Should I buy Shield? - Shield Q&A

Well, I do have a very great steam collection but I dont have the proper pc hardware to stream them to the shield. (Im sure I could through using some app like splashtop gamepad thd) the price, not sure if the shield is really worth the 349$ price tag but then again, ive bought an ipod touch 4g with 32gb for 299.99 which had terribly outdated hardware at release so I dont really have ground there. Im big with emulators and the gamepad makes this phenominal for emulators. If this was rooted and cwm was flashed on, you could possible gain access to the OUYA appstore adding a whole new library of games. Theres many android games I enjoy playing on my nexus 7 such as GTA 3/vice city and shadowgun thd which would be much greater with a gamepad. Is it worth the 349.99 price tag given my position? Pretty much the only down side would be not having pc game access (not natively anyways)

well for me the steam streaming is a big part of why i want one. but i also want one for some other reasons.. such as the amazing amount of power packed into a tegra 4, the fact that i don't already have a tablet, and the fact that nvidia rarely disappoints. (and its just too cool of a device to pass up).
my main concern is that i hope nvidia gets alot of android devs onboard to program there games to the nvidia controller. games such as Ravensword, and asphalt.
don't know if this helps any but just my two cents.

If the android games not optimize for nvidia shield, then you can use the game mapping tool like gamekeyboard from google play store to map the game with the shield controller. Hope this help.

Quite a few android games do support gamepads (have a feeling asphalt might, the GTA games definitely do as do dead trigger and shadow gun) and should work with the shield already.
I'm quite interested in loading a shield up with emulators. Be interesting to see how well dolphin for android works on the tegra 4.

asphalt im almost certain won't have support (not right away anyways). no other gameloft games have gamepad functionality either unless you count support for gameloft's own gamepad. I'm also not sure I need it as I already have a nexus 7 tablet which is suprisingly easy to slip into a pocket. I am a gamer though so I feel the need to be on the cutting edge and even with the 1.7ghz overclock my nexus 7 still feels quite stressed on certain games. Dolphin will definitly be great but i feel it wont flourish on nvidia shield as i believe tegra 4 lacks open gls 3.0 which is something snapdragon has.

I think asphalt already has controller support see in the picture if I'm not mistaken this is built in controller support.

Thats not controller support. Thats tilt control. Completely unrelated.
Although according to google it does support a gamepad

For those that have been digging for a video showcasing the android aspect of the shield.

Here's a nice offer: Tell me the full name for Asphalt as listed in the Play Store, and I'll load it up, tell you how it is.
Also, I'll try loading the Dolphin emulator. I've played a little with emulators on the device, but didn't have much luck with an emulator that would play the one PSOne game I actually had the ISO for (Thrill Kill).

I think it is just asphalt 7 or something like that.
the dolphin team i believe are using super Mario sunshine as a test ISO. However so far no devices have been able to emulate at more than 1/3 speed.

As wrc1010 has posted above, the application game keyboard allows for users to map function for hardware keys.

Not much luck with Asphalt 7, since it crashes on the infamous "Checking License" loop. Trying some hacks to get around it, but it takes a while, plus I actually have *work* to do.

No, bugfixes for Shield.

And sadly, in regards to Dolphin emulator, it doesn't like Super Mario Sunshine at all. It doesn't even load it. I grabbed the only one on the Google Play Store I could find, so it's also possible that I'm not using one that actually *works* with the game. So if others have links to something better (or an APK), be glad to keep trying.

Asphalt 7 does *not* support controller natively.

Did you try out the game keyboard app? I think it allows you to map onscreen commands/gestures to physical input.

No, I just did a test to see if native support was there without having to root or anything else.

I see, if you had an interest in adding gamepad support to games I highly suggest it

I think YES
I think, you should by a Shield. The Tegra 4 is oneof the fastest ARM-CPUs, that are aviable on the Market. For a price of 300$ i definitly would buy it.

Modern Combat 3 is out!!!!! *Xperia Play optimized*

I know GTA 3 i brend new but lets also take a look at Modern Combat 3! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM3HM
Please test and say if it is xperia Play optimized!
MC3 isn't optimized for Xperia Play now.
People, Gamelift doesn't release Xperia Play games on the Market. They're all delivered through the dedicated launcher.
nahhh 9MM is Xperia Play optimized on the Market too.

The 9mm on the market is not optimised for the play. Its just that because it was a play exclusive for a time, the gameloft devs got lazy and didnt remove play controls from the generic android version.

A better way of working that would've been that its not common that a Xperia PLAY optimized gameloft game gets on the market. That's more than likely what Log was gettin at because the majority of Xperia PLAY optimized gameloft games are only accessible from the wapshop.

Sometimes you all are so stupid. If you want something done you have to do it your own. I have it on my Phone and it is completly Xperia Play optimized!!

But what about the people who'd rather legitimately own the game? Does that make them stupid? I, for one, certainly would rather wait for a legit wapshop release than play it like this.
Personally I plan on buying from the market if/when they let me, but until then I'll get by... wish they'd stop with the multiple market crap

I am sorry about that, i didnt mean taht anybody here is stupid at all but i didt like that they all said that it isnt optimized, without having tested it at all. Sorry if i hurt somebodys feeling. What i can say, the game is just awesome. Grafics is fantastic, no lag, controlls are a bit buggy but i think an update will make them better, maybe.
Me too, it sucks. They fell out with Google over market fees and such, wapshop means they get 100%.
Why don't they just release a gameloft app that has in-app billing and you can buy games in it?
Its better than their wapshop which means that people can just redistribute the apk they downloaded.
EDIT: Are the control's as bad as modern combat 2?
Didnt play MC2 i can they that they are mostly like Rainboy Six, but more abilitys, means swicht wepons is dpad left and right, dpad up is run and down is crouch.

No offense taken
I pretty much agree that the game is amazing too. The only thing that pisses me off is that, while the game itself can be reduced to only take 320KB off your phone storage, there's an obligatory 8.80MB of consumption that's marked as data so that it can't be moved to the SD card no matter what. I HATE it when they do that.

I am very glad to say NO
...just as a forenote, the *bad* MC2 controls were based off those ridiculous new versions of the game (1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.0.6) where they put this ****ty simulated analog in that makes the game nigh unplayable. If you got what I like to call the *prime* version (which is oddly numbered v3.3.9) before they started ****in' everything up... then MC2 is actually playable.
MC3 is much closer to controlling like the *prime* version of MC2... or like IE-core said, Rainbow Six - which means the controls are great. Only thing I'd recommend is toning down the sensitivity a tad bit.
Gimme 40min and I'll have a video up.
Unplayable, bad controls

Wait a minute...
I had the updated MC2 (with simulated analogue sticks), I don't know what xperia play they tested it on but it was unplayable.
Just bought from the Market, and it works!
Controls are great, and graphics even put Dead Space to shame.

Heh, I wouldn't be surprised to find that they didn't test it at all.
Anyway, here's the gameplay video (also showing off how it controls):
One thing I'm really glad about is that they finally made the d-pad control auxiliary functions instead of just making it an alternative method of moving the character around. That'll be HUGE help when playing online.
EDIT: And since it was requested elsewhere, might as well post MY IMPRESSIONS here too.
Graphics are amazing. Controls are crap tho
Dead Space and Minecraft had the best controls.
The controls and the graphics are both awesome! Graphics are visibly SHARPER than any game before!

EA's Real Racing 2 works great on the Fire:

Hey everyone, (and Merry Christmas, btw) : first time in this forum for me (I'd bet you're gonna get a huge influx of new users in here, because of Christmas and all.).
Anyway, I got my wife and daughter KFires as gifts, and, though I haven't rooted them yet, I did go ahead and install dropbox on each of them, so I could test out a few apps from my other devices:
One of the first ones I decided to try was Real Racing 2, from Electronic Arts, and it works perfectly, looks amazing...

There are quite a few games that work on Fire that look GORGEOUS but are not included in the Amazon App Store. In no particular order :
1) Earth and Legend. Absolutely beautiful game, looks like a mobile version of WoW. You need to have android market installed for it to work though. Best money I ever spent on a mobile game.
2) Cordy. Another graphically beautiful game. It's fun also AND FREE. Get this ASAP.
3) Sleepy Jack. Beautiful shooter game. Reminds me of that Space Harrier except more cutsey. It's not to pricey either, like 2 bucks.
4) GTAIII. Awesome retro game, runs fine on the Kindle Fire. Chanfire HD recommended for this.
Unconfirmed and untested by me, but I've read on the 'Net that the "HD" games for "Tegra" devices actually run fine on the Kindle Fire if you use Chainfire 3D and the right plugins.
great! thank alot
Anomaly HD is another title with gorgeous graphics that works on the fire with no plugin required
Need help with Real Racing 2
I need help to purchase the Full Version of this Game.
When i try to use the ingame link i´ve got a message that the Android Payment Methode must be used or something like that.
So i now have bought the Game on my LG Optimus Speed, and make a Backup with the Titanium Backup.
Now the Question how can i get the purchased Version into the Fire?

I'm running my KF with CM7.
Real Racing2 is pretty sweet. I ended up buying it cause I liked it so much.
Just finished whole career mode. Now playing Crash Bash via FPse. Very Smooth!
Damn!
The KFire is really a gaming tablet.
Real Racing works smooth! WOOT!
I really do love the way Real Racing plays, but I think the track graphics are 'fuzzy' (or over-aliased). I think the Kindle Fire can do better if they up the sharpness a bit.

I'm on the same page running CM9! Its stuck at 0%
Hey guys, yeah something is up with that. But up the DPI to 240, it'll make your Kindle Fire temporarily a phone lol, but then you can download the game, once it downloads it and runs the game, change your DPI back to 160 so your tablet becomes a tablet again.
I don't know why, but it just can't do the tablet version right now, the phone graphics aren't that bad but I never played the tablet version on the Kindle Fire so maybe they are 10 times better, I mean it's decent enough for me, I think it's still pretty amazing.
kay where is the downloads file? i want to un install it
any way 2 buy full version?
Thanks for posting how to get real racing on my fire. Ready to buy but in-game Buy link has connection error. Any way to buy on my stock Kindle fire?

OUYA Specs:

•1GB RAM
•8GB of internal flash storage
•HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
•WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
•Bluetooth LE 4.0
•USB 2.0 (one)
•Wireless controller with standard controls (two analog sticks, d-pad, eight action buttons, a system button), a touchpad
•Android 4.0
OUYA Price: $99 (yeah!!!)

Actually, I'm really looking forward into this. I always hoped that XPlay would be so popular that it would start a "gaming smartphone competition" between other manufacturers (imagining gaming phones from Samsung or HTC).
If ZTE attracts more popularity with its future gaming phones, let's hope others will start producing same type of phones as well in the future (as Sony said they aren't planning on doing an XPlay 2).
I´m interested in this device. However, i´m sceptical if ZTE does it right. Here in Germany, they only released Low-Budget Smartphones and Tablets with Singlecore. Of course they also announced powerful phones with Tegra 3 but they didn´t say anything about a western release date.
So, i will wait till the next week. If ZTE has something good in the works and they release it in the western market, i will consider it the next time when i buy a new smartphone.:good:
look amazing !!!! i'll buy that
dam sony , i wish sony hear us and make next generation of gameing phone , quad core , regra 3 ...
sony , sony , sony , why never hear our request
I don't want an gaming smartphoone i want an gaming smartphone from sony i just love the idea of playstation phone
wonder if sony has a patent for the xperia play that says only they can have a phone with these buttons or something
Could anyone (ZTE for example here) just come along and make a better phone (processor/GPU/RAM wise) and use the same button scheme? When you think about it, there really isn't anything special about the Play. It's basically a regular Android phone but it just has extra buttons.
@typikal82
Maybe when they participate in the Playstation Certified Program, they can use the official Playstation button layout. Would be awesome if something like that happens!
Don´t know if more companies are interested in making a gaming smartphone since the Xperia Play didn´t sell well.

I think AT MOST, SONY have patent to using the 4 logos on the buttons. There's nothing stopping other companies from using "1,2,3,4", or "A,B,X,Y" or any other button-labeling schemes, and then physically locate the buttons in the same places and allow software mapping to "emulate Xperia PLAY mode".
HOWEVER!! A gaming phone from ZTE will never have as much appeal as Sony, to attract the average game devs to write games for. And most certainly, ZTE don't have a heavy-weight brand like "Playstation" to even start talking to Top-budget game publishers/studios.
But in the end... where the hell is SONY when all this is happening!? Bloody hell, Sony, wake up!
ZTE can use 6 main button (( for example A,B,C,X,Y,Z )) with L,R ,start ,sllect

Maybe because it's about a possible new gaming phone, y'know, like the Play. It could rival the Play if it's true and has good specs, especially since a lot of of people (myself not included) want a Play 2. So it's pretty relevant for us Play owners

I'm interested, but halfway expecting that it'll fall into the pile of barely supported physical controller add-ons that, at best, work with 20% of Xperia Play's games.

But you would need a phone still for day to day, so would it not even out. Plus can't take the console out with you on the move.

Could be great. If it does what the play does and more (and works with all games optimised for the play), I'd be happy. Ive been thinking about my next device (although I'm gonna be sticking with the play for a while) and I'm not too sure cause ive only recently started playing FIFA on my play and love it. Touchscreen gaming is inferior, especially for FIFA as ive figured when trying to play with my tablet. This could be my next phone.....

It's finally here! It took almost a year but the best game of all time it's finally available on Android! Those of you who already have CT on your emulators are probably wondering why you should get this. Well, THIS IS NOT THE SNES VERSION it has all the extra dungeons and re-hauled menu from the DS version.
For those who haven't played it yet and are on the fence due to the price: this is not excitement speaking, this IS the best game of all time. So do yourself a favor and play it. $10 for over 15 hours of gametime plus great replayability is a good deal in my books.

To be honest, this is Square Enix we're talking about. I doubt we'll see a sale anytime soon. I cannot recommend this game enough for you guys. Maybe watch some gameplay videos before you decide.
Is it xperia play optimized?
Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.

Nope. Just like chaos rings. Not full screen and touch screen gaming only. Lame.

Probably you are right, the price wouldn't go down for a little (long?) time, but probably I would buy it because I've liked dragon Quest and I haven't played chrono trigger only because it isn't in italian (yep, I probably can play the game in English, but in italian it is easier for me) and the ios/android version is the only one officially translated
Is this version better than emulating the original Chrono Trigger from PS1 via FPSE?

The original Chrono Trigger is on SNES not PS1! If it is not xperia play optimalised it is not worth buy. Better - buy CT on PS1 and play it using fpse or epsxe. For me (and for many People of the world) is the best jrpg of all time.

Ditto.
It would be worth the £10 if it was optimized for the play, the IOS version was slated so i'm not sure how good this one is going to be. Just emulate the SNES rom
I'd probably try it(at least it came out) but unless buttons are fixed or I get the custom button mapper working(no root) I'll probably stick to the ps1 port via psxperia. I've been reading reviews and apparently, the game doesn't fully download to full game to your phone and requires updates now and then; I guess that is to deter illegal downloading? Also if I do decided to get my phone rooted in the future, does it allow rooted phones to play or has that been blocked too as that seem to be the trend?
After playing it for 2 hours I can confirm that it works on rooted phones. Touchscreen controls are easy to get used to, not a big deal. However, the game does download files from time to time and therefore requires a constant connection to wifi or 3g. ****ty move from Square Enix but I'm not surprised.
If you are passing this one to play the emulated PS1 version, at least do it right and play the SNES one instead. The loading times for battles and menus are atrocious on the PS1 version.

Not to mention you save 500mb on sd just for slightly better music. Snes = 5mb, PSX = approx 500MB
Always thought snes was one of the best choices for emulating on Xperia play as there is no fiddling buttons around (e.g. L2,R2) it's a perfect match to our pad. Also check out SuperGNES has a great UI with cover art.

Well, okay okay, SNesoid it is! The PS1 version did not got any advantages besides the music? I played the Nintendo DS version and there were animated cutscenes in manga style...

On ps1 version there are cutscenes in anime style. But nothing special. Music is same as on snes. DS version has additional quest (as I remember).

Just dropped by to say that I finally beat my replay of this wonderful game. For those who decided to emulate you definitely missed out. The new dungeons are a very nice addition, didn't get the new ending though. Worth every damn penny.
Eh, without the XP gamepad being usable, it sounds like I'm better off sticking with my existing copy of the DS version .
Curious, has anyone tried to run the game without an active connection to either wifi or a cellular network? I'm also not a fan of apps that regularly download in the background, especially if there's the potential for it to need to do this with large files.

I remember the game downloading stuff only at 3 points: when you enter the map on 600 AD for the first time, somewhere in 2300 AD, and after entering the bridge for the 1st time in 600 AD. After that I would just start the game, hit the home button, turn off wifi/data, and keep playing without a problem. I cleared it that way without an issue.

Old post
Looks like Square Enix wants to port some mobile RPG's to PlayStation Vita and what easier way but on the PlayStation Mobile store as less to port.
What does this mean for us? Well I will tell you Xperia Play Optimized classic RPG's from the best of the best that's what.
First off is Chaos Rings which releases in Japan in July (If can read Japanese then it's time to make a Japanese PSN account) kinda hope this will be a world release and not just regional, but a start is a start and hope for more for all in the future

I really don't intend to spoil the fun here, but after having tried a few of these Chaos Rings games I can't see the appeal.
I am of the generation that enjoyed FF VIII, IX and X and also Chrono Cross (but not Trigger) and I find this series incredibly dull. Sorry, just my opinion.

Agreed I have all 3 already but the big picture is that Square Enix is on board with PSM. This means we could finally see Final Fantasy 1/2/3(NDS)/4(NDS) and chono optimized and official for our device too

That's nice - for people who live in a select few countries where Playstation Mobile is available. Where I live - plus I believe many other European countries - Sony just can't be bothered to introduce this service. Well at least we can emulate those games via ePsxe or convert them to PSXPeria.
It's out with controller support for all region's

No one will buy this? are you spoiled for choice on your 2 year+ old device? To me its great news that big games are coming to PSM as this will be the only way to get optimized games for Xperia Play in the future. Developers on Google Play will drop all 2.3 support soon with newer titles, as a small percent of people are still running old Android devices and its extra coding that can be avoided. With PSM Xperia Play optimization is included to all controller supported games as its native code in the PSM SDK so we will still be included for a while yet.
PS. I own the Google Play version from release day and i will be buying this just to play on my Tablet with Dual Shock 3 so their will be at least 1 person buying it
I am seriously considering buying it again so I can play it properly on the big screen with my OUYA.

What's the matter with my XP? I don't understand...
I bought this game on itunes years ago when its first coming, i love it so much so that i bought this again on google play years later to check if it's XPO,but it's not i was so disappointed. After one more year the XPO is coming...
Seems that you wanna me buy it for third time?
SE published this **** for three times for tricking money by unbelievable fuxking speed, the only difference is the gamepad suported, WTF?
AND it's just the first work, very very old one, if omega and 2nd released may be i will consider it for few seconds cause i havn't own them just on android yet
i think all people who loves this game has bought it years ago or android or ios, very few people get wait it for years just gamepad supported version like you or like me ,very few...
If SE has a little conscience, they won't leave the xpo version to psm till now, and if that so the porting work will be much easier.
Awesome! I only have one question. Is it totally fullscreen or will it be letterboxed?

Well the Google play versions are full screen even on my 1080p Xperia Z. I am pretty sure (98%) this will be full screen too.
I am going buy it but need to wait for payday (will confirm when do). Spent tooooo much on apps this month
Can't wait to play it with touchpads fully working
