I was surfing thru gameloft website and notice that there are alot of new games for android ~
Most of it (if not all) are ported from iphone.
I tried searching for more info regarding these games from most android webbys but to no avail. All that came up was Asphalt 5 ~
List of new games available such as:
-N.O.V.A. [Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance]
-Real Soccer 2010
-Tom Clancy's HAWX
-Assassin Creed
-Modern Combat: Sandstorm
-few others
Just hit up this link for more.
I am hoping someone will do a video review on these games. Wonder it will run well on nexus ~
They certainly look impressive.
Unfortunately Gameloft tend to just port the iphone versions which means poorly optimised code and rubbish performance despite being on a more powerful device
They recently updated zenonia which is sooo smooth now.

hmm... i thought Zenonia is from Gamevil but not Gameloft?
This is true lol i forget sorry! =P
Come to think of it, i don't even have a gameloft game on my phone, i had origan trail at some point. lol.
i am extremely dissatisfied and choose to boycott Gameloft for the same reason as mentioned by one poster above.
to the present day Asphalt 5 runs extremely laggy on Nexus One, hundreds of posters have pointed it out but the devs have to the present day not managed to chunk out one single update.. and that for a $6.99 game.
sucks
I'm just hanging out for a decent soccer game.
Bring on RF 2010... And modern combat! Graphics look amazing.
Hopefully Asphalt was just a test in Android waters when it comes to 3d games. They better get it right this time around.
EDIT: Just went to buy Modern Combat: Sandstorm for $4.99. After entering that I have a HTC Google Nexus One, I get a message saying:
"Sorry, Modern Combat: Sandstorm HD+ is not available for your phone at the moment"
However Real Football is available to buy (im pretty sure). I can get to the checkout stage, but I don't think i'll buy it yet.
Hopefully they are on the market soon...

if you downloaded HD+ isn't that the iPad version?
I was sure I was browsing android games, because there was a picture of a Nexus One with an embedded video playing inside it.
I clicked Buy Now straight under it.
Not sure why MCS isn't working and Real Football is...

Were you really laughing out loud while you wrote that? I doubt it.
Ontopic, it's good that Gameloft at least does something for Android. Some guy at Gameloft complained some time ago about the difficulties of making money on Android software. I guess he saw that Android is kicking every other platform's butt, and they want in on the world domination.
I went to buy Gangstar and Modern Combat and entered my number and it said I'll receive a text shortly with download link. been 9 hrs. still no text .

Is Asphalt 5 on the link given in the opening post, the same 'laggy' version we all have? Asking because when I click on buy now, I see the name "Asphalt 5 HD+".. Is it different?

3D GAMELOFT GAMES!!! Android gaming is taking off!

for some reason theyre not in the market thats weird
Any game where the directional pad is on the same axis as the buttons will be an exercise in futility most likely for us Nexus One users.
wow, they look sweet!
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.
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?

Hi I downloaded DH4 from Amazon app store. It works on Nvidia Shield but the graphic setting are stuck on Very Low. I tried to change it to low but it crashed and when I try to go higher it doesn't work. I'm sure the shield can do better than very low settings seeing as it the latest graphic card inside. Any ideas on how to get a better quality version of it working on Shield?

I'm having the same issue I have contacted Gameloft support about several issues including this, interestingly they have now removed dungeon hunter 4 off the playstore through the shield.... so hopefully a newly updated version will be released soon.
jolly good
Will be good to see. I'm currently trying to Root device so I can get proper controller support and be able to use SD cards to store games ETC
hopefully my driver issue will be rectified soon
DH4 back on google play
DH4 is back up on Google Play... still not controller savvy
are you guys able to select high settings now?

I'm only seeing low and very low as options. This is the first I've ever installed the game.
Emailing Gameloft now...
Im playing gangster vegas on my shield with Tincore mapped keys, I downloaded a mod from xda to enable high graphics and it works really smooth, i hope there is a mod for DH4. Will try after i download it.
Any luck?
Any luck tweaking the graphics?
sadly haven't found any mod for the graphics
New update
A new update as of today says the game supports Moga controller use so it may be possible that the shield will work with it. Not sure about graphic settings or anything yet. Hopefully there is some early optimisation already but havent been able to download yet.
dungeon hunter 4 has supported moga since a long time. Iv been using it with moga. Im 90% sure we wont have high graphics ever on shield or any tegra devices. unless its a hack
bummer
that's a shame. Would be nice. Currently rinsing the ass out of Asphalt 8. Great little arcade racer but the IAP's are just a little harsh as it takes ages to earn cash normally and the design of the game is so tight in terms of what is included in the 69p app price and what is extra.
Such a shame as if they charge $4.99 for the game and didn't add the "buy buy buy" scheme the game would be one of the best racers I've played on a mobile device ever.
Don't mind the grind but it is losing points for being so money orientated.
EDIT:
Just downloaded it, it runs on VERY HIGH GRAPHIC settings with full controller support on shield from Google Play now woohoo!
Nice finally the decided to support a tegra chip properly wow, but where is the offical gangstar vegas version ?
This is very new to me, I thought this was basically a console and didn't think it would have graphics settings
DH4
Cool game..great graphics...just wish it wasn't a money pit game.
well..gameloft is one of the rare companies that needs graphics settings because they tend to have the best graphics in their games, and given that android is like a windows pc with many configs, its good they do this.
So!
I finally own the Nvidia Shield.
I bought it mainly for emulators. I'm not interested in streaming PC games (I don't have a compatible graphics card in my PC).
I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted it.
My first reaction is that the Nvidia Shield is almost TOO powerful. Will there ever be an app, or game or emulator to max it's potential?
I'm not saying it's most powerful thing ever and that it will never be topped, but powerwise it feels a bit avant-garde for a handheld console.
I got a little disappointed when I tried Reicast.
It runs fine, but there's too many graphical glitches for it to be playable IMO.
No disrespect towards the developer. He has done and is still doing amazing work on the app, but I was hoping it would be more playable.
I have no doubt that if development continues, Reicast will run flawlessly on the Shield.
What fun is there to do with the Nvidia Shield?
Anything I should give a try? Emulator wise or just some Android game that is fun to play?
Will it ever be able to run a PS2 or Gamecube emulator on it's own, not streaming from a PC?
Well I've had two since launch date and love the shield still on bench scores out preformed the note 3 and as far as ps2 and GameCube or any emulator its not so much about the power of the device your trying to run it on as it is how well the person that coded the emulator did on coding it for our device and android because if for say you could put a ps2 disc in the shield and it was coded for ps2 it would run ten times better then the old ps2 hardware get me? A lot of people don't understand how that works so I just wanted to clear things up also game wise portal is coming soon to shield I love mc4 a lot and mapped mc3 and love it as well there's lots of shield supported games just gotta browse also some ouya games will work fine on shield sorry this is so long just wanna help anyway I can
You should Google something like: cool thing to do with Android. You have a rooted Android device so you can do anything you want, it's nearly unlimited potential.
It's a good device to use as a dedicated HTPC connected to the TV, you can control it using bluetooth or using another Android phone via DroidMote. Considering it have USB OTG you can connect a harddrive to it and use it as a DLNA server. It make a decent offline GPS as well.
PS. It won't be powerful enough to emulated PS2 (well).

Super crate box is also FANTASTIC on the shield, EVERYONE needs it.
The game is free, it should be ok to post here.
Obviously someone take this down if it's against any rules. (I don't think it is, It's free)
