Playstation Suite

Anyone following the Sony liveblog from Engadget? I really recommend you guys check it out, as there are some things being announced which are going to impact Android in amazing ways.
http://www.engadget.com/liveblog/live-from-sonys-tokyo-event/
Update: Basically, Sony just dropped a bombshell that brought an amazing amount of games to Android, obviously to compete against both Windows Phone 7 having Xbox integration and against Apple's formidable App Store. How, UNLIKE Sony to be thinking ahead.

What I am really wondering is if any current generation devices are going to get this. On one hand they say its hardware nuetral, but they also said that they are going to:
perform content quality testing on devices to ensure the quality of playback.

What if this was the new Sprint device being announced on the 7th? I'm crossing my fingers!

Well, IIRC our phone is more powerful than the Xperia Play, so we should have nothing to fear, right?

We need GB! But other than that... I don't see why we wouldn't get it, pending an upgrade to 2.3.

I'm sure we will get it, 2 years from now when the 2.3 update comes out... :/

This has the potential to be enormous for Android, and for handheld gaming in general. The only concerns I have are:
1) The number of handsets that will have access, and if Cyanogenmod will count among them.
2) Piracy. As rampant as it was on the PSP and NDS (and yes, it was rampant), there is no doubt pressure within SCEA to take more advanced measures in combatting it. Android isn't the most securable platform at the moment (see: Netflix), and though I too am weak to 'unlimited' trial periods on games (hah), for this to really drive Android, it NEEDS to be profitable.
Hopefully the cost of games will be more in line with existing digital downloads than with past off-the-shelf prices.

I think it's great the Sony is supporting Android to such a degree. But, the PSX emulator is already out in the market. It's been out for quite some time now. Some of the roms don't work though. Hopefully, with official Sony support, all of the roms will work.

I would buy an official psx emu straigh from sony than anyone made by a third party (I don't mean offense, I have the emulator and enjoy), even though I paid for one already. I'd even buy the games straight from the sony store if they're priced good enough

PSx emulator is not hardware accelerated. You can be sure than an official emulator will be.

Very cool. Hopefully sony also has a controller peripheral in the works as well. Maybe some PS3 integration as too.

+1 to that ..... I'm sure there'll be an unofficial GB 2.3 soon, so we should be able to have if we really want it

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.

am I missing something here?
His evo is able to play a full out, graphic intense game, and stream it on a big screen, yet my phone can't even play a simple racing game without lagging to death.

It's not the EVO that's doing it. All the processing is done on OnLive's servers and it is essentially video being streamed to the EVO. Same thing goes for OnLive's set-top boxes.

HTC has just done something wonderful. I'll probably subscribe to Onlive finally and get me one of the controllers!

Amazon free app of the day.

Not specifically xperia related, but I thought the community here might be interested.
Amazon's free app of the day (9/29/2011) is Symphony of Eternity. It's an RPG in the style of 16 bit greats like Final Fantasy VI. I played a few minutes of it, and it seemed pretty cool.
Get the app store from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011

Where's the link?

It is kinda Xperia related too, since you can use the Xperia PLAY controls for some of it's maneuvering.

You have to get it through the amazon app store, which you can get from Amazon.com.

I bought it. It's the finest RPG you're going to find in the Xperia Play, which is not saying much.

That's far, far from the truth IMO. Eternity isn't even the finest released by kemco since Eve of the Genesis was released. Then there's eternal legacy which has been extremely ambitious and rewarding, then an absolute deluge of quality action rpgs from gamevil. Gailardia brings some classic dragon quest style gaming in the mix, and there's likely even more I could grab from my list when I'm on the full version of this site.
Point is, Xperia PLAY has quite a nice arrangement of RPGs for being as new as it is.

Amazon App Store free app of the day is great.
I've got so many useful apps, paid games and Xplay optimised games for free from it.

Amazon aotd needs a separate voting system to oust the sh*tty apps speedily.

I wish they didn't limit the offer to only US. Anyone knows how to use it from Europe please?

PSP for Tablets

Soz, considering the majority of us having our CPUs overlocked at 1500 mhz, and the new transformer prime; does anyone see it more possible to get a psp emulator going? I'd love to play some Dissidia on my TF.

If you want to play PSP games then buy a PSP.

Oh come on...that's not in the spirit of development! I second a PSP emulator- and any other emulator we can come up with- why not? Why buy a psp? You can't do anything but what a PSP can do with a PSP! lol with the TF you can do whatever a PSP can do, whatever a phone can do, whatever a PC can do, and THEN some..PSP emulator sounds like the perfect idea, I wouldn't pour water on the man's cake just for proposing a PSP emulator! Besides, if he's like me, I just spent all my money on the TF101, how do you propose I buy ANOTHER several-hundred-dollar device? It was just an idea..but I suppose someone was bound to reply that way...

sony's playstation suit when it is released for other devices (should be this year sometime) will have a select number of psp games playable through its official emulator

For one it will probably be Windows Phone (VERY VERY LOW game count) if its for Xbox, and 2 I will never buy another Sony again, "Definitely" if its Windows Phone.
I don't believe that rumour.

Thats funny because I remember when ICS was pulled for the Play and you said that Sonys motto shouldnt be "make.believe" but "dont.believe" and you werent going to buy another Sony product again.......
Anyway, the Play was a failure. An experiment following in the N-Gage footsteps. Apart from all the people in the Play section on XDA and my brother I dont know a single other person with a Play.
Keep dreaming guys

So you cant just buy a USB gamepad? They are just as good as the Play gamepad. I also find it very hard to believe that at 28 years old you cannot buy a console for your home.
Sorry to break it to you but what company would release a follow-up to a commercial failure? Nokia failed on the N-Gage then decided to revamp the N-Gage brand in the N95 series. It FAILED AGAIN. The mobile market is advancing faster than most other things right now so a "gaming optimised" device will only be top-of-the-line for a few months before being surpassed. It reminds me of the PC market. A New PC is outdated the second its made.
People need to drop the "Play 2" thing as its really getting old now.

More than expected? They mustnt have expected to shift very many then. Dont get me wrong, I love the Play but it was still a failure. I remember asking not long after the Play came out in my local Carphone Warehouse store and 3 months after launch they had shifted 1 Play. A similar story can be read here http://m.mobot.net/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-sales-figures
With absolutely piss poor sales there will not be a Play 2 and Sony would have to be absolutely retarded if they made one

Sony is split into different divisions. The Console/Handheld division is the side plagued with idiocy. Removing features from PS3 such as OtherOS install and lack off cross-game chat. The Vita is failing already due to Nintendo pretty much holding monopoly of the market.
The mobile division is doing ok though. I know quite a few happy Xperia series users. Sony were smart not releasing ICS on the Play due to the gamepad messing up. Some people have this thought that they are entitled to every single update that is released by Android. It comes down to peoples stupid buying ideas of buying for what the device can do in the future instead of buying it for what it can do at the time of release.

This thread should be locked, it's complete balderdash and a preconception of the 50/50 obvious. *Nobody* knows if Sony will release another Android gaming phone except for High-up Sony staff, which Mark is *not* in contact with.

Haha so true if theyed stop the bullcrap the could be more of a competitor to nintendo but like you said they just keep up the bull the main problem is there lack of sofware for the hardware. The best example of this is the xperia play aka psm disaster lol psm actually disgusts me now ps1 was ok but what in the flying hell is on there now talk about.

I for one am 25 and a seperate gamepad is out of the question. First off im a delivery driver and bust it out for quick sessions between deliverys, I already have to bring a gps(i go where theres no cell data) a work phone, and my phone. Im not going to carry around another item just to play a quick round IIF I have time. Sometimes I just want to try a save state once or twice literally 20secs.
Same with when I go mountain biking, or snowboarding I already have multiple items I dont want or may not even remember a seperate controller. And I may not have time or even want to get a little emulation time in. Same with surfing if I by chance am waiting in the car, these things are relatable to many other times your outside.
A phone with a slide out is always nthing else to remember, not to mention at 26 and most my friends arent into emulation or gaming really so im not about to start busting put a gamepad and akwardly having my phone clipped or on my lap and pretend its not pretty odd. I would never do that at waiting rooms like the dmv either, I dont mind people know im a gamer but that just seems rediculous to me unless your at home or in a car. Seems like it would draw attention when I for one am trying to chill blend in.
Meanwhile with a slideout it just looks like im texting like a regular person non fanatic gamer.
