Ah snap... I completely forgot this game was coming out for our phone. Awesome... loved it on my old xbox.....funny game.

See, it's **** like this that's making it very hard to leave my Xperia Play and pay attention to my PSVita.
I mean, I already had this on my iPod Touch... but yeah... touch controls = automatic inferior experience.

Touchpad, right, is for looking around the room and its reveresed. So touching the left side of the riht touchpad make you go opposite direction in viewing angle. Also sometimes you press the right touchpad and you screen just spins.... very annoying. am still keeping this game as its funny and I enjoyed it. I am going to email the Dev InXile and ask that they continue to perfect the controls because this game as a lot of potential on our phone. I saw a little lag every now and then. CGI videos are only half screen. It does support both touchpds and dpad, but it does not show up in the Xperia pLAY launcher.
We are able to adjust the performance of the game in the performance options so that it will run better if needed. Also I set all performance settings on high or maximum and bumped my phones CPU to 1.2ghz on performance and saw no or very very little lag. Just my findings.
I am emailing them now with my gratitude and some ideas to make the game better control wise, and yes I did mention Xperia PLAY Launcher support.
Here is the email address:
[email protected]
I would like to ask that those who see any bugs and feedback for improvement please email them above. I did mention TLRtheory's page with a link to how to optimize the game for the launcher and I also gave them the link to this page as well.

Excellent game!
I do not understand how they can make these games with excellent graphics for our Xplay!
And games like Horn (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31101815 # post31101815)
They are for TEGRA & ANDROID 3.2 onwards.

I wanted to start this thread, but didn't want be ungrounded, cause I downloaded few minutes before whole SD Files. And what's my opinion about that game? It's awesome, really. Big thumbs up for developers who made this possible, and big plus for Xperia Play optimization. Preety solid next game for our hardcore-gamers library. 100% worth buying!! . And very nice surprise with relase date, cause I was waiting for Rayman Jungle Run today only, and it was delayed actually (-.-). But now we have nice optimized game, with full of humour and more!!! Great!

Thanks for this just made me get it, its an awesome game like but i'v noticed when i run my character juggers a little bit every time i run,
Anybody else having this issue?

Can some one please tell me how much internal memory space does this game requires? I am not rooted and have trillions of games installed. The app is 14 MB, I somehow managed to get 37 MB internal memory free from initial 20 MB, but still says free up some space and try again. Looks like removing Dungeon Hunter 3 which is taking 24 MB is the only option.

Hrm... controls don't seem to work properly on "UnOfficial ICS Test Release Xperia Play 4.0.4". Anyone have any luck getting the d-pad and whatnot to work?

This game is awesome. I just love ports from the PC. They're >>>>>> than mobile games.

Love the way they used that touchpad space between the 2 circles as another hardware button (toggle the map) shows out of the box thinking

Sometimes CoD:BOZ would continue aiming/moving in a certain direction if you continued on to the hourglass from a touchpad but I don't think it was intentional

We intend to keep updating The Bard's Tale to address any issues that arise. Can you describe the issue that is happening with the controls on Xperia Play with ICS?

No onscreen controls at all with Controllers/Xperia Play. The game does have settings to map buttons but Xperia Play is set up by default just like their great RPG collection HERE. Its fully optimized but no launcher icon just yet.

oh , what a great finding . i will buy it later after i got my money and comment about it . seems like a great game .

Could somebody tell me if the first Ex Zeus will work with the Xperia Play controls?

YES!! Finally its here....!!! Been waiting it since last year (Originally they promised launch on July 2012). On initial release it was bugged and crash on Xperia Play, but now they fixed it and it run smooth! Well the graphic is OK on our Xperia Play, and support full Xperia Play control. However its abit pricey as at my place it sells at USD$4...

Thanks poo-tang.

Just want to give my two cents and little mini-review (I'm on what appears to be the last level and if being drunk doesn't make me too dizzy to play I'll finish it tonight; I'm looking at you Final Fantasy 3, yet I don't quite know why) of the game:
I'm really in love with it but it has a lot of flaws. The game-play clearly resembles games like Afterburner and Panzer Dragoon but with a hint of Charge n' Blast in level design and appearance. The game looks absolutely gorgeous but this comes at a cost; the game lags occasionally on the Play and when it does it is quite heavy lag that really effects game-play. I play on a stock r800i and not only did I experience lag (which lowering the resolution settings did not seem to effect) but I have also had a few force closes. The most damning issue by far would be that the game's controls simply don't function properly in a critical way. If you double tap left or right you do a dodge in which you spin and move slightly faster but on the Play pressing the d-pad simply defaults to dodge instead of standard move making precise aiming nearly impossible while heavily affecting your dodge_accuracy% score multiplier at the end of a level. There are other control issues not exclusive to the Play such as defaulting to melee attack after an on-the-ground melee combo even when you are far out of range. The soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard in a game and some of the overall design such as the vs. screen with the siren appearing before a boss battle really make the game feel polished on a level not yet seen on an Android device. The game-play suffers the most in the desert stage when riding the buggy since you literally have no clue which direction you should be going resulting in many inevitable crashes in to invisible walls which guide you to the right path. The boss battles are also somewhat monotonous since each boss (remember, I've fought four out of what I assume are five bosses, if I'm wrong I apologize and will fix), with the exception of the first feature the same weak points, two "arms" and a head. Even still, the boss battles are incredibly fun and add a great sense of accomplishment to the very long levels. The variation in game-play is great; you fly, walk, hop on a buggy (ugh), a motorcycle, and jump in a turret. The only aspect that feels weak would be the overhead view shmup style level that appears in between each main level. While the isometric level is clearly intended to be a bonus level due to the amount of points you can achieve, there is never any variation. The enemies are the same, the background is the same and all that changes are slight increases in difficulty.
TL;DR, the game is fantastic, even if I sounded a bit harsh in my review, but the single aspect that keeps it from being a must-have would be the way that the controls default to dodge instead of move. This is literally game-breaking in my opinion. For people like myself that really dig this style of game I'd say "**** yeah, pick it up" but if you are on the fence I'd recommend putting it off until fixes are made.

Force Close
Could someone please tell me the internal memory & RAM you keep in your phone before playing this game?
Right now, it force closes after 10mins of gameplay even when I keep 200MB RAM free. But my internal memory is low (85MB). Me thinks this might be the reason. But need some confirmation before I email the developers.

Below is the reply I got from them.
Hello,
Please up the free ram to 384 before starting the game and confirm the issue no longer exists.
Kindest regards
384MB free RAM on the Play? is this even possible????? Any ideas please?

Hahaa....no way in heck can you get even 300 mb free....the higheat I've had is 260....and that was about 2 minutes...
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

Unlocked my bootloader. Flashed Doomlord's kernel. Overclocked to 1.4GHZ. Got 180MB internal memory free. Runs nicely now. So, I guess the problem was not with the available RAM.

Another update on this game to reduce in-game memory usage. I do see some improvement. Now I do not have to wait for the next phone restart to play this game. Hope GTA Vice City too is updated the same way.
Change log below
Reduce in-game memory usage.
.Fix a bug with Level3 Big Boss "Almas".
.Fix a shader problem on MALI-400 GPU.

A note from the composer of ExZeus 2
The soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard in a game and some of the overall design such as the vs. screen with the siren appearing before a boss battle really make the game feel polished on a level not yet seen on an Android device.

Thank you for the kind compliments :good:
It took more than a year for me to write all of the music for ExZeus 2, and I enjoyed every second of it.
If you liked the soundtrack, it's available for sale at a ridiculous price, and it includes two bonus tracks which didn't make it in to the game (because they were too progressive!)
You can buy the soundtrack (or listen to it for free) here - ronjward.bandcamp.com

Real Racing 2 never had XP controls while simultaneously released EA titles at that time were XPO. Not to mention the laggy nature of RR2 on the Xperia PLAY probably because it was developed by Firemint. However, EA's last racing title, NFS Most Wanted, proved that mobile racing game on the Xperia PLAY is not yet to die, in a short matter of time, that is.
Because of that, and because as I have seen on that dev diary, RR3 seems to have been developed by Firemonkeys (which also developed NFSMW2012), I AM DEFINITELY CROSSING MY FINGERS!
PS, I once bought RR2 for $0.99 during a sale. After a while I uninstalled it but when I thought of playing it again, it just disappeared from my apps list and checking through Google Play via PC shows it isn't compatible with my device. What a bummer.

I belive a very very early RR2 version (the old free version app with IAP) did have controls, it also did appear in the launcher in many versions after support was dropped. I know EA have had lots of bugs from day 1 with RR2 and still having them now to this day nearly 2 years on, maybe this is the reason for loss of support. putting this game aside every other EA racer was Optimized.

Graphics is not as in dev diary, that's for sure. But still very good, and nicely optimized to work flawlessly, but still - SD Files could be smaller (noticed that on my tablet, it's even bigger! *There is Mali400 and 2x1.6GHz). Except that - maybe some fixes will come before official relase, that's all I can say . And stop writing me PM about apk -> I won't share anything, I'm honest with my friends .

SEGA's flying arcade classic hits Android for those who can play it
EDIT 1 + WARNING] = Version 2.0 (First Version) does not work on any of our Xperia (Just crashes at first screen) Will update when they have fixed this issue, but you may want to give it a miss for now unless you want the update ASAP.
EDIT 2 + WARNING = Version 1.0.1 (New Working Version) Sega have gone down hill very fast starting with Jet Set which has never been fixed. This game downloads the SD data like any other new game to Android>Obb (250mb) and like some games it then needs to be extracted to normally Android>Data. Well this game is F**KED and extracts all data to Internal storage meaning it turns into a 469MB app on internal memory WTF!!!!! (Would only install on an Xperia T to test this as the Xperia Play does not even have enought space without bloatware and 0 apps installed) oh well REFUND!!!
Edit 3 - Version 1.1 latest version/update is now fixed and can be installed on Xperia Play and runs but no Xperia Play Optimization

I remember walking into an arcade and my jaw dropping at the graphics, hard to believe that mode 7 was the pinnacle of graphical prowess back then. :laugh: As much as I liked that game, the machine at my arcade had a loose joystick or something, becuase everytime I pulled the stick all the way to any side, It would pinch the side of my hands. It was probably because I was about 8 or 9 lol.

Re: After Burner Climax (Coming Soon)
Same as super hang on. The bike was always busted and leant over to one side so trying to control it was a nightmare. It's amazing to think that in those days that was the only way to play amazing games. My C64 just didn't cut it. Now I'm gonna have an arcade game on my phone. Amazing! Just need Sega rally and Daytona now!!! And outrun 2 would be nice!

It's a great arcade game. With gamepad support it should be a lot of fun.

Its a fun game for sure. You can beat the whole thing in about 10 minutes, but there are different planes and powerups to try, multiple endings, and special goals and stuff as well that makes it replayable.

Its out now and will test for hardware controls soon

Yeah sore the reviews but thought would take the bullit for the Xperia users and test if had same issue as the Nexus's and Sammy's. After testing on Xperia Play and Xperia T have found it does not work like others . I have added warning to OP but have kept the game so the second its updated i will know and report back.

The game has been pulled from the Play store. Fantastic news if you ask me, at least they are acknowledging that something is wrong and are working to get it fixed. I still have a huge issue with the way Sega handled Crazy Taxi; see, Sega Blog (blog.sega.com) announced that it was coming soon to Android. They claim in an article that Sega stated such to them and I've always been under the impression that Sega Blog is run by Sega even if not directly but please do correct me if I am wrong on that. In my e-mail correspondence with Sega of America's customer service I was at first told that the team could not make "any official comments based on speculation". After they told me to "follow[...] online gaming news sites for official announcements" (which is what lead to this mess) I doubled down and received this response: "Sega has not posted any information regarding Crazy Taxi being ported to Android devices." Regardless of the credibility (or lack thereof) of Sega Blog I still found my interaction with SoA's customer service sketchy at best. Couple this with the trouble Sega had putting Jet Set Radio out on Android (many users of other phones were reporting lag as well) and a slew of exclusives aimed at iOS including the recent Dash and All Stars Racing and we might very soon lose the support of one of our best, Play supporting, developers.

Game is back out, Downloading soon when get to a charger (Need some power) will test out see if has gamepad support
EDIT + WARNING = Version 1.0.1 (New Working Version) Sega have gone down hill very fast starting with Jet Set which has never been fixed. This game downloads the SD data like any other new game to Android>Obb (250mb) and like some games it then needs to be extracted to normally Android>Data. Well this game is F**KED and extracts all data to Internal storage meaning it turns into a 469MB app on internal memory WTF!!!!! (Would only install on an Xperia T to test this as the Xperia Play does not even have enought space without bloatware and 0 apps installed) oh well REFUND!!!

Well tthat sucks it lioked like a good game

Wonder who let the monkey loose to programme that installation is.
And they still haven't fixed Jet Set Radio.

Most likely the same people that did Aliens:CM LOL Sega have really let their selves go. The games before this, Jet Set Radio and lame Sonic Jump were pefect and felt well done like sega used to build. But now who ever they have sub contracted to port these games have just ruined classic titles

I bought this and installed on my jxd s7300 and it works well but the space taken on internal is mad. Plus I can't seem to close the game properly. Back button does nothing and there's no exit button so I have to hit home and force stop manually.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

Any news on that game, i mean is it playable and what about the installation size on internal??
Would like to try because the pictures looks very promising.

Confirmed it can run on xplay, no gamepad feature though

The Version for the PS3 rocks!!!!! One of my favorite games. One thing you could too help you Play is repartitioning.

Description
Carmageddon is the original freeform driving sensation, where pedestrians (and cows!) equal points, and your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of automotive killing machines. The game features anarchic drive-wherever-you-like gameplay and over-the-top surreal comedy violence. It’s the racing game where racing is for wimps.
Now the same Mac & PC classic that was BANNED AROUND THE WORLD is back and available on Android phones and tablets!Carmageddon features real-world environments that have been turned into killing fields, where the locals stay out on the streets at their peril. As well as using your car as a weapon, every level is sprinkled generously with power-ups that have a vast variety of mad effects, adding a whole extra level of craziness to the proceedings. In every event you have the option to “play it your way”… Waste all your opponents, kill every pedestrian, or (perish the thought) complete all the laps. Oh and watch out – the cops in their super-tough armoured patrol vehicles are lurking, and if they catch you being bad they’ll be down on you like several tons of cold pork!
FEATURES
• 28 dangerously deranged Opponents
• 11 wildly exhilarating Environments
• Career Mode featuring 36 satisfyingly violent Levels
• Race and Wreck opponents to unlock 30 playable cars!
• Multiple control methods: digital, analogue (mix ‘n’ match), tilt
• Edit your control layout in game to your preferences
• Comprehensive Action Replay System
• Environment maps and other special effects
• Enhanced pre-lit environments
• Buckets of gibs
• Tons of laughs
Plus the opportunity to make in app purchases to unlock ALL the cars (apart from the secret one) and ALL the races!
Carmageddon requires Android 2.3.4 or later.
AWARDS AND RECOGNITION FOR THE ORIGINAL GAME
Carmageddon won the “Game of the Year” trophy in the 1997 PC Zone Reader awards. Carmageddon 1 & 2 were “Driving Game of the Year” 1997/1998.
SELECTED REVIEWS OF THE ORIGINAL GAME
Originally released for the PC in 1997, Carmageddon was an instant hit and the titles went on to sell over 2 million copies worldwide. Here’s what a sample of the gaming press thought at the time:
“Carmageddon is visceral, violent, vehicular fun...” - GameSpot 8.8 out of 10
“Carmageddon, to get straight to the point, is one of the best computer games I've ever played… Carmageddon is God!” - Duncan McDonald 95% Classic Award PC Zone Magazine
“Carmageddon is one of those games that only come along once in a blue moon. An essential purchase.” - Escape Magazine 6 out of 6
“The gameplay is spot on and anyone with a dark enough sense of humour should give it a go.” - Computer Gaming World 4 out of 5
“So next time you gun down coppers on GTA VI, just remember, Carmageddon’s controversy was there first, and you have a lot to thank it for.” - RetroGarden
ABOUT STAINLESS GAMES
Stainless was founded in 1994 by Patrick Buckland, a veteran of the games industry going back to the Jurassic period of 1982, and Neil Barnden, who used to have hair like a mammoth. A team of 8 worked on the original Carmageddon at Stainless, and 5 are still with the company today, although a couple of them are now kept manacled in a small padded room in the cellar.
Stainless Games now employs well over fifty mad, dedicated people of assorted gender, height and width. They can all be found dangling precariously from a small chalky rock just off the South Coast of England.
ScreenShots

Yes. There is a Carmageddon for Android. But no XP optimised. Works really choppy (on default clock speed). Now my battery is down so I will check it again later.
Thanks for a link and info (it's free only for a day).

Not XPO as far as I can tell, however you can use the right touchpad to accelerate only, and the left touchpad to swipe to the map and action replay screen. Weird. But seems like a good candidate for optimisation in the future

Yeah I noticed that. If normally (99% of the time) any sort of Xperia Play touchpad support is present, it was ment intentionally as they would of written or started to write framework code for it. I never have seen touchpads work by accident so guess we mite see full optimization in the future

Yes!!!! Excellent port of the original game. Even if it's free, I've paid the no-promo version because it's a good job! Perhaps in a near future, another ports of games.

We don't! However, I'm pretty sure you can cure the lag with this - " [HowTo] Micromax A87 : Partition SD card to use with Link2SD & Swapper 2 (For enabling swap) By Vishal Srivastava " on youtube.
I'm just waiting for my 64GB card to try it out, cause clearly the problem is NOT the proccessor speed nor the GPU (check out the performance of the Mine type of level, i.e. The Pit, where's not many different textures are used.

It's ram, ans hes right, if u use swapper then it's smooth, I'm using it and all background process get swapped and i hav all my ram free for carmagedon so it's smooth,

Can you guys who managed to get Carma to run smooth make a performance video showing FPS? Me buying or not this phone depends on the performance of this game alone.

Hey man, could anyone make a tutorial in how to get Carmageddon to run smooth? I reckon it would get a decent amount of views since everyone in the Carmageddon forums who used the game with the Xperia Play was frustrated at the poor performance. I would appreciate it too cos im a noob (I still have to buy the phone first)
Btw, when I said FPS i was talking about an ingame aplication that shows the ingame FPS like on this video, not the actual video footage (if that makes sense)

Simply use lupus ics/gb ketnel v7 ram with frago xplaystation rom, using no frills set 284min and 1324max with intellidemand2 and deadline.
I know that ils odd but this rom, an ics rom, is better to play carrmageddon than all the gb rom i have test.
Anyway, no lag with this rom/kernel, 100% playable this game is just perfect.

thanks bro, will test,

Any news?
