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

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...

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

Mass effect infiltrator works from my friends s2 backup but the audio is a little choppy.

I guess ea have to make improve it's compatibility with the s3. I've already emailed them on this matter.

Hi guys, how is battery use playing these games for an hour or so? How much % does it take to play the game? Does the device gets hot or not?/

Thanks for any reply.

+1 for this, would like to see dead space available as well. Is there a specific ea email to send these requests to?

These games are available on the web if you do a Google search for the apk.
Obviously the sources can't be promoted outrightly on xda as they are considered warez

Peggle is also not available for this handset. My titanium backup of my PAID app is also no use as it's one of those apps that just KNOWS you didn't reinstall it directly from the market.

Sad, I love Peggle.

I'd be wary, many of these apk's are repackaged with malware.
