Hey there everyone!
I thought about getting the Xperia Arc but before actually deciding to do so I wanted to get clear knowledge on the performance in gaming, and maybe if there's any noticeable difference between that one and the Xperia Play, which I also thought about, but I'm not quite sure about deciding on the controller or the Bravia Engine and Exmor Sensor... both very nice to have actually.
Well, I already know that the Play is good for gaming, but how does the Arc fare? I heard it has a newer Qualcomm CPU in there, but are the 512 MB of RAM (or... what is available of it) any hindrance?
Maybe someone could try out some high(er)-end games?
There are lite versions of:
Raging Thunder 2
GUN BROS
Dungeon Defenders
Crazy Snowboard
on the Market to name a few examples... I'd be really curious as to how the framerates are on the device, perhaps also the emulation capabilites (gameboid and fpse)? Framerates or stutters or something of the sort?
Would be really great to hear some responses!

The Xperia play and Arc have the same CPU and RAM. so what i think is that they both have same horse power.
But it's up to you to make a decision are you gonna use it to play games or you wanna take pictures. OS is the same only the play got the interface to play PS games (or something like that)
I played gun bro's on nexus one that has a older version of CPU&GPU but it could handel it without problems.
here you can compare the two phones > http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3619&idPhone2=3608 you won't see that much difference.
Good luck choosing your phone
Quite right, thanks. My reference website didn't have the Scorpion listed as the Play's CPU.
Do you own one of these? Because even though they have the same horsepower, I don't know about performance in Dungeon Defenders or so, e.g.
The Playstation interface is unnecessary to me since I'd play emulators anyway, but the controller is quite attractive, even though I already got quite used to touchscreen controls on my G3 as well...

Thanks a lot If an Unreal Engine 3 game runs smooth, almost anything else will as well. And, as far as I heard, Play comes with Froyo and not Gingerbread, the Arc is the one with stock Gingerbread.
Think I'll actually go for the arc as the Bravia engine and the design are just tooo tempting! Thanks for the help!
Nice choice and i must say how great the games look on this big sharp screen. Love the screen

No problems viewing angle-wise? Heard some complaints about that. But I already saw the screen myself, a joy really, especially videos and photos.

Heck, then I really have nothing left to complain about! Well makes my decision all that much easier. Just will have to wait till a misty silver one arrives though, think midnight blue looks kinda cheap and is a magnet for fingerprints :/
here're some of the games I've tested.

Some HD games doesn't work. However lag do occur when my phone is syncing with the company exchange server. Expected though. Just make sure to disable internet or data transfer if u want to enjoy lag free mobile gaming.
cheers
Well perhaps we'll get Asphalt 6 to run somehow, and Samurai is not that interesting to me... what about fpse?
Well, what if you try to play dungeon defenders online?
Thanks for the info though!

I couldn't even see Spider-Man or Shrek Kart on the market's website :s
How did you guys get dungeon defenders to work, mine crashes after the intro movie? Did you download over wifi or manually from the website?
i installed it from the market and then downloaded the ontent with wifi and it worked didn't crash. but what i noticed is that the game sometimes lagg but it's not because the cpu ors something it's because the ram it gets really low.

The game was developed with Unreal Engine 3, so no wonder there. Just wondering: what about the random reboots someone reported? Heard they had a connection to the game.
gun bros works a treat, looks great on the arcs screen, dungeon defenders works a treat too, how ever ive seen lag in older games, like this ninja game where u run up walls, it lags when you jump accross walls, also abduction2 lags at times when jumping
ive noticed that games like gun bros and dungeondefenders look really crisp and sharp... yet other games are a bit fuzzy, like they aint optimised for sharp screens
That's because 2D games like Ninjump only have a fixed resolution and can only upscale on high-res displays like the Arc's. 3D Games like DD or Gun Bros can always be rendered at a higher resolution.
Gotta say though that I experienced some lag in Dungeon Defenders with much going on on the screen.
hmmm.. i think if u r looking into gaming capabilities, i saw a very interesting article in the sony ericsson website stating that all xperia 2.3 android will be make psp certified which they claim that even without the keypad, the other android 2.3 xperia will still be able to play psp games with virtual keyboard

Try Lets Golf 2 from the Gameloft website, it works great on the SGS 2
Do you have any issues with any other games?
If not the problem might be compatibillity issue with the game and the MALI400 GPU on the phone.
The game works fine for me too..

Maybe we could keep this over in the existing thread in the Themes and Apps section.

Kazuni, how did you get "let's golf 3" working? All gameloft games say "device not compatiable"
Update: got gameloft games working by editing build.prop to say GT-P7500, best solution ever, change once and don't look back
ouch! good thing i found this topic.
one of the main reason i wanted to get this 7.7 was for entertainment and games
if my existing games, like 90% of all Gameloft tittles are not compatible then there's no point
waiting for their DEV team to release updates takes a long time, and that's from a legit customer that purchased their stuff with the right to complain to them
i know the reason why it says it's not compatible it's due the screen resolution
if we had some sort of hack to make the device switch to 800x480 only for games, and then switch back to normal resolution, then i'm sure we can make all those games work
editing the build.prop and rebooting the phone everytime for a game is too much of a hassle
I edited build.prop to say GT-P7500 for the tab 10.1" with 1280x800 resolution.
You don't need to change it every time. Change it once, then done. All other non gameloft games and apps still work perfectly
Check out Apps section for more info.
Asphalt 6 is working perfectly on my tab...I didn't root or change anything, just installed from market and ran it.

Same here with Asphalt 6 HD except no tilt steering with the accelermeter only touch steering with left thumb on a virtual steering wheel on the screen .
Riptide GP works great and has tilt steering!Great game!
Don't Buy.....EA's Need for Speed/Hot Pursuit as it keeps hanging up during 300mb download,after repeated tries on WiFi and of course it stalls past the 10 minute refund limit on the market. EA's online tech support sucks ass and said they can't give refund or know what's wrong.... so lost $7+ and a couple hours of my life dealing with EA tech.
I bought my new gt-P6810 last week and have had a nightmare trying to get games working. I was starting to think it was a hardware issue but after some searching on the internet I started to realise it was bigger than a bad batch.
I have managed to run most of the gameloft games but they are all tempremental in different degrees.
Dungeon Hunter 2 plays but for no apperent reason only about once every 4 attempts to run. As does need for speed 6. But neither crashes mid game like some games.
Angry birds as already said all 3 versions play fine no problems.
Riptide works fine as does
shine runner.
dungeon defenders second wave plays but crashes randomly at busy times during gameplay. This was leading my to suspect graphics harware problem / overheat?
I turned graphics setting down in options 1 notch and time till crash almost doubles again making wonder if a miss managed graphics driver or harware was to blame.
I was unaware when i purchased mine that it actually had the hong kong firmware and assumed i was buying a Uk market one (bought from Uk online store)
Most basic games that do not require harware graphics to a high degree seem to work in majority. But add 3d like in most gameloft games or those titles already mentioned and it all seems to go to hell.
Odd that the vector unit games riptide and shine runner seem to work fine. I was wondering if they use the open gl base rather than the other one favoured by gameloft and others.
Anyway thanks for the input so far im glad im not alone and I will update as i try new games.
Rekless racing 2 also works on Galaxy Tab 7.7... Anyone please keep sharing compatible games on galaxy tab 7.7

That's odd.
I guess it's just not optimized yet? It should be the fastest phone on the market.
Yes but the software still isn't optimized plus even the fastest phone is still only Atom netbook speeds (which isn't very fast in the larger scheme of things).
