control pad, or is it just not available? Its a cool game, but not $10 cool if thats the case I'm not paying for it twice.

Ok I see it there, I was trying to avoid paying for the same game twice. There are no prices on that site either. I am wondering if the $9.99 version on the Android Market is the same thing or not...

The buttons work and you can see pictures of the xperia play and the x, o, square, and triangle buttons on the menu. It is definitely different. The only thing that gets me is, they didnt give an option to steer with the left/right buttons, only tilt! You use the up down left right for shifting and starting drifts, and x and o and triangel for gas brake and camera. Pretty weak. I just wanted steering controls.
worms is really good and uses the analog sticks tho.

Yeah thats what I was hoping for, steering with the gamepad, if it doesn't have that its totally useless to me. Thats the main reason I bought this phone, I enjoy having the ability to play mobile games, but I HATE playing any sort of console style game with tilt and/or touchscreen controls. I guess I'll stick to Asphalt 6, its fun, even if its not much in the way of realistic racing. (Not that SHIFT mobile is realistic but you know what I mean),
Oh well, giving up on this one.
See title. Perhaps more interestingly if you scroll down to Related apps you can click on and download Order and Chaos Online, which otherwise will not show up in the market for us.
NOVA 2 has been on my marketplace since the day I got the phone. It always showed up in the "More Games" list. I've had the phone for a few weeks.

Gameloft also has a buy one get one free offer going now. QUite annoying to have to pay 2 bucks more to get it from the markets or verizon. But I heard it won't show in the xPlay launcher if you don't buy it from there (also annoying).
I heard the reason their newer games aren't always in the market is because theres too many different versions for different phones.

From what I have heard you should be able to have several different versions within one market item, so it becomes optimized for each different phone installing it.
On other point, order and chaos does show up and even allows you to click on it, but it does not allow you to install it :S

Gameloft has released lets golf 3 on android market. So grab it while it's hot guys
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftL3HM
Freemium model incoming. You can play two holes before "losing energy" and you can guess how you get energy back.
However, the game seems better designed and has classier stuff than most of GameLift's efforts, including the terrible prequel.
Yeah total crock of **** better to pay a couple of quid for the game. plus it took about 3 attempts to download, waste of time imo

Unfortunately no matter what they do, it will be cracked unless it needs to validate a individual serial key everytime you start the game like what blizzard does. But that only stops the online play. You can still play offline without key.

Was hoping for it to be Xperia-Play optimized like 9mm was. No dice.
It is Xperia Play optimized though it doesn't mention it anywhere. It even points you to the keys you have to use in the tutorial.
Even in this strange freemium format, Let's Golf 3 is better than I expected.
Yeah. Besides I don't seem to stick to there games anyway. 3 rounds is good for me.

Hey Wonder, I wonder why you're looking for cracked.. This game is free..
Edit: I read the reviews, amazed at the data file size of this, 800+mb? FCUK.. I'll just play let's golf 2.. and now I know why this is free.. FCUK again, I still prefer their paid apps w/o any additional to purchase.
The AI of the rivals in Matchplay games is really cruddy. Seldom have I seen something as exasperating as having the rival send the ball three times to the water in the same stroke.

Can't get Let's Gold 3 HD to work on HD2
Everytime I start the game it says the game is not compatible with my device. I use HTC HD2 Leo (Android CM7 2.3 ver.). Is it because I don't have a 3D display or I can still get it work somehow ?

I played Modern Combat 3 on my Incredible S but it does not work (cannot be downloaded from Google Play) on One s.
No idea how to get it working.
But, if you had rooted your phone, and have Titanium Backup of MC3 from another device, try to restore it from TB to One s and see if it runs.
Other than this, no idea and it's a bit frustrating.
Lol, gameloft is full of crap they set it as incompatible to favour Tegra for some reason, I'm pretty sure they work if you install the apk manually

I find this lack of support from Gameloft amazing.
I recently got a HTC One S expecting to play high quality games, and having tried approx. 6 gameloft games, they all force close after 10-20 seconds of gameplay.
Having looked at the Gameloft website, they don't list the HTC One S as a possible device, only the One X. If you search for One S, they do list a couple of compatible games, such as Nova 2, but then on looking at the page for the game, the One S is not listed as an option.
How is it that only Gameloft games don't work? All other games work fine!!!
>> Does anyone know of any plans Gameloft may have to support the One S in future? Searching their forums doesn't reveal any answers.
I just moved from a Desire Bravo, where I was disappointed to find the multi-touch bug prevented me from playing FPS games. After this fiasco, I may be looking at a Samsung for my next Android device.
I guess we need a compatible build.prop.
Hoping mod comes up with it.

Very frustrating, I got my One S yesterday and it sucks that Gameloft games don't work despite it being the most powerful device I have. They work on my Kindle Fire!
Oh well, good thing I didn't pay full price, thank god for the 10c app sale a while back. I'll say this, as long as Gameloft is this stingy regarding device compatibility there's no way I'm buying any of their games for more than 10c. With most apps I can be assured that if I buy it on one device and then change devices, I can still use it.

Oh its worth it in my opinion. At one time ages ago, think a year ago, it was free for a time from the flexion store. Even if i didnt get it for free at that time I would buy it, the controls, story, graphics and smooth gameplay are one of the best games to utilize this phone. So if I were you I woul go and buy it from the flexion store. Because if theres one thing everyone with an Xperia play knows its how much touchscreen gaming sucks.
Im still using version 1.1.33 and its perfect.
For me this is the best game we're got from EA untill now.
