Sonic 4 Episode I arrives on market!

Hey so I just seen on this market pretty bad compatibility for a lot of devices it seems, the data download is choppy and the audio is reportedly out of sync for SOME devices other devices just find the game to laggy.
Having tried it myself i find it very choppy Xperia Play controls work fine for me, although other users are reporting problems, this could be down to bad downloads/ custom roms.
Not to mention it's like over a year late, guess its in preparation for episode II

no one waste there money on this its so slow!

You are better off buying sonic CD, its much longer and its much more fun. Sonic 4 just plain sucks.

It's working smoothly for me with xperia play controls... Stock rom with root and some system apps uninstalled, and supercharged and i have chainfire installed....
Edit-Played through first level with only one lag spike which didn't really affect me since it was so small... Touchpaxz do not work but the d-pad does and I can't see why you would want the Touchpaxz to work so I'd say buy the game... No idea what's wrong with your version... Maybe try deleting and re downloading the sd data....

Working fine for me too, Sonic CD runs better but I guess if I change my v6 settings it will run a little better.
PS. I played through first level with next to no lag, a slight bit of slow down in places but bearly noticeable.

Blocked from the market for me. It's saying incompatible with my device.
EDIT: Went ahead and *forced* it anyway... and now I'm wondering why in the hell they blocked Xperia PLAY users from seeing this. It's working perfectly with Xperia PLAY's physical gamepad and I can't quite complain about the performance either.
GAMEPLAY VIDEO:
While Sonic CD was a much bigger deal, this is kind of a big deal for me too... you guys don't know how much I bugged Sega about putting this on PSP (while most games just suck on touch-screens, platformers got the shorter end of the stick by far) and this kinda makes up for it.

Got enough games on your phone?

I downloaded it fine through the market, may just be blocking specific models

gonna download and have a look myself, got it on my PS3 and love sonic games!! lets see what its like on my mobile

Can confirm that it works fine on the Play controls.

I just bought Sonic 4 on my old Droid x and then tried the apk on my Xperia PLAY and I can tell you right now that the controls most certanly work. The menus are all touch but the game itsef supports the controls, not the touchpads but the directional pad works great.

I've been playing it a bit now, and must admit I did find a few bits of lag going on :-( but all the controls work find, and tilting on certain bits is loads of fun!!
I'm not overclocking so maybe if I pop SetCPU up to 1.4 or 1.6 it may stop the lag.

Same here
Being a long-time console/pc gamer, $60 for a game is normal. As a result, I buy these $5 and less apps like candy

Triangle is supersonic, so it seems all ingame buttons were made for the play. and its not just a carryover from dpad+enter button config.

That is interesting... that means Sega was actively working on making this compatible with the Xperia PLAY this whole time.
...that brings me back to why the hell they'd make this any less than fully available day 1. It's not like they couldn't expect us to figure them out.

Dead Space hardware controls not working

I picked up Dead Space from the Android Market recently on my Play, and the hardware controls don't seem to respond at all. Does it matter if I pick up the game from the android market or from the xperia play launcher?
15 minutes went by before I had the game loaded up. EA doesn't respond to my emails. Feels bad man. I haven't been able to find anything on Google about this issue, I'll keep searching though.

You on cm7?

Market versions of EA/Gameloft games don't work on Xperia PLAY. If there's ever exceptions, they're flukes.
Sad to say, this is just how it is and it's been that way for a while.

So wait, where did all the people in youtube get their .apks then?
EDIT: nevermind.

i bought it yesterday fo 49pence thinking it was for the play, off the market giveaway prices, guess that was a fluke, i also use it on my tf101, what an awesome game, and real pity not optimized for our play.

The EA free version works (1.1.33), the Play Store version (1.1.38) doesn't works in our phone.

This is a absolute disgrace by EA iv sent emails with my purchase and no response! I sent a email from my iPhone and guess what they answered straight away fuming I am !! Still no fix :-(
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk

any way to grab a .33 version of the apk...i did purchase it, should ea let me pick my version that works...stupid ea

Its absolutely ridiculous that they cant just make the market versions compatible, but instead make us jump through these stupid hoops to get the correct version for our phone.......sigh.......

It's idiotic that EA, or any other dev, doesn't just update all their games with the Xperia Play in mind and just have the code check for it. Especially since I didn't get a chance to really test out the game until after the 15 min window was up.

well for what its worth i sent in a support ticket about dead space two and the correct versions...
also sent gameloft a ticket about NOVA 2 and the lack of support unless i go through them, even though its not stated in android market...even on gamelofts site it shows the xperia play and nova 2 on it..
humm...stupid companies

Only 1.1.33 works on Xperia Play. I solve mine by download 1.1.33 apk and get the SD of 1.1.38... but what's the different between 1.1.33 and 1.3.38? Didn't understand EA.....

Will Real Racing 2 get xperia play optimized ? Or are EA just too stubborn to do that?

Help!
Even though I downloaded Dead Space from the Flexion store, it won't recognize the Xperia Play gamepad and touchpads and the only option it gives me for playing the game is with the touchpad controls. I checked and it is v1.1.33. I also wanted to download Battlefield: Bad Company 2. But it says it isn't compatible with my device. Is the problem that it doesn't recognize my device as an Xperia Play? I really want to play both these games so badly.

and the dead space version 1.1.40?

Mass Effect - Infiltrator out now. Somebody know about Play controls support?[UPDATE]

So yeah guys, it's available on Google Play, and I thinking about buying, but I don't know if this support our hardware touchjoys....Anyone want to try and reply back?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ea.games.meinfiltrator_row
Thanks in advance .
[UPDATE]: Unfortunelly, for now, version 1.0.30 from Google Play does NOT have Xperia Play gamepad support. Maybe we need wait for EA Flexion Store version, still no correct info about it. But without it - I tested already - and I can say it's very good stuff - good optimalisation (it's EA, not Gameloft ), nice controls and good graphics. Storyline should be good too (it's Mass Effect, yep? ), but can't tell after 10minutes of gameplay. Bye guys! ^^

Nice.. it looks similar to Dead Space. Hope it has gamepad support!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vICzsa6XvE

just sore this FU*Cking hope it has dead space controls. Downloading it now but my net is sh*t.

On Google Play it show that R800i/Play has support for this game, hope full (with gamepad), not only hardware (1GHz + Adreno 205).

i just downloaded the game, and it doesn't appear in the XPLAY launcher. hopefully its still fun with touch controls

Wtf not available in my country :banghead:

I'd imagine it'd be like all other EA Games, where the Xperia Play Optimized version is only sold on the EA Flexion store.

Tested - Google Play version does NOT have working Xperia Play gamepad. I will update first post and name of thread. Sorry guys. Maybe we should really wait for EA Flexion Store version, like TLRtheory said.

I got it also no play controls in USA either I got refund. Ill wait for play optimized

Hmm I'd also like to see a good sixaxis controller map, its going to take forever to map this one hah

I've just watched the trailer and the interview with one of the developers on YouTube.
This game looks epic! The deadspace engine has come a long way and if they port the deadspace xperia play controls over to this game we are surely looking at a five star futuristic deus ex (voice actor from first deus ex game is in this) come mass effect single player badass of a game.
I cant wait for it to be "xperia play optimised".
This is type of calibre of gaming that the Xperia Play owner should be experiancing daily!

4,5 stars for EA

Has anyone checked to see if the GameKeyboard App that allows you to pair the touch screen with the XP's gamepad (dpad, X, O, square, triangle keys) will work with MEI?
Looking your way TLRtheory as you reviewed this multiple times.
Have you tried it out yet?

Nice graphics for Xperia Play
So I change to 1.2 GHZ and runs perfect

I bought it and tried on my xperia play and my toshiba thrive, the controls are cool but seem easier on my tablet. I don't really see a way to convert them fluidly to our controller tho.

Dynamite Jack - Optimised (Mostly)

Hi guys,
Haven't posted in a while and just thought I'd let you know that Dynamite Jack works with the Play's hardware. The D-Pad works from the off but you you have to configure the buttons to use your flashlight, bombs and mini-map. This is easily done by going into the 'Settings' parameter and selecting the 'Keys' tab were you can make the changes. During navigation you can use the D-pad to scroll but still need to touch to select but in-game you have complete control! Just switch the control option to 'Line-Drawing' (again in 'Settings' under the 'Controls' tab) to free the screen of buttons and you're off!
Oh and the game is part of the latest Humble Bundle. Have fun!

Im enjoying this game too, reminds me of Red Faction with the destructible environments and the oppressed miners story.

Thanks for the link poo-tang. I used your link and gave $10.... got all the games in an email (well a link to download all the games)..... downloading them now.
I did notice that Dungeon Defenders + all DLC was lsited, which I did get in the bundle. But whats odd is why would this be in there is Trendy announced about a month ago that they were not going to bring the Dungeon Defenders back... was that just to the Google PLAY store only or to android as a whole I dont know.

best deal ever
I paid 2 bucks and got 4 games that i can install on both my phone and my tablet..plus the give you a really cool android app. tdynamite jack is amazing on play..full control set up and the performs well almost like a pc game plus wonderful sound track. O and make sure you select no on screen controls to really add to the game.

I think that was Dungeon Defenders Second Wave. poo-tang has shared that apk with xda members in another thread since the developers are never going to bring back that game.

The market says no for Play and SP but yes for U

It's INCOMPATIBLE with Xperia Play.
LOL at all those enthusiastic people who thought this would run on XP.

All is lost. Goodbye world... waaaaaaa!
EDIT: If they left out the Xperia PLAY due to its ancient hardware, what's the point of making it Gingerbread-compatible altogether? I think it's safe to assume that devices stuck on GB up to today are weaker or at par with the Xperia PLAY. So what's the point Rockstar?

well i think its time to change android...

We have a new PS3/X-Box 360 game just ported to the Xperia Play today -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576702
Its Rockstar and the 3rd party dev (War drum studios) that ported it that is the issue here. If they had any care in the world for Android (IOS Fanboys) this game would have been made better and for more devices. Take alook at the market listing, it seams it does not work on any device even if they are modern at the momment.

It's getting one star reviews because it's crashing for some people. They've already patched it once today but it needs another. It's going to be the best game ever once they get passed this latest issue.

The Google Play version lists Android 3.0 as the minimum requirement but the Amazon listing says Android 2.3 which is most likely due to it needing to be compatible with the kindle fire. I wonder if the Amazon version will work if they make it available to devices outside the kindle fire, it doesn't look like it's going to have a kindle specific version.

Any body know if its xperia play optimized?

I installed it on my own 4.1.b.13 and that xperia z rom i ported 2 days ago
On both of them i have problems with gamepad and touchpads so i cant say anything about xpo optimization
But the game is not working well on it
It will be closed when you go home and when you wana play a massion and ...
But the game itself is as fast as gta vice city
I think the problem is related to ram
Can swap partition work exacly as ram?
Because even angry bird go needs more ram (1gb)
I will try swap soon too

I enabled 256mg swap on my sd card then played gta san andreas with my 4.1.b.13
Everything worked fine
Only sometimes i have bad lags but i dont have closed game anymore
As i said before i cant test xpo optimization due to not working touchpads and gamepad in my rom

i think XP needs a good 4.0+ rom
