Not to sound like a butt, but I have always thoughts of ZTE phones as bargain basement junk, then again it doesnt mean a company cant turn itself around quality wise. I will keep an eye out to see what ZTE has coming out in 6 days for the "gaming phone"..... thanks for sharing

My first Android was a ZTE(ZTE Blade) Bargain basement sure, but surprisingly good, I wouldn't call it junk, I only got rid of it because I got an upgrade and the screen was a bit too narrow

Same info just expanded.

humm I think I wont risk to buy anymore gaming phones. Bought the Ngage and it sucked, bought the Xperia Play, well it didnt suck but still not what I was thinking it will be... I'll probably buy the OUYA, a gaming console with android
OUYA Specs:
•Tegra3 quad-core processor
•1GB RAM
•8GB of internal flash storage
•HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
•WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
•Bluetooth LE 4.0
•USB 2.0 (one)
•Wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button), a touchpad
•Android 4.0
OUYA Price: $99 (yeah!!!)

Actually, I'm really looking forward into this. I always hoped that XPlay would be so popular that it would start a "gaming smartphone competition" between other manufacturers (imagining gaming phones from Samsung or HTC).
If ZTE attracts more popularity with its future gaming phones, let's hope others will start producing same type of phones as well in the future (as Sony said they aren't planning on doing an XPlay 2).

I´m interested in this device. However, i´m sceptical if ZTE does it right. Here in Germany, they only released Low-Budget Smartphones and Tablets with Singlecore. Of course they also announced powerful phones with Tegra 3 but they didn´t say anything about a western release date.
So, i will wait till the next week. If ZTE has something good in the works and they release it in the western market, i will consider it the next time when i buy a new smartphone.:good:

look amazing !!!! i'll buy that
dam sony , i wish sony hear us and make next generation of gameing phone , quad core , regra 3 ...
sony , sony , sony , why never hear our request

I don't want an gaming smartphoone i want an gaming smartphone from sony i just love the idea of playstation phone

wonder if sony has a patent for the xperia play that says only they can have a phone with these buttons or something
Could anyone (ZTE for example here) just come along and make a better phone (processor/GPU/RAM wise) and use the same button scheme? When you think about it, there really isn't anything special about the Play. It's basically a regular Android phone but it just has extra buttons.

@typikal82
Maybe when they participate in the Playstation Certified Program, they can use the official Playstation button layout. Would be awesome if something like that happens!
Don´t know if more companies are interested in making a gaming smartphone since the Xperia Play didn´t sell well.

What's the point? Any tablet or smartphone with hdmi connection and with psx controller it's an android gaming console.
Just another piece of metal with limited functionality.
One device that rules the all others. That's the future.

I think AT MOST, SONY have patent to using the 4 logos on the buttons. There's nothing stopping other companies from using "1,2,3,4", or "A,B,X,Y" or any other button-labeling schemes, and then physically locate the buttons in the same places and allow software mapping to "emulate Xperia PLAY mode".
HOWEVER!! A gaming phone from ZTE will never have as much appeal as Sony, to attract the average game devs to write games for. And most certainly, ZTE don't have a heavy-weight brand like "Playstation" to even start talking to Top-budget game publishers/studios.
But in the end... where the hell is SONY when all this is happening!? Bloody hell, Sony, wake up!

ZTE can use 6 main button (( for example A,B,C,X,Y,Z )) with L,R ,start ,sllect

ok... tell me where can I get a tablet with those specs and a game controller with free to play games for that price.

Wait. What does this have to do with the play? Oh nothing. Yeah, figures. Another useless thread clogging THE WRONG FORUMS.

Maybe because it's about a possible new gaming phone, y'know, like the Play. It could rival the Play if it's true and has good specs, especially since a lot of of people (myself not included) want a Play 2. So it's pretty relevant for us Play owners
Sent from my Xperia Play. U jelly?

I'm interested, but halfway expecting that it'll fall into the pile of barely supported physical controller add-ons that, at best, work with 20% of Xperia Play's games.

But you would need a phone still for day to day, so would it not even out. Plus can't take the console out with you on the move.

Could be great. If it does what the play does and more (and works with all games optimised for the play), I'd be happy. Ive been thinking about my next device (although I'm gonna be sticking with the play for a while) and I'm not too sure cause ive only recently started playing FIFA on my play and love it. Touchscreen gaming is inferior, especially for FIFA as ive figured when trying to play with my tablet. This could be my next phone.....

Modern Combat 4 - Xperia Play Optimized - officially relased

So guys, first, there is a pre-official video by Gameloft, showed on Tokyo Game Show. Don't scream about poor quality, just look it:
-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq9ta4UA-5M&feature=player_embedded
Next....It's coming this fall, so it's quite soon . BUT...Yeah, always "but" with corporations like Gameloft - in my opinion it will hit first on iOS (even if Gameloft planning to make their games available in the same time for iOS and Android), and we must wait longer, like nearly always.
And the second one....Hmmm....Maybe graphics is not so "WOOOOW!!! BATTLEFIELD 3 WITH ULTRA SETTINGS ON MY SMARTPHONE!" D), but I'm thinking if Gameloft will optimize it for Xperia Play. My opinion depends on their upcoming Wild Blood (relased some weeks ago on iOS) - if they optimize it for Play, then I'm 100% sure MC4 will be too. Sooo....We can just wait till official info appears, and game too .
PS: I always wanted BackStab 2 and promised Silent Ops (which will never appear I think), and the oldest one (not promised though) - Prince Of Persia Warrior Within (which will never appear too).
[UPDATE]: Official exclusive video appeared on G4TV. Check it out! It's high quality and contains more gameplay than before leaked from TGS video -> http://www.g4tv.com/videos/60929/modern-combat-4-x-play-trailer-exclusive/?quality=hd#video-60930
Also:
After watching new trailer I'm sure it will be kickass, like all MC was . Waiting for relase and hope for our hardcore gamers too!
[UPDATE]: Official screenshots with better quality:
Nice one - I think it had improved shadows and render compared to MC3. Except that - preety similar. Hope they won't forget about Xperia Play, maybe with not all effects on, but just medium, and with awesome controls like Dead Trigger by Madfinger or GL's NOVA 3 . Fingers crossed - we're waiting for more info!
[UPDATE]: Game leaked! It's not official in Google Play, but in my opinion there won't be any big changes, at least not for our Xperia Play gamers, cause it is fully optimized and smoothy working! Do you remember what did I tell you before relase/leak?
[UPDATE]: Game relased on Google Play, and can be found here -> C'MON!. Some guys reported, that is better than leak (I mean better performance etc.), so mission complete - we can play awesome FPS on our Plays with official support!
[UPDATE]: Fresh info - official version is great, but only for first time. Then, after you open the game again, it lags a little, and, what is very strange, when you use Play gamepad, it has microlags, if playing on-screen buttons - little lags gone. Reason? Bug in .apk - Gameloft messed something with the build (and you know that they support is not the best, so update can appear never). Fix? When you open the game make sure you have opened gamepad already and turned Wi-Fi on. Then game starts like always, but lags won't be there with open gamepad. Preety simple, huh? . Hope my suggestion help all future MC4 players .

I'm done with my Xperia Play with mobile games. Only using it for emulators until I get an S3/next Nexus. Switching to my iPad and Vita for gaming from now on.

I would love for MC4 to come out for the Xplay, but I hope they add customizable touchpad controls, like in ShadowGun, whether you would use the Joystick or SlidePad control. In MC3,nits preset to the joystick control, which I hate.
R800i. 'Nuff said.

Sooo....Update ^^.

Please be optimized....
No lag....
Good controls...
If the 3 above are available...
THIS WILL KICK ASS!!!

It's impossible, now the xperia play has no chance in gaming against other smartphones. Every game now needs a dual core and 1 gb ram. I'm gonna definitively change my xperia when possible.

Sadly, we're talking about Gameloft here, so I'm sure it'll be buggy and laggy, like a lot of their previous titles.

But look that all MC's were very good in optimize and performance. Maybe other games not, but their one of the best series like MC is, in my opinion made very good like for Gameloft.

I strongly disagree. MC3 was unplayable for me, with constant freezing of controls. As for MC1 and/or MC2, the latest updates completely broke the controls, making it impossible to aim correctly. And the MC series aren't the only ones with bugs.

So we had different feelings - but it's doesn't matter - maybe it depends on ROM and version of MC too - the newest doesn't mean the best so...Maybe that's it.

Possibly, but I've tried everything, from stock to custom ROMs, Chainfire3D, overclocking, etc.

The best tweaks I've found for running Modern Combat right... are to have no tweaks.
Seriously, I went through a whole big phase of tweaks... and all I got was a bunch of unstable beta nonsense with all kinds of "upgrades" that sacrificed things that previously worked. Went back to stock 2.3.4, debloated and everything's just... great.

I've originally been playing on an stock ROM without any mods at all, and had the problem, so tried to fix it by tweaking my device. With poor results :/

Chrono Trigger is out on the Play store!!!

It's finally here! It took almost a year but the best game of all time it's finally available on Android! Those of you who already have CT on your emulators are probably wondering why you should get this. Well, THIS IS NOT THE SNES VERSION it has all the extra dungeons and re-hauled menu from the DS version.
For those who haven't played it yet and are on the fence due to the price: this is not excitement speaking, this IS the best game of all time. So do yourself a favor and play it. $10 for over 15 hours of gametime plus great replayability is a good deal in my books.

A lil bit too expensive for a student like me.

To be honest, this is Square Enix we're talking about. I doubt we'll see a sale anytime soon. I cannot recommend this game enough for you guys. Maybe watch some gameplay videos before you decide.

Is it xperia play optimized?
Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.

Probably you are right, the price wouldn't go down for a little (long?) time, but probably I would buy it because I've liked dragon Quest and I haven't played chrono trigger only because it isn't in italian (yep, I probably can play the game in English, but in italian it is easier for me) and the ios/android version is the only one officially translated

Is this version better than emulating the original Chrono Trigger from PS1 via FPSE?

The original Chrono Trigger is on SNES not PS1! If it is not xperia play optimalised it is not worth buy. Better - buy CT on PS1 and play it using fpse or epsxe. For me (and for many People of the world) is the best jrpg of all time.

Ditto.

It would be worth the £10 if it was optimized for the play, the IOS version was slated so i'm not sure how good this one is going to be. Just emulate the SNES rom

I'd probably try it(at least it came out) but unless buttons are fixed or I get the custom button mapper working(no root) I'll probably stick to the ps1 port via psxperia. I've been reading reviews and apparently, the game doesn't fully download to full game to your phone and requires updates now and then; I guess that is to deter illegal downloading? Also if I do decided to get my phone rooted in the future, does it allow rooted phones to play or has that been blocked too as that seem to be the trend?

After playing it for 2 hours I can confirm that it works on rooted phones. Touchscreen controls are easy to get used to, not a big deal. However, the game does download files from time to time and therefore requires a constant connection to wifi or 3g. ****ty move from Square Enix but I'm not surprised.
If you are passing this one to play the emulated PS1 version, at least do it right and play the SNES one instead. The loading times for battles and menus are atrocious on the PS1 version.

Not to mention you save 500mb on sd just for slightly better music. Snes = 5mb, PSX = approx 500MB
Always thought snes was one of the best choices for emulating on Xperia play as there is no fiddling buttons around (e.g. L2,R2) it's a perfect match to our pad. Also check out SuperGNES has a great UI with cover art.

Well, okay okay, SNesoid it is! The PS1 version did not got any advantages besides the music? I played the Nintendo DS version and there were animated cutscenes in manga style...

On ps1 version there are cutscenes in anime style. But nothing special. Music is same as on snes. DS version has additional quest (as I remember).

Just dropped by to say that I finally beat my replay of this wonderful game. For those who decided to emulate you definitely missed out. The new dungeons are a very nice addition, didn't get the new ending though. Worth every damn penny.

Eh, without the XP gamepad being usable, it sounds like I'm better off sticking with my existing copy of the DS version .
Curious, has anyone tried to run the game without an active connection to either wifi or a cellular network? I'm also not a fan of apps that regularly download in the background, especially if there's the potential for it to need to do this with large files.

I remember the game downloading stuff only at 3 points: when you enter the map on 600 AD for the first time, somewhere in 2300 AD, and after entering the bridge for the 1st time in 600 AD. After that I would just start the game, hit the home button, turn off wifi/data, and keep playing without a problem. I cleared it that way without an issue.

So I upgraded from Play to Xperia P ... and am rather disappointed [games related]

So I recently upgraded from Xperia Play to Sony Xperia "P".
I must say I am rather disappointed as far as games are concerned. This is NOT about physical buttons, I knew what I was getting, and besides I mostly play games that can be easily controlled with touch controls.
Many of my games appear as incompatible (Six-Guns, Juggernaut, Lara Croft, MOST of new Glu games - Death Dome, Dragon Slayer etc.. - I sent an email to Glu about this), also GTA 3 has graphical problems it usually gets stuck when a cut-scene is going on...weird, is this normal?
I believe there are knowledgeable people here as far as GPUs and such are concerned, can anybody tell me what is the problem here?
I wonder if Xperia P's graphical unit is less powerful than Xperia Play's... but how could that be it's a newer model....
Another disappointment - the phone immediately offered me an update to Android 4.0.4. I did the update and now it seems like there is a noticeable lag when moving between screens... The Gingerbread was smoother.
I would really appreciate your thoughts/advice on this, guys.
Did I make a stupid thing to choose another Xperia phone to upgrade or should I have chosen a more powerful phone....

No offense at ALL, but your pretty stupid to by a sony phone. They all suck. Except xperia play and thats only because of the gamepad.
I would rather go with a samsung, htc or a nexus instead of the new sony xperia range.

They all suck?
WTF kind of argument is that? That's something a 10 year old would say, sorry.
What I like about this phone is the reasonable price, good camera, design...
Now tell me why should I choose a HTC which is twice that price, at least where I live?

He is right though Sony phones do suck

YNWA!

Not all of them suck, at least. There are a fair few that hav awesome feature. But its a bit weird how choose to buy ur phone. What are your reason in buying such a phone if want to game?? Thats not what the phone are made for. Un-like Play, the gamepad/touchpad "clearly" state what the phone are made for. So...
Mind sharing how exactly u choose your phone & what u use the phone for??

No point discussing this, before buying you MUST be knowing what Xperia P will offer you
sent from the "BE"a"ST" Galaxy S3

Any other reason than price that you chose the Xperia P over the Xperia S?

Should have stuck with your Xperia PLAY :laugh:

I am now embarrassed I asked this question HERE.
It's called XDA DEVELOPERS so I thought, hey, maybe some knowledgeable people will respond and explain why some games that worked on Xperia Play seem not to work on Xperia P. I expected some expert advice on GPU capabilities and such. Instead I got a bunch of pubescent idiots laughing at my choice. Serves me right.

It down to the develpers. When we got our S,P,U and now T half the games on Android did not work with the device's. So its not down to specs, its just game developers have not been able to test on them or dont allow support just in case. The P users a Nova daul core and at the moment many developers have not been able to test much on this (Same as U) even on our T (S4 daul core snap) we can hardly play any game at the moment (E.G NFS MW crashes at title) Its only a matter of time so dont be put off by these comments.
PS to all Sony haters, Sony brought you the Xperia Play and many of the devices that they have made this year S**T on most other device's by other developers so don't be to quick to judge. P (Not the top of the range) White Magic, Daul core, Looks great, Small (compared to other 2012 device's), Sonys camara tec, Sonys music history need i go on?

If I were you I would sell Xperia P and get Nexus 4 + Sixaxis Controller
Same price + more powerful hardwarely and smoother softwarely + full
And yes Xperia P's GPU is weak even Tample Run lags in that phone.

It bcoz u upgrade to 4.0 and most of the game are not compatible on ics, my frnd own s2 and when he upgrade to ics most of his game become laggy and not compatible,i think ics version is not design for gaming

Your right ICS was a F**k up by Google. Why do you think JB is 4.1? All it is is a correction (Use's less Ram) Meaning better gaming and multitasking. Our daul Core Xperia S 1.5ghz lags with ICS and our T (S4) struggles but hide's it better.

I am now embarrassed I asked this question HERE.
It's called XDA DEVELOPERS so I thought, hey, maybe some knowledgeable people will respond and explain why some games that worked on Xperia Play seem not to work on Xperia P. I expected some expert advice on GPU capabilities and such. Instead I got a bunch of pubescent idiots laughing at my choice. Serves me right.

Nexus 4 has no micro SD slot which is the deal buster for me or I would of got one 16gb isn't enough space IMO my music takes up 12gb itself
Xperia-Play
NXT 1.3 LE
YNWA!

I think its easier to ask what u wanna ask at the "Xperia P,U," Forum instead of here. So dont blame us if we didn't answer what u were asking. Every1 that come here "always" been told to ask Q at the right section. So use search box, find ur phone & ask ur Q at ur phone forum Q&A section. I know they'll be happy to answer any of ur Q & confusion bout ur phone.

Its has a lot to do with the developers allowing device compatibility in regions too I think.
For example, here in the UK I get a lot of games appearing as 'incompatible with your R800i' and even changing the model to R800x it still shows as incompatible.
This happens with me on various games, worst of all being Fifa 12, which was initially released on the PLAY!!
More recently, lots of users have been unable to purchase Most Wanted, whereas others have no problem.
I know undisputedguy has been having very imilar problems to me too!

If the Xperia P had a Snapdragon S3 like its big brother the Xperia S I would have gotten it along time ago, But a NovaThor dual core chip is not appealing to me, The Exynos 4 Quad is much more appealing, I'm glad I got my Galaxy S3, Most Xperia Play optimized games work on my S3 with my PS3 controller.

because the Xperia P using mail 400 GPU ,and the Xperia Play using adreno 205

First of all, I'd like to say I'm disappointed by the childishness on this thread. This forum is here to help, not to be laughed at. And I do see why you'd upgrade, the dual core CPU, higher-res screen and better camera seem appealing.
I think the reason that some games aren't compatible is that the GPU isn't used a lot, so it would take some work for developers to make it work, which wouldn't be worth it.
The Mali-400MP is on paper faster than the Adreno 205. Maybe you can make the games work with Chainfire3d (if you're willing to root etc.).
When I looked at the specs, I saw that a JB update was planned, so that should sort out the lag problem on your homescreens. In the meantime, you could use a launcher (I really like Nova atm).

Old post
Looks like Square Enix wants to port some mobile RPG's to PlayStation Vita and what easier way but on the PlayStation Mobile store as less to port.
What does this mean for us? Well I will tell you Xperia Play Optimized classic RPG's from the best of the best that's what.
First off is Chaos Rings which releases in Japan in July (If can read Japanese then it's time to make a Japanese PSN account) kinda hope this will be a world release and not just regional, but a start is a start and hope for more for all in the future

I really don't intend to spoil the fun here, but after having tried a few of these Chaos Rings games I can't see the appeal.
I am of the generation that enjoyed FF VIII, IX and X and also Chrono Cross (but not Trigger) and I find this series incredibly dull. Sorry, just my opinion.

Agreed I have all 3 already but the big picture is that Square Enix is on board with PSM. This means we could finally see Final Fantasy 1/2/3(NDS)/4(NDS) and chono optimized and official for our device too

That's nice - for people who live in a select few countries where Playstation Mobile is available. Where I live - plus I believe many other European countries - Sony just can't be bothered to introduce this service. Well at least we can emulate those games via ePsxe or convert them to PSXPeria.

It's out with controller support for all region's

No one will buy this? are you spoiled for choice on your 2 year+ old device? To me its great news that big games are coming to PSM as this will be the only way to get optimized games for Xperia Play in the future. Developers on Google Play will drop all 2.3 support soon with newer titles, as a small percent of people are still running old Android devices and its extra coding that can be avoided. With PSM Xperia Play optimization is included to all controller supported games as its native code in the PSM SDK so we will still be included for a while yet.
PS. I own the Google Play version from release day and i will be buying this just to play on my Tablet with Dual Shock 3 so their will be at least 1 person buying it

I am seriously considering buying it again so I can play it properly on the big screen with my OUYA.

What's the matter with my XP? I don't understand...
I bought this game on itunes years ago when its first coming, i love it so much so that i bought this again on google play years later to check if it's XPO,but it's not i was so disappointed. After one more year the XPO is coming...
Seems that you wanna me buy it for third time?
SE published this **** for three times for tricking money by unbelievable fuxking speed, the only difference is the gamepad suported, WTF?
AND it's just the first work, very very old one, if omega and 2nd released may be i will consider it for few seconds cause i havn't own them just on android yet
i think all people who loves this game has bought it years ago or android or ios, very few people get wait it for years just gamepad supported version like you or like me ,very few...
If SE has a little conscience, they won't leave the xpo version to psm till now, and if that so the porting work will be much easier.

Awesome! I only have one question. Is it totally fullscreen or will it be letterboxed?

Well the Google play versions are full screen even on my 1080p Xperia Z. I am pretty sure (98%) this will be full screen too.
I am going buy it but need to wait for payday (will confirm when do). Spent tooooo much on apps this month
Can't wait to play it with touchpads fully working
