Hey, guys. I don't know what to do with this doubt, but I'll place it here for now
There are very few same-room multiplayer games in android. That I know of, Bomberman multiplayer and Drippit. That makes.... 2 games if my math is correct:silly: I definitely don't know what is going on here. Androids are ubiquitous, software price is cheaper than a decade ago, bluetooth comms are a lot more stable, and people do like multiplayer.... or not?
I was thinking of making a good same-room-different-device game... But I stutter at the current market: 2 games which fit that cathegory Bomberman is supposedly not even stable in multiplayer...
Any thoughts about this? Thanks! And happy holidays!
:highfive:
In doubt too!

I share your doubt (although I did build Drippitt!)
I do have thoughts about this, lots of them, so let's share the one's I think (at this moment) are the most important.
First of all: You do need 2 people with the same app in the same room at the same time with the same interest.....
(Mostly if this is so: The interest will be something else then to communicate through layers of "high tech data", they will be in the mood to remove layers...)
Oopz. That was very compact && the essence. Lets stick with that.
(Probably only geeks and nerds like us are ecstatic with the idea to do complex communication with someone you also just can touch...)

I haven't really posted here before (just rather used xda for learning/issues mostly) so im sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum for requesting apps. I've done some reading and it seems a dreamcast emulator is still a ways off, but I'm not really worried about dreamcast as much as I am the game ikaruga. I only played this game a few times at a friends house but I fell in love with it. I think this game could run well on newer phones with good processors. I have a droid x and would be forever grateful to whoever could bring this game to the droid and I would totally pay for this if it were released. Just a suggestion..
I would pay for this as well! Definitely the best vertical shooter in my mind.

I agree. Not only was this game beautifully laid out and full of action, it was also a puzzle at the same time. You had to shoot the hell outta things as well as change the light/dark modes to avoid masses of bullets/missles/debri/etc...It was very hard yet challenging and you had to pretty much remember the patterns of each level in order to get further. Like you said, the best vertical shooter i've ever played in my opinion and I only played it a few times.
Ikaruga was fun. Although it wouldn't exactly be possible to do a direct port.. Especially as it's a commercial game where we don't have access to the source and DC emulation isnt great on computers. rRootage (concept based on Ikaruga, nowhere near as good) is open source I believe and was ported to the PSP a while back. Kenta Cho's games are awesome

Ya, I've read nothing but troubles with dreamcast emulation. Even though new phones could handle it, I know that the process is very difficult (even though I know very little about programming/development). Even a game like you mentioned thats based off Ikaruga would suffice. I want a vertical shooter thats not just shootem up but actually has a puzzle-like atmosphere where you have to you use your problem-solving skills as well as be very quick and strategic with your enemies. I was just enchanted by a game that was so difficult when you first started but got easier as you remembered where to switch light/dark as well as handle an onslaught of enemies (who were also more weak/resistant to each of the modes which added for even more strategy.). Almost impossible at first, but with promise to move further if you had good skills; unlike some games that are basically impossible to beat without cheats. You'd think I played this game a lot seeing how much I'm talking about it but I only was able to make it through the first 2 levels or so b/c it was so difficult and I only got to play it a few times at a friends.
Back to the subject though, someone pretty pleeease develop a game similar to this.
Do you guys experience major bugs with BackStab?
I got it as a free title but I don't even think people should be buying this piece of *%$&%
I constantly will find bugs in the game like falling down into walls/stands/houses and being unable to escape which means a restart of the level/check point.
Also often times when you are swimming it won realize you have left water > land so you are pretty much stuck in swimming mode, swimming around the land and once again having to restart the level.
These bugs have made it unplayable for me because I get frustrated every time I have to restart a level and for the same thing to happen over and over again.
Let Gameloft know about the bugs so they can actually fix them?
You poor sheltered child...

They know about the bugs and haven't fixed them.
This was more a post wondering if other people are experiencing the same problems.
Yeah, I only paid £1 for it but it is pretty awful with bugs, glitches and quirks.
The swimming one is bad, don't know how many times I've literally swam around town.
I've played the game from start to finish, and there are plenty of really obvious bugs that I doubt will ever be fixed.
The game isn't even that good anyway.
It's no wonder that Sony walked away from Gameloft and chose a somewhat more prestigious brand like EA for the next exclusive games...

Um... they didn't walk away from anything with anyone.
Well, Backstab was an XPlay exclusive when it was released... now they're not picking any more Gamelift's games for that, are they?
The game is pretty buggy and laggy, but it's a great attempt from Gameloft. There's not a lot of elaborate games like this for Android on our phone yet and they did a pretty decent job, much better voice acting and gameplay than say Assassins Creed: Altair's Chronicles.
I highly doubt Joe Sony walked up to John Gameloft and said, "HEY, YOUR GAMES SUCK! I'm gonna go hang out with Hank E.A. now!" Also, remember this is SonyEricssons platform, not Sony (SCE).
It is a shame because it seems to be the only original game they came up with.
There was so much hype about this game in my country and they really dropped the ball on this one.

Lol, I don't mean that they said that. However, Gamelift's share of attention to the Xperia Play has diminished greatly, and it seems that EA has been appointed as a privileged gaming partner. Besides, Sony's (the alma mater's) involvement with the Xperia devices is greater now, for example the Qriocity store is now preloaded on the new firmware.
That's not at all how this whole thing works and Gameloft's "share of attention" hasn't diminished at all, not sure where you get that from.
Well, in the Gamescom, only Let's Golf 3 was announced as being ported to the Xperia Play, if memory serves me. Meanwhile, EA announced three titles, two of them Xperia Play exclusives, and other developers announced two or three per developer. Here's a list sorted by developers: http://www.xperia.es/juegos/nuevos-juegos-para-xperia-play-anunciados-en-la-gamescom/
I think Gameloft has done pretty well converting their games to be "Xperia Play optimized", they already did it with most of their library - that makes sense - and now probably have to come up with (see: rip off, lol) new games.
It's nice to see more developers jumping on.

LOL, nothing to do with them "not liking" gameloft, its just the way set exclusives work (same as consoles), in this case gameloft was first, then Polorbit, now EA, it will go back to Gameloft soon.
I much prefer Gameloft Games over the crap EA Mobile bring out, EA games (that aren't even very good) that have been out for absolutely ages on iphone just ported over badly to android, wow! the excitement! we get the year old need for speed: hot pursuit while idevices get the latest need for speed: shift 2 lol. and we already know how the new fifa i going to turn out......
Gameloft are bringing out many more games on the Play in the coming months
Gameloft ---> EA Mobile

I am afraid to go into the water now

If you haven't seen it yet, Further Beyond Fighting is now officially Xperia PLAY Optimized.
I remember playing this on iOS... and it was kind of a wreck... kinda >_>.
Looking at the reviews on both the iOS and Android versions, it's clear that "touch-screen" and "fighting game" just don't belong in the same sentence... this game got rated a lot lower than it deserves just from that.
Swapping between touch and physical controls, it's a MASSIVE difference.
Now it's all smooth-as-butter performance, WITH controls that respond

I had Street Fighter IV Volt on my 4th Gen iPod Touch... Capcom did alright with the limitations they had to work with, but compared to buttons it still sucked ass.
I'm hoping Capcom will release SFIV Volt on Xperia PLAY too so I can play it for real.
has very bad reviews.. bruce lee is even better despite its insane difficulty.. (just the memorize-all-combos part though)

Of course it does... people been playing it with horrible touch-controls.
Lol if I had to play a fighter with touch-controls, I'd give it a very bad rating too. It's not perfect, of course, but after playing with touch controls then getting a substantially more responsive experience on Xperia PLAY, this feels like a brand new game. This is why Xperia PLAY kicks every other smartphone's ass at gaming.
Bad reviews because of it being poorly polished, that is. Judging from the game's screenies and video, it looks mediocre. Half-cooked. That's why.
I'm kinda addicted now.. I just love fighting games.. Eventhough I can't jump, no touch pad support, no good combo, only few characters.. but i'm sure this will not take that long because of those issues..

I doubt anything will beat Tekken 3 to be honest.
This doesn't look good at all.
No, this game looks terrible. I mean if this game had better gameplay and graphics then it would be worth it. It seems like a bad game from a fly by night vaporware dev. No offense to anyone who enjoys this game.
Exactly. Nailed it.

I think its great that you are listening and participating through the Xda community. I wonder is or was there ever a demo release of the title? It seems that a round or two of the game would open the flood gates for areas of oppurtunites.

Currently, we have no demo release. But we had some discussions going around regarding a free-to-play version. We will keep you updated when there will be a release.

IMO a demo would be a better idea than a "free to play" version, I tend to stay away from free to play games or free games with in app purchases. As these tend to alway run in the background, and flood your notification bar with "special offers" Gun bros by glu is a prime example of this
I really loved playing Gun Bros but uninstalled for that very reason.
Hey fellers i thought id ask for recommendations regarding any android games similar to galcon. Galcon has been one of my personal favourites since ive been playing android games. Thanks for your recommendations:good:

This is one of the best games on mobile in my opinion. I have a couple of phones that meet the installation requirements, but I really want to play it on my tablet(can't). It should be released to all devices in Sept. or Oct

Hey guys!
I love playing games (on my PC, Xbox or Smartphone)!
I really hate how much "casual" game junk is in the playstore and I can't seem to find some good "story-driven" games...
Do you have some suggestions for me?
For your interest:
I love playing RPGs (gothic, risen, the witcher, dragon age, skyrim etc.)
Shooter are good, as long as they have a good story!!
I really dislike everything casual (like farmville etc.) so please don't suggest me stuff like that
Money is no problem so post everything you got as long as it's worth it
hope you guys can help me, because i'd really like to play some good games on my smartphone when I work abroad...

I suggest you to try the Sorcery! games. For now there are two parts (a third one in development) and they are completely story driven. Both of them look like a tabletop style game, with combat, nice hand drawn images which shows you how the game universe looks like, spells and many paths to choose (great replay value). Since money are no problem ,I fully recommend touy them. Also, after you finished the first game, you can sync your saves to the second one to continue the story with the skills, energy, items and gold from the first one (it also influence your game very much, both in gameplay and in relations with the NPCs).
I'd recommend you Aralon - Sword and Shadow. Also try Limbo.
Purchased it yesterday as it is on sale
Will look "avalorn" up later when I'm home
Thomas Was Alone. I'm not joking. I guess it's a puzzle platformer, but it has excellent narration and a charming story. I'd compare it to Portal but without the offensive parts. Not casual like FarmVille, but more casual than RPGs. So, your call, but I think it's a great game.
