I already own an Xperia Sola, and an Xperia Ray, but none of them have really good gaming performace. My question is:
What is the best phone for hardcore gaming? (by hardcore gaming I mean Modern Combat 4, GTA Vice City, and all the newest games on highest settings)
- The phone musn't be a whale (preferably Xperia sola size, no phablets please! For me the ideal screen size is around 4 inches)
- Price is NOT a problem
- Preferably NOT Samsung (I hate those crappy iPhone clones)
Thanks in advance, ChongWiz

Obviously the "best" phone is a matter of opinion. Those games need a lot of memory and processing power. I'd recommend playing a high frame rate racing game like Need For Speed. Racing games have a lot of frames to render per second since its constantly moving.
I'd get at least a phone with a quad-core processor, and 2GB of memory. . . AT LEAST that much. Since your not a Samsung fan (like myself), I'd recommend the LG Optimus G, which I'm biased to because I own it. I own all the games listed above and NOT ONCE, have I had frame rate issues, glitches, or stutters.

Hey guys/girls! So basically i had the Galaxy Note for some time now and really enjoyed the experience, however sold the Note in order to start saving up for a new phone. So i got around $475 and will be able to save up some more for a new phone. Here is what i want to know:
Should i go for the Xperia S or Galaxy Nexus? [Note: Looking for good lag free performance and good gaming performance]
If you recommend this please give your insight on the outdated hardware and whether the Adreno 220 GPU and the Snapdragon S3 CPU are will be able to cope up with the new demands of the future. If you own an Xperia S then please tell me how games like NOVA 3 work and wheter you face any lag or hicups in usage? Also please tell me about the ICS performance and does it make a large difference?
I have tested many games on my Xperia S and before starting anything, I just alert you that I have never played games on mobile phones before; so this is my first experience with mobile games. I always played PS3 and 360 so I am fond of console type performance maybe which is not available on ANY other mobile phone, I dont know.
HD Games which run very smooth on my device is: Asphalt 6 (I don't feel great graphics as in videos though, is it only me?), Shadowgun, Need for speed Hot Pursuit, Virtua Tennis, Adventure of Tintin, Samurai Vengeance, Battlefield 2, PES 2012(Haven't tested fifa 12) and Max Payne.
Now games which I feel does not work good: Modern combat 3 - I feel it lags or maybe low framerate, Ultimate Spiderman - not good graphics, Dead Trigger (This game only has problem with some Xperia S - probably will be fixed soon), GTA 3 - Lags sometimes.
The most interesting point is recently I downloaded Dark Knight Rises which is not available in play store, and made by same Gameloft as Ultimate Spiderman and it works VERY great. High graphics and good gameplay. Then why did they don't enable high graphics for Ultimate Spiderman ? - If we try to do this manually to enable high graphics on Spiderman, it does not work smooth
The point is I don't think our device is not capable of these games, but how developer make it compatible. When I was purchasing this mobile I know I would find some problems with the device in terms of gaming but I want a better phone overall i.e Unique Design, performance.
You won't get THD games, like Shadowgun THD, Fruit Ninja THD, in Dead Trigger some effects would be disabled. Some game devs make games high definition games for Tegra Devices only - you can search play store for THD.
Also you can see Youtube, players playing THD games with THD graphics on there adreno phones. You need to search on google for finding THD games for all devices apk though. See this video, Dead Trigger works with Tegra graphics on Xperia S. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDZN0dV-RJU (Game dev will not gurantee smoothness for this if you play THD games on Xperia S lol)
So in conclusion, if you only want Gaming Device get Galaxy S3, S2 or maybe HTC One X. S2 was most popular phone so most probably games are already tested on S2. But If you are willing to play games on your console and PC and in spare time on Mobile then I would recommend Xperia S - No Phone can compete with our LED Bar
Hi
I have a rooted Xperia s, and the game works so bad
Very laggy and slow,
Any idea why?
yeah, SONY XPERIA S has a very poor graphic CARD sadly, you can only play all games on low graphics.
But next time you know when you buy a PHONE just check the graphic card(all games on iPhone 4 are above XSX on graphics..an SXS has a better graphic card).
So there is nothing I can do?
Changing Rom and kernel will do any good in that case?
Never had this issue, running on stock .50
Any one alse have that issue?
So, I have a question first, but I think this thread will be to talk about this PSP emulator and games which working on our MDPI devices. My question: are You tried this emulator? Some games working? And if some games working, tell us which game it was. Cheers

I haven't had the time to try how well PPSSPP works on our devices (I've tried SNES, PSX, Nintendo 64 emulators and they work great as far as I've tested them), my guess would be that any game that requires data install (such as MGS Peace WAlker, Monster HUnter etc) isn't going to work.

I tried Gran Turismo, Starts without a problem but after the GT logo, it crashed :/ I have only tested GTA Liberty City stories and GT.
GTA lagged a lot giving only 8-9fps.

Seriously bro?
I have tryed Persona 3 portable on my Xperia mini pro Stock GB ROM and it runs perfect until fight, but I think it's 35-40+VPS I don't remember now on ICS 4.0.4 STOCK ROM (4.1.B.0.587) It runs much slower about 30VPS- on fights...
I have great news that Persona 3 Poratable runs almost perfect and realy smooth on Xperia mini pro using "MIUI Life 2.4.20 Final Clean & Fast" this ROM based on GB.
Shows 30FPS alays I think it's max and important thing on PPSSPP is VPS which I get in battle 45-60VPS realy jumping, but then I overlocked at Min cpu 806MHz and Max cpu 1516MHz it's runs 55-60VPS realy good and smooth, but sometimes jumping lower tha 55VPS for one sec.
When I can I try more games and add info here..!

Hmmm..there no need to overclock your phone that high just to play one games...there another way to do it.....
1, Make sure the PSP games is on ISO format not CSO....ISO is PSP pure game format while CSO is compress to make the games size smaller....playing ISO will make the games run smoother than CSO...the bad thing about ISO is it take too much storage on your SD card...example Pesona 3 in ISO format the games is 1Gb while in CSO fromat its only 778mb...
2. Make sure you have at least 120mb or RAMs before you start the games...use any task manager to kill unwanted running app before you playe those games....

I know that need to kill apps befor starting the PPSSPP emu, I realized that when start to play Persona 3 without killing apps it's been slow and laggy, after killing apps It runs almost perfect 50-60VPS, but didn't know that ISO is better than CSO format so thanks:good:
By the way my Persona 3 Portable is ISO "1.23GB".
I tryed Dragonball Z Shin Budokai.cso so It runs slow about 25-30VPS, but very smooth. So now I need to find to download and try Dragonball Z Shin Budokai.ISO version which is not compresed.

Hmm...i have tested most of the PSP games in both format (ISO and CSO) and yes Dragonball Z Shin Budokai in ISO work smoother than CSO....CSO have a different kind of compression...its from 1 to 9 where 1 is the worse compression, 5 is the middle and 9 is the best compression....
Fine :victory: , many games works perfectly
It depends on the game. Let's take God of War: Chains of Olympus. The PSP's clock is set to 222 MHz by default, but God of War was the first game to exceed that and hit the maximum, which is 333 MHz. There's this thing called a custom firmware which would allow the adjusting of the clock speed, which would otherwise be prohibited on an original firmware, in which case, the frequency was determined by the game itself. Theoretically, our phones should be able to run the games spec-wise - it all drops down to the coding of the emulator.
Anyway, use games that are in ISO format for faster reading speed. As for your phone, use Gingerbread for better results. I'm using a custom GB ROM with LuPus kernel. 134 ~ 1018 MHz, interactive/sio.
So San Andreas is out in December and I was wondering if our beloved S2 can play it. It's kind of my all-time favourite game and i was hoping i could refresh some old memories. With 1 gb of RAM and a decent processor it should just about make the cut...Can anyone help me with any tricks, maybe some kernels to flash or overclocking which can cause a considerable boost in gaming performance or will siyah or dorimanx not have much of an effect...I know that benchmarks are not always conclusive but I can just about manage to get barely playable framerates on dead trigger 2 high graphics with stock cm 10.2 while i could play it only on low graphics on the stock ROM...This is the first game in which i have experienced any performance issues while modern combat 4, gta 3 and vice city, nfs most wanted, pvz 2, angry birds, fifa 14 etc run like a dream...Any tips for squeezing that last bit of performance and battery life would be greatly appreciated...

can you give me fps for dead trigger 2? and what rom plus kernel?
btw san andreas have • Enhanced for the iPhone 5 series and iPad 4th Gen and above with dynamic detailed shadows and real-time environmental reflections.
now we look to other game that do kind of this enhancement too, ravensword shadowland. on our device shadowland run on full effect like 4s/ipad 2 but without the enhancement for iphone 5/ipad 4.
if your curious what the enhancement look like just see ravensword shadowland on iphone 5/ipad 4 on youtube. On the first five minutes of game play, you will meet a big troll. Now on S2 the troll body texture is the same as ipad2/4s while on iphone 5 it have better texture.
It depend on the setting itself, maybe on android full effect setting only have same effect like 4s/ipad 2 or maybe can run on high setting but without shadow.
btw sky gambler air supremacy on our device does'nt have lens flare like ipad 2/4s :crying:

have you see the game on other device? especially on non mali gpu? the screenshot is same on google play and the game itself on galaxy note 3 with max setting (from some site) from my perspective the graphic have ugly and flat texture. I see some people share ss on adreno devices and the texture is better compared on note 3/google play. I believe the mali version have toned down texture and polygon. the character itself look ugly compared to ps2 version.

i dont know , i dont have mhl/hdmi adapter maybe you can buy me one? i will test it :laugh:
btw i notice no matter low res,graphics or draw distance , the game will stutter if use car detail more than low and shadow more than classic. If seems the mali doesn't have enough power to run those two(vertex bound). If you want to play this game smoothly on all max, you need min a device with adreno 305 gpu with max res at 720p. so just turn off shadow and car detail if you want to play this game smoothly. I use classic shadow and low car detail and the effect look like PS2 version , it's okay btw for me

Hi all. I don't know if any of you have experience any lag in some games as I do. My z ultra plays some games without lag but this tablet has a better processor and it lags where my z ultra doesn't. I don't know if it is software related or not and if it is i can only hope is fix for lollipop because this tablet supposed to be better than the z ultra and so far I don't know.
I experience lag in game play occassionally as well, especially really graphically intensive games like real racing 3. Takes a little bit longer to load the game up than say the ipad air 2 or nexus 9. But even during game play, because of the lower frame rates, playing games isnt so smooth. Its not unplayable and if I had never played the game on the air 2, i would have never felt that it was not so smooth.
The 801 snapdragon isnt really meant for heavy game play.
