Are there many offline multiplayer FPS games about? I can see Critical Strike appears to be but struggling to find any that explicitly say they are.
I'm just looking for Maps where I can play deathmatches against non-humans, liek Red Faction, TimeSplitters 2, Perfect dark etc...
Does anyone know of any and can recommend any please?
No one has come across one?

does anyone know how to get these gameloft games compatitable with htc flyer? just bought a game and it just doesn't work. can anyone help me? cheers.
If you are still on Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) just look for HTC Evo View 4G compatible Gameloft games. Under Honeycomb (Android 3.x) I only got Asphalt 6 HD 3.0.1 to run.
How bout heros of sparta? And other latest games by gameloft? Asphalt 6? Does any of those work ob the flyer?

Well unlike most developers gameloft has a habbit of making their games run at specific resolutions etc .... they do this because they are stupid.
It creates more work for them as they have to release a different apk for each device.
It makes their target market smaller as they cannot sell every product to everyone.
I hope they pull their heads out of there a** and stop releasing games this way.
... sorry for the rant ... but I HATE this about gameloft...
On another note, I contacted them about moving games from one phone to my new phone and they said I would have to re-puchase the games! - money grabbing bastards!

As many of you found when you first initiated your tablet, there were 2 "HD" games pre-loaded onto our Jetstream's.
·Let's Golf 2 HD
·NFS: Shift HD
Now, as we all know, gaming support for our expensive tablet has been well, very slow.
But what I want to talk to guys about today is if the games available to us through the Play Store are, or are not High-Definition games? Because the "HD" part on most icons is missing?
Are "HD" games nVidia Tegra only? Is that the issue?
Should I not worry about it?
Secondly, and evermore disconcerting is that I've been looking through the Reviews sections of most popular games, and I haven't yet found a single review, from any of us...
Does that mean that us Jetstream users aren't buying games?
Please reply.
I have the wheres waldo game.
looks hot.

Good evening ladies and gents.
I'm about to jump off the fence and buy a new phone (and since I'm posting here I guess you've figured that I'm seriously considering the S3). But before I choose I want to know which games I can expect to be able to play. I stumbled onto the Tegra Zone a few months after I bought my Desire HD and was quite disappointed that it didn't support the content. I know the S3 doesn't have Tegra but stil a lot of the games are still supported/available.
I've now read through dozens of threads but I'm unable to find out how one figures out which games the S3 can run. In some cases I see thats it's just the "ultra high" setting that isn't supported (1. is this correct?). 2. Is there a different version of most games that are meant for non-Tegra devices or is it the exact game but some of which lack the highest graphics settings? Lastly: 3. Are there any games that S3 owners won't be able to play in the foreseeable future?
I would really appreciate input to any of my questions. Have a good day/night
It runs Mali-400 games and if you decide to Root just install Chainfire 3D and you can run most Tegra and any other games.
Gaming is very good. Thats all i have to say
Sorry i couldnt be of more help.
Have u tried looking on the playstore? With a friends phone or on the web page. Google searched? There is a thread about good ganes in the s3

S3 can play anything but Tegra3 Specific games, there is an app made by Chainfire it's called "Chainfire3D" where it emulates all different graphic chips in the market, so basically you can play all non-tegra and tegra games that aren't Tegra3 specifc as mentioned above. The app needs root in order to work. Dead trigger is the latest game to come out and it plays VERY nice and smooth. Shadowgun tegra2 version works, Pinball THD, Fruit Ninja THD, NBA Jam works nice PES2011, Blood and Glory work pretty well... I'm not much into gaming, those are the games I own, and I can say they are the ones that will hammer the CPU and GPU pretty good. I'm not sure what you mean with "ultra high settings" everything works. remember that the screen size is 1280x800 so some games that are made for smaller screen will have black bars or some cropping or some weird behavior, but I've only seen that on "time killer" games, can't recall which game was that showed this behavior, but still playable.
Hope that straight things out a bit for you.
Chain fire helps with some tegra games but it's not perfect eg sonic 4 ep 2 lags like treacle and some tegra games don't work at all. However the graphics hardware in the gs3 is the fastest in the world for a smartphone so there's a lot of potential. But tbh gaming without hardware buttons is pretty crap anyway.

Thank you all for your replies.
I had already read through the post you mentioned slking1989 but even though it assured me that a lot of quality games are supported it didn't give me a definite answer regarding how to determine beforehand if a game will run or not (like "system requirements" or similar). I'm guessing the reason HQ games doesn't show up in the Play store on my current phone is that it doesn't support themn thus it's no points showing them but since I don't have the phone yet I wanted to do some research.
My choice is between the S3 and the HOX but after your replies the S3 was pushed further ahead in the race (only kept back by the insecurity around Tegra games really). Now I just have to decide which color to get.
This may help u decide

Putting this under the many issues I am having with the switch to Android from iOS. When I check out GTA: Vice City and Real Racing 2 in Google Play, it says my device is incompatible.
Does anyone else get this message? Is there anyway around it?
No, some game devs for some reason havent made their games compatible. Most games are compatible but a small number aren't. The few that aren't compatible should get updates soon.

GTA Vice City works just fine. I bought it when I had my EVO LTE, so I just put the APK on my phone and it runs perfectly.
Check your PM's.

Neither does Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Real Combat 4, and many other games that I've looked up. Is this due to the quadcore? or what?

Pretty sure it has to do with the screens resolution.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
I'm also pretty sure it's due to the 1080p screen. I've seen people with the Asus Transformer Infinity having the same problem. Probably Nexus 10 people too if we look at their forum.
I had the same problem today with a game that i wanted to pay with a friend. I think that the screen had something to do with it buy what really pissed me off is that he is a die hard iphone 5 fan and trolled me by saying "oh look 1080p screen and it cant even run a simple game"..... I was like man **** you lol

Yeah this is ridiculous. 2 months in, and the top games aren't compatible with one of the fastest android phones out now.
Modern Combat 4, NFS: MW, Vice City, Real Racing, and pretty much any EA or Gameloft game.
I'm extremely disappointed.
They need to update soon because this years phones are all going to be 1080p resolution do it shouldn't take long.

Lot of these developers including some big ones are lazy @$$es.
It was same when Note came out and even with many new phones.
Most of the games will work fine even with odd resolution if they are coded properly. Most of the games are. But lot of game devs put device ID checks in Play store. So basically they disable the install of games on new devices. Many times they take their own sweet time to enable the game install on specific device in the name of quality control / compatibility.
But if you have them installed on your older phone which is rooted and pull the APK and put it on the DNA or my Nexus 10, most games work just fine even with high resolution displays. Its just that devs fearing the -ve reviews or bad star ratings in play store stop you from installing the game. When that happens, I usually write to the devs. Many smaller devs actually listen and I found it very surprising that many write back enabling access soon in Play store. But these big game developers who ideally should take less time as they have bigger teams and staff at their disposal are the ones who take more time to do so.
Makes me angry. And I wish Google implements a mechanism where we can get our money back any time in the future by returning the license if our new phones get the incompatibility issues which go on for more than 15 days. There really needs to be something like this.
It does not happen to even new phones with new resolution displays. This thing happened when SGS3 launched, then again with Note 2 as well. Both these phones had traditional display resolution. Still devs disabled the install in play store for a while fearing -ve reviews.
Unless you develop games I don't think you have the right to make that statement...

I have every right to make that statement when I can run the game without problem by pulling apk from old phone on my device but it's install is blocked artificially.
This is not new phenomenon either. Has been happening a lot for year or two now. It's all because they are afraid of ratings.
If you go through the initial days of sgs3 and note as well as note 2 forums you will see discussions on this matter there.
Some game had genuine issues and rather than fix a minor issue some games and apps were blocked for weeks to months at time. But at least they had genuine issues. Many didn't. Some were blocked in the name of exclusivity. Thankfully they couldn't ignore popular Samsung devices for long. But I have seen some lesser known phones having issues for months with installs being blocked for no good reason. Had issues with oppo finder and xiaomi phones in past like this.
And it's usually smaller studios that tend to respond quickly to user complaints when it should ideally be other way around.
It should not take a big studio 3 months to unblock install or patch the game for a new device.
From my Note 2, right in your face....
1080p is the future. not the past. they will be compatible or the market will force them to.
Modern Combat 4 works if you download the apk and sdcard data seperate. If you've already bought the game, I wouldnt think it to be unethical. But I don't condone piracy. This is mot the case for the majority of games that are not available though.
Anyone get the EA Scrabble game to work?

Pls post all game related issues here. What for? Well I don't know about u guys Buh the game incompatibility issue is killing me...I really want to enjoy gaming on my DNA....we all know the gpu is good enough for most graphic intensive games out there, and even tough that screen is demanding, this phone should have no problem handling games. I have been forwarding reports to game devs via email....and I know they will work on it if we pressure them...so post the game, the issue u having and developer...I will forward it to them.....I am one hell of a gamer and I can't watch my DNA sit there like that,when it has one of the mist powerful CPUs and GPUs out there.
Apart from complaining, you can share your gaming experience on this monster....and help other folks with issues...

Ok here are a few:
Need for speed most wanted- When side loaded the game starts and loads only show HUD in race unfortunately
Dark meadow - says it's compatible in store, crashes on menu
Galaxy on fire 2 - small buttons (resolution issue)
All I can think of right now... Aside from those this phone is a beast with anything I throw at it

Something I'll bet a lot of us didn't figure on when drooling over this 1080p resolution
Very few games work. Knowing what I know now, I would not have traded my unlimited
data plan to get this phone. Sure, I can watch beautiful Netflix movies but, I have to worry
about data now. I just want a good GOLF game really.
