Sony and Google working on bringing PSP to Android

http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/11/exclusive-sony-ericsson-to-introduce-android-3-0-gaming-platfor/
There have been rumors for years. I always thought it would happen due to google's new found relationship with sony.
OMG so excited

All I can say is Finally, psp phone running android.. cant wait!

I have to be honest, I seriously have considered switching to WP7 when it comes out, purely for the xbox live gaming.
But this looks like it will bring a similar experience to Android
2 things have happened here imo:
- Sony have realised Xbox gaming on WP7 is a good idea
- Google want 3.0 to compete gaming wise with the iPhone.
I wonder if they will integrate this into their new "Google Me" Service.

My thoughts exactly Cypher84... FINALLY! After seeing concept photos of what the PSP phone would look like I can finally see it become a reality Needless to say I'm excited and will be following that article.

Yeah but they will most likely lock it down and try to make their version of android proprietary...

"That content will be initially accessible only by the halo device, but from the sounds of things, these titles might be made available to other Android phones if their specs and button layouts meet requirements"
Also I'm sure the guys at XDA could hack devices to allow running the games.

Are there any good 4X space games for Android?

I wonder if anyone has found any good 4X space games for Android? It seems to me that such a type of games would be very suited for a touch screen device.
Just picked up Master of Orion 1 and 2 and Good Old Games earlier and they are so much fun. If anyone ever ported Master of Orion 1 to Android I would celebrate for days heh.

I too would love to find something along the lines of MOO or something similar for android, I have played those sort of games to death on my pc and really miss them since nothing like them, half decent, has been released for ages. Does anyone know of any developments like this for good 'ol droid?

OMG i'd love MOO too! That game was epic.
Perhaps in some sort of DOSBOX emulator for android?

Android and WP7

These days this two devices have the same ram, same processor speeds and in general similar specs.
Now WP7 has such a smoother feel than androids almost in every way. So that makes me think is OS wise and not hardware.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think Google will ever try to optimize their OS?

I would think as we hit 2.4, Android will be at it's best, if not, then 2.5?

The Android UI is not that optimized, i really hope they give the user experience some more love in 2.4...

Android has become the big cheese in operating systems, it will be harder for any other to compete in the same arena. What Apple and Windows will do is create their niche' market and bleed it for all they can get.

I'll say.
To OP: What do you want out of your phone? Do you want to keep it safe or are you feeling adventures? Smooth animations vs customization?

I want both lol.

Maybe wait for HTC Sensation? It looks like a very nice phone with a updated version of Sense interface which is good and I'm sure it will be pretty.

good..................

Well, if anyone can compete with android I'd say its MS. Windows is still a pretty solid platform and they seem to realize that UI optimization sells phones. We'll see how it develops, I have nothing against WP7 as long as it evolves as an open platform for third party developers the way windows is.

Agreed, I really feel like WP7 is underrated, by the looks of it, it could easily be that solid 3rd behind iOS and Android.

Whats their API situation anyway? Is it managed code for everyone like android and java or do they let you go lower level for the win?

Next generation of windows phone looking nice.

Although I have kind of distanced myself from Windows, phone and pc, the next iteration looks very promising. This of will increase competition which is always a good thing. Now if I could only pull myself from androids amazing ability of complete customization I'd actually consider a WP.
Of course this depends on if I like Windows 8 pc.

Its would be really hard to compete with the android platform. There's alot of distrust with windows. But they are nice.

Cool, will consider getting a wp device.
$1 gets you a reply

I know someone with a windows phone, they are pretty nice and run very smooth... I would get one BUT I love Android more
It will be interesting to see what the next gen looks like though, I will prob play with one in a store somewhere and Windows 8 looks pretty good and I liked it when I used the Developer Preview but that would just be for my pc..

The next version which could still be near a year out will get what Android has now.

The reason they run so smooth is because there's nothing on it.. give it 100mb of ram and it'd run as if we had 2gb of ram on our phone xD Haha but the phones are there I just don't feel like the idea is complete with wp7/8

I was interested in a windows phone too, but the lack of apps it has at the moment drew me away. I'm all for being different and what not, but not if it's going to cost me!

WinPhone's UI is the fuggliest thing I've ever seen. Looks like a Playskool or Sesame Street phone UI.
Sent from HTC G2

Really just not a fan of the LOOK of the OS itself, i'm sure it's lovely to use and the hardware will be just as good as any other, but still can't bring myself to use one

sure as hell looks a lot better than any of the crap skins these android handset makers come up with

Its kind of like sailing , a huge cruise liner takes miles to turn around where a little ski do can do it instantly. Microsoft is going to take a long time to turn its huge cooperation around towards the right direction in this new market. Where as Android like the ski doo is just living it up.

Will be interesting to see where/if it progresses. Too boring for me right now lol.

Why Why Why? Nobody download our game ... ...

Why Why Why? Nobody download our game ... ...
The game is Color Lines (4 in 1)
We spent almost two months to build it last year, and we combined four attractive games together , but till now only a few downloads per day, why?:crying::crying:
Can some body tell me why?
You can check the game here --

Add features that would attract people on the Google Play store..

Get rid of the poorly autotranslated program descriptions. They sound ridiculous, at least in German. Use English text instead or look for good translators.
Try to include important keywords into your app desription, like the title of the original games - but in a "natural" manner.
The visual style of your game is not appealing. Use a better font, do not use "dirty grey* backgrounds. Use flat graphics. Try to get inspiration by games like Dots and Threes.
It looks like your game is quite hard to play on a 4" device. Try to make your assets bigger.

You've given us no reason to play your game.... What's your pitch? Convince me, make me NEED to download it right away.

Note: HD/FHD support only. For example - Galaxy Nexus 4/5/7, Galaxy S3/4, Note 2/3, Xperia Z, Moto X, G2 and HTC One etc.
Your target devices have amazing hardware inside. your game should be able to tap into that powerful hardware resource available.
Otherwise target the low end android devices to improve the game popularity nad bugs and then work your way upto the flagships !!

You should also do more to promote your game. Go on Google+, start a blog, etc. You can't just depend on word of mouth, you have to self promote.

I generally love when people try pushing their apps into the store,but this game does not look attentive at all.Just because you worked on an app for a long time doesn't mean it will be a hit.
People like hd, possibly 3d apps that aren't too complicated.
Average people want a simple game to kill time,which is attractive. I don't know how to describe, but you must have talent for it xD

But vast majority of user have budget devices when newly launched. These devices were launched as flagships ( flagships are not brought by majority of people ).
Try improving the basic graphics of game so that, it does not give an impression of a cheap or free game even if small in size.
Release the app on iOS and Windows store . Since iOS popular games are more blindly followed into the Play Store popularity ratings by blogs.
This will give enough popularity fir your game.
See the problem is you are good in designing and all , but you need to learn to market your skills to people also. you need to highlight your plus points more visibly in the already crowded world of apps & games.
make people notice the difference.

Atleast make the GAME ICON in play store ATTRACTIVE or of HD quality.
Honestly , with the current icon, even when i am searching for a game and title meets the requirement, i would likely skip it for some spam and all.

Cause it looks like many other games out there already popular, just in different background. There are still a lot of games that can be played on budget hardware, I still use my evo 4g on cm11 and run a lot of the games I like that came out this year.
And now to me you've made it to where people will point and laugh and say that's the dev crying nobody's downloading they're app...actually, that is good marketing lol

Well as stated only having such a poor quality game that's HD only! These are simple games but to be honest having a HTC One S and that's apparently not good enough for your game kinda makes me think screw it, there are plenty of better looking similar apps that do work.

for starters, change that icon, it's terrible, less cold colors and more white would be great

Improve the ui, it's horrible

Need to improve your UI, also try to come up with something new...

Need to improve the title of the thread (immature, for god sake) or is tactic to attract more viewers!? Then I try your app, give 5 stars & my thanks too.
