Recently I've been addicted to rainbow 6 multiplayer on my xperia play. I've noticed that I have a much easier time aiming and headshots then other players... Chances are they are gaming on a regular touchsphone, scrambling to aim at me but die before they can shoot.
At a record of 1887 to 817 deaths, it's safe to say because of the keypad advantage, I am better then other players. How are you guys coping with fps??? I was never good at fps but I get records like 100-26 with 42 kills being headshots

I would also like to add that I am extremely happy with this phone, for the simple fact that it's for gamers.. Casual or not the gamepad really enriches the experience... It's sad that sony releases this when they are struggling and don't promote or back it properly... If it was samsung that released it, I'm sure it will dominate the entire cellphone gaming market

Ya they definitely released it at the wrong time, or atleast should of worked more on the release games...but i think its a fantastic phone, the gamepad is beautiful, playing first person shooters against any touch screen players does put you a step ahead, i personal like nova 2 never really enjoyed the modern combat, felt really awkward to play. Probably the best part of the phone is being able to play ANY emulator on your phone at perfect speed with a proper gamepad, doesnt get much better than that! Personally loving the playstation emulator and snes! - Kes

Owning on rainbow 6 is good fun
Im very disapointed in the way gameloft have applied the right touch pad, all they have done is use it to emulate screen swipes, i dont understand why they cannot use it to emulate an analogue stick like they do with the left one! Like on battle bears

Yea the emulators are awesome on it. I can't imagine people playing Mario 64 on just touchscreen... It must be very hard and awkward to use the Z bottom... I mapped mine to L2, so it's awesome

I find it much easier to swipe scroll like what they do now. It makes it easier and faster to turn while giving you perfect accuracy for precision when needed

Faster? I don't find that. If the guy is behind you then you have to swipe a lot of times. By then you are as good as dead.

This.
Swipe look is rubbish. It's the one and only thing that ruins fps's enjoyability on the Xperia Play for me at the moment.
Unfortunately Gameloft is only FPS option at the moment. Just like the Ipad 2. They make all these grand promises of great games like Infinity blade yet there hasn’t been any games like it since.
Edit: Has anyone tried Modern Warfare 2?
You guys are screwed the new PSP is on its way and it stole all marketing from the play. Actually the play had a great buzz as far as the web goes but that's as far as it went.

Not really "screwed" just getting the phone for gamepad emulators is already worth it.

You are right but I did buy the phone for more. I was hoping for PSP games like God Of War. If it doesn't get any more support I may switch back to my 3GS and give this one to my daughter to play games on.
Finally got around to playing Rainbow 6 (great that it was free!).
Seems like top fun online.
Went in blind, straight into multiplayer not know controls etc and managed 11 kills and 12 deaths on the Play. That might not seem good, but it's good for me in an FPS.
Also turned the horrid music off, made it feel a bit like Counterstrike...how good would that be on Android btw?
Can see myself playing Rainbow 6 a lot now.

The PSVita and the XPlay are two entirely different devices. The Xplay replaces your phone, ergo you have it on you at all time. It's not a gaming beast like the PSVita, but the battery lasts all day, you can do all your phone stuff on it, and when you are in the mood for games there are a myriad of choices and they all play awesome because you have physical buttons rather than just a touch screen.
The PSVita is great for places where you actually plan to bring it. Like flights, ferry rides, etc

I only bought the phone for emulators originally. I didnt even care about the playstation store. All i wanted to do was play some snes/megadrive/mame games on my telephone. You can not play these games on touchscreen only. Totally uncontrollable.
Didnt even know gameloft were porting to the xperia play. Got alot more than i bargained for. Some (Most?) Gameloft games are very awesome.
Being able to play mobile phone games and even browse the internet with the control pad is way better and more fun than any touch screen only on the market atm.

You Serious? My 3GS with it's tiny screen is gathering dust.
The Play has had much better support than I thought it would, just GameLoft games have been keeping me busy. Its only been out two months give it time.
Okay, my goal was to play ps2, gamecube, wii or any pc game on the xperia play. And I knew that can't be done via emulation... BUT you can do that via streaming(local or internet)
here's the result of my test via internet streaming:

I don't really get why people try SO hard to play cool PC games on their XP via internet. This way only works on WIFI, so why da F would you rather play a good pc game on your xperia play? Instead of playing it on your computer like it supposed to be? I can see if it would work on 3g, but as we all know, 3g is no way near fast enough to stream a good quality game to our Xperia play.
So, if you CAN'T play a good quality pc game like lets say GTA 4 over 3g (with team viewer, onLive or other ways), then i'm not interested.
nice try either way dude. Not trying to bast your balls or nothing like that.
I'm so sorry, but I think that playing like this is a bit dumb.
I mean, you can only play via wifi (via 3g? lol no), and as seen on the video, you have to stay near the wifi device that outputs the signal for playing without lag, so in that case, I find smarter to play the game on the PC instead on a mobile after having to open a program on the PC and another on the Xplay.

Does it really matter? It's the same f-ing thing in the end? What i'm talking about is WHY for THE LOVE F GOD would you rather play a good PC game on your phone instead of your PC? :S I don't care if the app is made for just mirroring the pc screen or made for gaming, you won't be able to play it via 3g anyway so why even bother?
The ONLY reason i can see this would be cool if you got some friends over and you be like "Hey! I can play call of duty on my phone hahaha you can't!" and your pals will be like "ok.. but it looks like it lags like ****, and why is call of duty running on your pc? plus, can you play it anywhere". You answer "Well.. no but you.." and your friends says "HAH! .. then it's gay as ****".
That's exactly how it is.. bro. Prove me wrong.

I use OnLive on my laptop with no lag so why should it lag on my phone. Also why would i need 3G? I have WiFi at home and when im out i'm very rarely in a position to say oooh why don't i play a game on my phone. You seem to think OnLive just mirrors a desktop it's nothing like that. They even have there own OnLive consoles out now
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Yeah onlive is a totally different thing than this. HTC (afaik) spend 40 mill $ on this project and they're gonna bring it to smartphones and tablets in Q1 2012 where you can actually play games with a controller and hook it up to your tv (if the device got hdmi, wich those devices released with onlive will have). You've got a brand new console, a mobile one i might ad. I do see the point in onlive.

Dude, i know what OnLive is. But you still don't see my point do you?
Why would you wanna play a PC game on your phone? Instead of your computer like it's supposed to be? XP is a phone that also is made as an portable gaming device. But this isn't going to work. 3G network isn't fast enough to run good games in perfect speed (prove me wrong). So even IF it would work to play games on our play, we still would have to play via WIFI. And if that was the case, i would still rather play the game on my xbox or my pc. Not on a tiny ass phone.
The day someone will come up to me with their play and show me that they can play lets say GTA 4 (over 3G of course), then I'll be interested. But as it looks now? No thank you..

So you take your PC everywhere do you? The world is full of free WiFi hotspots, every coffee shop, every mc donalds blah blah blah. The fact i'll be able to play all my OnLive games while i'm on holiday or staying at family members makes it worth it for me imo. With all my data and saves already there stored in the cloud. Epic

Lol no ****, I don't see how this other dude is even arguing against OnLive in any way. During a typical day in my life I am covered by Wi-Fi about 95% of the time. The only time I really don't have WiFi is when I'm driving, which obviously I won't be playing Just Cause 2 while I'm operating a vehicle.
OnLive is probably the absolute best possible thing that could happen to the Xperia play. Now not only will we be able to play every game pre-PS2 era, but we'll get access to just about every major release going forward into the future. How could you possibly not be excited about this? Also, the smaller the screen being outputted to, the better OnLive looks/works. It will require far less bandwidth for a smooth experience on the Xplay and look much better than on a 23'' monitor/HDTV.
Another huge plus - since console are such hot **** nowadays, most games are designed with a gamepad in mind now, so controlling them on the XPlay won't be a complete nightmare.
Bottom line, we'll be playing Deus Ex:HR on our phones within a couple of months, if this thing gets released on time.
ok i don't know what world u guys living in that you got time to sit at mc donalds and play games? :S Don't you have any work or some important stuff to do?
When I'm outside, i work or hang out with friends, not with my phone on a random coffee shop playing call of duty.

Lol so you post on an XDA forum for the Xperia Play - a cell phone that doubles as a portable video game "console." You obviously enjoy the device. So you're going to sit there and tell me that you only play games on your phone when you're at home, where you don't have the ability to "enjoy your life and your friends?"
WTF are you talking about? Why would you have this phone if you didn't enjoy gaming on the go? How is adding more games to the library at all something anyone would not want?! You baffle me, sir!

You're wrong sir I DO enjoy games. I play small games, like one race of Asphalt on a break. Or 5 minutes Muffin knight or something like that. But i don't wanna jump in max 5 minutes only to play Call of duty or something like that. IF i wanna play a serious game, i want to play it for minimum 45 minutes, and i don't have 45 minutes free when i'm not at home. That's what I mean. You get it?
Anyone with a nexus 7 install the Spider-man game?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mdhbWVsb2Z0LmFuZHJvaWQuQU5NUC5HbG9mdEFNSE0iXQ..
wondering if it might be worth $7 of my $25 credit....
That is a good question.... Good news is that the game is optimized for Tegra 3, so it should hopefully work. You never know with Gameloft though.
I have it on both my iPad and my One X and can confidently say that it is a complete turd of a game. It was very obviously rushed just to capitalize on the release of the movie.

Spiderman for the consoles is different, besides the Amazing Spiderman.
Spiderman runs great on my Galaxy S3. No issues at all. Game is not all that bad. I kinda like it but after some time it feel kinda of repetitive which is true with any spiderman game. I still like the game though but 6.99 is actually a bit steep.
Not big fan of spider man games on any device.

I installed it and it runs good but the game isn't worth $7 IMO
I bought it on my G-Note, and wasn't impressed. Every mission was pretty much the same. Swing around, find group of thugs, beat up group of thugs, repeat. Maybe things get a little more varied as the game progresses, but 5 or 6 missions that were pretty the same was enough for me. I didn't think it was worth the over 1gb of space it takes up.

What other things have people said about your Play?
AW: What Do Other People Think Of Your Play?
This phone has for other people mostly a nerd, gamer and no-life factor
Well a lot of people like the gamepad. When you mention games like GTA, some peoples interest increases. Through all the tweaks and various great work of the developers on here, my phone runs quite smooth and handles well meaning it isn't really trashed for being old and outdated. It does lag or slow down sometimes but i guess that's to be expected. Some just call it a "PSP phone"

One time someone was even thinking that it can run every game from PSP, not tech guy tho
Some people are whining about outdated hardware, but when I ask them what can their phone do which mine can't they can't really say and they always play games which don't even need sd data
Other people say that not many games are optimised for it, I ask for example and then after they hear that almost every example is optimised they shut up
Other people agree with me that it's the best phone for gaming.
My Best Friends are bit jealous of 4 different roms of any choice (gb, ics, jb) but they don't play as hard as I do on phone even though they agree that it is a good phone.
Overall opinion is poor but after I slide the game pad people realise what it is and mostly they change their opinion to good/very good.

Everyone that asks me what phone do I have, after I open the slider, they realize that no matter what phone they have, just looks like a toy (with expensive/unnecessary gadgets to accomplish what the integrated gamepad of the XPlay does) in front of my Xperia Play.
In my country/area there are a generalized gaming culture, so that's the cause of this reaction.
Yeah, never missing that person that thinks it can run PSP games (although thanks to PPSSPP maybe in the future, at least struggling), the form factor deceives anyone

In my case... my friends say it's a dead phone... coz nowadays you can find better things for the same price...

The Nexus 4, which is one of the best phones you can buy is $300 dollars.
Most of them are jealous, even though they say "I don't play with my phone". Of course not. Playing with touchscreen is horrible...

Strangely enough; it always goes like this:
"is that an xperia? Who still uses xperia phones?"
::slides out game pad, loads up Dead Space::
"WHAT?! THAT IS AMAZING! WHERE DO I GET ONE?!"

LOL... they just tell me... Why do I need that gamepad... I can use my PS3 controller... pfff... I imagine them with a PS3 gamepad on their pockets XD
My sis thinks its cool and she almost bought one for herself but went with Neo instead (because she didnt want to have the same phone as I did)
Yeah, surprisingly many people get excited when they see GTA 3 on it, few people wanted to go even more indepth than games and appearance (like specs)
Also before I had bought my XPlay, some cellphone store worker was interested about XPlay when we asked did they have any (they only had Arc), he said its a shame they are not selling it because he would have loved to try it out or even buy it. This was way after XPlay's retail release, like 6 months afterwards so he was genuinely interested about it.
On top of the one I said, a Common one is that its a Brick!

Hahahaha yep.
Person: *starts up an SNES, NES, or Genesis emulator* "Wow, this is really cool! I want one"
Me: "I know right!"
Person: *starts up any 3D game made in the last year*
Xperia Play: *plays game at 10FPS*
Person: This phone $#@'in sucks!
Me: "I know right"
That's why it's up on eBay, hoping it can go to someone who can enjoy it more than I did.

Unless you really need the money, I would keep the phone. It's really a one of a kind.
I remember the first time I took my PLAY out of the box.. it was so beautiful, I simply couldn't put it down. Whenever I pick this phone up again and just look at it, I still get that feeling of how special it is. I own quite a few 'nice' phones, but none of them give me that sensation of awesomeness that the Xperia Play does. That's why I will never part with it.

Really? Because all the recent notable Play Store releases from Modern Combat 4, Aralon, Scaresoul, ME: Infiltrator, Dark Knight Rises, NOVA 3, Dead Trigger, Repulze all the way up to Bladeslinger runs like a dream on Xperia Play, and there's been topics dedicated to Xperia Play running current-gen games with extraordinary performance.
What'd YOU do to your Xperia Play to get current games running at 10FPS?
I got a stock ROM without as much as Chainfire, and Xperia Play handles 'em like they were made for it.
A brilliant game, awesome graphics and great gameplay! You must play this if you have a note 2
How to get this?
Search for it on google play store.
I agree, great game
This game is ruined by how unbalanced it is to play, read some reviews. You need to spend a lot of real world money to get anywhere as it relies on a lot of in-app purchases.
Yupe in app purchasing just ruins the game, but then again most free games do come with a catch.

Does this sync up with the iOS version so any purchases made and progress made carry across? Thankyou.

Game is nice ... but unfortunately most game features are baid :crying:.
I've been playing this for quite some time now and yes, you do have in-app purchases. It's totally optional as to what you'd like to spend. But either ways, come on guys....this is console quality graphics for your handheld with multi million dollar budgets spent on development - of course they expect to make some money back! But you do have the option if you want to spend or not If you dont think the game is worth spending, then dont! But trust me guys, with RR3....it's so damn justified!
Give it a shot, you've got nothing to lose
Nfs mw the best racing game xD

I hate to spoil the party, but when I play on the note 2, it immediately becomes apparent how much better the ios version is on a retina device. The graphics look TERRIBLE on the Note 2 and absolutely stunning on my ipad.

720p phone GPU vs a 1500p iPad with a tri or quadcore powerVR GPU. Not exactly fair game.

I didn't say it would be, but the difference is quite noticeable.

The real problem is: Developers simple made it nicer on Apple devices. Simple fact.
I know it might sound strange for some, but that's the truth.
The current SOC of the Note 2 would be able to run this game equal to the IOS counterpart, but developers did not bother to adjust/polish/optimize the game for the top android devices.
That's very common these days

when you said android devices, did you know how many are they? and when you said apple devices, how many are they? so it is easy to develop a perfect game for apple(dont need for me to explain more)

total agree with what u saying, ive been playing it for 3 days now and its incredible to be honest, some of the cars are expensive and so far ive had to redo races to get more R$ to buy a car . . but hey . . . its kept me interested, i think the only downside to this game is the fact that i dont think you can just have a proper season of racing like 16 races over X amount of laps for points etc etc . . and also you cant actually race against friends in real time multiplayer . . but other than that is brilliant! 8/10
