Will EA and Capcom Develop Games for N900?
 

Do anybody have the information that will Nokia N900 gets games from EA and Capcom like on Bada Official web site the CEO of both companies are Congratulating Samsung and promising to develope games for Bada . I think nokia should also contact them like samsung did. :)

Nokia could help pay dev costs to stimulate interest, but given Nokia has basically left the Maemo 5 dev community to fend for themselves and provides no dev or marketing support, prospects do not look good.

hi Farruk, sorry to be a pain, but most people will not be able to read your post because:
a) it is quite poorly written, and really hard to understand what you are saying
b) People like me using dark theme's can not rea d dark blueon Black backgrounds!

Unfortunatley i'm not sure what you really mean above, and have never heard of Bada before.

Do EA and Capcom make similar games for other mobile device? - do they design for linux etc? - i think you might want to go away and research it? :)

Bada is samsung's new OS...and frankly if u want games get a console...why in the world should i waste my processor cycles on some game..push email im and immense hackability is the USP of this device..it is not advertised as a gaming platform like the iTouch ..its a mobile computer...

The OP does bring up a good point in that who IS developing commercial apps for Maemo 5? For a high profile device, Nokia does not seem to be breaking their backs to stimulate interest. Can any devs confirm that Nokia is providing any resources from their dev and marketing teams and are functioning as part of the dev community.

Again, that support by Apple and Google is what set the foundation for their app markets. Not seeing much effort by Nokia, but I could be wrong.

N900 would be sweet for some great games, but all I am seeing are (very much appreciated) ports. I love Duke Nukem:)

hmmm ... I will try to make it as simple as i can :)

Bada is a new OS from Samsung ! http://www.bada.com/about/

EA and Capcom are two differnt companies , they make games .

They probably won't, the market share of Maemo5 devices will likely remain very small compared to android and the likes.
Big companies target big market shares, and I'm not even sure android phones is a market share big enough for EA or Capcom.

This is quite a misconception we have here...

My big mobile computer aka 15" laptop has a core 2 duo totaling 6ghz with 4gb ddr3 and geforce 260M that will soon be upgraded to 280M.

Conclusion1:
My mobile computer runs any game out there better than any console out there, with better graphic details and higher framerates.
If I had to play GTA4 on a PS3, the low texture detail, would make my eyes bleed.

Conclusion2:
Some smalltime fruit-name-companies out there starting with the letter "A" (like Apple) DO rely throughly on game development for their platforms, especially because a vast segment of customers are teenagers. I have indeed seen nokia neglecting this segment since forever, leaving ngage1 to die and making a mockery out of ngage2.

Conclusion3:
I hope never to get the feeling of a winmo/android when holding a maemo/symbian in my hand. If that ever happens I'm gonna get me a nice dual-band monochrome lcd phone!
