Modern Combat 3 update seems to improve controls! - Xperia Play Themes and Apps

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.

Not played it yet but Modern Combat 2 :Black Pegasus is only £1 on gameloft's site at the moment (well lots of HD games) not sure if its a world wide sale and only shows up if browsing from device not computer
worth a try with £3.25 off!
sweet thanks for the heads up. Do you think we will be able to use the controls like the stock games use. I would really like to use the dpads and physicall buttons instead of on the screen

I have brothers in arms, modern combat, and N.O.V.A.2.
Nova2 is by far the best of the 3. the aiming with the right analog stickis a lot smoother, which takes a lot of the frustration out of the experience.

Yeq,but its been cracked / modded for other phones , its illegal to download it I believe and yea it won't be play optimised until they officially release it onto the market or onto the play , currently only available for the lg nitro HD
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
It's a 3 month exclusive to LG, so not long now, and it's not optimised as it stands, it still runs like **** on the phones it's supposed to work on.
It will also benefit with buttons to play with, not crappy touch screen gaming, so roll on the Play version.
not optimized
i have downloaded it and installed on my play,, and yes, it is not optimized.

Tried this game and dont think much of the android version buggy and too big sd file.
I would rather play the onlive version which is millon times better and has online vs instead of just bluetooth.
Or if have no internet accses would rather use tiger mame and run streetfighter alpha3 or streetfighter the third.
Is the game better than the 3ds game?

It can't be, the 3ds version is gold.(especially if you turn off 3d in the menu. Its smoother than butter)

The 3DS version is a 100% port of the arcade/console release. Graphics pretty much identical and 100% of the content and characters available and even more added.
The phone version is quite literally bollocks in comparison.

Why would they give a touch pad phone exclusivity for so long... You need control pads to play street fighter... There is no way anyone can enjoy it on touchpad.

I've got the same issue and just after restoring my phone, and using the stock version of xperia play .69, and rooted, did you find out how to fix it please help if you know the solution as it works on my nexus 7, but not on the xperia play, im thinking it may be a ram, and processor issue, is it possible the game is too powerful for the xperia play.

Six-Guns from Gameloft

Came across Six-Guns on Google Play. Downloaded it and discovered it's completely Play optimised. I've only had a quick play but it seems like a pretty decent Red Dead Redemption clone.
It's free but unfortunately seems to be a pay2win type game
Thank you kindly

Only problem is that the right touchpad seems to trigger rolling and shooting at random times... that could get to be a real problem.

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.

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.

The buttons only work when racing though as the menus are made for the touch screen.

Really? It bugged the **** out of me to be honest. The touch pad controls were way too jumpy to get a good shot off and I've only been able to play with auto-aim enabled (not why I bought a gaming phone)
Nova 3 also had abysmal touch pad control and required auto-aim IMO whereas Nova 2 got it perfect (as perfect as touch pad will ever be for me, I favor analog style).
Really? It bugged the **** out of me to be honest. The touch pad controls were way too jumpy to get a good shot off and I've only been able to play with auto-aim enabled (not why I bought a gaming phone).
I must add I've never expected XP's touchpads to be a substitute for real joysticks... IMO they work just OK in some games, and very poorly in other games.
I can live with that, but there is other thing that bugs me.. maybe it's for another thread but... I find Max Payne a shockingly disappointing game. I'm just at the beginning but...it's the whole game like this? Move from room to room, shoot some bad guys, advance the story a little bit, move to another room. Gosh this is boring. I will admit this is my first experience ever with the franchise so I did not know what exactly to expect. Bought it basically on hype and because it's made by R*, who made my beloved GTA 3.
Also how long is it? I'm not sure I won't be bored to tears mid-way although with these kinds of games (kinda movie-like experiences) I usually try to persevere and finish them. Sorry for derailing the thread.
Oh its completely about the story, the gameplay doesn't hold up particularly well and the concept of the game has been expanded upon so much over the years that its almost not worth a retread unless you are compelled to for nostalgia's sake. Max Payne 2 is actually a pretty great game even by today's standards but the first game feels very very old.

Ugh... thanks for that. Guess I still got 9mm with better graphics, better controls and online play... so I don't really have to be disappointed.
...at any rate, Gangstar Rio is actually kinda dope! Same for Virtua Tennis. I really want NOVA 3, but I'm debating whether I wanna put up with any more of Gameloft hogging space off our phones as "data".
I bought NOVA without realising it takes up 17mb data. I cant even play these games really now. I think I'm gonna go ahead and root one day

Using ZergRush method, it will either work and root, or won't. In doing so, data, contacts and anything else won't be affected either way.
Root gives you the power to knacker your phone but if you're not an idiot and don't go deleting important system processes, you're safe.
