[Q] Gangstar Miami Vinication

Hey guys,
I've been trying to get hold of gangstar for a while, but every version I've tried hasn't worked as of yet. I've managed to get it installed and download the extra files, but when I press new game, it force closes.
As anyone else managed to get this working on the play at all?
I tweeted gameloft and they said they didnt have any plans to release it on the play so I'm going to have to try and find a working on for a different device.

Ive got it but its a bit laggy I used the galaxy S and desire Hd version the desire one was better but its not fun to play with lags

Its not warez, I got a copy from gameloft directly, its not worked so looking to see if there's a better version I can try on my play

Just to let you know, gameloft sent me the Desire HD version and it works near perfect, just a few judders and not as slick on as the desire, but still very playable and workable as there is not an official release in the works for it!

gameloft wont sell you any version apart from the one designed for your phone model, i know i have tried

No they didn't sell it to me, I've had a few issues with some games, so I complained - they offered a free game, but I own them all, so I asked for Gangstar MV and they agreed to give me that - I can post the email from them if needs be
plus you can buy the game from their site if you state that you have a different phone than the one you are buying from.

Slighly different with android, the game works fine, its just not optimized, meaning its slightly juddery and the play controls aren't working!

i've got the xperia neo version of gangstar miami vindication on my xperia play and it works perfectly

Modern Combat 3 update seems to improve controls!

MC3 had an update yesterday.
The good:
The PLAY controls seem to work better, especially aiming, is WAY better.
The bad:
It crashed and rebooted my phone twice while loading a mission.

I updated and it told me to install an additional 761 MB ?!
The game already takes 1 GB !

Yes I had to download that as well. It doesn't necessarily mean its additional, more than likely the download is to update the 1gb of files you already downloaded, so the updated ones are overwritten.

Is this through the market or the gameloft store? Says my version 1.0.0 from the wapshop is up to date :-\
Any chance that it make the game suck up less phone storage?

I find aiming quite easy using the touch pads, although they took a bit of getting used to. The only thing hard is spinning around.
Maybe they should add a button to do a 90/180 degree turn

I find it incredible that that sort of BS ever passed QA...
touchscreen gives the perfect aim, im even gonna try to adapt.
Atleast i know that i shouldnt even consider buying gamelofts products, only good game they have is asphalt 6.

I agree, Asphalt using the D-Pad is great. Touchpads on that game are a little weird to use though, but who would on a Racing game?
With regards to the MC3 update, this has made my game lag more, when the games not lagging the right thumb pad is a bit more responsive. I had previously got away with using the screen to move and the right thumb pad to aim (less control lag when only one digit on the touchpad, that way...) however the update removes the on-screen controls when you have the PS controls open, so this is no longer a possibility.
Gameloft, sort this out! Not that you would in the slightest be looking at an Xda forum for feedback

Yeah, asphalt tickles just that right spot that burnout revenge does maybe not as greatly but quite alot.
And i even got asphalt 6 for free.
But if update does remove on-screen controls... Im not gonna update, i would have wanted to try MP just out of curiosity but doubtfully i will ever get a chance.

Did Real Racing 2 become Xperia PLAY Optimized while we weren't paying attention?

So we've always known that it showed up in the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher... but it was always an unanswered "why?" because the game certainly wasn't Xperia PLAY Optimized for any firmware.
Just got a tip from a user on my site that it is, and should be added to my database. As always, I like to test myself before adding anything, but I've tried to install it three times to get to a situation where it FC's every time I get past the intro video.
Can anyone confirm if RR2's updates made it work with Xperia PLAY controls?

I have been playing this game off and on for some time and unless its been updated and I have not updated it it has worked with the game controls for me. In my opinion I would say its definately optimized...
Oh and TL.... glad you like Iruna.

There was pad support in 1 version but an old one. Have been trying to track it down for ages. The newer versions come up in launcher but none of the controls work. If anyone finds which version please let me know

Hmm... having trouble finding that version. I found a lot of Reckless Racing v1.0.2, but Real Racing 2's version numbering scheme makes it hard to pinpoint that one. Mind sharing your apk for Real Racing 2? Since it's a free-to-try game, I'm gonna try to make it real easy and convenient for everyone by making what would link to the market on my site send them straight to the confirmed working APK.

want to know about this as well, loved the game, but i hate using touch controls or moving my phone all over the place...
would love to grab it if its working with the play now

This is happening to me as well. It shows up in the Launcher but it is not optimized which is weird.

You know what, I must apologize, it is reckless racing 2.. My apologies. Thats what I get for replying to this stuff while at work....

I so want to play this game with the gamepad. Any idea if we can get the devolopers to make it optimized for the Xperia Play ?

Are you guys @ jgregoryj1, TLRtheory talking about the paid version or the free version? Because the free version is not optimized. Plays just like it does on my ipod lol.

I was playing this a few weeks ago on my skiing trip and I can confirm it is Xperia Play Optimised. I was using the left and right directional buttons to steer my car and I was using the L button to brake just like on the first game.
Edit: I have the paid version and have never tired the free version.

Can you please post your version number. Ps it's the same version free-paid as only an in app purchase. Thankyou

I just reinstalled the app and its version 1.0.2
On the what's new bit when viewing on the play shop it says "fixed Xperia play controls". I bought this app from the play shop a while ago.
The buttons only work when racing though as the menus are made for the touch screen.

they are still begging for gamepad support.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light relased finally! [UPDATE 30.07.2012]

With Xperia Play support of course. It was long time no news, but now we get BOOM and it's here!

UPDATE (sorry for long waiting, I was in holiday-house): 29.07.2012 - for now this game dissapeared without any information from Square Enix.....I don't know why, so Moderator - please close this thread for now, maybe something will change, but it's preety strange that the exclusive game, working good etc., one moment and it's gone.
UPDATE 30.07.2012: And what next? After one day of last update there is again! The game appeared again on Play Store, get it before Square Enix delete it again without any info . Current version is 1.2.284922 (we don't know what changed while it was deleted from store without voice) and you can get it here -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.squareenix.laracroft . Thanks for jgregoryj1 for info!

Godamn this looks so beautiful. Nice find man. :beer:
Sent from stolen R800i using Potato.

Yeah we heard this was still coming and found it on store few hours ago. Does not play bad for £0.99 full Touch pad support but could be better looking. This game was to be released last year so understand its not up to date quality. Still Tomb Raider of sorts on Android so cant be a bad thing

I'm having trouble downloading this. Went really well up to 28% and now it's stuck and won't go any further.
Anybody having a problem ?

Looks like Square is finally going all-in with Android. God, I can already see me playing Chrono Trigger in all its remastered glory on the XP!

Any good?

Sent from my R800x using xda premium

Awesome find! I just started playing it and finished the first level and it seems like a really solid game (never played it on iOS or 360 since I hate both mediums), my only complaint would be a pretty slow frame-rate (maybe its running at 30? Or a little bit lower) but the frame-rate is consistent and I got used to it very quickly. Also, when pressing X to skip a tip screen or tutorial bit my character jumped which was irritating but now I just press the screen to end a tip.

This game is exclusive for Sony Xperia devices !
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/product...e-guardian-of-lights-exclusive-xperia-launch/
Who said the Xperia PLAY was dead ?

I got it as well, Pretty good, had a couple hiccups while playing but nothing too bad. Graphics are ok, but I've seen much better on this device. Videos work find for me, and you really can't beat the price at only $1.29! Overall I'd say its a definite buy!

Glad I didn't buy it in the Steam summer sale! Loved the PS3 version, can't wait to try it on my phone!
