Free bluetooth Android gaming controller and Gameloft game code today - Page 2

RockinZ28 · 12-21-2012, 08:17 PM

Mine arrived today. Pretty cool, works well with the few games I tried that it officially supports. Sucks that it doesn't have a microusb port with rechargeable batteries. Takes 2 AAA. My S3 in case fits nicely into the controller holster, and its still easy to use the phone in it, except for blocked volume button.

Definitely not worth the $40 or $50 msrp, but I'd maybe pay $20 for one if it supported way more games. At least it does support some of the bigger name titles like Nova 3, Batman, Modern Combat 4 and Asphalt 7.

Nice deal for $5 though, also comes with Pacman, Sonic CD and Modern Combat 4.

Mine said it was shipped, but my tracking is invalid.

Mine did too with FedEx, but then it showed up USPS today. So looks like they may not even be using the emailed shipping method.

Got mine in yesterday too definitely not worth $50 like you said but it's great for on the go. It easily fits in a pocket.

Got mine Friday as well. I have to say the device is a lot better than I had expected. $50 worth? No, but I think $25-$30 would be a fair price for something of this sort. Fits the Nexus 4 perfectly and makes the gaming experience a lot better.

The only real downfall is the lack of games supported right now. I would really like to see FF3, Dead Space, and a few other to be added to the supported list.

Use it with any game. I wish this had been available for Canada. $50 is too much.

I reached out to PowerA and they told me they used FedEx SmartPost. What that is, is FedEx is used for interstate shipping, then USPS handles the local delivery.

Still waiting for mine.

Weird thing happened on my tablet when I installed the Moga app. I have Droidwall so it automatically disables newly installed apps internet access. When I opened it, it was showing Dead Space, Asphalt 6, and a bunch of other games in the Moga app that weren't there on my phone. Thought sweet, they must only be compatible on certain devices. But then I enabled net access to Moga and it took them all away. Thought maybe it was just showing me apps I had installed, but I didn't even have Dead Space installed at the time. Tried replicating it, but it won't do it again

Doesn't seem to do much? Sixxaxis app and a wireless PS3/Xbox controller have way more options. Namely the touch emulation, can make pretty much any game work if you spend the time to set it up, but it's pretty tedious to do so.

Hmm. Well my FedEx tracking still shows it hasn't even been picked up from the sender yet, so hopefully yours is on the way.

I will give this a go and report back.

Edit: Doesn't do any good. Basically if the game does not have controller support that app will not help.

Why would I want this vs a PS3 Contoller + Sixaxis Controller app + GameKlip?

zip1385 · 12-23-2012, 08:39 PM

All in 1 package. Much more portable.

No root needed for the games it supports

Krazy4Real · 12-25-2012, 10:23 AM

Just got mine yesterday. Not too bad.

SAWYER · 12-26-2012, 11:30 AM

Just got mine in Arkansas

NikolaeVarius · 12-26-2012, 12:22 PM

Still haven't gotten mine. Damn

Raduque · 12-28-2012, 03:05 PM

I got mine in today. Having really bad lag problems with it in game. Anybody know what's wrong?

I've only tried it with Modern Combat 4 and Wild Blood, though.

zip1385 · 12-28-2012, 04:13 PM

Is the game lagging or the input of the controller lagging? What phone are you running?

Both games work perfectly fine for me on the Nexus 4. Can try on a HTC Sensation if needed.

It's the controller. I have a Note II. The games aren't lagging if I use the on-screen controls.

edit: OK, I turned off Camera Smoothing and Auto Center in MC4 options and I can look and walk fine, but now I can't figure out how to sprint/jump. Y changes weapons, X reloads and B throws grenades, while A does nothing. Which I'm assuming should be the Sprint/Jump button.

You have to double tap joystick up to go into sprint mode. Same thing with jump, but only when the icon to jump over shit appears.

Supposedly you have to double tap down to crouch, but anytime I hit back it immediately crouches. Pretty annoying.

Yeah, I figured it out. Managed to get it pairing correctly (green icon in the status bar) and the game showed me a control list on start up. However, I'm still having problems. The controller unsyncs during play, and the sensitivity of the sticks goes wonky in MC4.
