So the good news is that Heroes Call is no longer a Tegra exclusive. It's out for free on the Google Play store, with a revamped IAP system that doesn't brake the game, on the contrary, critics say that it's great and not intrusive.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5EZWZpYW50RGV2Lmhlcm9lc2NhbGwuVEhEIl0.
The big question is: Is this game Play optimized, will we be able to play it on our gamepad?
I'm not at home so I don't have a good internet connection, if someone finds out please report here. Cheers!
Nope. It's just like Runescape lol.

Thank you very much for telling! The e downloaded free from Play Store and works fine on Xperia Play!
I can confirm there's no gamepad support. That's a bummer, the game runs soooo smooth, and looks so great it would be a pity if we never get support.
So now let's pester the dev for that shall we Let them see how many XPlay users are out there, and that we need to be heard!
One guy left a review saying that if the dev got more support for the play he would include it.

Who would include what?
More people should download and rate with comments to bring attention to the problem. Ever since I first played a game that was Play optimized I can't even imagine gaming on a touchscreen, it seems wrong.

The reviewer said that he got an email from the developer of the game that said if more people showed interest in xperia play optimization, he (the developer) would add it in.

This game is perfectly playable with touch screen, you basically do everything with 1 (ONE!) finger. No need for XP controls.
IMHO not everything needs physical buttons, let me list some of my games I can play on touch screen perfectly fine: Mini Motor Racing, Mass Effect Infiltrator, Jetpack Joyride, Temple Run...
I send them an email yesterday asking for controls, they said I was the second person that asked for them.
so start sending those emails!

True, the controls are fine, but I still have to cover the screen with a finger, and that's bad. Using the control scheme from Dungeon Hunter would make this game perfect for our phones.
We could try to ask the devs, and if they are willing to optimize it will be a huge new addition to the Play library. And if not, well, we might learn to live with the touchscreen controls.
I join the request. I sent an email to developers. The more the merrier.
Greetings
So 4 people so far. That's what the reply from the dev said
Come on guys, seems they are willing to pay attention to this. Let's show how big of a community we actually are.

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 :-\

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 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.
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?

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.

Not going to comment on the warez part, the game itself is 1.99 on the PLAY store and in my opinion is totally worth it. And not that its a big deal but currently this game is Xperia PLAY exclusive on the market. You want english and Xperia support I highly recommend supporting the developer of the game and buying it, it really is a fun game and @ 1.99 is a steal already (you see that....pun..)

Good to know that it works well on xperia play. The fact that it is blocked for my play may be a good thing. They could be looking to optimize this in an update and then make it available for play.
I'm starting to be very skeptical about GluMobile games. Two of their latest products (Mutan Roadkill and Gears & Guts) are still incompatible with my R800i.
No big loss though, as most of their games are of the same template and include IAPs if you want to beat them - Gun Bros is a shining example of that template.
Aye, Glu seem to be running their reputation into the ground in pursuit of a slice of the f2p pie. I hope noone supports them

Looks like a great game and with the simple one action type control scheme, no reason why they can't add xperia play support.

Not to bad looking and gameplay is nice but not really liking games which only need 1 tap (where is the challenge).

So not worth it, if they can't optimize/map on button like X for jump...Maybe updated version will have it. If not - I can always play it on my X10 without pain, but on Play I wanted something more....
Guys, I still the chances are strong that there will be an optimized version released formally next week. I can see the hardware working for a variety of functions in the game. My fingers are crossed :fingers-crossed:
No there is no chance. No way any dev will want to map one screen touch (because that's what it is the whole game)
Xplay support is not necessary in a game like this, and your just being petty if you won't touch it because of that
But, actually guys....If you really want have it "Xperia Play optimized unofficial" - please do like me - map one button (which you like best for jump, I like X like in PlayStation), and fell free to call it optimized (except icon i Play's launcher, but I don't care much about it always). There is no unusefull touchscreen buttons, so no way to say that "there is too much things on screen when playing" - this minimalistic form of that game is sure advantage. But it's quite short, but still worth playing ^^.
Err guys is it leaked? My friend showed me download links for the apk and SD data from a warez site.
