Gameloft, if you 're not selling it, don 't tout it

Anyone heard about GT Racing Motor Academy HD?
This game is the next best mobile racing game aside from Real Racing, which is idevice exclusive
It can be called the mobile Forza, it eats NFS for breakfast and makes Asphalt a thing in the past
With 24 manufacturers, over 100 cars and cost just 5 bucks, it is so enticing that I will grab it without second thought
But up til now no single android device is supported, be it qualcomm, TI, Droid series or the Galaxy series
So if the game is not available, why put it up?

Eh... How on earth did you buy this if it wasn't on the android market?

In fact Gameloft doesn 't sell its games on Android Market
They are sold on its website
And no matter which android device I choose, it says device not supported

I have had this same issue with quite a few gameloft games on their site. It's as if they're just dangling a carrot out in front of us...lame. Games I actually want to pay for, they should let me buy!
Edit: For clarification, I've never sucessfully been able to buy a game from Gameloft.

It seems SE still loses money

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_loses_50m_in_q2_japan_disaster_to_blame-news-2891.php
While companies like Samsung, Apple, HTC and LG are making lots of money, SE, with the ultimate XPlay still loses money and can't make it on top.
Why? This phone should've been selled like hot bread, it should've been as popular as the PSP or iPhone, it had and has so much advertisements, it's now on Minecraft site's front page, page visited by thousands of people.
With this sad news, they could leave the mobile industry in a few years...
I really don't understand.

As long as the community is alive, it's not took bad... (for us)
It sux that SONU ERIcson can't make money.. Not sure what they can do..

From the Article:
"This means that everything should be fine in Q3 and Sony Ericsson should be back in the black when the next report comes out."
As it also says, the earthquake had a huge impact on them, and this is after 5 consecutive quarters of profit. Wouldn't worry too much.

Earthquake in Q1 delaying the delivery of phones to all regions till start of Q3... No big surprise there.
However they should be fine soon.

I think they should have pushed the play more in the united states. I only saw 2 commercials and that was after the phone was already out in the market for a couple of months.

Yeah, maybe in Q3 they would have more profit, but just enough to cover that -50 mil.

The advertising campaigns in south america have been a real success. Most tweets in Spanish about the play are comments about them...

Also releasing it at the same time that they announced the Vita may be part of it. I know people who didn’t get one because the Vita is coming and this thing only plays PSX (And not many if you done use and emulator) and phone games. I was hoping for games designed with the play in mind and not just phone updated for the plays controls. This doesn’t work if not done right. A lot (not all) of people don’t like how they made the controls for all the good Gameloft and EA games.
It is not what I expected for sure. (But I still love it)

I have seen many in Canada. I watch a lot of Game related channels like G4TV.
I also agree with the other guys that say it will turn around soon.

Lack of mainstream games is the reason SEXPlay isnt doing as well as it should be.
I only bought the phone for emulation so I am happy whatever games do or do not get released for it.

However, I've read that 75% of Xperia Play owners have bought compatible paid games. That means that a niche is there.

Cant argue with that. I myself have bought most Gameloft games. Currently bought and loving Reckless Racing too
New Jrioni update has made Mame totally awesome aswell.

I have bought HEAPS of games and i don't usually do that for a phone.
I am pretty sure SE was losing this amount every year without having any of these droid phones but sales have picked up remarkably since they bought into android.
Sony has always threatened closing down their mobile arm but these figures aren't really anything alarming seeing that some regions are just getting the phone now and with the price drop more units are flying off the shelf.

I got all my gameloft games for free from underground community here, b'coz in our poor country, gameloft games are priced too high.. One gameloft game egual to a cost of my lunch + dinner here, sometimes even equal to breakfast + lunch + dinner

I have purchased a few.
I have also spent $Hundreds in iOS Games. The only thing keeping me from spending more on the Play is lack of memory. I don’t want to spend $70+ on a bigger SD card. The 16GB one cost me over $30.

You can buy a $500+ phone but can’t spend $5-$10 for a game?
Not cool dude.

poor country lol. That is no excuse.
In NZ and AU we pay 6 - 8 dollars per game and I also can get a cheap breakfast/lunch for that price.
Also rather annoying because the AUD is as strong as the USD yet we pay more.
Either way that is no excuse for pirating... You are essentially saying "I should get things free because I can't afford it" and you may as well walk into a Games store, take a game off the shelf and put it in your pocket and walk out, if you have that logic.

Check it out.

Finally! Ive been waiting sooo long!
Any more info on this??
Sent from my GT-I9100

There was a version out for the LG Nitro, but I dont think sideloading that worked well on the S II. There might be a new version out for it now though

ya played it graphics are worst when compared to the iphone version..........

im a big fan of street fighter iv.. and after playing the android and iphone version, i laughed hard because the Nintendo 3DS version is a lot better than this poor effort, even if the 3DS version has static backgrounds, at least it's stereoscopic.. and the 3DS version is the SUPER version by the way.. so more characters with 2 ultra combos each and bonus stages..
how many years has it been since this was released on the iphone? capcom didn't took the time to polish the game further or make it even at par with the 3DS version since capcom already developed a mobile version of the MT framework engine..

Why would they -
1) The 3DS version will sell way more than Android at a much higher price.
2) why spend time and money developing something you know won't play that well on most devices due to touchscreen controls?

Well, this is awkward ... cracked before released ? lol

It's available for the LG Nitro, which was then modified to work on other resolutions

Which ver to get? Wvga or hvga?

If you want to use it on an S2 (which I assume since you are posting here) you should get the WVGA version. HVGA is for Half VGA, 320x480px screen.

lol i wonder how many screens will crack because of this game... Street Fighters and King of Fighters series owe me few keyboards and joysticks already

if its released officially then how many chances that our mali gpu can supports full of quality graphics as in iphone version.....?????

It took too long for them to release for Android, they should have release Tekken vs Street Fighter or Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom instead.

When is the official release date.

Some of the games look good, but none of them seem to be compatible with my GNote. The only option I get for download is "Uno"! LoooooL!
It says I can play all of those games on my one year old Desire HD, but none on my brand new GNote with one of the best GPU-CPU combo in the mobile phone market! Big fail for Gameloft... would have like to spend my money with them, but they won't let me!

Just search gameloft and most games will be available. I've played every gameloft game besides backlash on my gnote.
Don't go through the 99 cent link just search gameloft. Currently waiting for mc3 so I can show some support.

Psp games are getting cheaper cause the PSVita (and games are being launched)
So the low prices will be sold on the android market as well, therefore sony still makes some good money from android users on older PSP games.

jeah but it is also good for us. we have full price psp games with high qualety grafics and gameplay. I never had a psp so the games are like brand new for me.
