is this a full version and will it be free on the market eventually. Just wondering if this is some sort of pirated version?

I've got no clue. I was just reposting from the OT thread since this is the gaming thread and it really belonged here. Nobody said anything to Clay Davis there, nor was it removed. Do you think I should remove it?

I got a problem with my HTC Desire. Always when I try to move apps on the SD card I get an error message that's not possible. The apss should be movable though. The SD card works fine and there is enough space on it. Everything else works. Just moving doesn't. Any idea?

Only certain apps are movable to SD.

Got Game Dev story yesterday, and am now hooked. Anything else on Android similar to this, made me realise how much I miss these type of sim games.

Google still has a long way to go with the graphics acceleration within their framework and OS, but they're a fast mover. Epic Citadel ported very well to Tegra 2 and Galaxy S Android tablets and phones at CES.

While this thread is already bumped: PlayStation Suite will arrive to Android 2.3 or higher phones/tablets this fall.

It's a cross platform... platform for games and apps. Everything certified and handled by the PlayStation group.
It will have PSOne games and new games specifically built for the platform. Should really give a boost to Android gaming.

PlayStation Suite software will also be playable on the PSP2/NGP system.

For PSOne games there will either be a PlayStation button overlay (Google is adding this a default OS feature in Android 2.3) or the phone itself will come with a hardware PS controller setup (Sony Ericsson Xperia Play being one example).

For new software on PlayStation Suite you can expect multitouch interface (as the PSP2 supports this fully), possibly in combination with PS button setup to be the default interface.

SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT TO UNVEIL
“PLAYSTATION®SUITE,” DELIVERING THE WORLD
OF PLAYSTATION® TO ANDROID™ BASED PORTABLE DEVICES

Simultaneously Launching “PlayStation®Certified” License Program to Provide
PlayStation® Content and Development Support for Android™ Based Portable Devices

Tokyo, January 27, 2011– Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today unveiled “PlayStation®Suite” (PS Suite), delivering the PlayStation® experience to Android™ based portable devices*1. Through this entirely new initiative, users will be able to enjoy PlayStation content on an open operating system for the first time in PlayStation history.
In the dramatically evolving and diversifying mobile market, the number of users who enjoy games casually on a variety of devices including mobile phones, smart-phones and tablet PCs, has been increasing significantly. By offering “PlayStation quality” content to this rapidly growing market, SCE will not only deliver the PlayStation experience to a wider base of users around the globe, but will also be able to offer game developers and publishers the potential to further expand their business opportunities to these devices.
In providing the PlayStation experience on Android based portable devices, SCE will commence a “PlayStation®Certified” license program for hardware manufacturers. Through this program, SCE will offer necessary support, including development support as well as logo licensing, to ensure the delivery of PlayStation quality experience across various devices.

On the software front, SCE plans to provide PS Suite content within this calendar year, starting with original PlayStation games*2 (PS one® classics) that will allow users to enjoy “PlayStation quality” gameplay on their Android based portable devices. SCE also plans to open PlayStation®Store where users will be able to download content in an easy to use environment, directly via the Android based portable devices. Moreover, SCE will provide a new game development environment in an effort to ensure new and compelling content is delivered on PS Suite, which will also offer opportunities for a wider base of developers and publishers to further expand their business on various portable devices.

Newly developed content for PS Suite can also be enjoyed on the next generation portable entertainment system (codename: NGP), which SCE announced today. Users who have never experienced PlayStation content can get a taste of the PlayStation experience through PS Suite and from there, they can enjoy the ultimate portable entertainment experience that is only possible on NGP.

SCE will vigorously enhance the entertainment world delivering the PlayStation experience to a wider base of users.

*1 Android™ 2.3 or beyond is required.
*2 PS one game console software title. We will announce the tiles when ready.

That's part of the problem. So many different android phones with different versions of android, button layouts, and with/without a keyboard. I wishthere was some more standardization like Microsoft did with WP7.

Sony still needs to prove this worth it. If they demand insane royalties, QA/Cert/ESRB fees this will tank horribly..

Anything is better than the current solution. I don't think many developers will need much convincing, and the greater standardisation and requirements are precisely what is needed.

Robo Defense is VERY Fieldrunners-esque

There is a free version that is pretty minimal, but will give you enough to know if you want to purchase the full version, which I believe is $2.99

Anyone buy FPse? Seriously considering it because my psp basically has no battery life. If stuff would run on my milestone and I could sync a ps3 controller I'd totally be down.

Someone else can be the guinnea pig though :p

No clue if it is better, I just saw a news article and thought id mention it.

Going to get one of them sometime soon though, cheaper than a new psp battery.

Just picked up Words with Friends the other day and really enjoy it. I love how I can play with people on the iPhone because most of my friends have that instead of android.

Most of my friends have words for friends as well since they have an iPhone, but I like Wordfeud much more. I guess because it isn't as flashy and I don't run into any problems that Words with Friends has such as, reporting the wrong turns and spotty visual lag(galaxy S). Can't complain much though since its free and cross platform!

Yeah, I prefer WordFeud, cleaner/simpler look. Ability to have a friends' list. Ability to do random boards as well as 3 different language options.

Gameloft is having a buy one get one free sale on select games. I just bought Let's Golf 2 HD for $4.99 and got Modern Combat 2 HD free.

Also, where is my Plants vs. Zombies? :p

Gameloft is also having a sale through Feb 24th where select Android Games are only $1.99 each (reg $4.99). I bought a couple myself as I've been waiting on sale pricing. Games featured include Oregon Trail, their COD:MW clone, Just Golf 2, UNO, and more. This does not combine with the B1G1 offer but obviously $2 each is cheaper than $2.50 each (B1G1) provided the games you want are included in the sale.

I realize they are hated by many but they are one of the very few devs doing fully-fledged games on Android and not just vapid casual stuff, so I have to support them.

Wait, so it might be possible to hack my Nook Color and get Playstation suite on it?
Click to expand...

if you hack it with a 2.3 version or 3.0, yes. you'd then be able to download playstation suite from the android market.

Does anyone have advice on the album art grabbers? They all seem to only be seeing some of my music, and one added a random cover to the ones it doesn't see. I see that it only does it for music on my sd card, but I thought all of my music was in the MUSIC folder, which I think is on the sd card.

I have it, works great on my EVO. Xenogears runs at practically full speed with the right settings. I can also play Final Fantasy Tactics at full speed, but only in portrait mode. I am not sure if it will be fast on a Milestone, though, but FPse is much better than psx4droid.

Where is a good resource to follow the Android gaming scene? It seems very disconnected from what little I've been able to piece together. Still very interesting, lots more experimental looking releases, weird roguelikes and such, than in the iOS scene, where people seem inclined on going straight for the money. I'm excited.

Unfortunately outside of that forum, GAF, and OpenFeint ... I haven't really been able to find a good enough source.

Android is going to be much stronger this year with the huge wave of android 2.1 tablets coming out, as someone who has yet to own an android device i'm looking into a 7inch tablet, I own an ipod touch 2g so I am sorted for iOS games but for android I want to go with a tablet for a reasonable price, £150 or so.

I will be joining you all soon, brothers.

Reposted here, as I can't make a thread, and it seems to be getting ignored in the OT.

PS2 games confirmed for the Playstation Suite? Anybody with a Xoom and the "Tegra Zone" can verify.

This makes the platform infinitely more interesting. According to Sony's previous statments, anything purchased here will also be playable on an NGP (Link). Which now that I think about it, indirectly confirms that PS2 games will be making their way to the PSN/PSuiteStore( if they're any different) This is all according to Nvidia though, but it makes too much sense.

Might be part of Sony's E3 presentation.

it's been asked by myself (and others) a few times in this thread, but it's getting down to the wire so I will ask again:

I am readying my iPhone game 180 to release on Android. It's fairly souped-up from last year's release in a large number of regards.

My issue is that the Android scene is quite fragmented and hard to get a finger on, especially compared to the brilliant iOS scene. If someone could volunteer a general list of "what and who" websites I should contact when we release this game in another couple of weeks, that would help things immensely.

Thanks for your aid!
