ShadowGun not for SGS2 :( - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

It's available for those with Tegra 2/3 devices. Looks like this magnificent game is not available for us.
ShadowGun now available on the Android Market
Any ideas how this may ever get to be on a SGS2? This thread might be a waist of time.

google chainsfiredd 3d and nvidia and galaxy s ii. there's a workaround for this and tricking the phone into thinking it has a tegra as far as games are concerned.

Very nice! "Thanks" given.
Have you tried this game with ChainFire3D? Others?
If so, how well does it work??

works flawlessly just a little bit of a hassle to set up. I hope devs begin to integrate this work around into the roms... or that they make these games compatible with our phone.
Edit: Thanks for the the 'thanks' does wonders for my ego. ;-)

Yep thats what you do ;-)

got it working on my international SGS II, yay
now it's downloading the required files, but it is only showing in a little window in the middle of the screen.. anyone have the same problem?

The download window will be small, but the game will take up the whole display.

Wow, It plays like a dream. I have a new game to show off my phone.

I wonder where I've heard that before

Bought the pro version of Chainfire3D and installed the nvidia plugin. And what do you know, shadowgun now shows up as an available app in the market.
Yes!
Worth the money for supporting development as well as making it available in the android market.
This page helped, worth checking out:

You have to google the Tegra plugin. They can't post it there due to the legality of posting Nvidia's algorithms, or something like that. I had no problems finding the plugin, though.

Fixing your permissions through ROM Manager or recovery could make your games stop working. If this happens you can try wiping your cache and dalvik-cache, then reflashing your ROM. That fixed it for me. If none of that made sense to you, and you have Root Explorer, you could try my instructions here:

For those of you who have it working I have a question.. Is it REALLY worth the $4.99!? Ive been spoiled by .99c games. Honestly I doubt I purchase it just because of that. But if Im missing out and NEED to play this game could any body offer a brief explanation why? I have read about the game already but would like to hear from someone who is playing on an Atrix. Thanks ahead of time.

i bought it yesterday, but didn't play it for very long. it's a pretty fun game, and the controls were really intuitive. it's exactly how you would want to control a fps on a touch screen, left side of the screen for moving and right for camera.
the graphics were pretty amazing for a smartphone, i was impressed. and i didn't experience any sort of lag, which was even better (using the 1.0ghz enhanced kernel CM7)
i'd say it's worth the 5 dollars, i only got about half an hour into it so far and was already satisfied with my purchase. the animations are all voice acted so far, gameplay is fun, and controls are great for a touch screen.
I highly recommend this game. Well worth the $5. The controls are much better than the gameloft FPS's that I've played and the graphics are amazing. When you compare the price to a console game it's a no brainer purchase.
On the gameloft shooters they kinda auto aim for you (sorta like goldeneye on n64) but on this game once you press the fire button you can move your finger and move your aim, like having dual joysticks. Also the left joystick appears wherever you put your thumb (on the left half of the screen) eliminating the problem of your finger missing the joystick.
The cover system is easy to use and works well. It's nice to have that instead of just having to run around shooting. The enemy AI isn't as good as many console games but miles ahead of other mobile shooters. Enemies will move from cover to cover, one will stick back while the other tries to flank you, etc.
There are a few very minor glitches here and there, but it runs very well on the atrix.
Well worth it...just be ready to kiss your battery byebye

Haven't checked, but i haven't modified it, it's the one from aura 1.2.2.1 deblur aura. Might be the 3.2.0 market messes things up.
Definitely worth it,especially considering it'll get an update for multiplayer in the near future apparently (forgot where i read it but it was a legit source). And the game is great to play, it has great graphics and is very smooth and fast.

Hey all over in the photon forums I have figured out the mapping to be able to use a PS3 controller with the game. I would post a link but I am on mobile. Look in the photon themes and apps. The title is easy to see. Says Shadowgun available for tegra 2 devices. I have only tested the ps3 controller with the photon so hopefully it works for you guys too.

I'm using Aura 1.2.2.0 (just haven't made the upgrade to 1.2.2.2 yet) and had the "download is incompatible with your device" from the market, however, I was able to install via market.android.com
Also... Yesterday(?), there was an update available for the game. After installing it, the character was holding an invisible gun that shelled out little pink blocks. Apparently this was a pretty common problem. This was fixed by reinstalling the game after deleting /sdcard/Android/data/com.madfingergames.shadowgun

Sadly there is no way to make hdmi mirroring with the Atrix... Widescreen that is.
This game is great on both my Atrix and eee pad transformers. For anybody having glitches, just uninstall the game and reinstall. I had to do that on both devices afterthe update. Also for those who have an eee pad with dock, you can plug up an Xbox 360 controller and play the game like it is an Xbox 360 game, just loads faster.

Is the game worth it? It's a bit like asking if it's worth breathing. The graphics are amazing, the controls are very user-friendly and fun, the game runs without any sort of lag or problem and it's like Resident Evil 5 but for mobile phones.
This is the first game that i actually find worth buying for my Atrix.
Ratings: 10/10.

The Atrix does not do HDMI Mirroring in Widescreen.
I suck as FPS and I'm a sucker for eye candy, but I definitely think this is a 10/10. Very well polished game. Some FPS pros might get bored of it but I'm not good enough at the genre to make an informed decision lol
Definitely with $5 or whatever it was.

how you succeed to intall data files?
it say that it can download data files because my device is incompatible.
How you download the game data is here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435617
After getting the game for free off Samsung apps (they had that special promotion, not sure if it still there) I can say it runs pretty smooth. However, there are some times it hangs just for a half sec, does anyone else experience this small lag? I have a feeling it is because the one I got for free from Samsung was for the galaxy sII, maybe there are different versions for high end devices? Am I correct in assuming everyone else got it by faking their device as a galaxy S? I might have to buy the galaxy s version if I want to get rid of it, although it is perfectly playable, just minor hangups.

Chainfire3d: Boost Your Graphics on the SGP5!

Hey guys! Just purchased and tested Chainfire3d on my Samsung Galaxy Player 5' and it makes Gameloft games look MUCH better with the 4xMSAA. It went from the jagged edges look absolutely HORRIBLE to looking much, much better. While there is still a bit of roughness on the edges of 3D models, it still looks so much better.
I highly recommend giving this a shot, it made Asphalt look so much better! If you don't like it, it has a short window for refunds as far as I know, so be quick! But I'm positive you'll love the difference as I did!
<EDIT> Read 1st Post <EDIT> by Zaiinn
I recently discovered chainfire3d worked on my SGP.. nice difference! LOVING night mode too, that's arguably my favorite feature.
A lot of game look and run better too. I wish I could get CF.lumen working too, but it wont detect a location. Probably has something to do with it not having a cell radio.

The 4xMSAA (MultiSamp Anti-Aliasing) works without any extra plugins. Make sure you check the "(BETA) EGL driver" is checked when you install the CF3D driver. Then go down to:
Per-app OpenGL Settings --> [Select An App] --> Go to the bottom and you'll see the option.

Future of Tablet Gaming

So, I bit the bullet and bought a Prime, I had talked myself out of it about 9 million times, was going to buy a used one from chin-a-ling (sorry mate) but my fiancee pushed me, and pushed me and I finally bought one... I am in love.
But the title says it all, I am wondering what the future is going to be. My hope is to end up being able to play Portal on this thing one day. With the fact that Bethesda has mentioned possible tablet ports of older titles, Valve has always been one to examine all unique possibilities. It would be incredible to be Chell running through the hall way, aiming and then tapping where I want the portal
Anyways, what does everyone else think? Looking forward to seeing what the major companies might do? Games you hope to see ported or even developed as a standalone counterpart from your favorite series?

I think tablet gaming especially on iOS has a bright future. Some of iOS's best exclusives have trickled their way to Android. But there is still a lot to be desired on the Android platform as far as games go. Currently EPIC is making fantastic games for iOS through ChAIR Entertainment. Hopefully they will one day embrace Android.
Well ios has infinity blade and usually gets games a bit earlier. That's about it IMHO.
Android has amazing emulators and most importantly full gamepad support.
There are also some really nice looking tegra3 exclusives coming. Definately infinity blade lvl of graphics.
I'd say the future is bright. Me personally I'm hoping for point and click adventures getting big on tablets. They perfect for touch control.
Gaming on tablets and Prime will be SICK! Just watch. Already amazed at the types of games I'm playing already. And I don't play b.s. ones like angry birds or whatever. Lol hardcore gamer here.
I used to be a hardcore gamer before I joined the Navy but after I got out I haven't had time with school, but I am a huge Portal/Half Life Fan, as well as a few of the other artsy FPS games e.g. Mirrors Edge. I KNOW the Tegra 3 can handle it, it is a matter of whether or not the big guys will believe in the future of tablet/mobile gaming. It is a growing segment of serious gamers, and I think that tablet ownership would increase as games become more innovative/complex.

And it works like a charm. It never ceases to amaze me that the first time I played day of the tentacle I had to clear my 40MB(!) hdd before I could install it, was supplied om an enormous amount of floppy disks, took ages to install and now I can play it on a apparatus small enough to fit in my pocket (in case of my galaxy nexus)...
They need to bring the Broken sword series to Android. I have both games on Ipad n loved them. Like a touch point n click. Graphics n storyline is very good.

There's an app or method to get apps not available in your area or whatever. I forgot what it was. I would think as long as you have a decent to fast internet connection, Onlive should work fine for you. Plus its a free app so technically someone could upload the free apk for you to use. Worth a shot.

that wouldn't even matter. he just make a free account then sign in. there's nothing in the app that's esteeming location, I don't think. I would think as long as he make an account, which is just providing email address and making a user name, he would be good. worth a try. nothing to lose.
