Speculation: PlayStation Phone (Xperia Play) etc won't support PSP games. - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Although after looking at the leaked specs, the Xperia Play seems like it is powerful enough to play PSP games, I really doubt that would be the case.
If you look at the images on the web, this phone is lacking the joy-stick apparent on all PSP modules.
So, I'm speculating that this phone will only support PlayStation 1 games purchased from the PlayStation store, as well as PlayStation Minis instead of playing PSP exclusive titles.

the long touch pad strip on the phone is suppose to simulate the joystick. this is genius in my opinion, the psp only had one, and now this phone will use this multitouch pad so the user can have 2 joysticks... without having 2 joysticks. i dont think the phone will run umd games but im confident it will play downloadable psp games just fine

[Q] Are Sony games interchangable between devices?

I am thinking of buying a Sony S1. I will be buying a Vita, already have a PSP, PS3 and Play.
My questions are about the games; so far I have only bought a few downloadable games from Sony for both the PS3 and PSP.
1. As with Android, can I purchase one game and play the game on multiple devices (I am really just thinking of the Vita and S1)?
2. What games will play on the S1. I have read on this site PSone games. But what about old PS2 games?
3. Are there lots of Sony games available for the S1 or will I struggle to find my old favorites?
Thanks and sorry if some of the questions are vague.
From what I can see it is no different than what you can play on your Play. E.g. a few ps1 games. Almost certain that ps2 games will never be supported. If you have the original ps1 games get fpse and then you can emulate them on the play and s1

GTA3 was originally a PS2 game
1. No, if you buy a game for the tablet s it will not be available on your vita, ps3, etc. Sucks, I know, cause I have multiple devices as well. They have to format/emulate the games differently. Hopefully in the future they'll streamline it, so for now I'm hesitant to purchase too much.
2. Officially I think it's only psone games now, but unofficially you can download emulators from the market that'll run just about anything and some of them will work with the native PS3 controller support as well!
3. There are about 12 in the "official" Sony store with more stated to come. There is, of course, the emulator alternative in the market and that will open up the window to just about whatever you want.
Thanks for all the replies, they have all been very helpful
I am thinking about buying the S1 and wanted to know if integration with Sony games would be a deciding factor.
For me, based on the replies I don't think it will bean important factor in my decision.
It seems that there are not that many games, they are all old and it sounds like I would need to buy multiple copies (or run emulators).
However I am still very tempted by the S1. I particularly like the form factor.
Thanks again
Games bought from PS Store on tablet, 'should' be re-downloadable on other playstation certified devices (Xperia Play, PSVita .etc) From within the PSStore app. It worked for me! I now have 5 free PS1 Games bought on my tablet on my Xperia Play.
To clarify Sony tablet games bought from PS Store should work on PSVita as it is playstation certified and part of the same ecosystem! Hope it helps!

I haven't tried it on my Prime yet, but it looks good on my Samsung Galaxy S3. They probably didn't increase the resolution for the Prime (or any android tablet) once again. We will always play second to Apple when it comes to Gameloft, until game pirating diminishes on Android's end, they are just not willing to put the extra manpower to optimized the game for different android devices.

I wouldnt feel so bad pirating gameloft games if they didnt screw devices over so much. Really, all it takes is a high end version for the big three (tegra, qualcom, and the other one forget the name) for HD devices, another set of reduced graphics for lower end devices, and thats it! Why make a seperate game optimized for each device? I KNOW the tablet version of a game will look good on my prime. Its got the horsepower to play anything you throw at it, even if i have to use chainfire, so why make it so damn difficult for me to play games i know i like? Gameloft is one of the only companies i know of that has problems making games for android, everyone else seems to deal with different devices just fine, making one game version (or sometimes a couple) that work for every device, or sometimes a HD version and a non HD version
No, i have no problem pirating Gameloft games, and if they DO come up with a game that i can buy ONCE and have it work across my multiple high end devices like anything else on the google market then maybe i will change my mind. Until then im not sending them one cent to their online store, especially if its not through google.
Never liked any of gameloft games. Most of their games are just bad clones of other games.

I don't know, but It looks pretty damn good to me and plays great too!
Wtf is wrong with u guys this game is pretty awsome! my only issue is that all game developers aren't including controller compatibility for android which i believe should be a must, as connecting a controller to any android device is the simplest thing ever.

I'm with you on this, and not only gameloft, other companies does that too, shadowgun, fruit ninja, samurai vengeance 2, guerrilla bob, cut the rope and so many other games have a thd version and a regular version, I really hate having to pay twice for the same game just to avoid it seeing awful, I dont really get how dificult could it be to make a game like dead trigger that gets better graphics depending on the hardware

Gameloft even not optimized this game for Tegra 3. Like reflection effect , Motion Blur.
YOU CAN LOOK BETWEEN GALAXY S III (OR OTHER PHONES) AND PRIME , GRAPPHIC MUCH DIFFERENT. YOU CAN'T NOTICED THAT!?
I wait for this game about a month and they even not optimized for our Prime, Like other gameloft games.
If you make some games in Android , you must test your apps on every gpu chips. Why other DEVs can do? You release after iOS for month and you even not fix ANY issues. GAMELOFT sucks.

Does Unreal Engine Games only work for Tegra devices?

I was wondering if these kind of games (developed on the unreal engine) only work for high-end devices with tegra 3? Because I recently download this game, "Dark Meadow" and it force closes. So I want to know if it is possible to run these kind of games on Xperia Phones. I read about Chainfire 3D but the truth is some games doesn't work if you have this driver installed. (And I really didn't see a lot of improvement, so...)
It is possible to play this game Dark Meadow on my Live? And can anyone tell me what Sony smarthpones have Tegra 3? Thanks in advance....
I'm really dissapointed, because the game seems to be good, I was reading that this company "Phosphor Games" also would release a new game called "Horn" which really seems awesome, is like a combination of Zelda and Infinity Blade, but since I couldn't run this game on my phone, I don't think I could run this game when it comes out..... :C
as far as i know sony don't have any phones with a tegra 3 or a quad core processor
in case you got it/bought it from the Play Store, you should report this as an incompatibility issue. But in case you got it from somewhere else, well, you're bound to expect the unexpected haha. Some games work just fine on our Xperias, yet the Store refuses to show them on my phone. 9mm is one of those rare ocassions.
Let's see how this develops, I am worried about gaming support for our devices too.
Yeah I've got it from the Play Store, it's a free app and it says there that my phone is compatible. But I read in other sites that this game is only supported on tegra 3 devices, so I think that's why it didn't work on my phone. I know there are some games that in the Play Store says they aren't compatible with our phones but they are. For example I play Modern Combat 3 on my Live. But I have to modify the build.prop so that it identifies my device as a SK17 which is compatible with almost all gameloft games. I'm worried to about support for our phones because I think in the future there will be a lot of games that need tegra 3 and would be really cool, but maybe we would not be able to enjoy them in our low-end phones.
Exactly. I remember reading an article on the frontpage about the SGSIII running Tegra-exclusive games, which was pretty cool, but I wouldn't hope to see that coming to our devices, let alone running smoothly.
But all games based on the unreal engine are ONLY for tegra devices? Because I also was reading gameloft will release their first unreal engine based game and it would be a shame that we won't be able to play it only because our phones are non-tegra capable.

[Q] Sony S Playstation question [PT]

Hello guys. This is a question that has been bugging me for a while, regarding my Sony S tablet (non Xperia).
When I first bought it I recall it said something in the box about playing Playstation games... and the tablet even has the Playstation logo on the back. It came with a pinball game and Crash bandicoot, which I assume are ran in an emulated PLaystation of sorts that came with the device.
My question, just out of curiousity. How do I get more PS games on the tablet? To run the same way Crash Bandicoot and the pinball game does?
I tried searching for this... assuming there would be some sort of dedicated app store with PS games for the tablet, but I was redirected to an app in the Google Play store that isn't even available in my country (Portugal).
Is it possible that Sony sold their tablets and didn't even care to offer their services properly in some countries... like mine?
PS: I know I can just install a Playstation emulator (like fpse) and download the roms from another website. But I'm curious about the "original" way to do this.
This is just my opinion, but the ps games that were or are available are not all that great. GTA was the best one. I actually just went straight to the nvidia tegra games from the get go. Try tegrazone.com, if you not already have. Just my two cents.

Xperia Z3 Gaming Thread

Hi all,
Coming from the Nexus 5 scene, I'm surprised to find that there isn't a thread dedicated to games on our beloved Z3, seen as it has PlayStation support, how can we not?
I think a list should be compiled for games which people play on the Z3.
Myself, I'm not much of a gamer, but c a new start the list off with:
Dead Trigger 2
Post your findings here, or even pm me and I'll add the games toothed list, you never know you may find some new games along the way.
happy gaming!

In general when I have no controller I'll just play fruit ninja or ngog rong (dragonball online)
Other than that Im not much of a fan of the Android games and i think its because I absolutely hate touch controls. So for me the best thing about this z3 is how easy it is to connect a ds4 controller. Playing asphalt with the controller is a much muchhh better experience than the touch controls. I wish more games were optimized for the ds4. And i hope there's an Xperia play 2 some day.
Remote play is amazing but sony really need to release their bloody game control mount thing.
Also use kainy. The setup took a bit of time but being able to play many pc games through this is also nice. Obviously not as good as remote play but still something good to have.
So I play:
Fruit ninja
Ngok rong(dragonball online)
Asphalt 8 -ds4
Gta sa -ds4
Pc games using Kainy and ds4
Ps4 games using Remote play
I have the Nyko mount (search amazon) for my DS4. Works great.
I also have a MOGA controller, it's a pity Sony didn't map the DS4 to standard HID controls as the MOGA is more compatible with more games. I understand the need for rumble, lightbar, and touchpad in the remote play app, but I wished it switched profiles regardless.
PSA: The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead are both Android games now. TWAU seems to run just fine (a frame drop here or there, but it does no detriment to the gameplay)

Leo's Fortune and just started TWAU.
Might start playing Dead Trigger again now that I can use a DS4.
"The Room" really shines on the Z3. Somehow it looks better than it did on my G3.
Riptide GP2 a really fun JetSki racing game.
Tetris of course
and Leo's fortune
I've been curious about this. Does the DualShock 4 support take the place of the previous DualShock 3 support that previous Xperia Z phones included? Does the DualShock 4 work the same for the games that had DualShock 3 support? If not, is the Z3 still compatible with the DualShock 3?
At one point I had the Sixaxis Controller app on my phone to use one of my old Sixaxis controllers, but I got rid of that when I got a Moga Hero Power since is offered the extra battery and had a built-in clamp. I've been curious if this would be better to stick with instead of trying to pair up a DualShock controller, but the placement of the power and volume buttons has me worried (especially on the Z3 Compact). Those of you with Moga controllers, how well does the Z3 fit with the retention clamp?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Well I guess I found an answer to part of my question. The Z3 is still compatible with the DS3, but pairing still requires a USB-OTG cable. The DS4 can pair wirelessly. This is according to the Z3 Compact's online manual:
http://userguide.sonymobile.com/ref...TV-using-a-DUALSHOCK-wireless-controller.html
I'm still curious whether the DS4 works the same in games that support DS3, but it probably does.
Playing Dead Trigger 2 the most at the moment
Turn down the antialiasing/upsampling/downsampling etc...

Just turning the settings down a little means all PSP games run fine,
and with turbo on PPSSPP using a Sony Xperia Z3.
Currently addicted to Dead Trigger 2, but just started The Room. Have all the emulators currently available of course (Drastic DS is awesome), and Dead Space is amazing with headphones.
