Games not compatible?? - Xperia Play Themes and Apps

Hey guys.
Had my PLAY about 3 weeks or so now and absolutely love it! Came from an overclocked Galaxy S on JB and prefer everything about this phone!!!
One thing that's bugging me a bit though is that some games are coming up as 'not compatible with your device' in the play store when I think they should be. Fifa 12 is the prime example of this. Everyone says its compatible, even saying it was a PLAY exclusive, and I somehow downloaded a 60min trial when I first got the phone (possibly from EA's store?) so I know it works, but I wanted to download it in the 25p sale and it wouldn't appear on the phone's Play Store and on the PC one it just said not compatible so I couldn't get it. This isnt the only game to have this come up too. And where are games like Asphalt 5, as I have seen people playing these games that are seemingly not available in the play or gameloft stores?
I noticed a couple of other people have had this issue too but I havent seen any resolve
And I apologise if this has been asked previously but before anyone says 'use the search feature' I tried that and it keeps coming up with "search is temporarily unavailable.
Thanks

Hey there and welcome to the community; I still love my Play as much as I did 6 months ago when I bought it! As far as your question goes, I don't have a concrete answer regarding the 25 sale but I can tell you how to get it. You have to go to EA's mobile store to get the compatible version but I highly doubt it will be 25 cents which certainly sucks but it couldn't hurt to try and I'd highly recommend it at full price. As far as some Gameloft games go its the same issue but I can't recall if 5 was ever optimized for the Play or not (I'm about 75% sure it is though) so give their store a try and see. It's a bit of a pain but there are maybe 1 or 2 Gameloft games that I've had to do this with and other than that only FIFA 12 so for the most part you'll never have to suffer through this bs again.

Rooted yesterday as I needed more internal space and went from less than 50mb to over 100mb. Do you need to reformat the sd to use that link2sd?
I bought asphalt 6 + 7 just before I bought the phone as they were only 69p each!

HTC Sensation Gaming capabilities

Has anyone noticed that almost no new hd games are compatible with the sensation? For example, when I go try to find the asphalt 6 apk file multiple sites say it is incompatible with the sensation. Also, how do I download.apk files in the default browser instead of html files?

Asphalt 6 and Rainbow 6 look very nice on my device. Still can't get Fruit Ninja to play correctly. I believe it's a resolution issue though

If you BUY it it will be on Gamelofts website at http://wapshop.gameloft.com
Because we all know we wouldn't ask for warez on a developers forum...right?
Modern Combat 2 looks amazing on the display btw
Buy the games that are supported for this phone and they will work fine. they have eight so far thats for the sensation , If you bought games for a different device in the past they will sent you a link to download them for your current device and if they don't have a certain game you can get something else our wait
wait so the reason therent arent that many hd games out for the sensation is because it just recently came out right? not because it is not powerful enough
I have an SGS currently but getting a Sensation in the next day or two. I have bought a ton of Gameloft games, will I be able to run these or need to contact Gameloft to get new APKs? Or do I need to pirate games that I own?

correct, because this phone is definitely powerful enough. THe phone comes with a HD game already. NOVA1. It plays great.
If you dont mind asking what version of Modern Combat 2 is for the sensation ?
thanks

i just finished calling them and they sent me all of the games i previously bought except the ones that i havent seen in their site though.
edit: the version they sent me is 1.0.1
My problem is that I wasn't sent invoices for all of the games I purchased through their website. I also have been given free games Eternal Legacy and Lets Golf 2 by them because NOVA doesn't work on the SGS Gingerbread firmware.
sorry for bumping this old thread,
GT racing is for free on the gameloft website, just click on the "samsung galaxy S2" when they ask for what kind of device you have (I got the game using a download link by SMS) the game works perfectly on my HTC sensation XE with stock rom (much better graphics then asphalt 6 in my opinion)
have fun guys!

Where did you buy it from?
I don't think its compatible with the latest 2.3.3 update.
The game was available on 2.3.3.
I flip the control pad out and when the Xperia Play menu comes up its available there for download...
Now all of a sudden I cant find the game to re-download it
I cannot find it in my Get Games app either but I actually got the app to work. Unfortunately it doesn't coincide with the rules of the forum but I'm sure you can imagine how I got it to work where the downloaded app from EA wasn't working.
Lol I think I understand

Anyone actually know why this has been removed from the market?
I actually want the legit copy
I'm not sure of the country you're from but I've never seen this game on Android market (and you can always "See" games from other countries, just can't download them), only EA Flexion store, and here in the US the Verizon Vcast App store. I believe EA has some sort of exclusive deal with them in the US. EA also has a website www.eamobile.com that you supposedly can dl games from but when I go to it on my play it doesn't recognize it as having any games available for it.

Sonic 4 Episode I R800x problem?

So with Episode 2 now officially available, I wanted to load up Episode 1, b/c there's some connectivity bonuses, and when I go to the Play store to download Ep1 to my play, it says the game isn't compatible? What?? I have an R800x. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I dont think it was ever released officially for the Play. I know, it makes no sense to release part II for the Play but not part I.
There are other ways to get it (and it does run fine), but I say support those game makers that you can.
That makes no types of sense. Wow, Sega.
I bought it and played it on my TF101 before I sold it, so I have a TB backup of the app, but whenever I try to play it on my Play, the movement physics are a bit wonky. Is this how it should be?

No, I have a copy on my Play and it runs very well. Some stages have a little bit of slow down but it gets right back up to speed most of the time.
I also bought it legitimately on the Market for my Tablet S
I bought it for my r800i from the play store

how did u do that? i tried too but i couldnt play it...
If it wasn't made immediately obvious by now, the problem here is that SEGA only allows R800i users to play Sonic 4 Ep. I, and likewise - it's just one build.prop edit away.
I've notified them on multiple occasions; SEGA's being absolutely resilient to fix this issue.

Anyway to make Asphalt 7 work offline?

I have just bought the game from the Play Store and have discovered that it does not work whilst being offline... I would like to know if there is some kind of hack that would allow me to play the game whilst I am offline? Such as zip file that I could extract to Titanium Backup and then hit Restore Data Only.
A fix to this would be great!
BTW I am not looking for warez here. Just a simple hack. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! I am sure many other people are looking for this too!
Same here. Why the hell do we need a data connection to play the frickin game ?? why do Gameloft do this ?!!

I think the Wap Shop version (enter wapshop gameloft in your phone) has no online DRM , although i cant confirm this. Its also more expensive.
You could try using lucky patcher , although im not sure if it will work.
As for what you are asking ... google is your friend , obviously no one cant post link for suchs files here.

Maybe if *******s wouldn't pirate every damn game more than it even sells we wouldn't have to deal with **** like this. Especially games that are only a buck!

no option for changing control sensitivity, I seen this missing on my friends note 10.1 as well.
it could sorely use the extra steering control..
no credit card?, you can always find a store with Play Store gift cards..
never had much lag with this game, even old version
