Guest mavisdavis Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 I dont think you can get a codec for it as the movie plays right at the begginig of the game. delete the 3 files in Storage/My Documents that start with vp and end in .dat and it'll retstart as if t were a new install and you should see the film. It appeares as you enter the garage.
Guest xenophobe Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 (edited) Wow... I WAS really impressed with what I saw... the menu, going into career mode, seeing the movie, the selection screen at "the garage"... unfortunately, the game crashes back to the phone after selecting a partner, and I can't get any farther than that. I've tried reinstalling, tried working the menu keys with a d-pad center click, or hitting the home key to continue, but it just exits. I have a Audiovox SMT 5600 in the US. I might be running low on resources... funny how PC games give system/memory/storage requirements, and smartphone games never do. Overall a very polished feel to the menu system :-P Oh, I was a tester for Apogee/3DRealms for a number of years... not that it would matter. Edited January 22, 2005 by xenophobe
Guest i_oWn_u Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 hey yo what up all, pretty cool graphics for a pool game like. Is there just a carrer mode with 6 balls like only one choice you can do?

One of the changes we made from the beta test feedback was to do a memory check before the game even starts and alert users to low memory and promptly exit.

The fullversion has 6 rooms and allows play of 6,8,9,10 ball, rotation and straight pool.
Guest ga!nusha Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 (edited) it's for pocket pc....but it has the c500 in the list.... :roll: Edited January 22, 2005 by ga!nusha
Guest mavisdavis Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 :shock: $19.99 I personally think is a little steep $14.99 seems alot better to me as alot of the stuff has most probably been ported from existing code. Please dont all shout at me thinking this its just my view. If this is gonna be the final price I will still buy the game but I had to put my thoughts forward. Its sill rocks and I can beat Big T everytime :D Nice work VpMobile . Hope you havent fallen out with me :roll:
Guest i_oWn_u Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 that sucks so that download on the first page was only a demo version
Guest Disco Stu Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 Do to the large response, we are just going to link the beta right here. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Surely that was clear ?

Guest ga!nusha Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 for me it still is expensive...guess i'll remain with the beta trial :cry:
Guest radiator Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 Fantastic game - used to love the PC version... Gonna head over to Handango and pick up the full version...

Really well done. I've played a few rounds so far, and its very impressive.
Guest mavisdavis Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Is it ready yet. Ive had a look on Handango but I couldn't find it :cry:
Guest akarno Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Only just found this subject so I am a little behind everyone else. Looks great, I look forward to the full version. You need to fix the sound problems though, 0 should be silent and it should remember the settings between plays. A bug. The phone hangs if you receive a call while playing. You can answer and hang up the call, then nothing. Finally, when the backlight times out, you can press a key and you are back in the game but the keyboard was still frozen. I also could not power off, I had to take the battery out. This problem really needs to be fixed before I would spend money on this game. The only other bug I found was that half way through the opening video, the picture froze for a second or 2. When it restarted, the sound was out of sync and the video stopped just before the end (of the sound anyway). I have an SPV C500 (no update). Hope that helps.
Guest Jamma14 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Another bug I've found (not very major) is that if the camera is moving back to your position as you are about to make another shot eg. if your partner has just missed the ball he is meant to hit, and you change the mode to move ball mode before the camera is back in the right position it becomes locked in place and when you go back into aim mode you get weird camera angles for that shot. Hope you understood that lol not too easy to explain!! :D

Guest mavisdavis Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) @ Jamma14 Do you mean the Cue stays pointing in the direction it was when you start to move the ball then doesn't re center itself on the next lowest ball?? It is annoying but I suppose it helps you to develop aiming technique :D Edited January 25, 2005 by mavisdavis
Guest simonbratt99 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 OH WOW, i cant wait to try this, VP3 is still the best pool game on the PC. Is the full version out yet? tell me you can play others via bluetooth???? (crosses fingers) Simon
Guest Pigo Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Incredible!!!!! Finaly got it working!! (through the new beta version) and I'm hooked on it. I'm even playing it now!!!! can't wait for the full release! Pigo
Guest simonbratt99 Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) hi again, Do we know if ... 1. can it be two player 2. if yes, over bluetooth or just pass it to your mate? 3. How much its going to be, (hope its £10 or less 4. is it the whole original game or cut down version? The celeris site isnt that clear is it, why dont they have a note on there saying Smartphone version not on sale yet, or something.? Edited January 26, 2005 by simonbratt99
Guest vpmobile Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) You can play two-player, but just by passing the same phone back and forth. We will have multiplayer network support sometime this year. The price is $19.95, US. The first couple of weeks it is 20% off... so about $15. VPMobile is a mix-match of VP1->VP3. Obviously, some artwork for VP3 was meant to run on nVidia graphics cards so it isn't going to work on the phone... however, we made every attempt to get as much as we could in there. Keep in mind, the graphics engine was written from scratch to support mobile devices. We think you will find that the graphics are amazing given the platform. hi again, Do we know if ... 1. can it be two player 2. if yes, over bluetooth or just pass it to your mate? 3.
