04 March, 2011
As we reported yesterday, the guys behind the Havok physics engine teamed up with Sony Ericsson to provide better gaming experience for Android users. Today an interesting video demonstrating the...

    The PSP only had 333mhz, I think the Xperia Play will do fine graphics and performance wise. This phone hasn't been released yet, so its like saying a book is crap before it even came out.

      AnonD-730, 04 Mar 2011The graphics are epic fail for a designed gaming phone.So just because the graphics aren't your to your standard it's going to fail? Yeah right. The Nintendo DS has outsold Sony PSP for years and their graphics aren't as good as PSP. If you want graphics you're better off carrying your T.V and games console everywhere you go haha.

        AnonD-252, 05 Mar 2011LG Optimus 2X (and any of all phones with Adreno 205 gpu or... moreNot really. There will be exclusive games for the Xperia play. I do also wonder how will the games work properly for the GS II and Optimus having no special controls like the L1 and R1. That will be so ugly and uncomfortable if you'll have virtual keys even for those dedicated buttons.


        Also, in the gaming industry, hardwares are only second to product support. No matter how good the hardware is and if there's no good games for it then it's a fail indeed. Just look at the current Psp or 3DS.

                            I think my name should the respect which this phone deserves.I also love apple because what ever they write on their spec sheet they mean it, not like samsung,LG or motorolla that GingerBread does not support dual core and they put that kind of processor in their phone to make people fool,and all above them i do't like the fucking people who only see the spec sheet and began to love the phones...i think they should go for china phones on which camera 12 MP is written and they produce 2MP quality snaps.

                              I'll be glad if it can come anywhere near "Unreal engine 3" & its implementation. Been playing "Infinity Blade" on iPhone3GS & its amazing.
                              Pretty sure, such breakthrough's will help/benefit gaming on mobile platforms a great deal.

                                I hope it improves, I really do but isn't the release date like end of March ? So lets se how much it does till then and we can judge it better. I "failed" the current state of the engine ! its a present tense comment ! when it delivers I will happily applaude it.

                                I just hate to see ipod touch having better graphics than android gaming device, u cant imagine how much I hate that.

                                Period.

                                  Dual core phones will be of no use because currently there is no support for it and it dose not seem to happen very soon either.
                                  Using single core CPU's keeps the cost down. Wait till you hear the prices of those dual core phones (read skyhigh).
                                  I really like the new Xperia range. I used to be a fan of Sony Ericsson phones (read first walkman phones) but they became pathetic over time. I hope these new phones changes everything.

                                    If your honest and you claim that you don't hate Sony that there is no reason judging the phone as a fail while it's not released.

                                    The phone will be supported by many huge game companies which shows you that the device has what it takes to perform flawlessly, otherwise trust me these companies would not even touch it. Let's stop with all the dual core nonsense because Google themselves and also gsmarena informed us that the current versions of android only support one core! Yes only one.

                                    So for the meantime the dual core is just a gimmick to make the phone look more shiny nothing more, but in the real world u can't even get full advantage of it.

                                    For now keep in mind that the xperia play is still a proto-type, just wait till it hit the shelves and get the support it needs and you will see wonders!! This will be the #1 gaming device in the whole industry, mark my words.

                                    Other phones are pretty cool, but since non of them use real physical buttons for gaming they will always lack the real entertainment gaming is all about.

                                    Enough said!

                                      Anyway, this is just a demonstration of the physics engine, graphics doesn't have to be amazing.
                                      The phone looks good by the way, but I won't buy it if it comes with a LCD screen.

                                        of course the graphics will be bad on this demo since the focus is the Physics engine.

                                        even the havok(ATI/AMD) and PhysX(nvidia) physics demo in the PC shows similar graphics(bare and simple colors), but it does not mean that PC graphics sucks.

                                        again, this is a Physics engine demo and not a demo to showcase the GPU/unit graphics power (but personally, i think Xperia Play should have used a more beefier GPU)
