nokia plz tell other companies to make games for symbian devices like gamesloft,ea etc
i was very dissapointed to see that my friend who had got cheap samsung galaxy y was playing gta 3 really the 3d version saint rio hd game and had more hd games than my n8 had. He was punning me of buying a expensive mobile and having nothing in it...i have tried to contact the company of games but they did not listen to me and kept saying that iphone and android is the first priority....and webos also has more games than symbian

I doubt that claim very much.

In any case, it is still up to the developers (unless Nokia starts to pay them for making the games), and given that Android is nowadays vastly more popular, as is iPhone, and as Nokia did announce last year in February that it will be phasing out Symbian, it is no wonder that developer prioritize the more popular platforms, as it is easier to get a bigger audience for their apps that way).

And if Nokia is reducing its investments in Symbian in general, they're not going to invest more in paying for additional apps/games, as it would probably be wasted money. Nokia's interest is now in getting Windows Phone to become a success, so any new investements they make is in that direction rather than an operating system/platform that they've said they're in the process of killing anyway.

If Nokia is not really investing in Symbian in a serious way (yes, they do some maintenance work for the OS, and they'll release also a few new models, but overall that's not going to have much of an impact), that means that it discourages developers from doing it, too.

I don't really understand why someone would buy a mobile just to play games.

On the bright side you could always play movies on your phone and make fun of your friends' weak screen, take pictures with your camera (which is 6 times better) and brag that your phone looks original, and is not a cheap iphone knock-off.

why only screen and camera????? Why not games??????having option in app more than 200000 in android that is not cool ????? Even in cheap android phone have cool games running....

[gamessss]

why just nokia dont pay to developer for making games???whe the have nice market value and prestige??????????

[RaithK]

i guess mainly because N8 is aimed at serious adults, people too busy to play games. N8, and N series are not for kids.

Also, to be more specific, there is also an incompatibility between games and mobile phones. You cannot play a pc game on mobile phone just as you can't on a console. Also, have you noticed games like gta3 are not free? I mean you have to pay for them. You cand find some games on the store for you, but the fact is who in his right mind would play a game which quality is of games launched 12 years ago, or more? Mobile gaming was attempted by Nokia full on with the NGage series, which were unsucessful as nobody wanted games that much.
In conclusion: tell your parents to get you a Playstation portable (vita) too!

first i dont like psvita.there are some games whose graphic are awesome like infinity blade 2 of ios dead space thats available in cheap android and one more the best of best modern combact 3of ios that's 1.3gb!!!!!! game for a mobile dont it be good playing fps in mobile and nokia dosn't have any fps and thats sad

[gamessss]

12 years have passed and also mobile also the technology............AND ALSO THE DEMAND

 The fact remains that what Petrib and RaithK have written is correct. The N8 will never have the same amount of games as Android or iOS.

 Your best option is to sell your N8 and get an Android phone if you want to be able to play those games you mentioned.

All the best.

Nokia is not in the habit of paying game developers to develop their games. Not since Nokia shut down its own Games organization and the N-Gage game service.

From time to time they have marketing promotions or competitions that award some amounts of money to game developers, or pay a lump-sum if they preinstall some game on a phone model or another. However, in general, Nokia expects that the game developers pay for (fund) their own games and put them up for sale in the Nokia Store.

If game developers do not think a platform, like Symbian, is interesting any more, it'd be very expensive for Nokia to pay for all the apps that developers don't want to create for it. With the declining Symbian device sales and marketshare, that'd make Nokia's earnings from Symbian phone sales even smaller, with probably negligient effect on the actual sales of such devices.

You could ask Gameloft, if they care to tell you why they're not putting much effort on Symbian any longer: http://www.gameloft.com/index.php?platform=gameloft&section=home
