The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is a very big deal for smartphone gaming. As a previous iDevice owner who noticed the potential for games on smartphones was exploding, it was pretty sad to see that that growth was stifled by touch-screen controls limiting what we can do and how deep a smartphone game is allowed to be.
We've seen physical gamepad solutions try to get smartphone gaming out of the "touch-screen gaming ghetto," devices such as the iControlPad, Gametel Controller and 60Beat controller... and they've all had such poor software support that they've pretty much failed to be anything more than emulator assistants.
That is, until the Xperia Play came along last year.
While it may have been initially written off by those who (incorrectly) presumed it's specs wouldn't be able to handle newer games, Xperia Play's picked up loads of momentum since it's release, got tons of AAA developer names backing it (such as Rockstar, Namco, Square Enix, EA, Sega, etc), got every benchmark gaming title on the platform under it's belt, and grew from an initial 40-60 games to 400 faster than any button-based gaming handheld in the entire history of gaming.
And I'm here to provide a database for Xperia Play gamers worldwide that databases them all!
XPERIA PLAY GAMER | ENTER
A big thanks to those who helped donate!
• Logseman = $10

Thanks to your efforts, it's now a .net!

It also features a mobile version that serves as an multi-market integrated method of linking directly to the specific Xperia PLAY version of any given game. You won't have to worry about whether you need to go to the EA Flexion Store, Gameloft Wapshop or find the specific version in the Google Play Store because I've taken care of all that - I sort of anticipate that this mobile version will become even more valuable than the desktop site.

As you can tell, this is a very rough project.
The database is only half done, things are very messy if you aren't using Google Chrome (especially on IE), a lot of the sorting options don't work yet, many functions aren't implemented and that may not even be it's permanent address.
But what it's planned to be is a completely Xperia PLAY centralized site that's major focus is to show what the Xperia PLAY brings to the table.
The Xperia PLAY game list I've created seems to have caught quite a bit of attention and made something of an impact, but the way it's designed means it can't possibly accommodate more than 400 games - this site will showcase everything, link to video media, offer a complete forum for each and every game as well as display Xperia PLAY-oriented articles (such as showing how drastic the percentage growth of Xperia PLAY games has been since launch, showing how it can run games like Dead Space just as well as dual-core devices such as the Galaxy S2, noting how it's the only current handheld gaming system that has an overwhelming majority of it's games rating higher than lower, and so on). It'll also feature a mobile version so people looking to get non-market games will have no hassle.
As one could indicate, it's not even close to being done. About all you can do now is play with the scrolling featured games list and click on "GAMES" to display the complete list of games. But feel free to offer comments/suggestions.

Its looking great and I love the concept. Thank you for your support and dedication, I am really excited to see the site when its gets going.
Nice website man. Can't wait until it's finished
Nice to see another dedicated site. I regularly check http://www.xperiagamer.com and will definitely be bookmarking yours too
Most delicious.
Looks great so far!
Thanks for all the kind words! The project's progressing rather quickly, but at the same time it's far from being what I want it to be. Everything's being coded from scratch so I move slowly, but get more control over how this progresses.
I just wanna play a little awareness-raising game; it's quite a shocker to be on engadget or such, and every time Xperia PLAY is brought up, you see someone who's amazed to find out that it's grown from a couple tens to hundreds of games in such a short time.
So I figured the best way to illustrate it is by hitting them in the face with a huge patchwork of games. Glad to see you like it so far.
May I suggest using Drupal to do the website? It's so much faster and easier...
I can even help you with if you decide to do it.
Cool.
You know what would make it even better. If you upload some psxperia games to the website.
There are a lot of noobs like me who just can't get the psxperia tool to work.

Yeah, that and I'm sort of going for a theme here where I keep it *pure*.
That means no PSX, no emulators, not even OnLive. I'm trying to show that Xperia PLAY's game library has a large quantity of quality releases without having to piggyback off systems of past generations.

Interesting idea, I am a little bit surprised about no OnLive (maybe you could just add a forum for emulators/OnLive (then again, there could be a problem with people requesting games they don't own, and all the legal ramifications that could include))

Oh sorry mybad.
thanks for sharing~
sorry, i don't wont to be rude, but the code of your site is orrible, with a lot of very stupid error: for example you don't have the html tag or the doctype tag, but the main problem is that you use a lot of deprecated tag such as center or font (and probably this is the problem because the site look well only in Google Chrome).
ps: sorry for my bad English

...did you miss the part about it being incomplete? I know what's messy, what's missing and what I need to do before this is clean, organized and standardized... and well beyond anything you've told me, at that. What you see there is likely not even gonna be the final layout, it was thrown together very hurriedly just so that a frame would exist for the database to output to.

I'll definitely be giving them their due attention, but I'm treating OnLive in the same regard as I do an emulator since that's essentially what it is.

Nah, only one of the links are clickable sans subcategories. I got a huge list of things I know needs to be fixed after I've finished off the database, I just posted a bit so people could get a preview since the "patchwork of games" is definitely the major theme of that site.
EDIT: ...and it seems a couple thousand visits in, my traffic's overloaded. I'll prob just buy a damn domain.

Thanks so much for this man!!! Brilliant!
nice site, always glad to see people taking interest in our phone!
with onLive! i agree and disagree. it is basically an "emulator" but its one that you could play Dirt3 on your pc then when you are on the go you can pickup right where you left off on your phone and get nearly the same experience.
i still haven't tried onlive yet but as they keep making things smoother and hearing more feedback from the xperia play people, i might take the plunge, adds a lot of games to our phone
Found this last week. It plays pretty good and is fun, but I despise touchscreen controls. This game would be awesome if it had d-pad / touchpad (definately touchpad, d-pad at least) support. What are your thoughts? I'm going to email the developer and request that he add the support.

yes, 2 days ago I bought it, than realized no gamepad support and asked 4 refund.
But wrote an email to makers, asking for xperia play gamepad support.
Was thinking exactly the same as you.

I believe the game may have been removed from the market. To be honest I was surpised to see it as I am sure Tue maker of the game probably did not ask Lucasfilm if its OK to make the game. I am unable to find the game in the market via a search either. So I can only guess its been removed

I wanted to say, that Dev wasted a whole lot of time making that game, and expecting to get away with selling it and making money off of LucasFilm's IP.
Looked like a cool game, but don't expect to ever see it return.

Yeah, looks good.
Well I attempted to play this....and at the load screen after selecting my newly made character ...it freaking reset my phone due to low memory....and that was AFTER the insane amounts of freezing amd FCing....but it doesn't look like I'm the only person to have these problems either, based on the reviews I read.

After the great Alaron HD, Horn arrives.
HORN is a 3rd person action adventure game - a completely unique experience where anyone can fully explore and enjoy a beautiful and engaging console-style world, all controllable by touch gestures.
You play as a young blacksmith's apprentice named Horn who wakes up to find your village and lands over run by large fantastic, and sometimes humorous, monsters. It is revealed these creatures are actually the people and animals from your village transformed by a curse, and you alone have the power to free them. On your incredible adventure you carry the loud-mouthed head of one such fantastic creature with you - a somewhat uncooperative and ill-tempered but grudgingly helpful sidekick. Along with this new companion you must use your sword, crossbow, trusty musical horn, and wits to explore the lands, defeat the enemies, and solve puzzles in your quest to undo the curse that engulfs your homeland.
Horn features:
∗ Accessible controls that anyone can use- walking, jumping, crawling, even grapple hook, are all performed with intuitive gestures
∗ Freely navigable console-quality detailed world- go wherever you want; not confined to limited path or rail
∗ A rich and unique fantasy world
∗ Touch-friendly melee combat and crossbow style weapons
∗ 3 unique and beautiful lands to discover
∗ Endlessly escalating challenge modes
∗ Hidden side content to discover
∗ Score written by award winning Austin Wintory and performed with full live orchestral
Coming to Android for Tegra devices.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txejnuwu_wY&feature=relmfu
Not the date "Horn" come to Android, but if so, we should be asking developers to optimize it for our Xperia Play from now. If you find any information or sending email to get our email, put it in this post.

P.d: It is like putting the video for "youtube" to make it look right. If someone tells me I put.

No offence, but i doubt this would come to the Xperia play. It uses unreal engine as far as i know and the studios other game, Dark meadows, was only available for tegra devices.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
Yes, that's possible. But there are games Tegra running perfectly in Xperia Play remember like Samuray II Vengeance, SoulCraft and others games. I have hope that optimize this game, but if you do not optimize your pad to use, perhaps using Chainfire3D...
Works on iPhone4. As AralonHD, which later adapted to Android and works wonders on Xperia Play.
Hopefully more news to see what happens. :fingers-crossed:
Sorry TC it will not get optimized. Nvidia paid big money to make it Tegra exclusive. Same situation with Dark Meadow. The devs could make it for all android devices if they wanted , but they like how closed the Tegra chip is (like iOS) and since Nvidia is giving them money , they feel its the safest for them.
They dont want to work with every type of Android chipset.
Horn isn't tegra exclusive is it? I thought it was just coming first to tegra then later on other android devices?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I dont know about Horn exactly , but i really wanted to play Dark Meadows and sent them many emails. They answered and stated that its not that they are "exclusive" its more like its not financially viable for them , as a small company , to support many android chipsets. With Tegra , Nvidia gave them money and the chipset itself is a "safe" investment for them.
For it is a shame, then I will mourn ....
Try running it with Chainfire3D ...
This doesn't even work on my 4th gen iPod Touch, so I highly doubt it'll work on the Xperia Play
Guys look at the grafics and stay realstic. This is way better then dungeon defenders wich was not smooth on the play. If this comes to the play than with dramatic downscaled grafics.
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
But everything depends on optimizing Android. Recently we have the "Heroes Call" Initially, this action game and RPG appeared on the "Google Play Store" exclusively for mobile phones with more powerful processors (Tegra 2 and 3), but with the promise that they would be available for all other models before the end of the summer. And it seems that its developers have word, because here we have the latest update, suitable for any Android ..
Those are the examples that make me think positively.:laugh:

I have a question. HORN that this game does not require android 3.2 onwards? ie. even though I do not tegra optimizen smartphone .. We could not play our Xperia Play with Gingerbread ..
I know that there is a nearly perfect ICS rom is the Unofficial release .. but does not support so many other games, or is one or the other .

but also another user who joins the petition. I've already sent an email to developers. I hope it becomes bigger every time the request and listen to us.
It would be great to get to these levels of graphics and to play games with the Unreal Engine in our Xplay ..
has anyone tried this game with gamekeyboard?

After years of postponing, capcom finally released DMC4 to android, and optimized it for XP for its first time as promised with sony years ago.
Unfortunately, this game just published on G-GEE which only for japan i suppose course i can't buy it in my country.
Unlike KOF13, it bulit in GEE market app,no xperia play game laucher, doesn't show anywhere except GEE. It does't launch with GEE but lanuch after that. i heared about this from my friend in japan.

Video if the Noobs to Xperia Play never knew about it -
OK, I have the game installed. I had to buy it for 600 yen ($7 USA) Heres what I did. First I used bar code scanner to scan the barcode next to the devil may cry on the G-Gee link. It will download G-Gee Gamecenter. Install this. Open it and make a new account. Then download market enabler (see attachment) and use Docomo Japan code 44010. Then rescan the Devil may cry with barcode scanner. And select Gamecenter to open. It will then show it as a way to buy it. select buy then sign in and pay by credit card, then enter your credit card and hit save. Then watch as it will download. Too bad its in JPN. But those who want to play it this works... Ive just now installed it.. Will play it and see....
AWESOME NEWS!!!!!!! Menus are in English, and under options you can select the game in full English....!!!!!! EDIT: Bummer news. No touchpads support. Only the dpad and the four buttons on the right. No triggers either. Graphics dont look awesome but not bad. And just like King of fighters not full screen. Seems like 800x480 instead of 854x480.

Xperia PLAY is still kicking and still going strong ! WOOO !!!:victory:
I say it's still got another year left before it goes old and by that time i'm sure Xperia PLAY 2 will be out.
Can't wait to hear back on the e-mails some of you sent out, I would love nothing more than to play this but am non-rooted. So is this supposed to be the exact same game as Devil May Cry 4 or is it something of a lite version with less features and content?
