Default Games not available on Google Play

Hi all

This is my first flagship android device so I was looking forward to playing top games such as mass effect infiltrator, dead space, nova 3 etc

To my surprise, they aren't available for my device! Considering this is the flagship android phone out at the moment what is going on here?

Will these games become available in the next few weeks as the developers roll out updates or do we need to email them to make them aware of the issue?

I live in the UK and am on o2 btw

Thanks

Since the device it's new I'd give it time, the eco system has to adapt.

Oddly Dead Space is listed as 'incompatible' on the play store... but if I restore it from my SGS2 using titanium backup it works perfectly on my GS3 (just with low res sgs2 textures)

So probably just needs EA to pull their thumb out and update their list, rather than making any actual changes to the game...

DONATE TO ME
If it works with low res then they won't release it. There are loads of games I have bought for my previous phone that don't work on my 1x, pretty annoying really

The games might be available in the coming weeks as devs need to add S3 as a supported device.. plus some games are country specific. The developers can tell playstore to provide the game/app in some country and not to do so in other countries.

Nova 3 and Asphalt 6 are both available on the market for me now. I think they must have added them last night. I guess its just a case of adding the device to the list of compatible devices, we know the phone can easily handle any of these games its just a case of the developers updating the market!

That still leaves Mass effect infiltrator, Dead Space and shadowgun THD that I can't see. Does anyone know what the best way is to make sure they get added? Can we email the developer or make requests to google play through the market?

Thanks

You will NEVER see this one: it's a "Tegra3 only" game

But Shadowgun is available on market for S3
