I was wondering why Gameloft has a problem with android market bc yesterday I bought a game via my Galaxy Tab and they took it out of my paypal but I never got the game and now I have sent them two emails and have to call them tomorrow and I am like 85% sure this would not have happened with the Android market.
Out of curiosity, did you read the license for the games purchased from their site? You can only re-download a game on the same phone you bought it (and same sim-phone number), and only for 3 years. Not sure if i remember well, but it might even had a limit of how many times you can download a game!
I would never ever buy anything from their site.

Legitimately is what you're after
There is an upper size limit on apps from the marketplace, currently 50MB I believe, by offering applications directly they can bypass this limit. For example, NFS:Shift is roughly 120MB and Asphalt:HD is just on 100MB. I'm pretty sure both download additional data to the SD Card as well.
Other games have a small client and just download a mass of extra data (e.g. that shadow souls or whatever that new RPG game is called that downloads ~1GB of data), so they could adopt that method, presumably they choose not to.
They also probably want a bigger cut of the profits by charging directly, they'd probably have much better exposure in the marketplace though.

Legitimately thats it....
Update with them: They sent me the games that I wanted(spider-man hd, dungeon hunter hd(buy one get one free)) and created me an account after I called them and explained my mistake so it was cool...
Until the bug in the game spider-man hd where it wont load the stage called, "Mystery Infection Strikes City" so I called them and they said to keep spider-man hd on my tablet and they should be issuing an update in a few months and they sent me a free game(hero of Sparta) for all my troubles.
About them on the market: Well that sucks bc if they were on the market they could issue updates faster; but then again since they have different versions for different devices(for some reason) it may get a bit confusing.
FYI NFS installer is around 20mb (smaller for Ashphalt5HD), the 120 MB is the total after downloading the data once in the game.
So that's not a reason for market avoidance (both NFS and Ashphalt are on the market anyway, least here in the UK and also both are available for free in samsung apps regardless).
I downloaded Spiderman of the site, and evertime i try it i get a "this is not an official copy of spiderman" error and it closes, i have tried over wifi, or 3g, and with the SIM i had at the time of purchase in the tab.
I'm not that bothered about the game though, it was one of my vouchers from the samsung pack anyway.

They are starting to add HD games to market. Modern Combat 2 and Asphalt 6 are in there. Hope for more coming.
Yea they rip you off its $2 more than on their website
Asphalt 6 is $4.99 on gameloft and $6.99 on market

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!
Hello All,
Tomorrow I will be buying an Infuse and have the full intention of running Infused 4.5 on it within an hour of getting it. I currently have an Atrix 4G and after looking at the Android Market online...I can't help but feel that my device is neutered in terms of the games available to it. Below is a short list that can NOT be accessed via the Atrix:
- ANYTHING that needs sideloading
- Order and Chaos Online
- Nova 2
- Asphalt 5 and 6
- Any Gameloft game not on the market
- Worms
- The Sims 3
- Need for Speed Shift (Even though a demo COMES WITH THE PHONE!)
Those are only to name a few. When I get my Infuse tomorrow, will I have this problem with the Infused ROM?
Also, why are the games not "compatible" with the Atrix 4G yet are for the Inspire...a phone that can't touch the Atrix with regards to specs?
Thank You
only thing I see on my branded (at&t) market is asphalt 5 hd free
nothing else you listed was on my market.
you CAN turn on sideloading on a stock infuse and install the amazon market or whatever. (didn't check on the amazon market for those games)
Pretty sure the custom roms have an unbranded market. Anyone wanna check on these games for him?
Edit: I do see The Sims 3 (at least) if I go into airplane mode and then turn on wifi while still in airplane mode (I get an unbranded market)
Gameloft
I read somwhere that Gameloft will only be releasing games for iOS.
EDIT: My bad. Looks like Gameloft is just boycotting the Android Market for whatever reason. You can go to Gameloft.com and download games.
The best option is to never by at&t branded phone. I'm just waiting for sg 3..
Or use MarketEnabler and spoof VZW or Tmo

infuse 4g "a lot a screen real estate"
I have installed the gameloft games on the sensation and the games are 1/4 screen to low any else have this issue? Touch spots are in the correct place.
me too
i downloaded nova 2 apk online and had the same issue on the cut scenes but not during gameplay. the gameplay was just laggy and the surrounding were loading correctly. only some titles r compatible with the sensation. its because of the screen resolution.
oh.. well, maybe try purchasing legitimate games from them instead of stealing. the 4 Gameloft games I purchased all work flawlessly
While I can agree with purchasing the games legit. I have to say that gameloft tends to tell me my device is unsupported in the same way that hulu + and netflix do but I should be able to run the apps just fine. So occasionally I have to pursue other means to enjoy the content until it is available to me officially. Yes I understand those apps are free but I am more making the point that support for apps and games need to be updated more regularly. I am more than willing to pay to play...

The screen is off because sensation is supported for it yet. I have 5 gameloft games all from their site and they work perfectly. There's a reason that the tailor the games to each device.

I have many cracked Gameloft games for my HD2. I've tested many of them on the Sensation and either they don't work or don't scale properly. You get what you pay for. I would have bought them for my HD2 but stupid Gameloft would never give me a way even though they ran great.
I use the Gameloft wapstore now and it will tell you the games they support for the Sensation. It's not a massive list but it will grow I'm sure. I bought four games from them so far and enjoying each one.
I have 4 games I've purchased from Gameloft's site through the phone.
all work perfect, to scale.
selection is a bit pitiful but atleast we got SOME games for our phones...
by the way, they are having a 2 for 1 sale with the games being only $3. so basically $1.50 a game.
spend the little money and save yourself the headache of non/incorrectly working pirated APKs.
same for me: warez didn't work or fit the screen properly, so I bought the games once the Sensation was supported at Gameloft wapstore, they all work very well
BTW, if some have the same problem: if I try to go to Gameloft wapstore using WIFI, I get an error message ("too many redirections to load the page").
If I go to the same page connected with 3g, it works! So I buy and dowlload the app using 3g then start wifi fir SD datas.
I have Asphalt 6, NOVA, Rainbow 6, Modern Combat 2.
Make sure they are all HD versions and are for our phone/snapdragon-adreno. They are all full screen, no issues so far.
The only game I had an issue with was Gangstar, it's in full screen but off the edge. My favorite game too..
I use cracked versions of some gameloft games, and they are all full screen. (I agree that we shouldn't use illegal copies but from my country I can't purchase anything from gameloft, also, can't access paid apps on market, so for me it is legal)
thanks
Thanks for the input.
So I just switched from a G2 to a senny, I had 4 gameloft games that I bought from the market. I transfered them but only nova works, order and chaos, modern combat, and asphault 6 all give me the not compatible message.
What do I need to do here? Anyone got a link to an hd version of these games?

If you've been bummed about having Gameloft tell you not once but TWICE that O&C was Xperia PLAY Optimized... then downloaded it only to find that it wasn't... rejoice!
I don't know when they did this because no one's said anything on the Gameloft forums (not even the mods), but while re-installing everything for my fresh new 2.3.4 flash, I re-downloaded O&C from the Gameloft WAP Store, and noticed O&C was showing up in the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher
...of course, I got so excited that I had to see if it was for real... and it is! Video incoming soon.
As a basic rundown, left touchpad controls movement, right touchpad is camera, X button is jump, []/O//\ control your primary functions, L/R toggles the page of functions, select brings up the map, start brings up a quicklist, and the d-pad controls targeting/NPC interaction.
If you bought it from the official Android Market instead of the Gameloft WAP Store, I can't guarantee yours will work right because Gameloft tends to have outdated stuff on the Market.
At any rate, we finally have the best mobile MMORPG playable without crappy virtual controls!

Are you able to see it in your download history ("My Downloads" section on the WAP shop)? If not then just contact Gameloft for the APK. Calling them is a good way to get prompt service, but if you wanna do things via e-mail, they're good about sending the most up-to-date APK for your device (given that you provide proper proof of purchase).
Ha ice cream sandwich. What do you expect from an american....
Oh wait....
I now have the update. The app just found it. By the way i have to download the sd files again.

Got the Freemuium version when they released it for a few days for free,
went to the my downloads section of GL wap store,
redownloaded
and controls are optimsed,
but to be honest, they could be better, i think i honstly prefer playing with the touch screen, but give it a few days, may warm to the controls a bit more.
Thanks for the heads up

I just bought it from the wap store,
Xperia PLAY optimization worked for me,
It feels like a beta test though, I encountered a couple of control bugs in the touchpad -sometimes if you activate the autorun- that I had to restart the game to resolve it.
Now I'm looking for the update were they will merge Android and iOS users in one servers,
I can't wait to kick my brother's iOS ass
