My view in Shadowgun

I've never really properly got into an optimized game for our phone and found the touchpads terrible. However I've started to pay shadowgun and it is unreal. I'm hooked on it. Feels like a proper game, as if I'm sitting in front of my xbox and the controls are close to perfect. Really gives me hope for the touchpads and proves that they don't have to be hopeless.
By far the best purchase I've made for my play and there's now an expansion pack for it that I noticed but I haven't played it yet, haven't completed the first story.
Definitely worth buying and restoring your faith in the almighty Play!

I agree. It feels like a your playing a console game on the Xperia Play. I'm loving it

Dead Space and Bad Company 2 also have excellent controls. They're also free

Where can I get bad company 2 from? I can't find it on the market

It's definitely nice, but my faith in the Xperia PLAY never really staggered to begin with.
If you'd played Dead Space, you would've known a loooong time ago that the Xperia PLAY touch-pads are a more-than-competent means of control input (and also got a sneak peek at the standards in which Shadowgun worked up to). Even outside that, there's so many other devs that have used the touch-pads perfectly that it pretty much is just Gameloft being typical Gameloft... Lantansia, Halfbrick, TwoHeads, NaturalMotion, Art in Games, Glu Mobile, Angry Mob Games and so many more have already established that the touch-pads can work extremely well with high quality titles.

shadowgun is good, so is fifa 12.

Dead Space is not working with my hardware controls.
Thanks for the heads up though, might check out this game because of the sale.

I purchased Shadowgun yesterday but the came constantly crashes [kicks me out to the home menu after the video sequence], anyone else have this problem?

I recently wrote an article on just this very subject for XperiaGamer, you can find it here if you're interested:

So, it has swipe analogs ?
I dont realy play games that dont have swipe analogs and this recent sale interests me.

Games

Can you people suggest some good PC type games?
With PC type I mean something better then angry birds and cardgames, more like sims, gta or w/e...
Only no action games... Got Shadowgun and find it difficult to play on phone.

Apparatus i find a very good game to have but it isnt simulation,
Anything from gameloft is pretty good, real racing is a good racing game and i think its free. you can get the sims aswell if your into that

Fifa?
Worms?

Yea im having the same problem as well.
DeadSpace from EA won't download either. Gives me a server error.

"Draw Something" it's so addictive.

Tiny Tower has my attention at the mo

I am also having problems with gameloft games, I have tried shasow guardian, nova and sandstorm and they all start running but after some seconds the exit to the home screen.
I also have the problem about dead space, I have bought it from market, installed it and when I run it, it says that need to download data from the server, and after that, an error 5002 comes. I have contacted the support of EA and they have not been anle to give me a solution, so I am going to get a refund.
I guess this problems are related with compatibility problems with ICS, is so new that the developers haven´t prepared their software yet, I am afraid.
Best regards.

Gameloft and EA games have terrible compatibility.. Backstab, nova 2 and modern combat 3 all are not compatible with my asus transformer and one s, they are only compatible with my desire z, which cannot run those games fluent at all I purchased Real racing 2 but it just gives an error when trying to run on my one s bad, bad support, never buying a gameloft or ea game again
I do enjoy dungeon village from kairosoft, but the game i most frequently play is perhaps super stickman golf, it has so many levels, its fun and its free.

Pretty much all of the games included in the android humble indie bundles are great. I actually play PSX games mostly though. FPSE is an ace PSX emulator. Draw Something's not bad, but I think everyone is bored with it by now. Wheel of Fortune is actually a cool game if you're into social games.

Loving...
Spray The Wall 3D

Deadspace & Modern Combat 3
I was having issues with downloading the needed files to run dead space, but ever since I flashed the Zydroid rom it has allowed me to download the needed files and I get to the ea splash but it returns to the home screen right after. I also have modern combat 3, but the market won't even let me download it. They both worked fine on my G2, don't know whats up with the One s.

What's about FIFA 12? Can you guys get it to run? It lets me download the game from the market and then I download the needed data (first time you launch the app), but after this it won't start and always returns to the app drawer.
I'm running LeeDroid 2.1, can anyone confirm this problem?
Thanks

I've emailed gameloft about modern combat 3 and they gave me a link to an apk that can be installed and works fine. If you have bought a gameloft game from the market which isnt compatible with the HOS I suggest mailing them

Anyone having issues with GTA III? The sound is cracklin'n'popping and the performance just plain sucks

Yea GTA 3 works weird sometimes espicially on cm9/aokp roms

New Gameloft games on E3 - I smell Xperia Play support :)

Of course it's only my opinion but it will be fun playing Spiderman with free world like sandbox, something like playing on PSP . Asphalt 7 looks good, but I think on Galaxy SIII review (on screenshots) looks better. But we all know Gameloft make good graphics games by the way, but the most important is gameplay and how much bugs we'll find in their next titles . I smell Xperia Play touchpad support 100% sure, but I'm thinking about lags - you see that NOVA 3 using worst graphics (we can use Chainfire 3D to optimize it, I wrote on N3 topic few words about it), so for now we need wait. Fingers crossed ^^.

Thanks DikeJ. How is it going on man?

Asphalt 7 looks like a update/patch to Asphalt 6 -_-

jgregoryj1, I feel very good - my hands are better, no more Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. But unfortunely, I need to stop development forever - my doctor said it will back if I won't stop using my hands much. I'm using hands for GYM too, and on other house-works, to need to decrase using, and that's why I will create my last project for X10 (DiXperia 8), and the last one for Play (no official "name" or date, but 100% sure it will be ).
How about You pal? I know it's 100000% offtop, but I want to be polite too .
GetPatriotized, definitely the same feel as me buddy ^^.

Bleah, both those games look horrible.
Spiderman: Aside from good looking models, body collision and dynamics look pathetic.
Asphalt 7: Still the same retarded idea. Good old Real Racing 2 beats it at any time and moment(graphic wise and gameplay)

The amazing spiderman is amazing i think ,explorer in word 3D ,like playstation version

Looks good. Asphalt 7, however, is like a squeaky clean version of Asphalt 6. Reusing maps? Oh god this is BS..

Gameloft, your daily dissapointment!
Still, gonna try out Asph7 and Nova3. Dungeon Hunter 3 on the other hand, a massive letdown.

And two new games again, but now it's freemium stuff/sh*t....
Kingdoms & Lords -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDM5ZEWXrK0&feature=player_embedded
Cosmic Colony -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV195JgWwy4

Asphalt 7 is exactly the same as 6. No improvement. I hate the cars physics as well. It just doesn't have any simulation to it and I know it's supposed to be arcadey but still.
Gameloft's graphics suck as well. Look at madfingergames...
I just hope Real Racing 3 comes out and its Xperia Play optimized.

Sincerely I doubt it. Real Racing 2 has very bad optimization for most androids, ergo it bearly runs on Xperia play and has no control optimizations.
RR 3 will have no ties to the XP

Awww well I just hope a good racing game comes out for the Xperia Play sometime in the future.

The same too - but I'm very dissapointed about forgotten Silent Ops by Gameloft for Android - it will never appear -.- .....

Guys any news regarding release dates of Asphalt 7 or Amazing Spiderman???
Long time back announced title Street Fighter 4 still not available!!!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Spiderman should be out 3rd July, but I don't think Gameloft will relase iOS and Android version at the same time - it's too complicate project - not like Men In Black etc. (which was in the same time, strange..... Gameloft never do this O_O).
Asphalt 7 no words, just "summer time".
And I'm hungry about SF4 but no words for a long time.....
BTW: Some screenshots of all 4 titles by GL here ->

I think A7 and ASM are pre-render effect - 100% it's not gameplay graphic....They should make trailers/gameplays much more pre-render if they want me to believe in that. Maybe it's from New iPad, not from Android devices, at least not from Play xD.

Nova 3 was announced at the end of April, Android release was just a month later. Maybe they are now announcing games when the development is almost finished. So i hope Asphalt 7: Heat will be released next month or so.
Their movie games were always released both on IOS and Android at the same time, look at The Adventures of Tintin. Maybe it´s due to contract reasons that they have to release it at the same time.

Hmmmm....You're right buddy. I noticed that Fast Five was relased at the same time too (Android one day after iOS). But look - it's Gameloft, yeah? Everything is possible . But hope that Spiderman comes when iOS version appear.
And NOVA 3 was relased in correct date - they say May and it was May - iOS first week, Android last days of month .

There was some news about the Unreal Engine 3 game.

Wonder what kind of game it will be. I hope it´s not a casual game like this Men in Black game. Do you think our Play´s will get it?

I'm sure it will .

I highly enjoyed A6 possibly my favorite game on here. That said when I saw that A7 seemed to have the same exact maps and just some new cars I was pretty disappointed. Maybe if they add more of a Split Second type element like they had in Fast 5 where the course would change based on in game events or crashes then it would be cool, but otherwise why would I give them $6 for the same game with a couple new cars.

Final Fantasy III released... with no Xperia Play support.

Final Fantasy III on Google Play Store
I was so excited that I bought it instantly. I already have this on my iOS4 device... but I'm really worn thin of putting up with gaming on that 3:2 dinosaur... putting it on Xperia Play would've made me care less about the PSP remake that would suffer from upscaling on Vita!
...unfortunately, the screen size seems to only consider 800x480 res, and there's no Xperia Play controls. How much 'ya think we'd have to bug them to get physical control support? You'd think touch would be okay for RPGs, yet we have Eternal Legacy feeling 5x better with physical controls, and I really don't feel like stepping down from that.

Are they sh!tting me!!! $16 bucks for it! If it had xperia play support I would possibly consider it, but touchscreen only at that price.... screw it...

fvck up with that game ,very expensive price . . .no Xplay optimized . . .sucks . . .their kidding me !

Instead of complaining we could try to ask for optimization. 1st we asked for it to be released as english. Now its here and we complain. How would they give us the chaos ring and other titles if they get all our complains.

this is the porting of the DS version, it has a better quality and is more difficult
btw for me is a good game, liked it on the DS, but i had finished it on the DS so i won't buy the android version (maybe if they do a porting of final fantasy tactics i will buy it, but ff 3 or 4 no)

I'm very sure they are testing us. 17 dolars is too expensive.

I f##cking love this dam game. Ment to be spending my time on my site but been playing this all day. No one should be moaning it has no controls, it's freaking FF on android and a good version at that. Pricy but so worth it. Buy it if you have not already.

Is this real life? Omg I'm so happy Square is finally bringing their iOS cataloge to Android!:victory:
I understand if you guys are disappointed by the price tag and little optimization. But at least it's available for everyone now. This is just one step from having Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and the other Squeenix games available on Android in the future!:fingers-crossed:

Price probably will go down in time. Still not too bad for a indirect port of the DS game.
I am a little surprised the game even runs on the my touch slide 3g. How long as this been out in Japan?
Screen shots look good too. The wonders of better resolution than the Nintendo DS.

anyone tried this with Gamekeyboard?

If i have it i'd definitely try out gamekeyboard. Based on the SS gamekeyboard should work.
OOT: anyone knows how to configure gamekeyboard for it to continually press the X? Macro?
Sent by Abie Cruz via Xperia PLAY r800i

If it works with Gamekeyboard I might consider it... want to see SE bring more stuff to Droid but... the controls thing really blows

I bought the game. If you consider the price for the DS version and the content you get out of it, it's not too bad. Plus the iOS version is the same price wise.
2 questions though. Where are the savegames located? Because I have also the Nexus S and I don't always have the Xplay with me.
And most importantly: The language apparently is the same as your device language. Which is german for me. Can I somehow force english language just for the game without having to change the device language? I have root.

Found it, there's a save.bin in this folder.

Woo... Now that reminds me of God of war.

Best!

Who said it won't be optimized for Play? You know, if Gameloft will change their minds and won't give game for 70% (more of 50% minimum) of Android users with devices with Adreno 205 inside, then who will buy it? Not everyone like SGS3 or have HTC One X. Guuuyss..... Be realists - it will be for Play users for sure - at least won't lag - do you remember Dungeon Defender? It has UE3 inside and what? Everything awesome on Play, and it was exclusive for some time....And if we get it - we get optimization too - Gameloft won't delete the best gaming Android device which Play is - which another device has touchpads like that? Just be patient and wait like me .
And about game - very good gameplay, nice graphics (not like super-uper UE3 graphic and incredible effect, but really good ), I have only hope they won't f*ck up engine, to avoid lags if we don't have iDevice....
Waiting for this title, reminds me some kind of Sacred Odyssey by Gameloft - if yes - I'm done .

Gameloft?! No, thank You... Another crap from this developers... Everything they touch, is going to be a crap with nice graphics (but there are also a games like Splinter Cell with awfull graphics).
I have a hope that someday they will make a game taking more time to get it better.

To it smells His Kingdom of Amalur for Android. Also I think as DikeJ, Gameloft always shows his games with the best graphs, for powerful devices as the S3, since for example on having taught It Nova 3, but only it is his face of sale. Then they are optimized for every terminus. I hope that it comes to Xperia Play!

What DiKeJ said.
How many times now have we assumed we'd get left behind now? And how many times has it actually happened? The consistent trend here is that no matter what level of benchmark the game aims towards... if it's not just flat out unsuited to play on anything but touch screens (Mass Effect: Infiltrator) chances are Xperia Play will get it, and it will run well. You'd think people would have stopped underestimating the Xperia Play after seeing it get it's hands on every benchmark game to date.

Should be for Xperia Play, whos gonna enjoy such games without physical buttons !!!
For touch screen Asphalt 7 is ok..

I hope Gameloft will continue the trend they did with The Dark Knight... having a SD-movable installer that didn't suck up a ton of space as "data" was nice.
Them thinking they need to suck up space off our phone is the major reason I don't play Order & Chaos, Six Guns, N.O.V.A. 3 and Modern Combat 3 as much as I'd like to.
...they'll never be as bad as Dvide Arts' punk ass though... they need to be beaten for having an additional data download go straight to the phone.

Calm down and relax guys....It's Gameloft so the game will be something like 2GB and hopefully Xperia Play optimized. Just chillout and wait with me . My only 3 asks are:
-optimize
-lag free, not only on New iPad (or iPad 3, call like you want) or iPhone 4S
-not so short and stupid adventure - something like Sacred Odyssey or Eternal Legacy or BackStab will be nice .
C'mon, pray with me! xD

It looks nice i hope we can play it on the play thanks for share
