Check out the video on youtube. Overall it is a not the best taped video recording because it seems he is holding the camera his self while taping and its a little jumpy and off angle somewhat, sometimes, but, what this guy is saying about GTab and Apple and the stuff he is doing with GTab is fun to watch. He has worked hard to trick-out his GTab http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfNrrxac8OM
Can the iPad 2 not connect to a wifi hotspot from an Android phone? He spent a lot of time on that as if it can't.

The guy was a rioted. I thought the video was entertaining. He was in his own world broadcasting live. He is enjoying his GTab.
Lol, good video. I don't think I'd take everything that was said as fact though. As far as the iPad, I'm not a huge fan of it. It's a good device but the hardware and software is just too limited for my tastes.
Really looking forward to get one, but i m worrying if it is too wide for playing games like shadowgun, nova, dead trigger, gta, punch hero etc
I use my tablet for almost everything included gaming. I m a heavy gamer.
Using motorola Xoom running jelybean now, n the gaming experience here is really awesome. It is Smooth, n the corner edge is not too wide. I played my friend's transformer and it's corner make it not so comfortable when playing games.
So any opinion to share here? If its ok, i think i will grab it.
Thanks. Sry for my bad eng.
i had a Lg G Slate (9") prior to this, and I thought the thing was unwieldy for gaming, couldnt bear having to hold it with one hand while the other does whatever swiping gestures that are asked of me in Fruit Ninja, Mass Effect, or Dead Space; or holding it up for tilt-based racing games. I liked what I had seen from playing GTA on it though.
It's a lot heavier than the Note, thats for sure; this thing is feather light. The sides slope into the rounded corner and its rather comfortable in hand, I'd recommend checking it out at a Best Buy - be warned, they took out the S Pen and left it on perma-screen saver mode at my local store.
I have never done "touch gaming" for action. For action-type games - it's sixaxis controller + a stand.
Dead Trigger + N8013 + Sixaxis Controller = awesome
East to hold, games look good, and they sound pretty decent for what the speakers are.
As Entropy noted, playing with a PS3 controller (if you have one) is awesome. Otherwise I don't find it impossible to use the touch controls. I find them a a bit large, but that's a good thing compared to trying to use touch controls on my phone and can't see anything because my fingers are in the way. I can play with the Note 10.1 for a few hours without getting tired.
Mmm, and I got Dark Meadow working a little while ago.
Has anyone gotten a PS3 controller to work with the usb otg cable without rooting? I saw this video and it looks like it's possible but the vid isn't in English.

Anyways, I'll be downloading this asap and I'll let everyone know if Xperia Play support is still available in this release and how well it works.

No, it's not been improved any, from what it was.
Well, I hadn't played the JP version but I can say the Play controls work well enough but the lag is **** awful. Messing with settings right now but even no sound and low resolution don't seem to do the trick.
Would certainly not recommend this at $9.00. If you have an overclocked device give it a go but I can't find a way to make it run like anything but ass on stock.
Holy ****! Wish there was a demo to try.

Game runs fine here on stock GB, sim free, rooted uk R800i, no lag, no sound issues, looks, plays and sounds as good as the DC original.
Slide the pnone open and you can use the D-Pad, and screen buttons or mix it up and use touch for move, and physical buttons.
Dunno what your issues are, but it's fine here.
Maybe reboot your device, or clear some crap from your phone/check whats running when the game is played..
And run G-Gee offline, that's more bother than it's worth.
I bought the Japanese version, which sits at game version 1.0.0, same as the Western version, it's just the G-Gee programme that was updated, not the game with the recent update a couple of days ago/Western Release.
Not ideal but playable on my xplay, levels work great, but some slowdown during the first two bosses.
Perspective is very disorienting

Also running fine on stock for me.
No tweaks, no nothin'... just a root+debloat.

Cook, but a couple of inconsistencies with your review(on your site).
The ships are white and black, not red and blue, same with bullets(although the black bullets do have a red.hue to them).
And please don't mention the Gamecube version, it was an abomination, IMO.
It may be a shooter, in the sense you shoot things, but it's more of a bullet ballet, and memory game, as knowing where and when to chain, is vital, for a decent score/decent game, with attack patterns and boss patterns having to be foremost to enjoy the game.
Also, as you know, the game is available around the world, so you don't need market enabler any more to buy it.
And if you play with the network disabled/internet off, G-Gee doesn't hinder gameplay, and you get a screen that you just press the "Play" button to get to the game.
EspGaluda II and DoDonPachi Resurrection are another two titles worthy of your money, to add to your shooter collection, BTW.
Cool, thanks for the feedback. I made the video review a while ago for another site but it was never used. I decided to branch out on my own and I needed a starter article while I work on other aspects of the site so I threw that up real quick. Of course that very day the Global version comes out, I figured it would be best to leave the references in there seeing as how it was the japanese version I originally reviewed. I probably should update it though.
Well hopefully someone gets a video of it running on the Play because even after a clean reboot it runs terrible on my device. How do you run G-Gee offline btw?

Brian, click on Legion's link to his site..he has it running on Android in the video in his review, it's not a Play it's on, but that's how mine runs, smooth, no lag, and plays just fine with the D-Pad slid out, and using the onscreen buttons for fire/change, and laser.
As to G-Gee, Just disable your wifi or your data connection.
Start Ikaruga, the G-Gee screen appears, and it should then go to a blank screen, with something like "Network Error", or "No Network", in the middle, with a logo top left, and as *mine is the Japanese version*, on the top right, I assume it says "Play Game",
Hit that, game starts, and to end it, long press on the back button and select Exit.
This, and DoDonPachi Resurrection, and EspGaluda II all run fine offline with wifi/network disabled.
In the video it runs quite a bit better than it does on my device but there is still a lot of choppiness. I'd love to see that same phone playing level 5 since each level (due to the increasing amount of enemies) runs slower and slower for me. Either way, if mine ran as well as the device in the video I'd probably be a lot less angry but I still wouldn't call it a great or even good port.

I't's the same as the original version, so I wonder how could it be any more towards "good"?
Ok sure. That is a Galaxy S3 right? It does not perform to my liking on an incredibly high end phone even though the hardware is more than capable had more work been put in to the port. JSR, Expendables, Crazy Taxi on the i-products have all translated well to newer devices (not using the Play as a benchmark here, keep in mind). It is a $9.00 application that is attached to a social networking program, something which I find very irritating. There are no game-play limitations like you would have in Ikaruga for the DC or GC since the game defaults to free-play with a level selector. Changing resolution settings and turning sound off does very little to help with performance which screams of bad port. When playing at the lowest settings the frame-rate becomes incredibly jerky since the game does not have a very good frame limiter. DDP and Espgaluda 2 both worked great on my device but this port clearly has not received as much love.
Works relatively well in my one x, it jinks a bit here and there, but it's mostly very playable.

It performs just fine on Xperia Play, so something must be wrong at your end, either bloatware on your phone, or your operator rom/custom rom is rubbish, something interfering with it like apps/software running, or your memory card is either fragmented, or just plain slow.
I use a 32gb class 10 card, stock uk r800i sim free, no bloatware, rooted, a couple of sound mods edited build.prop, and nothing else.
Once you get past the "social networking" programme, the game itself runs directly from the SD card, hence the 170+meg download, it doesn't run from the phone, the .apk that is a couple of megabytes is G-Gee's app, with a link to the game.
The ports fine, it's designed for touch phones/tablets, what more do you expect?
The chaining/gameplay is something that was intended to use buttons and a stick, not swipe controls and 3 areas of touch for fire/lock on/change, but with the phone open the D-pad works well, and the on screen buttons work fine for their purpose.
As to free play, how many people do you imagine want to sit for 10+ hours or whatever it was to unlock things, and up their credits, like the original.?
You don't have to continue, you don't have to pick other levels other than the first, but for those who do, who maybe never unlocked everything, or can't/don't play for hours, it's perfect.
As to your earlier slowdown point, you are aware the original version had deliberate slowdown, and this is present in this version also, which leads me to think this is closer to the original version more so than the 360 ports new coding.
The only thing this version is missing is Shinra walking towards Ikaruga, on the startup screen.
And as to DoDonPachi, and EspGaluda, they're not on par with what ikaruga is, as it's full 3d rendering, etc is hardly a patch on 2d spritesm even though there is a ****load going on..heck some emulated old titles fling around similar amounts of bullets, and sprites.
save backup
can anyone provide a titanium backup for ikaruga 13.01.01 i was playing this game yesterday but after opening the game again game screen just went black i dunno what happened . .tried reinstalling but still the same. thought maybe because my phone is rooted or something. i will try your titanium backup file and see if this solves my problem :/
Just to confirm: is the game Xperia Play optimized? Or do you have to use gamekeyboard?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/09/11/new-game-terraria-digs-down-deep-surfaces-in-google-play/
I don't think it's XPO, but it's definitely worth playing even with the touch screen
Noticed this on playstore yesterday and it looked interesting. Its not XPO at all but still a fun free game.

I don't think I can tolerate playing it
Maybe we should email the devs for xperia play optimization? I think it could work quite well with our touchpads (not for block placements), it would justify a purchase for me.
I cant see this game working well with any controller. I have played the PC version to death and it needs a mouse to point and click. Controllers (sticks/touchpads) wont be the same.
If you think it would be, you havnt played the PC version! The precision for some weps you need cant be done with a stick, and digging will be more cumbersome than point what you want to get rid of including blocks behind blocks.
Touchscreen controls I can see working better than a controller due to the reasons I said above, but on a small screen its horrible. I played this on my Note 10.1 and I gotta say its better, but horrible.. it needs a mouse and keyboard :/
Just my two cents ^^

I have the PS3 version of Terraria, there isn't much precision as you said, but it's still fun and playable, especially with multiplayer with friends. The controls for the XPlay could be similar to the PS3's, if it does get XPO'd.
