Told you guys...sending them a email now to please fix.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TehJoeker:
There is an option in the settings for gamepad configuration, however, the Xperia Play's gamepad doesn't seem to work with that. Doesn't matter anyway, as others have said, it doesn't even get past the loading screen :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Guys and gals whoever has a Xperia device please contact them at contact@madfingergames.com

I was so looking forward to playing this today.

It's silly that they didn't test Xperia devices :silly:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I have already emailed them specifically asking that they add support for Xperia PLAY. And dont forget to thank them for all the kick@ss games they have made thus far.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
I find it absolutely disgusting that they didn't test our devices. I have been bugging the **** out of them on facebook for a week now about xperia play along with some other users and they finally said yesterday "Xperia play - we are trying ... some issues... back to coding,,". What The ****. Sounds like they flat out lied to me and others on facebook
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I have a feeling that the Xperia PLAY's touchpads were an after thought. Give it a week, I am sure they will release one for our phone
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
Oh don't get me wrong, it was very clear that they originally didn't intend to support the device. They would answer questions related to other devices and ignored the many users that harassed them about Play support. I think they finally realized that there's still a market for games on the Xperia Play and decided at the last minute to add support. But to say what they said and then claim that the app hasn't been tested seems really fishy to me. I got the refund and hopefully others do and voice their opinion both here, on facebook, and in their inbox so others can be aware of the issue and so Madfinger can get their act together.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Yeah, that does sound a little fishy. But you know what. I am a patient man, I have emailed them and will wait and see what happens. We have waited this long, whats a few more days.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
I may buy it anyway on my A500 even though I probably won't even play on there, just bc its only 99 cents and our luck the price will go up once the play controls are released.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
Good point, I'm just a bit of an activist when it comes to crap like this. Patience is great but I think its VERY important that word gets out when there are big issues like this because if they sell a bunch of copies for the Xperia Play and people miss their refund window and their app gets rated 5 stars by every other phone even though people haven't had time to play more than a level or 2, we will never see the game fixed for our device. So for now, I'm gonna flood every source I can and then start being patient knowing that I've stopped a few sales from wrongly going their way :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I was about to refund it but htought the same. Thought i read somewhere that it will eventually go up to 2.99. So I figured why not just keep it, then if and when it updates to support our phone it will auto update
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
The game doesn't seem amazingly good on my transformer 300. It works well (would seriously benefit with Xperia gamepad support) but seems a bit easy. It crashed after a while so haven't played much yet
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] RBFesquire:
I blame SwiftKey×

×may be a lie.

Sent from my HTC One X
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Same here was gonna refund but thought that they will update it so that it works on Xperia devices.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
jgregoryj1 crosses fingers.... Xperia support....
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
Why the hell would they fix it if everyone buys it anyway? Don't get me wrong I understand where you're coming from but if everyone had that same attitude then there would be no incentive to fix the problems. IAP's should make them a bit more attentive to their product and its playability but even still its a little unsettling to think they will be making money off Xperia Play users today.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Just thought I would add, that when I bought the game the Xperia PLAY was listed as compatible but now it is no longer compatible for our phone. Huh..... and in regards to brianchase. I would hope that by us showing support but informing them of how we feel this would encourage them to want to resolve the issue and release it for our phone as well. Dont get me wrong I agree with what your saying but I also believe you have to give some leeway, after all madfingergames has been really good to us Xperia PLAY users up till now, and prompt with patches/fixes.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
Well technically, since the game features IAP's you're most likely right. Just in case though, I'll play bad cop
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Fair enough. :laugh:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
They'll definitely fix our Xperia problems.

They won't let us down !
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
And.....BOOM goes the dynamite
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
lol. You've emailed them right concerning the issue ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
Lets face it, our device is considered old and outdated as far as Android and the mobile industry goes. At some point we will stop getting support and that point may have been today as far as Madfinger is concerned. I do believe in them as a company but I wouldn't be surprised if our issues were ignored either. If you've been following the ****-steam on facebook you can tell they only planned to support xperia play after constant badgering by myself and a few other incredibly dedicated play users. At this point I would demand it wherever possible, upvote xperia play reviews on the play link and if you review it yourself don't give it 4 stars in good faith even though it doesn't work (like some jackass did). Its up to us to drum up support for the xperia play and prove its still a viable phone to develop for from a financial standpoint. Think politics, the Jewish (yeah I'm going to take **** for even bringing up religion and politics but hear me out) population is very small in the United States but politicians go far out of their way to court their vote. This is because they are a loud group that is willing to throw their money around. Us Xperia Play users could take a lesson from the Jews, hell our device can probably make it another year or two if we did :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Of course, 2 minutes after realizing there was no Xperia PLAY support.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
yep I see it too, you can no longer download on Xperia PLAY
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Is it ? can't download it on Xperia PLAY anymore ? that would mean that they're most probably be updating it :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] CapNM77:
Same here. Not compatible with my device anymore. I'm a patient person thank God!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Hate to rain on your parade, but basically when you upload an app theres a console called the Developer Console that allows you to pick out which devices, countries, carriers, and Android versions (among other things) your app will work with. More than likely, to prevent PLAY users from downloading it and continuing to complain, someone from Madfinger went in and unchecked all the versions of the R800.

Gonna probably take a bit longer, if it even happens.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Figuers....eh guess it means more waiting.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Man...took a look though the Dead Trigger reviews... lol, it was NOT pretty! I noticed two things though.

1) We're some EVIL mfs when we don't get our support :P

2) People that get a sip of that Xperia Play-aid are resilient to settle for anything below that milestone Xperia Play set. No matter how awesome the game looks, ****ty touch controls on a game that begs for better can drag down the overall package to a point in which we're furious. Could be seen as intimidating for a developer.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Sort of hoping they omtimize it and stick it back up on the play store. I hope it happens considering both of their other game are optimized.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
I hate to say it but I don't think 1 star reviews and "fvck madfinger" or whoever else the developer is helps the cause. Theres nothing on their websites or anything that ever indicated that this game was gonna be Xperia Play Optimized, just an assumption based on their last 2 games. In fact I don't think they would have been so quick to lock out the PLAY if that didn't happen. :rolleyes:

Fact is, they very well may have just solved the problem (by just locking out the R800), and we may never see any optimization for this game. That said, these guys seem to care about their art, and the players, so I have faith they won't let us down.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
I'm still quite amazed they didn't after getting such positive reception from the Shadowgun crowd. I'd have a super-huge ego from knowing one update brought my game from absolutely chaotic aiming to something that beat everything Gameloft ever released.

I wonder if it at least has external controller support... then I could at least hook it up to my 9.7in Kyros, HDMI-out it and sit back with my Logitech PS3 controller.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Yeah, same here. I bought shadowgun yesterday, but haven't had a chance to play it because the area I'm currently in has crappy wifi and my data connection stops downloading the data after getting the first file.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
This morning I remembered it still showed compatible with R800i, but was too sleepy to download. The minute I wake up, it says it isn't compatible and it doesn't even appear on the Google Play app. E-mailed them already, TWICE.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
I was looking at their twitter feed and they said something about 20%..VAT :(....What is VAT?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
value added tax?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Sure hope not....especially when Madfinger didnt test ANY of the sony ericsson devices....unless its for IAPs.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
So I downloaded it on my A500, its pretty sick, but I honestly suck at playing with the touch screen. I got my ass kicked by the first bunch of Zombies and then I gave p because its late.

I hope they add Xperia Play controls and put it out for our device. It is screaming for it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] CapNM77:
I can't believe some of the ratings on the game. People are telling xplay users to stfu and we should have bought a better phone's. Ridiculous what about all the one stars from HTC phones.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
First of all, I agree, **** madfinger + one star review does not help our cause. They deserve one star if we pay for an app and it does not work but we should be somewhat polite and list our problems (no matter how clear they have been made) within our review, at least to keep from other people flaming us and our device. My review simply said "phone crashes after long loading" or something to that extent. What made me ****ing sick to my stomach was the asshole that gave a 4 star review even though the app didn't work. The aggregate score of an app affects its sales and you should have no issue giving an app one star if the game does not work at all even though they allowed you to pay for it.

As far as people hating and flaming us goes, its kind of like Tegra or iOS. Tegra and iOS get tons of exclusives even though plenty of devices are stronger and it bothers the **** out of people. I can't say I blame them but there is a reason to make exclusives for Xperia Play; Xperia Play is a gaming device. Tegra 3 may work as a gaming device but people also buy it if they want the fastest browsing experience or the fastest processor to load documents and ****, of course this isn't true and is a part of Nvidia's marketing scheme but Xperia Play users bought their device to game. ****, do these people know how many texts I miss from playing games on my phone? Its a tradeoff but at least it makes sense why we get (or used to get) special attention.

Anyways we should continue being evil mother****ers, it sure as hell beats giving 4 stars in good faith. I'm with the HTC users, we got cheated and we should be pissed, if they fix it in the future there's always an edit button.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] caoscorp:
FK-YEAH"=)(/#$ agree my friend :good::good::good::good:

All so pay for the Dead Trigger game for xplay and dont work.

GooglePLAY says its no compatible LOL :eek::eek:

for real , WTF with games on ANDROID ?

and the company's, they are playing with us...

Unfortunately Nvidia is taking all exclusivity in video games on Android and other companies are not doing anything.

As you know the Power VR chip, Snapdragon.

Snapdragon just made ​​a demo of 5m to teach you can do.

AND ? wheres the game ???? FULL GAME :eek:

So way still buying a limit equipment (video chip)

Just buy NVidia Android Devices.

And FFK all video chips

I hate NVIDIA :mad::mad::mad::mad:

ATI WTF with youuuuu LOL

Sorry my English im Mexican :D

FK Technology :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

:cowboy:Xperia PLAY OWNER:cowboy:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Haha... well said. Well said.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
I don't think we should blame mad finger too much. If they eventually add Xperia play support, that'd be great. But for the other people, they got the app to the market fast and didn't wait for us Xperia play users. Delays for testing on the xplay would annoy others
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gazz_d:
Just got an email back from madfinger stating:

"Im sorry there are currently no plans to release this on xperia play due to its hardware limitations"

Doesn't look good... although this on the nexus 7 using the xperia play as a Wii u esque controller would rival zombiU (zombU or what ever it's called)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AudioCreaper:
well that killed it. Sad, we're getting less and less support.

Sent from my Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] faisaldante:
My email said that our hardware has its limitation
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gazz_d:
No point in making good looking games if you have your thumbs take up 2/3 the screen
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Agreed. What I don't understand is that Shadowgun is more graphically intense so how come Dead Trigger wont work on Xperia PLAY ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
this is really ****ty.. so what now, we're left out? even if i had the money to buy 10 s3's I won't buy even 1, nothing can beat built-in hardware gaming controls...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
After playing this game i think its due down to the speed. This game runs high FPS (frames per second) its fast but also does hold the graphics end up. Shadowgun was Slower and smoother and that's why could run on lower end device's.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Anybody else's BS detector sounding? Something about this being initially compatible with Xperia Play before they quick-disabled it makes me feel like this game's running fine on our hardware, and they just don't wanna add real controls to it. Gonna force an APK trick real quick to see if I can confirm this or not.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Well that sucks. That means any game madfingergames releases won't work on Xperia PLAY :eek:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
I'm 50/50 on this being true or they just want us to shut up and get out of their hair. Either way, it doesn't look good.

It does have controller support, through ICS's built in controller scheme which we have seen that the Xperia Play controller does not work 100% with. This is what it may come down to. They do need to cater to the majority.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
You don't know how bad I wanted to play this game !

So disappointed !

Just counting on the devs now to come up with a miracle and fix it.

BTW anybody tried this on Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc or Arc S ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] datswhy:
1st was mass effect infiltrator from EA, then the Amazing Spiderman from Gameloft, and now, Dead Trigger from Madfinger, what da hell is going on ??

the only one phone dat have a hardware for playing all of those games, cant play it to da fullest..

and we sure, they can do it, it proved by their previous games

and how the hell they are not doing it now ??

okay, maybe it just my selfish opinion, they were developers, they have their rite to do what they want..

majority beat down minority, how sad..

sorry for my bad english
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
*goes back enjoying it on iPad*
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] w4lkm4n:
what the hell . . .mutherf@cker . . . .if can play on Xperia PLAY as same can't play too on XPERIA 2011 device !!

and once again . . .

first SONY dissapoint with ICS update ,gameloft changes for failoft ,now madfinger !!

who's NXT !! (Next) !:good:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Well, I can confirm now that the "hardware limitations" reason they gave is complete and total bull****... but I decided to see just how deep their lie went. So I busted out my old-as-dirt Xperia X10 (older generation snap, significantly crappier GPU... I only keep it around because I think the design is sexy :p) and guess what? This OLD ASS XPERIA X10 runs it perfectly... needless to say, Xperia Play is a shoo-in.

What I don't get is why Madfinger would deliberately lie to us after getting so much positive feedback on their previous Xperia Play releases. It's working well enough on my tablet+USB controller, but I really would rather not lug all that around if I could just play it with my Xperia Play's gamepad.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Damn skippy. Thats brutal line. But I agree whole heartedly, hands down flat agree. Anyone thinking of making this above quote and brianchase an ambassador in regards to the dead trigger issue and email this quote to madfinger games? Don't think it would help but hinder.... brianchase you have written a slam that is epic. Applaud......
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
I emailed madfingergames today regarding what is happening with the Xperia PLAY and this is what I got back from them :

'There is a major bug in Adreno 205 gpu. We are trying to pinpoint the

issue and fix it '

So what does it mean......?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
That's a little more positive. Just a thought.... in regards to the comments from madfinger games aboutblimited hardware for our phone. I think people do forget here that most xperia play users probably never hack/mod their phones like we do. Increasing performance through root and bloat removal, overclock better kernel, etc. I can't help but wonder what regular non techies users felt when they try to play demanding graphical games..... and if they play smooth or laggy. Just food for thought
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
This is a good point to bring up, but on the opposite side, I'd been getting prime performance out of my Xperia Play on the pure out-of-the-box experience. No mods, no custom roms, no chainfire, no nothin (mostly because I was afraid of losing saves for my games and didn't feel like going through titanium backup hell), so it's not always a case of Xperia Play only holding up in our eyes because we're mod-happy enough to get things normal users wouldn't get. The given experience left little for me to complain about... I'm just recently giving TrueAncestor a shot, and I probably wouldn't have done that either if they didn't charm me with high memory availability.

Now that's what I like to hear :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Yeah man I know. Now we know They ARE doing something about it.

But what I think is that they might be having a problem optimising it for the Xperia PLAY.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
And yet there other two games are optimized...I was finaly

Ly able to play shadowgun after downloading the files for 4 hours using my 3g.

Eh at least they are trying...they aren't totally leaving us in the dirt
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Yeah as previous users and I have said. They're not that kinda company that would just leave something. They'll try their upmost best to fix the problem.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Strife182:
When they replied saying that the game was not compatible due to its hardware limitations they're basically saying they don't gain a lot of money for the extra work they need to do to get it optimized for they Xperia Play. We're a second thought for Android developers and for Sony we're not even in their thoughts because we're the Play is a very small market. So you guys better have a lot of patience and time to beg developers to include Xperia Play controls in their future games.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Not really. They must have made loads on Shadowgun and that was Xperia PLAY optimised so no reason why they wouldn't make this optimised.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Strife182:
Ohh I'm pretty sure they made loads on Shadowgun but I don't know how much of that was from Xperia Play purchases do you have that information?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
That could mean lots of things Ram, Graphics drivers (they have admitted to the Adreno issue) or touch pads. It is not to hard to program the touch pads as they are a big firm not a back room XDA dev. Once they have made the basic code for pads (Shadowgun and Samari contain this) its is not hard for them at all to port to there newest games. Look at Gameloft games there controls seam they are made with a Buildbot, every game since there first play game contains some level of pad use. At the end of the day i believe it to be power issues over controls.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] IE-coRe:
But the iPhone 4 has enough power... with its ****ty powervr535 wich is way worse than our adreno 205

Gesendet von meinem Xperia Play mit Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Strife182:
Could be the Adreno 205 issue since X10 uses Adreno 200 but it's silly that an old GPU doesn't have the same bug. As for touch pad support, I don't know, if it were that easy as you say then why don't all games that run on XPlay have them? EA has the code for NBA Jam, Gameloft has it from NOVA 3, why Mass Effect or Asphalt 7/Spider Man lack touch pad support? I honestly don't think its that simple, cause if it were, then all developers are making a bad business decisions since they are letting out a market, although small, out.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Mass Effect was not made in mined for Xperia Play or lots of on screen button controls. They tried to be smart with how that game could be controlled by touchscreen.

Asphalt 7/Spider Man do have touch pad support. Broken on Spiderman (Spider will be out for play soon, appeared by mistake in the launcher the other night) but sometimes work as they should and i swear Asphalt had them when tried. But that is a Beta version with lots missing.

Sony have provided Dev's with instruction on how to implement Touchpads. Only some devs choose to included them in there games. If you go to the general XDA play section you will find a tut on how to do yourself provided by the maker of Zues Arena (Back room dev). It is not hard to included them into games and as i said once you have made the basic code. including them in your newest title is very simple.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
If they do release a version for the play I hope they do it based on TOUCHpad and not freaking analog stick style like the current shadowgun has...unless its easy to fix back to touchpad style and not analog style
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] xtnsion:
How do you guys played the game, on my play i got stuck on loading screen after selecting first level and the only way to quit is to remove battery
