From source :
We are unsure just yet if this is a UK-only release or if everyone is able to grab this but EA has released D.A.R.K for the Xperia Play. It's a little tricky to find but we have where to get it if it is indeed available for everyone. Either way, it is a great looking shooter/RPG game.
D.A.R.K is a top-down shooter/RPG with a space theme wrapped in some great 3D graphics. Your job is to search through a ship that has lost communications which was on an important mission to save mankind. While there isn't a whole lot of information regarding this game, your character happens to be decked out like a Space Marine from Warhammer 40k. It is a lot like Gun Bros but without the Bro part and deeper storyline. Don't forget this was one of the games that was announced right before E3 as coming to the Xperia Play but with no other information available.
Features:
Huge Sci-Fi RPG
Mind-blowing 3D graphics
An enormous ship to explore
Tons of upgradable weapons and items to find
Unique Enemies with intelligent AI
Currently, to find this game you have to go to a specific site which is why we believe this may be a UK-only release for right now. This doesn't mean anyone else can't get it but we are also are not 100% sure you can either just yet. What is even more strange is that there was no information or press release that this game had even been released. The only way to get the game is by jumping onto your Xperia Play and heading over to this site, EA Flexion Store. It is an OEM marketplace where EA HD games are sold.
One other thing to note, during the intro video the Chillingo symbol appears. Does this mean Chillingo is getting back into publishing on Android after almost a year of nothing? If you remember though, at the end of last year EA bought Chillingo for $27 million so it makes sense since EA is involved in Android gaming.
D.A.R.K will cost you £5 which is basically $7.99. We would love for any of our US Xperia Play owners to try this and let us know if it works for you or not. It probably won't though since we are almost positive it's UK-only right now. As with all Xperia Play exclusive games so far, D.A.R.K will end up being a one month exclusive to the Xperia Play most likely before a version for all other Android devices is released. No word on exactly when this will hit US shores but it could be any day from now.
I can download it, so it seems not to be UK only
Regards Dousan...
yea im downloading now too
Just took the game for a quick run and its pretty cool the aiming is pretty easy in this game and the d pad works prefect, all in all its a really good game!
Unsure of how to obtain this I can't find it in my Market Aus here
It's not in the market you need to use the link in OP's post then the link that says 'purchase'. When on EA's homepage hit D.A.R.K link. If it's not there hit the home button in the bottom of the EA page and it should then appear
Regards Dousan...
Fun game played one hour and it's saying my progress is 66% I hope it's not that short.

Now it's easier to find, simply open the Xperia Play app and it's there!
it's already on my Xperia Play app, PHILIPPINES
Whenever i try to get the game via the Xperia-Play app it redirects me to the EA site and there it said:
Unsupported Game
We're sorry but the game you selected is not available for your handset. click the link below to browse all games that are available to you.
Am i the only one having this problem? Anyone know how i could fix it?
I wouldn't bother getting this game, it gets very boring and repetitive. Sure the game looks great, but the gameplay is weak. I would stick to Gun Bros where there's far more depth in enemies, upgrades, and weapons.
I managed to buy it, the game is very repetitive, but fun. The problem is, I finished it in less than three hours. After finishing the game, they tell you they will release addons soon, so they want more money from us.
6 euro for a repetitive game of three hours, and they want to release paid-for DLC? I'm sure the next phone models will have coin slots, just like the old arcade games, because they'll want us to pay 20c in order to respawn after being killed, in addition to having bought the game...

Do you guys experience major bugs with BackStab?
I got it as a free title but I don't even think people should be buying this piece of *%$&%
I constantly will find bugs in the game like falling down into walls/stands/houses and being unable to escape which means a restart of the level/check point.
Also often times when you are swimming it won realize you have left water > land so you are pretty much stuck in swimming mode, swimming around the land and once again having to restart the level.
These bugs have made it unplayable for me because I get frustrated every time I have to restart a level and for the same thing to happen over and over again.
Let Gameloft know about the bugs so they can actually fix them?
You poor sheltered child...

They know about the bugs and haven't fixed them.
This was more a post wondering if other people are experiencing the same problems.
Yeah, I only paid £1 for it but it is pretty awful with bugs, glitches and quirks.
The swimming one is bad, don't know how many times I've literally swam around town.
I've played the game from start to finish, and there are plenty of really obvious bugs that I doubt will ever be fixed.
The game isn't even that good anyway.
It's no wonder that Sony walked away from Gameloft and chose a somewhat more prestigious brand like EA for the next exclusive games...

Um... they didn't walk away from anything with anyone.
Well, Backstab was an XPlay exclusive when it was released... now they're not picking any more Gamelift's games for that, are they?
The game is pretty buggy and laggy, but it's a great attempt from Gameloft. There's not a lot of elaborate games like this for Android on our phone yet and they did a pretty decent job, much better voice acting and gameplay than say Assassins Creed: Altair's Chronicles.
I highly doubt Joe Sony walked up to John Gameloft and said, "HEY, YOUR GAMES SUCK! I'm gonna go hang out with Hank E.A. now!" Also, remember this is SonyEricssons platform, not Sony (SCE).
It is a shame because it seems to be the only original game they came up with.
There was so much hype about this game in my country and they really dropped the ball on this one.

Lol, I don't mean that they said that. However, Gamelift's share of attention to the Xperia Play has diminished greatly, and it seems that EA has been appointed as a privileged gaming partner. Besides, Sony's (the alma mater's) involvement with the Xperia devices is greater now, for example the Qriocity store is now preloaded on the new firmware.
That's not at all how this whole thing works and Gameloft's "share of attention" hasn't diminished at all, not sure where you get that from.
Well, in the Gamescom, only Let's Golf 3 was announced as being ported to the Xperia Play, if memory serves me. Meanwhile, EA announced three titles, two of them Xperia Play exclusives, and other developers announced two or three per developer. Here's a list sorted by developers: http://www.xperia.es/juegos/nuevos-juegos-para-xperia-play-anunciados-en-la-gamescom/
I think Gameloft has done pretty well converting their games to be "Xperia Play optimized", they already did it with most of their library - that makes sense - and now probably have to come up with (see: rip off, lol) new games.
It's nice to see more developers jumping on.

LOL, nothing to do with them "not liking" gameloft, its just the way set exclusives work (same as consoles), in this case gameloft was first, then Polorbit, now EA, it will go back to Gameloft soon.
I much prefer Gameloft Games over the crap EA Mobile bring out, EA games (that aren't even very good) that have been out for absolutely ages on iphone just ported over badly to android, wow! the excitement! we get the year old need for speed: hot pursuit while idevices get the latest need for speed: shift 2 lol. and we already know how the new fifa i going to turn out......
Gameloft are bringing out many more games on the Play in the coming months
Gameloft ---> EA Mobile

mm a PSP game? Nicee! I had a PSP but i seriezly wasted money on it -_- only 2 games for it lawl.
I defo wouldnt mind buying GOD of War
*Facepalm* Popolocrois was originally a PSX title. My bad.
Seemingly it's a fairly big Japanese franchise, and we only caught a small glimpse of it on the PSP. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PoPoLoCrois
AWWW
HOPES CRUSHED X_x
really hope they can be revived
Now I see why it felt so freaking old-school when I played it. It WAS old school.
Where's Wipeout? Dammit the one game I want that I STILL won't be able to get and they already have the damn game out everywhere but the US. (And no the iso doesn't work with the psxperia setup).
It's probably one of the titles which will launch in Europe and the US, as Wipeout has its fanbase there. keep in mind this is a Japanese list. We're sadly not going to see the likes of Ganbare Morikawa-kun 2nd, Bealphareth or Docchimo Mechamecha.

Wipeout has been out in europe for aggges. Thanks for the heads up by the way logseman, nice looking list of future games there. I spent many hours playing alundra in my youth. It's like zelda
None of the games are multidisc games. Actually, they're mostly from the first years of the console...

Mmm Yes nice observation
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
All that list SUCKS. Where are hits from psx? Where is Tekken, Final Fantasy seria, Harvest Moon, Castlevania, Gran Tourismo, Iss ??? Only Arc The Land and Wild Arms are a great titles - else are a crap... Sony - make something better - or Ps suite will be dead in next year...
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
I'll post here what I posted in the other thread...
Hmmm, definitely a step in the right direction, although a few of those games are already available on the Android store, and I haven't even heard of a handful of them (I'd have trouble even pronouncing the titles ), and some are obviously original titles. The linked article also suggests that these titles are for the Japanese market so the list may change when it's released everywhere else...we could get different games or we might just get a truncated list.
But I mean Magical Dice Kids? Really?
I think in the next round of updates it's time they brought some more well-known PSX titles to the market...stuff like ridge racer or gran turismo, some final fantasy titles, twisted metal, tekken, metal gear, god of war...they need to bring out some more Playstation recognisable titles for these Playstation certified devices. I'm not convinced people are buying these devices to play games like I.Q Intelligent Qube. They sound like games you'd buy for a DS, not a PS device.
This is a good start but the next step in what titles are released will be crucial. New games also need to be coming in regularly.
Is XI devil Dice?
Devil Dice is a brilliant game.

The only game on that list that sony owns any rights to AFAIK is Gran Tourismo. Games like Final Fantasy/Tekken, would cost sony more to get a licence off the developers, than they would make back in revinue. Unless sony decide to let other publishers publish there own PS1 classics on the PS Store, then we might see alot of great games soon

Ok - but it is PS Suit not Sony PS1 Suite. This games are on PS Store to PSP. And the price is almost the same. I unsderstand what are You talking about, but it is ridiculous what Sony is doing. For half a year no new games, that which are in store aren't a good titles, and new games that will be on ps suit are not better... I'm disappointed because Sony wanted to promote this phone, even gave him a Sony certificate. And then NOTHING. They forgot about us. Only talking about how great they are...
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
A few things looking back on this:
1) this is the Japanese list, its very likely the list for the rest of the world will be different since they will want to sell games that people would recognize and buy. Hence why Crash Bandicoot comes with the Play in the US and Europe and not Mobile Suit Gundam or something (and yes I know MSG is now on TV in both places, but its not a phenomenon here like it is there).
2) I would bet money any PSOne games that you see in the current Playstation Store for the PS3/PSP would be open and Licensed to be put on the Playstation Suite which means Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Tekken, etc all would be possible to be available for the Play. As we have discussed in the past, Sony publishing those games is like free money for Namco, Capcom, et. al. because they are long since defunct and there is no production or overhead behind them.
So my conclusion, in North America and Europe this list is going to be different, and its entirely possible that third party titles that are already available in the PS Store could be amongst them.
It seems that Sony has stepped up the game a bit and they have brought third party titles with some substance. I can't see them on sale here, though.:

I wish Sony will not make mistake like in PSP - less PSOne games, only old crap instead of hits. PSX has many hits and Xperia Play is the best phone to use these games
But... we have FPSE
Currently for Xperia PLAY from Kemco we have the awesome games:
Eve of the Genesis
Aeon Avenger
Symphony of Eternity.
All three are great, my favorites being Eve & Aeon. I wanted to let everyone know I have contacted Kemco and asked them about their other RPG games that are on the market but not available in English. Here is what I wrote to them, all games in question have the web page link, from there you can see the three games I have if you are interested.

Hello,
Currently I have Aeon Avenger, Symphony of Eternity, Eve of the Genesis on my Xperia PLAY and I love these games. They have provided me with a lot of entertainment. I have noticed there are several other games listed on the Google PLAY store that say they are for Japanese only. Can you tell me if any of the following games will be released in English and have Xperia PLAY support..
Machine Knight: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwyLDEsImtlbWNvLmhpdHBvaW50Lm1hY2hpbmUiXQ..

Solitude of Covenant: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kemco.magitec.solitude&feature=search_result
I would appreciate any feedback as myself and many others would love to see more of these RPG games come to English speaking Xperia PLAY users and to the android community as a whole. Thank you for your time. And thank you for releasing these to the market and for making them Xperia PLAY optimized.
Sincerely,
Jesse

Whatever response I get I will post here, if you are a fan of not only RPG's but RPG's for Xperia PLAY please email Kemco at the above email address and request that more RPG games come to not only the Android community but also Xperia PLAY. Seriously these RPG's are a lot of fun and I have really had a lot of fun and enjoyment playing these games.
I'm still buggin' them to Xperia Play Optimize Grinsia and Alphadia... I'll actually care about those games when they're optimized
...btw, have you seen the trailer for Symphony of the Origin? That looks better than a handful of RPGs on my PSP/DS!

This is the response I got......... not quite what I was hoping to hear but then again I guess the support team probably doesnt know any more then the rest of us until any new games are announced.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear customer,
This is KEMCO_GAMES support representative.
Thank you very much for having played our games!
I'm afraid we cannot guarantee anything about future releases(in
English) or Xperia supports. However, our intention is to launch as much
games as possible for the people all over the world to give them the
chance to have fun with our JRPGs.
During that time, we can show you other RPGs which are already localized
in English and available on Google Play.
http://www.kemco-games.com/global/games.html
If you liked Aeon Avenger, Symphony of Eternity and Eve of the Genesis,
I'm sure you'll like them as well.
Sincerely,
KEMCO_GAMES

Yesm Kemco's JRPGs are great. I have played and beaten Symphony of Eternity (not my favorite of the 3 I have beaten but still good) Eve of the Genesis, Aeon Avenger. These games are serioulsy... a lot of fun. Cannot praise them enough. Some of the dialogue is a little cheesy but still good games.
mmm, maybe after Persona 2 and Thales of Phantasia i will try this games
