We gamers know that gameloft has a pretty good game lineup for Android devices. As of now, our beloved 300 Pad is incompatible with most, if not all, Gameloft games. I would like to start a small campaign to get Gameloft to support ASUS devices (the Prime has had some problems with compability too AFAIK). In this post you will see three links at the end (Facebook, Twitter and Google+). If you're interested in playing these games or just want to help out the 300 community please post something like this in one, two or all of their social media pages:
"I'm a big fan of your games on android, but I feel a bit left out since I got my new Tablet. I was excited to be able to play your awesome games on my ASUS TF300 Pad, but to my surprise your games are incompatible. I'm afraid I won't be able to experience the full tablet experience without being able to enjoy Gameloft's high end games lineup. Would you consider adding the TF300 as a compatible devices in future updates. Thanks in advance."
You can make your own message I just came up with this one, you can use if you want. I believe if enough people begin to pressure them, we will get compability really fast.
Anyways here are the links:
Facebook
Twitter
Google+
Im sure they will being that the whole tegra3 processor was meant for high end games.

I hope so, one of the reasons i got this tablet was to play games like modern combat 3
I expect Gameloft will show us some love before too long. I'm getting the sense that Samsung and ASUS are shaping up to be the two big Android Tablet manufacturers.
When I tried to exchange my defective TF300 yesterday at the Best Buy where's I'd purchased it, they had to send me to another store because they were all sold out.
Gameloft certainly has the TF300T on their radar now. Getting more Gameloft support daily it seems. Modern Combat 3, Let's Golf 3, Six Guns, and a few others became compatible this week.
for those who cant wait like me : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697043
I want them to update their older titles for ICS; like dungeon hunter 2, because number 3 pretty much sucks :/
Nova3, gt racing and tintin are now compatible
Oh yeah and order ans chaos

One of the main reason I bought the device is for gaming. It seems a lot of the gameloft games ive purchased previously is not compatible with this device. When do you think we're cooking to see gameloft supports this device? I really wanna try modern combat 3 on this thing specially

Approximately in 2012....or never. They didn't support the original TF so they may very well continue the trend.

I'd hold off as development for the tegra 3 is still sorta new...tegra 2 really has just come into its own recently.
If you look at the Tegra zone games...there are a few coming out soon that look pretty decent...and a few out now that are nice if your willing to pay.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately though I don't want to buy the games again. At least not from gameloft site like I used to. I've been buying them from the market so I can download them to any of my device. Just sad to see prime not being compatible.
Honestly, and I'll probably be burned for this, if gaming was your focus behind purchasing a tablet, you should have gone with an Ipad 2. They have an unmatched collection of games, a lot of which are pretty damn top notch.
MC3 works fine with my prime...
Before ordering my prime, I had a Tegra 2 (a500) tablet, and I had purchased a couple of Gameloft titles that worked fine. I hope these can cary over to the prime! (If Tegra 2 Gameloft titles work, then Tegra 3 should too?) just a thought!

Why couldn't you just take the apk from your old device and transfer it over to the prime? It should install fine.
thats the first thing i did. Its not that it wont install but it'll say not compatible with my device. And these are games that were made for Acer a500 that works on my Acer a100. I changed my build prop to make market think I have an a500. Both Tegra 2 devices.
gameloft would be smart to make games work with the prime and tegra 3, stupid company move if they dont in my opinion
I heard a while back that Gameloft somehow ties the install to the device, and that the same APK cannot be installed more than once ? Maybe it does some sort of authentication against their server? Try getting them to give you a clean download of the title you payed for and see if that works on the prime.

I just tried the same thing with Asphault6 HD. it doesn't show up in marketplace on the prime. I have it on my Atrix4g. I emailed myself the apk to the prime. it installed and everything but once I launched the game, it said it wasn't compatible with my device and to request a refund..SMH
its only a matter of time. they supported tegra2, my atrix, so they should eventually update to support tegra3 or Prime. hopefully as I find gameloft games usually the best. aside from epic and EA. is Rage HD out for Android? love that game on my Ipad.

Maybe. However this are games I bought from the market ie. MC3, asphalt6, backstab. And some free ones like Brothers in Arms, Lets golf 3. So trying to get a new download from market wont work since they dont show up in the first place in my Prime.

I agree but they still dont 100% support tegra 2 devices. For example the original Transformer prime only has certain games available. And they are old ones like spiderman, OG dungeon hunter, NOVA 1st one. And I think 1 more.
Then on my acer a100 its also limited thats why I had to change the build.prop to make market think I have an a500. Again these are both tegra 2 devices and most tablets currently run tegra2 only. So I dont see them supporting tegra 3. Just device specific.
So, I received my TF Prime on christmas evening I have personally never owned a tablet but have had several Android Devices and was able to play your typical puzzle and tower defense games on them without any problems besides slight performance issues. I mainly wanted the Prime for the gaming and I can honestly say this thing can handle anything I have thrown at it.
I first downloaded a bunch of classics, like Cut the Rope, Angry Birds, PvZ, and as expected they ran smooth as silk and looked better than ever on the Super IPS display. Next I loaded up some emulators, Mame, NES, Genesis, Super Nintendo they all ran excellent.
Then it was time to really see what the Tegra 3 could do, so I tried the Glowball Demo and RipTide Demo and was pretty impressed both game ran smooth and looked and sounded great, super easy controls. I needed to see more. I purchased ShadowGun from the Nvidia Tegra Zone app and was completely floored Visually and performance wise I couldn't believe I was playing this on a tablet, Console quality graphics smooth performance and most importantly fun! If this is any indication of the type of games and performance I can expect from the TF Prime and the Tegra 3 I am 100% satisfied with this tablet Anyone who is on the fence about getting the TF Prime and want to use it for gaming don't be, just get it. You will be happy you did I am content with my TF now and with ICS coming down the road things will only get better.

I'm pretty sure they don't cause gameloft hate Asus.
(why else their game aren't made available for the original Transformer ?
I'm sure Gameloft games will become available to use on prime. there will always be wrkarounds. plus we still great games like teg3 version of Dead Space and more to be released. check out my thread in themes and apps section of prime. its called Prime/Tegra3 Gamers thread. we list what's known to be working so far and more. there's alot of great games out for Android already. coming from using my Ipad, I was surprised at how much Android had. initially I was worried cuz I have all the best games on my Ipad and feared Android would severely be lacking. not the case at all. Android is catching up in the games department and have some really good ones out there. Tegra3 version of Shadowgun owns my Ipad version, which looks great also.
I played Shadow Gun THD at gamestop (my ATP comes tomorrow) and it was crazy how detailed and smooth the game was! If they can get more support for optimized games who knows how many incredible games we'll see!
While shadowgun is amazing and stunning my favorite is riptide
I too purchased the prime for gaming mostly and was very pleased when playing the available games. But I'm disappointed that gameloft games are not available for the prime. It is Gamelofts fault but end result is still can't play it. I think Dead Space is the same since I couldnt find it in the Market either.
Once root is available you can probably change build.prop to make market think you have a different device but that will prevent you from seeing tegra 3 optimized games so youd have to switch back and forth between two build.prop. But still this isnt guaranteed games will still work correctly.

Dead Space is offically coming to Android. The tegra3 version. not released yet, I believe. A couple people said they had it already but its not tegra3 version n more than likely a hacked version.
How ease it to hook up the PS3/360 controller via blue tooth with TP. No way I'm playing games like Dead Space with a touch screen.
ps3 controller is compatible natively through BT on the prime, the xbox controller needs to be plugged in via usb (which means you need the dock) to work, but it also natively supported that way.
the games also have to have gamepad support enabled, which shadowgun (iirc) does.

I think by prime having better battery life, a fifth core, best.display, and a beefier gpu from.Nvidia, it just might be. Of course the vita will be strictly game focused plus backing of Sony. so prime would probably produce better looking games since more powerful. the vita is no slouch also but you have to remember two different platforms. vital will have strictly games for it, mostly. prime will have some of everything and as time passes there will be alot of great games optimized for tegra3. the vita does look cool though. I had the original PSP when it first came out. I loved it. I have a good feeling the vita will be a hit considering how powerful it is and the great visuals, compared to other handhelds, it can produce.
Gameloft has officially started supporting our device. Slowly they are adding more of their games to be fully supported for the Prime. Below you will find all the current games that are available to us:
*We now have Modern Combat 3*

Allowed it to see all gameloft games in the market place and download the data. I tried this on my Prime but it doesnt seem to work...
Anyone know of a method?
I did the same thing when the apps went on sale. The crappy thing is I bought most of their games on my phone thinking I would be able to just get them in the market when I get my prime but no.
I read somewhere that you could email them and they would give you the apk's for the games you bought if you let them know your email address and your phone number. I emailed them and I'm waiting on their reply. Granted I didn't tell them its for my prime so I'll see what they say.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
be careful when editing build prop. there's a guy now who his prime is in some sort of boot loop from doing the same and hasn't been able to fix it yet.
Order and Chaos wont work, the latest update broke it when i was running it on the TF101.
Previously we had to run the Xoom version of the game to get it working, but whatever they did in the update broke it
Its seriously ****e for gameloft not to support the TF. When i did some digging about on their forums, it seemed to be due to a licence problem, IE someone wanted to charge them too much to support the TF/ TFP officially.
Stupid really as im sure TF and the TFP will have a massive share in the tablet market now.

the problem is even with the APK the game does a check when it loads to see if it's compatible, i've gotten MC3 to work but other games will just tell you they aren't compatible when you load them.
it's ****ing lame of them, and i won't support them until they change their policy. ALL tegra2 compat games will work with the prime technically.
Most companies will write games to work with OpenGL ES which means they work automatically for pretty much every phone that has the hardware to support them.
Unfortunately Gameloft had it in their heads for a while that it is a good idea to write directly for each individual phone's processor instead of just creating one copy for OpenGL and being done with it. Thus massive fragmentation ensued.
Things are a little better now, they are releasing newer games directly to the market and those are generally compatible with all devices. When I got my VZW Galaxy Nexus I was very surprised to see that all my Gameloft Games installed right away without issue. (The one exception was Modern Combat 3 which was updated a week later).
I am pretty sure that the only thing keeping these games off the transformer prime is an arbitrary compatibility check. If they work on the old transformer directly from the market they should work on the prime.
Hopefully they give me the apk's, and hope they get updated to work on the prime. Seeing as this a very popular device, hopefully it won't take long. Its the only reason I bought them
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
maybe we should do the same like people did with Asus and bootloader. start writing them and complaining to them. that by not making their games compatible for TF/TFP devices they are missing out on a huge market share. our devices are more than capable of running their games. I have all the great gameloft games on my Ipad like Modern Combat3, Nova2, Splinter Cell conviction, and lots more. I really wish I could get them for my Prime. I think if enough TF/TFP owners complained to them then we might see the results we want pretty quickly.
Uno HD showed up on my Prime
MW3 and Asphalt 6 HD do NOT show up. which is sad. those are my fav.

I use this build.prop mod by crossix on my acer a100 so the market thinks I have an a500. Can someone take a look at the lines if it looks like it will work on the Prime?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20200566&postcount=32
With this mod I'm able to see, mc3, Asphalt 6, Nova 2, backstab, Order and Chaos with my acer a100.
I purchased most of the Gameloft games during their sale (Knowing that they don't support the prime).
So far I have working :
Modern Combat 3
Spiderman HD
Hero of Spart HD
N.O.V.A 2 HD.
Not working :
Order & chaos (Downloaded data but won't update to latest version)
Asphalt 6 (Errors out whilst downloading data)
Backstab HD (Semi works - Initial download ok, game runs flawlessly though without sound (music plays, but no sound effects). After exiting and re-running the game, you have to download 2-300mb.
Dungeon Hunter - Downloaded data and installed, FC's after intro movie.
For the working games, I simply used APK's which I believe were modified for the original Transformer (Don't think I can post links, google is your friend however)
APK's will not work, unlike dead space which I can just email my samsung epic apk to the prime, install, and download sd files to play. When the gamelot apks are sent they will install and open then check the device with the gameloft servers. They then show incompatible. You can actually see the splash screen for the game in the background but gameloft is not allowing the game to go further
anyone successfully edit build.prop yet so these games will work?

Actually there's a simple work around for getting gameloft games working on Prime without editing build.prop or adding anything. As I have the new Modern Combat3 on it and it plays very well. can even play online against others. This game looks sick on Prime display.
The work around is you have to find the matching game apk. for Acer500 or Xoom device. As those have the same screen resolution. Once you get a hold of those, install, then download extra data from online. then you good to go. that simple and plays fine. Google can be your best friend

I haven't tried it on my Prime yet, but it looks good on my Samsung Galaxy S3. They probably didn't increase the resolution for the Prime (or any android tablet) once again. We will always play second to Apple when it comes to Gameloft, until game pirating diminishes on Android's end, they are just not willing to put the extra manpower to optimized the game for different android devices.

I wouldnt feel so bad pirating gameloft games if they didnt screw devices over so much. Really, all it takes is a high end version for the big three (tegra, qualcom, and the other one forget the name) for HD devices, another set of reduced graphics for lower end devices, and thats it! Why make a seperate game optimized for each device? I KNOW the tablet version of a game will look good on my prime. Its got the horsepower to play anything you throw at it, even if i have to use chainfire, so why make it so damn difficult for me to play games i know i like? Gameloft is one of the only companies i know of that has problems making games for android, everyone else seems to deal with different devices just fine, making one game version (or sometimes a couple) that work for every device, or sometimes a HD version and a non HD version
No, i have no problem pirating Gameloft games, and if they DO come up with a game that i can buy ONCE and have it work across my multiple high end devices like anything else on the google market then maybe i will change my mind. Until then im not sending them one cent to their online store, especially if its not through google.
Never liked any of gameloft games. Most of their games are just bad clones of other games.

I'm with you on this, and not only gameloft, other companies does that too, shadowgun, fruit ninja, samurai vengeance 2, guerrilla bob, cut the rope and so many other games have a thd version and a regular version, I really hate having to pay twice for the same game just to avoid it seeing awful, I dont really get how dificult could it be to make a game like dead trigger that gets better graphics depending on the hardware

Gameloft even not optimized this game for Tegra 3. Like reflection effect , Motion Blur.
YOU CAN LOOK BETWEEN GALAXY S III (OR OTHER PHONES) AND PRIME , GRAPPHIC MUCH DIFFERENT. YOU CAN'T NOTICED THAT!?
I wait for this game about a month and they even not optimized for our Prime, Like other gameloft games.
If you make some games in Android , you must test your apps on every gpu chips. Why other DEVs can do? You release after iOS for month and you even not fix ANY issues. GAMELOFT sucks.
I have an XBox 360 and played a lot of Halo Wars on it. This was in opinion an awesome RTS game which i barely miss on a plattform like android. The thing I liked the most was to have different units like infantery or vehicles. It does not have to be like Halo Wars but in a way at least. Something like Tom Clancy's End War or RUSE were favorites of mine too. Is there any game that is similiar to those games I mentioned for android? My device is a Asus Transformer TF300. I'm also wondering why there hasn't been a game like this earlier? Tablet are perfect for this kind of genre
