I was browsing through xda... then I saw you thread title. My expression: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Will it be free?
Good news regardless ;-)

Any ideas how much it will cost?

Why would it be free?
I believe it's going to be $7.

WOOHOO I was sitting there like 40-minutes try'na make the downloads of the demo/beta work but NONE of them work
Theres nothing like being in Teh Sandbox (Afghan') with your SA80 next to you hoggin' up the Computers at the CompCafe playing Minecraft.. Now I can do it out in teh field. THIS IS what the SolarPoweredMonkey is for. Not charging a friggin iPod!!

Hell I'd be ballzy enough to buy it and stick it on a download site/email it to people.. Rooted Phone FTW..
So glad I decided to go with teh Play now. Although.. I saw the Video months before I got the Play (Even though it was PINGCHAT! & iPlayer that made me give my Dad the Wildfire and get this!)

7$... but I'm sure it'll be free on teh internetz in a few days.

Hell ANYONE running a Rooted Play could put it up ASLONG as they dont need login or have a licence file.. because then people will be trying to hack that to be free too!
There ARE free launchers of MC out there anyhow.. So maybe someone will make an aftermarket launcher thats free based off the paid one? just as with Windows?
I run it on Linux normally (On teh Toshiba laptop) and Windows from USBstick normally (With "PocketLauncher" etc)

Im guessing they will charge you to buy the app unlike the PC business model where you just buy a premium account.
I wouldnt be too happy about paying for the game again. If its just classic mode without multiplayer then I will give it a pass. if it does have multiplayer then I may change my mind

Guys, if you want more good games on the Play, pirating the biggest game to come to it isn't going to help. Just means we'll get less games that will support it. Just put down a few bucks and show your support.
As far as I know, the game will evolve just like the PC version had over the years.

Totally agree with you zerojay, theres no reason to justify pirating games, especially from indie developers.

At long last, Android has something like Rolando... and it's Xperia Play Optimized!

I usually don't geek over these little pick up and play type games, but Rolando 2 happens to be the one and only game from iPhone that's A) Worth playing, and B) has (well... had) no Android counterpart.

Got the tilt controls and everything so I can have the best of both worlds!

Its very buggy...

Umm...who denied that? All my post noted was that most of whats worth playing on iOS typically ends up on android. You've misread something if you think I meant iOS has nothing worth playing.
Sent from my R800i using XDA

looks pretty cool. thanks for the share

Any other feedback on the game?
Doesn't look anything like Rolando, especially the incredible Rolando 2 (correctly identified as one of iOS' best games!, althoguh they get hundreds worth playing we don't )
I'll download and install when I am home this afternoon and post some feedback

It's buggy as hell !

It's crap.
Tried it, could not figure out what was so great about collecting coins, uninstalled.
Its only redeeming quality is that it's free, so it will only cost you your time if you want to try it.

Two comments about how buggy it is.. maybe I'll just install it and wait till there's an update before testing!
Edit: Just saw the above - will avoid.
Comparing a crap game to the amazing Rolando 2, tut tut! Is the OP the developer?

Nah, I wouldn't have let it slide in it's current state.
And people... remember that my props were for it's concept only. Check my Play Store review (from before I even posted this) and you'll see that I even cited that the game had some probs that needed to be sorted out.

Looks more like Bounce On 1. Would love Bounce on 2 to be released on Xperia play

Gimme LocoRoco and I'll be happy. That's never going to happen, though.

Hey, I'm the developer of StarRaider. I know it is not the greatest game ever, its buggy and seriously s**t from a code perspective. I will probably make it ad free soon, call it "beta", add some promised features and just leave it be. I understand that some of you people will find it crap, but when I started working on it, I was a noob in android development. Those 7 months of development taught me many things, so any future games will be much better. I still appreciate the feedback

Avadon: The Black Fortress

I know this game is not Xperia PLAY optimized, but I have emailed the developer and asked if they have plans to add it to the game in a later update. I even linked them to the "Optimize Your Game" tab from TLRtheory's website xperiaplaygamer.net
Anyway just in case people want to see it here is the game in question, check out the reviews......

thank you soo much ! it could be so nice , n64 with touchpad support . keep forward man

I realize it's for tablets predominately. But still thought it would not hurt to email the developer. I figure it can one of three ways. One... no reply. Two.... reply but a no on the game for our phone. Three yes we will support your phone e.

No surprise here, this was the reply to my email.
"Thank you for your interest in Avadon: The Black Fortress. Avadon is designed for tablets with screens at least 6.5" large and minimum 950px by 550px resolution, and currently there are no Xperia devices (that we know of) which fit these requirements. If an Xperia tablet is released and we receive further user requests to support Xperia controls, we'll consider implementing this feature. At this time there are no plans to do so, however"
Thanks again!

I have the game for my Transformer Prime and the text would be too small to display on lower res screens.
To add support they would have to re-design large portions of the game...
The game is really well made, though. I would have loved to be able to play it on my Play.

Rebel Attack II - This screams for touchpad/d-pad support.

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.
Market Link:

That would be cool...this game looks really good and is the first star wars game I've seen for android that is this good looking and in.3D
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

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.

Thanks

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
Sent from my R800x using xda premium

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.

Yup, it has been yanked. I agree... he wasted his time. However though the game was pretty fun to playm too bad no xperia play support. And now it will never happen fo obvious reasons.

Oh, too bad it was pulled. But if you still have the apk use GameKeyboard or USB/BT Joypad Center.

N-Gage Emulaor - Request to .EMU developer

I emailed Robert Broglia who is the awesome developer of so many .EMUs on Google PLAY store about a possible N-Gage emulator. I realize the phone was horrible but it did have a few gems, Glimerati, Asphalt (yes the same as we have now), and of course the three reasons to own an N-Gage Ashen, Elder Scrolls Travels: ShadowKey, Requiem of Hell.
Yes, I owned an N-Gage and at the time enjoyed it, but for those games above alone this phone was worth it. If anyone is interested in this possiblity please email Robert at the address below and ak/encourage him with support for this. I think it would be kind of cool to play N-Gage games on our Xperia PLAY seeing as how both phones were touted as gaming phones.. obviously the PLAY is much much better contender for that title then the N-Gage... anyways please contact him if this is something that you would like, you never know what might happen.
And for those who think this is a stupid thread that is your opinion and you are entitled to it same as myself and others are...... but if you dont like this thread keep it clean and on topic in a positive light, I DO NOT want this thread to go down as a "trash the N-Gage" thread. Thank you.

Any new systems sound good to me . Personally I would like an Atari jaguar emu as that's possible on Androids today. Also hope he adds 32x to his MD.emu

Excellent idea. I loved my N-Gage regardless of what people thought of the phone side of it. My favourite games were ashen, pandemonium and Colin McRae.
On another note, I was looking for a gameplay video of ashen a year or so on youtube for reminiscing purposes when I discovered ashens videos, which now take up most of my time when I sit at my computer!

Just a thought though. The N-Gage was a portrait screen which will be quite small on the play if we were to use gamepad

I thought about that as well... the portrait screen.. perhaps if its reated Robert could add in screen stretching..... it may not look right but perhaps having the option in place for users to decide.....
Also, if a Sega 32 & Sega CD (working) were released..... Silpheed (SCD,) Lunar (SCD), Knuckles Chaotix (32x) Shadow Squadron (32x)

such a good request ...
i'm with you , i love emulators more and more than gameloft games .
can you please send a mail about NDS emulator to them ?

Despite the ridiculing the 32x received, I loved mine. I got Virtua Fighter for Xmas the year it came out and I remember waking at about 4am Xmas morning and playing it for about 6 hours straight!!!
There were some other games that were good as well. Star Wars Arcade and Stellar Assault I enjoyed, and although the fighting wasnt great, Cosmic Carnage was really impressive with its scaling effects! And dont forget Doom!!!

Hey guys - you efforts are nice - but did you ever think about:
- That .EMU dev ist the real developer of the emulators he provides - according to his HP he just ported them to android using his Imagine-Engine.
- Developing an emulator for a single person takes AGES if there is no former work or knowledge on it.
- Did he even answer to your request? Like: "lets see how many people are interested in? Or do you just call up to spam that guy heavy?
- A short google search on an n-gage emu - doesn't bring up much (might be cause the n-gage was a big fail) - at least no former open-sourced emulators (ok I just spent 5min on it - so i might have overlooked one). So even if you spam this guy heavily - he propably can't do it.
I know - you didn't mean it that way - but please be sure to have some conversation with a dev before you call up for a spam session in a big and open forum.

I have been searching for over a year keeping an eye out for an n-gage emulator with no luck. And as such I decided to contact the Dev for the .EMU series of emulators in hopess that he would be interested in it as a possibility or at the least he may know of someone who may or may not be able to help. When I created this thread it was my intent to get others who would be interested in an emulator as a means of genereating interest and contacting the dev above. I know you probably didnt mean it to sound that way but I do not appreciate the words "spam session" as this is not my intent.
When I think of an idea or find something that I feel others may enjoy I like to share it, this is simply nothing more then an idea in hopes that if contacted with the right individuals would turn into something more. So please be cautious of just slapping "spam session" on something.
Now.... lets turn this back to the thread on topic. If others may find or think of another developer to contact please bring it up. Thank you.

Apparently there WAS an Ngage emulator for Symbian called N-Gage Cool back around 2005, but the developers site and all sites hosting it have long since stopped working. I found one working link to it on an emulator website, lets just say it was a paradise, but it has gotten nothing but terrible reviews and claims of being a virus. Regardless, there is a precedent for a mobile Ngage emulator.

Thats the N-Gage 2.0 where it was a software platform designed to run on different Nokia phones. I had that on my old Nokia N-95 8gb a few years back. What I am referring to is the N-Gage phone from 2003/2004.
Edit: Or did you mean ngageman? The old emu from 2007 for newer nokia/symbian phones?
