Having come recently from iOS to Xperia Play, I 'm finding its online multiplayer severely lacking compared to iOS. There are some questions deeply rooted (lol) in my mind which I can't find answers for and hope the knowledgeable people here can help me with.
First, I am no Apple fanboy (though I respect their products) , I prefer playing games with physical buttons hence my switch to Xperia Play. However, comparing Gun Bros online multiplayer iOS and Android versions I must ask:
1) Why does the game Gun Bros ask me to have a GameSpy account and a wifi connection when on iOS I could play online multiplayer IMMEDIATELY via GameCenter and even via 3G? (Well, the connection was sometimes slow, but it worked).
2) Why is the game forcing me to open a Facebook account in order to play online? Personally I despise Facebook and will never use it. The iOS version did no such thing.
3) Why does Open Feint NOT provide online multiplayer the same way GameCenter does on iOS?
4) Are there at all any games I can play on my Xperia Play using on-line multiplayer the same way GunBros does in iOS version? I mean, two players doing the same level co-operatively where I can see the other player and his actions on my screen.
4) If there are such games, am I am ok with just Open Feint or do I have to use some stupid additional app like Facebook or GameSpy?
Thanks for any answers and sorry if I sound a bit negative. I do love gaming on Xperia Play, it's a lovely handset, I just find its multiplayer features so far very limited.
I'll try and answer your questions as good as i can, allright?
1) God knows. It's the Developers decision, how he manages stuff. And you can bet your ass that it's a different developer(team?) vor the iOS and Android versions.
2) Same as 1.
3) GameCenter is by Apple from Apple for Apple.. it's on every iPhone and provides such functionality. Android does not have such a standard (yet?).
4) Am not the type to play multiplayer games. I emulate most games i play (PSX, GBC, SNES, GENESIS) and i only have 2 other XPeria Play users as friends.. that never really play the type of games i enjoy.
5) (Presumably..) Game developers will probably provide their own servers, or you'll be able to run your own on your handset. On iOS such fucntions cannot be implemented, so developers HAVE to use their own Servers (correct me if i'm wrong here, though).
All in all, iOS is the simplier variant of .. pretty much anything.
But if you want REAL customisation, aswell as a real swiss army knife at your hands - Android is much better.
(How did i end up in a iOS vs Android phrase.. i don't really..)
Hey
So my pc kinda has limited capabilities, so i was wondering if there is an app to download that lets you write games on your android device, similar to AIDE which is used for apps, just instead now for games. Thanks

So I'm wondering if anyone has any idea on how to add games and apps. not shown to the game enhancer. Not every app is able to be under it and I'm not sure of the restrictions.
It seems to function similar to the Samsung game tools app. Which on my s9 I had to keep below a certain version in order to keep certain apps added.
Is there an older version of this app. Or a way to edit it to get non supported apps on it

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HAve u found out how to add any app to the game enhancer????
I would also like to know how the game amp app works???? Just as far as I know, it only works on single-player games with a storyline. If you play competitive games, then this is equivalent to a cheat. I've been playing LOL for a long time now, and I couldn't develop in this game in any way. So I decided to start playing against more vigorous opponents at higher ranks. Then I bought a highly rated account here https://www.lolfinity.com/ . After two months, I noticed how I began to play better for a higher-level game. Now I have my own team, and we sometimes perform in tournaments.
Hey Everyone,
I wanted to share a project that I was working on for the past year with you,
The app called Friend Games, There are 5 games in Friend Games and every update some games may be added,
the cool thing about Friend Games is that you can play the games with a face of your choice using your account
In Friend Games, there is also a feature called "Face Of The Week" which gives you a new random face to play with every week.
In order to play with a face of your choice, you currently need a premium user but the "Face Of The Week" feature is free
and lets you experience how the app actually works.
I would much appreciate your feedback on the app and hope you will have fun playing it!
