Dead Space Android Port for PS Vita [$845 awarded]

[andiweli]

Playing Dead Space was (and is) always very pulse driving - even the Android version on Smartphones back in 2011.

So why not on the PS Vita by porting the aged Android Dead Space game.

Important: That's NOT the Xbox360/PS3 game 😉

The Android version is a standalone Dead Space game placed between the story of part 1 and 2 of the main trilogy. It has it's own story, mobile 3D-graphics from around 2011 and offers a few hours gameplay (around 3:30 hrs). It is still a decent Dead Space game with all the Dead Space mechanics (cutting limbs, workbench, a big endgame boss), but to be clear, it's NOT the console version - If you are unsure, watch the video below.

Mobile/Android (lesser effects, lower resolution and shaders, mobile graphics from 2011)

Console (console graphics from Xbox360/PS3, shadows, lightning effects)

The game is already on the "Candidate"-list... so I'll start placing a bounty. Not much but I hope others will add some too.

Links and Videos

I can remember there was also a version available with controller support (Xperia Play optimized on version 1.1.33, Samsung and nVidia Shield on other version I remember)...

The game is still listed in the Google PlayStore if you already bought it and you still can download it.
"zzSunset" is EA's way to say "the game is out of support and will only work on Android KitKat and Lollipop" - that's what I've found out.

Anyway, here are some videos...

Just to be sure guys, do you know Dead Space Mobile is not the same as Dead Space 1 right? I find quite unusual that this bounty is getting raised so much.

I don't know how to be even more clearer in my post above that it is the Android game and no Xbox, Playstation, Wii or whatever game :)

There was gamepad support. The game was also available for Xperia Play (integrated gamepad), Samsung phones (when Samsung sold their mobile controller) and even for nVidia Shield.

Well that's good news I could never get gamepads to work on it. In curious if any enhancements can be made. Having the source and all

The game was well received back then. It has it's own story that is "canon" (whatever that means nowadays). It has some cool moments when compared to the originals, and it plays well enough.

This port is also cool in the sense that it will also a preservation effort, and with gamepad support on the Vita, possibly make it the best way to enjoy it.

From what I've found out not all versions had gamepad support - there were also two versions of EA's "NFS Most Wanted" game available at the same time. One with and one without gamepad support - no idea why. That was the aera when gamepads for smartphones were rising...

[falcore93]

ill add $40 to this bounty

[DjangoIsaac]

I'll add $100 to the bounty. I'd love to see this up and running on Vita. Big Dead space fan.

Thanks man.
It works, but i have no sound after a few minutes of play, now i'm trying out the modded data files.

I was so fed up with finding the files for it,
It was not this hard to find datafiles for any ported games, but this was a nightmare.
But it seems like the problem was i searched it too specific like:
Deadspace 1.1.33 xperia play.
