Quick games

Which games do you play (Xperia play optimized) when you just want a quick play around and not get into a game like backstab. I'm thinking of sonic to fill the gap but are there any alternatives?

I usually fire up one of the OrangePixel platform games for a quick fix / Meganoid, Stardash or Jumpy

I never really liked those games tbh. Wasn't too fond of them and don't even like sonic that much really. Sonic 4 just looks good

Fifa 12, mostly
I usually do Fifa 12 or asphault 6 for quick play. Just a quick match or single race and done.
With a little more time I am actually enjoying Anomaly Warzone more than I believe I should
PvZ was a great time killer as well.

I don't like fifa that much. Pes seems to have much sharper and better graphics but saying that I haven't played fifa in quite a while

I usually just go for a retro game emulated. My particular game of choice is Super Mario Bros. 3

For me its Fifa 12 or emulators.

DeadSpace
Asphalt 6
Modern Combat 3
ShadowGun
Or GigaWing on the Tiger Arcade

For a quick game? I wouldn't get into modern combat probably if I was short on time

Games that work on S3

I just wanted to know what games work for you guys. I figured most games would be supported because of Qualcomm Adreno graphics. But I tried Mass Effect: Infiltrator which just crashes, and MC3 and Nova3 just say unsupported. So I just wanted to know, what graphically good games you all have been able to get working.
Thread is now just a discussion about games on the S3.

Shadowgun works.

Asphalt 6: adrenaline tells me my device is not supported.

Need for speed
Final Defense
Front Line Commando
Most Glu games I believe, Gameloft, on the other hand, rarely works

Riptide GP is a good one. Worth buying for sure.

Nba jam works.

Has anyone tried Chanfire 3d on the US S3? It worked perfectly on my s2, but now when I install it it reboots the phone, after driver install, and the app is missing? I tried to re-install the app, but says 'incompaitable update'.???

Samurai II: Vengeance works
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

six guns did not work.

I don't know what kind of games your looking for but Minecraft Pocket works on mine and so does Game Dev Story.

Which needs for speed works? I have shift and it wouldn't work.
Temple run, Osmos HD, and World of Goo works
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Max Payne does NOT work. You can move and aim but all the other controls are missing and the touch setup is grayed out. You can even bring up the menu to quit once youre in

It's BS about all these games that are not supported for the U.S. Galaxy S3. Millions of people would buy these games and so many do not even work. I have weaker device but at least it has way more high-end games for it. Either that or I can spend more money and get way more high-end games for my iPad.

If you change your build.prop file ALL games work. You simply make apps think youre on a different device....hence the gt-i9100 signature you see below when im typing this on my i747 gsiii

maybe not the 3d uber games you were asking for, but still paid games that -do- work without modding the apks.

new version of mass effect works. version 1.0.38

Can you guys confirm if GTA works?

Incompatible Games

Firstly, my SGS3 is completely stock and not rooted.
I've been having issues with games not being compatible and then seeing other people playing the game that was incompatible on my phone. It started with Modern Combat 3 which refused to download the additional data because of a "connection issue". I contacted Gameloft who sent me a new APK which had the same problem. They then sent me Asphalt 6 and Gangstar Rio: City of Saints all of which had the same problem. I have since tried MIBIII and NOVA 3 which both said that they were not compatible with my handset and to request a refund.
Apart from when Gameloft sent me a game, all the games were purchased/downloaded from the Play store.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or is there a work around that I haven't been able to find? I've searched a stack of threads and haven't found an answer to hit the nail on the head.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Even i'm not able to install most of the games you have mentioned above, if you find a fix, please do update here
Thanks

All of the games you mentioned have worked (or work) on my S3.. i dont know why you are having issues.

NOVA 3 works fine for me, but Modern Combat 3 even does not shows up in playstore on S3, and if i try through web it says it's not compatible with my handset, i've non-rooted stock ROM in my S3, i've already purchased MC3 earlier for my S2
Thanks

Real racing 2,gta 3,reptile gp, raging thunder 2 works great.

Same, MC3 and 9MM doesn't even show up in the app store.

This is one of the reason i'm unable to ditch my iOS devices

had no problems with nova 3 on s3

i have seen a video of a person playig N.O.V.A on his s3.
one more incompatable game for s3 is fifa 12 ( i really want to play)

These games work on my rooted stock rom with chainfire3d and nvidia's drivers installed. The market fix males them visible too.

Hardcore games

Can someone recommend me some good hard core games for the T989D that run well and without any lag? Eg. Gta 3, Dark Knight Rises. Thanks

I am really stuck on Dead Trigger. It runs very smooth and the graphics are really great. It's free.

N.O.V.A. 3. Shadow gun. Asphalt 7

Check out the glu game called bombshells

Splinter Cell, fast & Furious ..... if you are a soccer fan... Fifa 12 and PES 12 work fine for me :good:

Check out Mass Effect: Infiltrator and Dead Space. They're both done by the same studio, who's taken a great approach to touch screen controls. Rather than just trying to fake a dual stick layout, they've really incorporated touch and swipe gestures. And the graphics are great.

Dead trigger and cod zombies are good.

I play CoD BlackOps Zombies and Madden 12..both play pretty flawless. Have played dead trigger,max payne, dead space and they did pretty good. One game I just started playing and it ran good was King of Fighters 3 . Hope this helps you

[Q] [q] Best gameloft games now?

Here's the old threads, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1607643 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778316
What's the answer today? I heard they took Xperia Play controls OUT of Nova 3, is that true?
I'm looking at MC4 and Asphalt 7, I need a third game

ZombieWood is a good option. Others: Wild Blood, The dark knight and the best of all, Modern Combat 4.
Other new great game; but not made by Gameloft, is Bladeslinger.

I'm pleased to report that if asked nicely, Gameloft will provide a direct download of version 1.0.2 of NOVA 3.
I anticipate also getting MC4 for sure.

Got MC4 and Asphalt 7. Got to disable AdrenoBooster for Asphalt, still have some FCs. MC4 works great.

Sent from my r800x using xda developers app

MW - Better graphics, most realistic, licensed cars, great carrer mode. Bad soundtrack
Asphalt 7 - The visual is not so realistic, gameplay like arcade. Great soundtrack. Multiplayer mode
My favorite is MW, but asphalt is an great game too.

I haven't played NFS:MW yet. Asphalt 7 looks bad in screenshots but actually looks and feels really good while playing. I would compare it to NFS:U on the PC, except instead of drifting mode it has a big powerslide feature they call drifting But it's actually really enjoyable. I didn't enjoy the analog control much, but using the gamepad on the Play is great. If I really want to play a simulation, I can play Gran Turismo 2!
I've only played a little MW4 and Nova 3 so far. I think Nova 3 is actually the better of the two games from a technical perspective. It feels much more responsive and the graphics come across better. It's also better from the perspective of playability on small screens. In MW4 you're expected to shoot stuff that's just a couple pixels across. It has autoaim, but it can be pretty hard to even see what you need to shoot on a 4" screen. But this is just a first reaction to the game engine, really, not the game overall.

I havent tried nova 3 yet. But i heard they removed xperia play controls. Is that true?
Sent from my r800x using xda developers app

Nova 3 1.0.2 available from gameloft
I don't even know if it's true, but if you see above in this thread, I emailed them and asked them for version 1.0.2 which I understood to have Xperia Play controls (from another forum thread, if I find it again I will link it) and they sent me a direct download link to the right version. I can confirm that version 1.0.2 works on my Xperia Play with full gamepad support including analog controls.

Im already have nova 3 1.0.2 version, but the touch analog got problem when on vehicles. Really annoying to control it but already finish the game.
