PSP games look set for Xperia Play

PlayStation Portable games look set for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play smartphone.

Sony is preparing to make a number of announcements regarding PlayStation Suite, designed to bring PlayStation games to Android based portable devices.

Announced early this year, PlayStation Suite is yet to launch. Currently, PS one classics are brought to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play through PlayStation Pocket. There are currently around 10 of these games, including Crash Bandicoot.

Announcements regarding the PlayStation Suite and PlayStation Store becoming directly available to Android devices are imminent.

"Shortly we'll hear a lot more from PlayStation about the evolution of that strategy and how that's going to play out for Xperia Play," Dominic Neil-Dwyer, head of market development at Sony Ericsson, told Eurogamer.

"That's very much for PlayStation to take forward, the announcement, but they made clear back in March they were going to launch PlayStation Store. We're coming towards the end of the year. PlayStation always delivers on its promises. So, you can be sure that's what's going to come.

"What that means, people are going to have to wait and see. But it's going to be about really good quality content."

Sony will hold a press conference at the Tokyo Game Show in a couple of weeks.

Spectral Souls, by HyperDevbox, is an Android port of the 2006 PSP RPG. But many gamers are hopeful that Sony will launch a concerted effort to bring classic PSP games to Xperia Play.

"Put it this way, all formats," Neil-Dwyer teased when asked if this was planned. "We're talking to people from all formats. It's an Android device, which means it's an open eco-system. Minecraft, a PC game, you can bring that in. HyperDevbox was a PSP port brought in. That's maybe what might be confusing for people. It's platform agnostic. We're just collecting great games and great experiences.

"I would definitely say, rest assured, there will be some really great games coming."

Before Xperia Play was released, videos emerged showing PSP games LittleBigPlanet and God of War running on the device. Will these games appear on Xperia Play?

"All I can say around the PlayStation stuff is, PlayStation want to bring great experiences to Xperia Play," Neil-Dwyer said.

"They've got a great catalogue they're working on. They will let people know when."

Us Americans have to hope that Verizon doesn't shaft us and force us to use the VCast store to get this stuff or something. Then I may actually root my phone!
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
The headline is deceiving. Nowhere does he specify anything of the sort of what the headline suggests. The whole Twitter sphere echoed this article mindlessly, though. Annoying...

That's true but the hints do seem to be there from a person very high up at Sony Ericsson, I hope it turns out to be correct!
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Group Hug :D
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
His hints are as vague as they come. What annoys me is Eurogamer's total lack of honesty.

i want to play Tekken 6 to my Xperia play :D
[Xperia Play General] yyz71:
Now that would be pure awesome :)
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
A) There was no videos of the Xperia Play playing LBP or GoW.

b) You will not see PSP games coming to the Xperia Play...

c) ...unless they are specifically ported (not emulated) which is not cheap.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Imagine this was real :D Before i get flamed i know it's not :rolleyes:

[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
You're quite the optimist...someone high up in Sony Ericsson just confirmed that they could port any game onto the Android platform and you're saying that we won't see psp games? he already hinted that we would.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
We already have PSP games on the play :rolleyes:

Age of zombies is a PSP port and so is Spectral souls :D

[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
You won't see PSP games other than those that are ported. You won't see emulation of PSP games on it.

And by the way, "someone high up in Sony Ericsson" is exactly why you shouldn't trust what he said. He probably doesn't even know what PSP is.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
He never said there would be emulated psp games...he said they would be ported....what's wrong with that though? Its still going to be psp games.If they sell well, then they will obviously port more, faster.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
To work in a tech company...one would need to assume that they would know a lot about technology....i'm sure I trust that someone high up at SE knows what he is talking about...at least

I'll take his word for it over some random guy stating his

opinion on forums.
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
As someone that works in the games industry, if you want to believe an executive about tech stuff, be prepared for a lot of broken hearts. A lot of the guys that make these announcements don't actually know anything about what they are talking about, or what is possible. They don't need to know a damn thing about their own products. They often make slipups and say things when they aren't sure. A fine example of that is HDMI out for Xperia Play. All the news sites said that it would have HDMI out because of an exec talking out his ass. So I don't care who you believe, just don't come back here *****ing about the fact that something was "promised" and didn't materialize. :)

When you say "PSP games", people have the expectation that they'll be able to run their ISO dumps of their PSP games on their Xperia Play, just like they did when it was announced that PS1 games would work on the Play.

Having some games ported from PSP is not a bad thing by any means. The only problem is that it means we're only going to see a select few make it whereas emulation would allow us (and them) the ability to run a ton more stuff, which means a lot less people complaining about the lack of content available.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Why is it that I have the feeling that THE flagship playstation phone (xperia play) will see the least playstation and psp game support?
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
You tell us.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Because your pessimistic :D
[Xperia Play General] typikal82:
I don't think PlayStation Suite = PlayStation Store

I bet it's going to just be a market like SlideMe or something, but with PlayStation branded offerings. I really don't see PSP level games being released, maybe iterations of PSP games customized to run on Android, but not the entire library ready to go.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
The Playstation suite will be a web based market IMO. Sony have said that it will not just contain classic games but original content too :)
[Xperia Play General] typikal82:
agreed

I bet Classic games, means the PSone games that are already available on the non-US Android Market

Hopefully, original content means games like LBP or GoW get ported or their own unique iterations on the Android platform. Well here's to hoping. I'm happy to see Suite getting any mention right now.
[Xperia Play General] Evil-Eye:
In the US we barely have any good xperia play games and still ONE PS1 classic. I'm starting to get frustrated with the lack of Sony games on my "Playstation phone". My guess is VZW is doing their usual proprietary BS holdup trying to implement Vcast. Screw Vcast and Verizon mobile TV for that matter.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
There may be some creedence to your theory:

https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Sony+Computer+Entertainment+America

click on any of those games, which are released in the US, but notice how it says "not available on your carrier".

That said, if it is a web based store there is nothing Verizon can do to stop you. The Gameloft and EA Europe web stores work (but the US one doesn't recognize the Xperia play, Verizon or not, for some stupid reason), which is good because the Vcast store has tacked on $1-$2 to some Gameloft games!
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I got flamed for suggesting such a thing. (as well as emulation) but I don't care about emulation if they port the good games like GOW. Which I have beat twice already.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
In theory, We can play PS2 games on our play if ported to native android code. Just look at hot pursuit :D
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I know. you could port PS3 and 360 games as well. They would just be compressed to hell. (Just like they are on the 360 LOL ;) )
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
Is this a joke ?

The game would take more than 20GIgs of memory

heck,the ps3 sometimes runs a 6GB install,plus some Gigs for a savecard,and thats just that.Imagine a whole port.

Its impossible to have this @_@
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Why would it take 20Gigs? If the video and images were redone at the phone res and a lot of work was done to recode it then yes it could be cone. Will they ever do it? No chance.

SD cards can be larger than 20Gigs btw.
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
If this is true, and we're starting to get real good PSP games on our play, but we DON'T get GTA lcd, i will smack this phone with a hammer and go buy me a new LG with those awesome 3D displays.
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
The game could be tremendously LAGGy,almost unplayable.In 10 years im sure they can be experimented.

But Recoding alone cant be done.would take 13Gigs atleast for 1 game.And AFAIK the play can only support upto 32 gig.And all that stuff on your play.
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
That kind of port will never happen as it will take as long to do as making the original game would. All the assets would need to be recreated with extra low-poly counts, entire UI would need to be redesigned, so so much more...

These things aren't simply a "reencode video at lower bitrate and away we go" kinds of projects. There's very little point in taking the time to go through all that work unless it's going to sell *millions*.
[Xperia Play General] cloud1250000:
If you have the source It can be done quickly.. Just convert every function present in the sony sdk to some android native code and that's it (one time work to convert all the game....) Maybe a little part of the code will have to be rewrited but the majority of it should be okay... Then you compile the game...
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
Again, it's nowhere near that simple if you are attempting to do a decent port. Remember, if you are going native Android, you've got to make the game properly deal with all the different screen sizes and color depth. One very tiny example of some of the very major problems with porting games and there's tons and tons more.

By the way, that "convert every function" - even if it were that simple, and it's not - would probably take 6 months or more for anything but the most simple of games.

There is no such thing as an easy port. When you work in games like I do, you'll very quickly see what I'm talking about.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
I don't work in games but as someone who went to school for Computer Science I can totally echo what you are saying right there.

One thing I want to point out though is the screen size and color depth thing. I think this won't be as much of an issue because probably part of the whole "PlayStation Certified" label. I think they standardized certain things to allow for that, which may help a port work on any/all PS certified devices... Just my $.02
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Maybe you are not just a regular random guy.I'm hoping that they will at least port God of war.
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
You'd get PS3 games ported to the xplay in kinda the same manner that the wii gets "ports" of PS3 games: crappily, hacked down, and not worth the time or money.

I would worry about the size as well, but the 20 gig estimate is way to high. But it would be multi-gig for single titles.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Devil may cry 3 is on iPhone...and it's not 20gb
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
Come on, just give us GTA Vice city or something like that and i would never ask for anything more to this phone <3
[Xperia Play General] Simmo3D:
OMG I cant wait!!!!! So glad i just got an Xperia Play
[Android Apps and Games] albert_htc:
Hi

My daughter is forever putting her phone on silent and forgetting to reset it when she's out.

Are there any apps that will do any of the following:

Allow us to track her ?

Make calls from selected numbers ring even if the phone is on silent ?

Any other suggestions ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] albert_htc:
Bad form to reply to myself.

AutoRing looks good:

Auto Ring enables you to put your phone in vibrate or silent mode for that important meeting, but still get emergency calls and texts from people you designate.

Auto Ring lets you white list contacts and phone numbers you want to ring while silencing everyone else. With Auto Ring enabled and your phone in vibrate or silent mode you choose who can break into your important meeting or interrupt your sleep.

[Blade Accessories] korri:
Looks nice! Where can we buy this?
[Blade Accessories] xjarl:
Since the Blade on sale in U.K i think you can buy it somewhere if you are in U.K

And other areas also can get it from Ebay or Amazon. But i don't know the price.

I get it spent about 0.8$.

Can we get any screenshots plz?
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Steal25 and I are working together on the next update, so bear with us. It is gonna be pretty sick. He is a very talented themer, and i wanted to use it to let him show his skills.
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
Are there any mods or themes that will work with this rom?

I shot the maid! What can I say? 3vo shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
There will be some coming, but as of now I'm not sure. It uses chogardjr' base so some made for his ROM may work.
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
Ok thanks I sent steal a pm and asked him aswell.this rom is very fast and smooth i cant wait for some Kernal to release

I shot the maid! What can I say? 3vo shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Remapped rosies!!

Whats up Affliction, glad to see you made the jump to odex! Check out the link in my signature for mods for this ROM. As of now I've got remapped rosies in there after the new version drops I'll be adding more to it. If you guys are looking for a specific mod hit me up and I'll do my best!!

you can also use my theme for CHOs ROM but it doesn't include the zues mod notification drop down, the next version of my theme will.
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
Yeah i really like this rom its very stable i had to get away from viper rom before I got pissed off. I will check out what u got i will wait on the theme I love Zeus. And as always i will be more than happy to test stuff for u. And I don't think I saw screen shots I can post some if needed

I shot the maid! What can I say? 3vo shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] Bondfire:
Hey, so far I'm liking this ROM. Great work. Only thing I see right now is that the charge animation is not working. Is it just me?
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
charge animation works fine for me, whats yours doing?
[HTC EVO 3D] Bondfire:
Well my battery right now is at 73 so when I plug in the charger, the lightning bolt shows up and the curved line only moves a small amount instead of all the way around. Any other ROM I've had with the honeycomb battle, it moves all the way around.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisfales:
Sounds like it's working fine. The small amount is the 27% left to charge. Wait until 99%, you'll barely see it move at all. Hope this helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bondfire:
Nope, that's not it. No matter where my battry is, when i plug it in the only thing I get is the lightning bolt, about 1/3rd of the outer ring only and it only moves about 2 or 3 "clicks" I guess you can call it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bondfire:
I don't know if you take suggestions and I know you make this ROM to your own liking but......... I really like the zues mod but I think it would be cool to have the pulldown look perfectly stock with the recent apps visible and the tabs at the bottom for notifications and quick settings but add the ability to long press on a quick setting to open the settings menu. Just a thought.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
I'm sure its possible, basically just adding the button features to the quick settings. The zues mods are definitely impressive all the work that went into getting it working and then all the work porting it to this device, I still like the simplified systemui with the extended quicksettings. When jdeloach drops the next version It will come with the zues mods and a flashable will be offered for those who like the original version.
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Trying to get the update uploaded, and have now lost power 4 times. We are getting bad weather from the tropical storm, so i don't know if I'll get done uploading tonight.
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
no hurry bro just hope all is well after the storm
[HTC EVO 3D] jdeloach:
Thanks .

Woke up to still no power and a flooded downstairs. Lots of water damage.

The power company said may be without power 3-5 days. This is tough with 4 children.
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
wow that really sucks i hope they can fix it before that.i couldnt imagine how hard it would be with 4 kids and no power
[Android Apps and Games] SOLA_BO:
Are you still envy of the brilliant lock screen of Sense 3.0? Now, as long as your phone is Android system, you will be able to experience the beauty of the lock screen.

Only use one button, you can choose to use this agile lock screen or system default screen.Drag the bottom circle to the top can unlock screen.

This program has a lot of setting options: font, font color, font size, background settings, shortcuts settings, etc., must be well meet your needs.

:D

This program will continuously update . Please suggestions to me at any time.
