Why not? Just because it's an episodic game? Thats nothing new, infact xbox live has quite a few episodic games, including some big ones like fable 2.

I don't see how XBL would be related to a game getting Xperia Play controls.
Sounds like they already laid out the plan for this game and are done with it, much like that Captain America game I would not expect it to be XP optimized anytime soon.

I wouldn't except it either, they only have 2 games on the market. Unless enough people gave it a 1 star rating and complained enough about it.

Why has an xbox game, got anything to do with this half assed port, and their money making scheme..in app billing, for that..it should have been the full game, for a couple of quid, from the off.
in app billing + dodgy controls + ads in paid game + episodic = failure, In my book.

Buy the game, buy the episodes, click on the ads, support the developer.
Android game development is still kind of fragile at this point. Great games rarely get over 10k downloads, Amazing games rarely get over 100k downloads.
Just spend the dollar and consider it a donation to the developer to continue working on the game.

I'm all for supporting them, BUT there is NO controller support. I can deal with the ads but the NO controller support is a HUGE deal breaker. If they do update the app with support I well TOTALLY buy it again. I actually have emailed them about the issue.

With the way this game is looking I doubt they'll add support (hope I'm wrong). With ads in the paid app and a crappy port I'm betting they're just making as much money as they can till people figure out it's a waste of money.

Your comment was "they wont add xperia play controls because the game is episodic" like thats a bad thing or what **** devs do, my point was episodic games are everywhere even in main stream gamimg. I wouldnt know if the game has ads because like anyone else with a brain cell i'm using ad free to hide them. But FYI even some of the top paid apps on the market like 360 live pro have ads too. Does that make there dev dodgy too???
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
I wouldn't use 360 live pro, not after paying, and having ad filled stuff in my face..
I just don't agree with that.
Free users, yeah, slap an ad or two, but not for paid for software.
I tried this game it dont use the play buttons so unistalled it.

That's not how it works. This is not published as an alpha program which will be updated in the future and for which donations would be welcome. This is a full fledged program which is being sold with certain commercial practises. Sticking ads in a paid product, not adding Xperia Play controller support and in app Billing in such a short game are not good practises, and buying the game implies supporting them.
Voting with our wallet means not paying for crud. If we buy it, more crud will come because companies will understand that that's what we want. Consumer feedback is all good and nice, but the bottom line is what companies and developers are ultimately attentive to.
This is important because if that function, called price mechanism, doesn't coordinate companies and consumers properly, problems are bound to appear... As they actually are doing, and I don't mean the video game industry alone.
****ty controls, uninstalled.
The game doesn't even appear on my xperia play market, but it appears on the market on my g2 phone. also, is there an official version of duke nukem 3d coming out? cause this isn't made by the actual company.
Well in an update Xperia Play controls will come !

Your so naive, do you not think this happens in main stream gaming? When you play burnout and see lynx adverts on the roadside, do you not think lynx are paying to advertise there? Or when you play PES/Fifa and see adverts all around the pitch? Tiger woods 10 even had pop up ads

There is a bit of a difference to "Billboard" advertising in games that adds "Authenticity" to the surroundings i.e. Fifa and the sideline banners and the "distracting-take-up-10%-of-your-screen-real-estate-mobile-ads”.
The first example I except, the second only if I haven’t paid for the app.
On another note, I always preferred Quake to Duke Nukem, so my recent purchase of Zeus Arena will keep me content FPS wise until Modern Combat 3 comes to android.

Hey guys! Just want to say that Dungeon Defenders is now free on the market! No idea if this is permanent or just today, so grap your copy now!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.trendy.ddapp&feature=search_result
I believe it is free now because Google launched their in-app payment model, and they developer will be charging real world cash to acquire in-game items.

Oh i see! LIKE!
What does this mean for the persons that paid for this app? Are we subject to having to pay for everything now to?
The only difference is that you paid for it and we don't. Everyone can use the in-app purchase.
They made it free so that more people will play it. It's a strategy for the console/pc version which is soon to be released.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Damn I paid for it. Hopefully we get more players now.
Any dates for console version?
"Dungeon Defenders” has never had an official release date for its PC, XBLA and PSN versions, though a Q1 release was Trendy’s initial goal. The game is now looking at a March or April release date for the XBLA and PSN versions, with the PC version releasing sometime later."
Hopefully the people that paided for it get something nice in-game
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
i bought this and now its all free.
and the people who paid for it get nothing.
BULL****.
I hope their PC/Console games fail.
I bought it but hardly played it, it's just too damn complex for a portable game.
I'm not real impressed about being nickle & dimed for it after buying it at full price, I won't be purchasing anything further from this developer that's for sure. If they'd given paying users SOME sort of acknowledgement then it'd be different, but that's just insulting the people that've supported them.
I guess they figure the microtransaction model works for Zynga, so why not them as well.
Didn't you people get tons of free items every-so-often already, delivered to you?
Geez, it's not like the developer is asking you to pay a monthly fee; they only made the apk free of charge. The new players who now download the free apk will never be able to get the free items you all got. And if you don't feel like spending any more cash on the game, then don't buy anything using the in-app purchasing mechanism.
Sheesh...
maybe you guys don't know how to play the game so you all are complaining that it should have been free. it's pretty cheap for a game like this!

how is a hybrid of building towers and blasting enemies complex ? it even has auto aim.
Do you guys think we will get '9mm' optimized for our Plays?
The game is available for iPhone, iPod and iPad today, and and gameloft says that the game will come to Android soon. What do you think?

I would love to play this on my Play with real controls :d
i hope we do. i got it on my iphone 4 and love it. it woukd be great to try with the controller
Haha just the other day I was looking for this game for Android and came to the same conclusion as you.
I'm pretty sure they'll optimize it, since they already have a lot of games with working stuff, except the sliding aiming pad which sucks hard IMO.
Let's hope they don't take too long to release it.

I think it works pretty good with the right settings and some training
Maybe I'm not used to it yet, right now I play NOVA2 from time to time and even if I try to move just a little bit and barely move my thumb I never get precise aiming - far objectives where they aren't auto-aimed.
Who really cares about gameloft games 3/4 of them suck the controls are just terrible I hope that some other game developer jumps on this phone and starts making games cause I refuse to pay for a game that doesn't even control properly. DARK in my opinion is the best shooter this phone has

I really hope they do, but with the time taken to port order and chaos (1 month so far and still not officially available) I think we will be left behind or wont get it at all, lets hope they start taking it seriously. Why not just allow us to set our own controls, open it up and let me set hardware buttons to anything I want

I love most gameloft games - they have their faliures, but they create decent games across multiple platforms and multiple devices at a very reasonable price point. Plus if you have any problems they are very helpful and will give out free games as compensation.

There you go again. Stop with the personal attacks. People are entitled to their opinions and not everything is Daises and Roses. If you can take the bad with the good then maybe you should be the one to go away.
We are all adults and come here to discuss gaming and the Play. If enough people complain and someone from Gameloft reads it then maybe they will do something about it. You are not the Forum police so please stop the personal attacks.
Or are you a Dev from Gameloft and can’t take the feedback?

If people dont like gameloft games, don't buy them, the only way gameloft will get the message is when they get there bank statement XDA is about sharing ideas and experiences, not moaning about the same thing every day on every single thread, this thread is about the possibility of 9mm for the play, no1 cares what thatsupnow thinks of gameloft, it's not even relevent to the thread, and to be honest we have all heard what he has to say, again and again and again .......
"If people dont like gameloft games, don't buy them, the only way gameloft will get the message is when they get there bank statement "
Not really. Just like Call of Duty BO people buy it anyway. BO was the only game I have ever sold. I keep my games no matter what. People don't know the controls suck if they are not told. And after you buy the games it's too late.

What's the thread title? It's certainly not "What's your opinion on Gameloft games controls". I agree with the other guys. I own like 5 gameloft games, I know damn well that some of them suck balls for controls, I don't need to see it everywhere on these forums, only in appropriate places. This thread is about a single game, 9mm, which isn't even out for Android yet so you have no idea how it controls on the Play.

I run it on Linux normally (On teh Toshiba laptop) and Windows from USBstick normally (With "PocketLauncher" etc)
Im guessing they will charge you to buy the app unlike the PC business model where you just buy a premium account.
I wouldnt be too happy about paying for the game again. If its just classic mode without multiplayer then I will give it a pass. if it does have multiplayer then I may change my mind
Guys, if you want more good games on the Play, pirating the biggest game to come to it isn't going to help. Just means we'll get less games that will support it. Just put down a few bucks and show your support.
As far as I know, the game will evolve just like the PC version had over the years.

Valve has just released their official steam app yesterday for Android & iOS. Login to be added to the list of "possible beta testers". I just got accepted.
https://market.android.com/details?...NvZnR3YXJlLmFuZHJvaWQuc3RlYW0uY29tbXVuaXR5Il0.
It works great on my Transformer but it's not really optimized for tablets yet, we can only hope. What I'm hoping though, is integration with mobile apps! That would be awesome! Just imagine buying Dungeon Defenders on Steam and being able to play it on your tablet for free (or GTA III, Plants vs Zombies etc).
Anyone got an invite?
Gave away mine to a friend, should've just let him wait on his. People were trading it on the forums and I could've gotten something nice XD
Gave mine to a friend, too. Seems he could care less. App seems kinda slow, but to not miss a super sale because I'm away for a day is AWESOME!!
App is now available for all steam users. It has officially left closed beta.

That would be amazing. Not sure if developers would like the idea. On the other hand, Steam already integrates the PC/Mac versions of many games, so there is precedent.

I believe there is no thread about this game.
I saw this game on the google play for the first time for a long time. I didn't buy it because the description doesn't say that the game is xperia play optimized.
But... I wanted a new game... And I like this kind of game.. So, i decided to give it a try...
My surprise is that the game is xperia optimized. The menus aren't, but in play the game is... And i think that is where it should be.
Enjoy.

Maybe I'm getting blind, but the only ads that I see in the game are in the startup menu and it's just for other games made by the same company....
For me, this kind of ads can be seen as information.. It's the company saying "Hi, i have made this games also... Just take a look"
I don't see any pop ups in game... or in any other menu...
To make it clear here goes a shot of the only ads that appear.

Yes but with no option to say "I've saw it now, so let me play the game without seeing this crap everytime I start it up".
If it was a free game, it'd be fine, but seeing as you pay for this, it should at the very least have the option to "not show again".
