What Android Marketplace really needs most: Quality Games

That is the only thing I miss about my iPhone (Android ftw though). The games are so damn good on it.
Look at this upcoming one:

I absolutely love my Nexus but the games aren't up to par. I wanna try some of the new Gameloft games but I was told that because of the multitouch limitations that the N1 has they are terrible to play.
The only games I need is pocket empires and what a doodle, I am addicted to both

the problem with gameloft games is the very bad optimization not the multitouch

may be it has a lot of settings but i don't have a WII to try
its been proven that nexus one has multitouch problems so it doesnt matter what games. Games that have a joystick and action button on the bottom will not work with multitouch on the nexus one. Maybe if one is on the bottom and on at the top they would work
I'm playing at Heavy Gunner 3d actually, it have both controls at bottom of the screen and they work very well togheter on froyo, probably it was a broblem on Eclair. i've never found problems on gameloft games too (excluding optimization)
Asphalt is a money racing game.
with move2SD now activated in Froyo, why aren't the big game company making more quality Android games... so far gameloft, com2us, polarbit, deckeleven have done pretty well with their games, but we need more games...

perhaps because it's been only what a week? they need time to develop games for the android.
I'd like to see an MMO on android.

Where are the games?

So I've had my phone for a couple weeks now, I was hearing all this buzz about how awesome Android is now and how far it's come so I just took the plunge. The phone has been fun to use and explore as far as widgets are concerned etc... but if I would ever make this my full time device it would have to do everything that my other phone (iPhone4) does. This brings me to the games... so far on the market all I've seen are pretty shoddy looking atari or nintendo looking games, where are all the graphically intensive and/or beautifully designed games in the market? How do I find games that actually take advantage of the GPU in my phone (Galaxy S)?
Gameloft has bunch of 3D games like Avatar and Assiasin's Creed for Android on their website, I can't post links so just google it or go to Gameloft.com and go to their Android section.
Also, emulators

Why don't you go buy a dumb flip phone and supplement it with a PDA? Oh, maybe because you want one device to do multiple things? Imagine that. With phones like the Epic out, phones are starting to pack some pretty nice GPUs - you shouldn't dismiss gaming just like that.
To the OP: Check out Gameloft's stuff like someone else mentioned, they really are top of the line, but they refused to list their games in the marketplace. SNESoid, NESoid can run SNES/NES games. There's also some decent paid games in the Marketplace, you can usually find a demo or Lite version to try. With more people flocking to Android, more developers will start creating fleshed out games other than Bejweled clones (hopefully).

I wonder why people say garbage like oh get a PSP if you want to play games, Or if you want to use a navigation system get a gps, etc. I for one buy a device so I can do it all with one device. Or else I wouldn't buy it. End of point.
oh if you want a phone buy a land line phone instead it works better??? Logical I think not!

Except Gameloft that begins to bring its Iphone hits to Android, there are few 3D games on our favorite platform.
Few days ago, I played Asphalt 5, that's not a bad game, because Gameloft proposed some free demo versions on its website (not avalaible n the market)
You can also try some good games you can find on the market like Speed forge 3D or Replica Island (not in 3D but a very good game).
At least you can try emulators (gensoid, gameboid...)

Best tool for the job is the simple summary. I for one am glad that the entire market isn't dominated by games.. With all of the porn and sound boards there wouldn't be any actual useful apps left.

Cool video, showed me some games I'd missed.
A question about Gameloft's games; I downloaded Dungeon Hunter, love it!
aTrackDog tells me there's a more up-to-date version than what I have, but I can't access it from the market.
Are their games auto update? Or do I need to do it manually?

You need psx4droid...
And you'll need the bios of the ps and images of the files...
FFVII runs really well (on samsung i9000)
You should try quake3droid if you like FPS games. It's awesome.

Accelerometer issues

When i try to play certain games the accelerometer is totally wonky and doesnt work right AT ALL. i was wondering if this is a hardware issue that can never be fixed, a firmware issue or a kernel issue... any ideas?
Yeah, same peroblem here

When I try to play a Polar Bit game like Wave Blazer or Asphalt HD, etc., the controls are completely out of control. Other games like NFS Shift, and the Gangster games from Gameloft, appear as if they will load, then half the screen has ghost like cars and people.
Is this something that will clear up with Gingerbread or will we likely have to wait for Honeycomb (which I have read has been written for the Motorola tab with almost identical hardware to our G pads) ?
Has anyone found any games besides Angry Birds that res up properly to a 10 inch screen ?
Thanks in advance.
I could actually be the game, or a firmware issue or both. Some games work fine, some do not probably as they coded for a smaller phone screen that's in portrait mode by default.
I wouldn't recommend this tablet for gaming, yet. Too many issues that may not be worked out until the app makers start developing for tablets. You could also call CS to complain, so that way they know it's an issue (I've done this a few times, myself).

Not sure I agree that the G is not good for gaming. Angry Birds, Mini Squadron, Steambirds, Quake series, PSX and the down the road releases of Dreamcast and N64 emus have no equal with Tegra 2.
If solely for Android games and especially Gameloft games, 100% agree.
I used to think the sensor was screwed up in the tablet. More I play with things the more I believe it is the way the games were coded. They were not made to work on a tablet in landscape mode. Some developers did a better job then others and may have thought ahead.
Raging Thunder is a good example. Raging Thunder 1 has to be driven with the tablet sideways. Raging Thunder 2 works fine. Seems to me something may have been learned about how things should be coded between game 1, and game 2.
If the G sensor was bad no game would ever work. Since there are games that do work I tend to lean towards the game being broken, and not the sensor in the tablet.

I can't wait til the N64 and dreamcast emus.
Labyrinth works perfect so I'm convinced its the games themselves
I wouldn't recommend it for gamers yet because some games don't work. But agree that, when they do work, they work very well. Angry Birds, for example, is a game I almost wish didn't work.
But since it's hit or miss, it's not something I would recommend to a gamer. I figure that this will work itself out as more Tegra 2 devices are released.
I just figured that some of the games i saw working on the galaxy tab in the vzw should be working on this tablet as well but there were some issues with them not working. anyway i hope can create a database of games that work well somwhere on the forums and sticky it

Motorola Xoom controller for Gameloft Games?

Hi, Im wondering if it is possible to use a gaming controller, such as the phonejoy or other xbox, wii etc with the gameloft games on the Xoom?
Since these games dont have the ability to switch off the on-screen controls I was curious if there is an app or similar which will allow me to play for example Dungeon Hunter 2 HD on the xoom with a controller.
YES YES YES
Look for a cable that specifically states OTG or host. If you go on ebay and search "micro host otg" almost every result will work. Downside is that they're all shipping from China, so it takes ~2 weeks to get here.
then use and emulator of course a few good ones are: Nesoid, Gensoid, and the Super Nintendo emulators
remember to thank me....
DIDNT REALIZE YOU SAID GAMELOFT GAMES THE ANSWER IS NO THEN BUT YOU CAN USE IT WITH EMULATORS SO I GUESS YOU COULD GET THE PS2 EMULATOR AND PLAY THAT WAY

NDS4Droid

If you dont know what this app is, its a Nintendo DS emulator for android phones that was never taken out of BETA.Since this has been removed from the market i think all development has stopped, i think this is a real shame because it has a lot of potential especially with higher and higher specs on android phones.
There are probably similar threads already but i think the subject has run dry and i want to keep the idea of such a cool app in android owners minds.
I was wondering if any developer would take up the job of either starting fresh or adding onto NDS4Droid app. I would but i have no clue where to start when it comes to coding so i cant be much help
The reason i have posted this into the xperia play section is because i would hope that eventually it would be controller optimised.
This is my second thing i have posted in the forums so sorry if i have done anything wrong. Feel free to correct me on anything
+1
This was just the kinda thing I was hoping for, seeing all the groundwork on it going to waste is just a shame :/ Hopefully an awesome Dev will pick it up !
Do you people understand why this project never got very far?
It was because of the hardware capability of our phones. It was not enough for a fully functional DS Emulator which is why development had stopped.
And even if someone did want to continue the Development of this for some unknown reason, then it is impossible because the source code never got released.
The hardware is stron enough, NDS is compareable to N64 but much lower resolution.

Try TigerNDS it supports physical button mapping
http://apps.tigerplay.info/
Also I do belive that with enough optimisations NDS emultion could run full (or near full) speed on the xperia play. Obviously you need to get a talented developer with enough free time on thier hand to actuall bother doing this.
If a new emu never gets made then we could use this current one with future hardware when it gets powerfull enough but thats still a good couple of years away and also none of the current NDS emulators have audio emulation...
Of course the hardware is good enough for the ds we are getting psp games soon which are better graphics than the ds.....

That is because the those games are direct ports and not emulated. Emulators require like x3+ hardware of the actual console which is why some PSX/N64 Games still lag because they are using "Emulation".
The games will be ports and not ran by an emulator so just remember that
NDS has like a 66mhz ARM processor in it. It should be possible hardware wise, but not so ideal in the physical side of things. Showing two 3" screens on one 4" screen will look awkward, especially since the screens are supposed to be one on top of the other.

I was hoping someone would bring this fact to light.
Quality DS emulation is definitely possible. I'm waiting on one of these NDS emulators to offer the option to only emulate/display one of it's screens. A lot of the times, the second screen could be completely ignored, and that'd drastically improve performance.
All I'd really want an NDS emu for is Phantasy Star Zero... that alongside many other DS games can be played using only one screen.
i'm sure that xperia play can support it . it's looooooooong time that i hope to see update for tiger NDS or NDS4droid
i'm really really eager to help someone ( donate ) want to start this project . i've sent sooooo many mails to tiger , but no answer .
lets try it together and find a way to start it guys.
do you follow me ?

i do agree , please port some popular games , mario series
yes! it is totally doable, especially on high end phones now, like my Galaxy Nexus. let's get to work guys!!
I already got PSP games Loco Roco Midnight Carnival in my Play, im sure this game is not a port, it run with Playstation Pocket just like Crash Bandicoot and PSXPERIA converted PSX games, only different by some software coding because it failed while i try to extract it with PSXPERIA.
PSP had better graphic than NDS, im pretty sure Xperia Play have more than enough power to run the game.

You cant not just port a game with was released for completly different plattform. You need the source code to do this and no nds game (except some homebrew) is open source.
Since NDS not a Sony's . We will never get nicely emulated game on our phone

misunderstood !!
please talk about NS as much as you can ... to turn on this project
I don't know if this is enough but you can easily convert the dex file to jar and then decompile the jar file to view the source of the emulator.
