YARS: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play - Hands on impressions

I was lucky enough to get to test out the new Xperia Play. Did it live up to expectations or is this going to be the history of NGage repeating itself?

"However I will say that it is very disappointing sliding out the controller, to have nothing happen on screen"

it has already been confirmed that sliding the gamepad out will launch the playstation pocket app but the article does mention that this isnt final software

as for the rest of the article...it condenses to "it should have been released 3 years ago" as well as a N gage reference,

i agree it should have come earlier but N-gage comparisons are just used by lazy people who want to find faults, seriously, look at why the n-gage failed and you will see why comparisons are foolish

all i will say is this, the article assumes certain groups would just buy there corresponding device

casual - 3DS
NGP - hardcore
phone guys - iphone or android

its not taking into account that android + gaming = potential success, this devices BIG selling point is it can appeal to two groups at once

IMO SONY has revolutionized the way phone games will be played. I long waited for a phone with a controller style setup. I might not get this however because the NGP has caught my interest and won't let go. If NGP has Skype, which it most likely will, I won't even need a phone so much anymore. I have a cheap cell phone that does all I need it to do. Music and calls.

I think the PSP was weird in itself. I mean the tech was cool and all with the UmD, but Sony often pushes its own media with their consoles and doesn't always find success. The memory stick duo was and is expensive as hell.

brettnll3535d ago

I agree. What a weird idea lol. Seems like they were mainly just trying to be unique.

parentsbasement3534d ago

I wouldn't call any of that "weird"....the book thing maybe...

brettnll3534d ago

It's not always the device that's the weird part. Could also be the timing (PSP Go) and the lack of marketing (PSTV). Makes you really wonder what was the point of following through with releasing these things. Xperia phone could have been something special, then Sony didn't fully support it. WHY!? lol. Just weird.

Wonderbook is weird, but that easy platinum though!

WitWolfy3534d ago

I cant get over this dudes comb over.

brettnll3534d ago

Comb over? Never heard that before lol =]

I used to own a psp..first 1000 then 2000 then 3000 then after that I had a psp go and then I finally got a ps vita brand new..then lost that and the later in the year or month got a new used version of the Vita...so the journey has been really out there for me for the systems I used to own..all of them were great in there own special way..

The Top 8 Android Phones of 2013 | The Hardcore Gamer’s Guide to Android Phones

Even as the power of mobile devices is outpacing Moore’s Law, and graphics power seems to double every year, it’s a sad fact that phones simply aren’t marketed toward gamers. Walk into a phone store and ask a rep about a phone’s CPU. If you’re lucky, they might tell you how many cores it has, but getting a real idea about a phone’s performance is going to require some independent research. Even then, not everything is equal. Chips grouped under the same family are sometimes radically different on the inside, and even a savvy shopper might be surprised to find his phone comes up short. We’re here to cut through the nonsense and give you some straight talk about which phones are best when games matter most.

For anyone using iOS, I suggest you try the stock android experience offered with the nexus 4. I used to prefer iOS but android has more customization and very recently competitive build quality.
