Xperia Z3 Gaming Thread - Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps

Hi all,
Coming from the Nexus 5 scene, I'm surprised to find that there isn't a thread dedicated to games on our beloved Z3, seen as it has PlayStation support, how can we not?
I think a list should be compiled for games which people play on the Z3.
Myself, I'm not much of a gamer, but c a new start the list off with:
Dead Trigger 2
Post your findings here, or even pm me and I'll add the games toothed list, you never know you may find some new games along the way.
happy gaming!

Clash of clans and boom beach

how does modern combat 5 stack up on this against playing it on say an ipad? i usually use ipad for gaming and the game is amazing on there.

Deep Hunter 2014 and Clash Of Clan..

The Battle Cats!

In general when I have no controller I'll just play fruit ninja or ngog rong (dragonball online)
Other than that Im not much of a fan of the Android games and i think its because I absolutely hate touch controls. So for me the best thing about this z3 is how easy it is to connect a ds4 controller. Playing asphalt with the controller is a much muchhh better experience than the touch controls. I wish more games were optimized for the ds4. And i hope there's an Xperia play 2 some day.
Remote play is amazing but sony really need to release their bloody game control mount thing.
Also use kainy. The setup took a bit of time but being able to play many pc games through this is also nice. Obviously not as good as remote play but still something good to have.
So I play:
Fruit ninja
Ngok rong(dragonball online)
Asphalt 8 -ds4
Gta sa -ds4
Pc games using Kainy and ds4
Ps4 games using Remote play

I have the Nyko mount (search amazon) for my DS4. Works great.
I also have a MOGA controller, it's a pity Sony didn't map the DS4 to standard HID controls as the MOGA is more compatible with more games. I understand the need for rumble, lightbar, and touchpad in the remote play app, but I wished it switched profiles regardless.

PSA: The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead are both Android games now. TWAU seems to run just fine (a frame drop here or there, but it does no detriment to the gameplay)

Leo's Fortune and just started TWAU.
Might start playing Dead Trigger again now that I can use a DS4.

"The Room" really shines on the Z3. Somehow it looks better than it did on my G3.
Riptide GP2 a really fun JetSki racing game.
Tetris of course
and Leo's fortune

I've been curious about this. Does the DualShock 4 support take the place of the previous DualShock 3 support that previous Xperia Z phones included? Does the DualShock 4 work the same for the games that had DualShock 3 support? If not, is the Z3 still compatible with the DualShock 3?
At one point I had the Sixaxis Controller app on my phone to use one of my old Sixaxis controllers, but I got rid of that when I got a Moga Hero Power since is offered the extra battery and had a built-in clamp. I've been curious if this would be better to stick with instead of trying to pair up a DualShock controller, but the placement of the power and volume buttons has me worried (especially on the Z3 Compact). Those of you with Moga controllers, how well does the Z3 fit with the retention clamp?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Well I guess I found an answer to part of my question. The Z3 is still compatible with the DS3, but pairing still requires a USB-OTG cable. The DS4 can pair wirelessly. This is according to the Z3 Compact's online manual:
http://userguide.sonymobile.com/ref...TV-using-a-DUALSHOCK-wireless-controller.html
I'm still curious whether the DS4 works the same in games that support DS3, but it probably does.

Playing Dead Trigger 2 the most at the moment

Turn down the antialiasing/upsampling/downsampling etc...

Just turning the settings down a little means all PSP games run fine,
and with turbo on PPSSPP using a Sony Xperia Z3.

Currently addicted to Dead Trigger 2, but just started The Room. Have all the emulators currently available of course (Drastic DS is awesome), and Dead Space is amazing with headphones.

Speculation: PlayStation Phone (Xperia Play) etc won't support PSP games.

Although after looking at the leaked specs, the Xperia Play seems like it is powerful enough to play PSP games, I really doubt that would be the case.
If you look at the images on the web, this phone is lacking the joy-stick apparent on all PSP modules.
So, I'm speculating that this phone will only support PlayStation 1 games purchased from the PlayStation store, as well as PlayStation Minis instead of playing PSP exclusive titles.

the long touch pad strip on the phone is suppose to simulate the joystick. this is genius in my opinion, the psp only had one, and now this phone will use this multitouch pad so the user can have 2 joysticks... without having 2 joysticks. i dont think the phone will run umd games but im confident it will play downloadable psp games just fine

If you use the built in browser, gameloft will recognize your device and show you the two games currently optimized (NOVA 2 HD and Real Soccer 2011 HD). These install fine and you get a free trial to test them with. I've had a bit of an issue with NOVA 2 and the controls but tech support has told me how to fix it, I just haven't had time.

Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
I did install and play The adventures of Tintin!
I think it's the best adventure game so far on a tablet.
Which version u are using?
Only v1.0.9 is working with sony tablet n the graphics are not good..
New game added Green Farm on Gameloft site for Sony Tablet S
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
I got games from Gameloft's WapShop and when I selected the Sony Tablet S at the bottom three games came up and I bought Nova HD 2 and got Asphalt 6 free with their promo. I thought if I change the device to Acer A500 and bought 9mm and got TinTin HD for free they would work too. They do not, TinTin downloads but will not install and 9mm gives a reddish/pinkish tint on the screen so it is unplayable.
In my case Tim and Struppi (Tintin) didn't work on my Sony Tablet S here in Germany. In the market I can't order it, with the hint "no compatible device". Then I tried to copy the apk file from my Galaxy S2 to my Sony Tablet. The old version started with a very raw grafic as a jump an run cellphone game. This was a now knowing bug and after the last update, the program starts with advice "incompatible device". How could you convince your device or market to run Tintin on Sony Tablet S? Please let me know ... I want to run it on my tablet too
Play asphalt 6 all the time .. love it on this device!
Does anybody know if Starfront: Collision works on the tablet S? If so, what version does?
Would really like a good RTS on the tablet, only thing I can see that is lacking!
Thanks a lot

Compatible Games with PS3 Controller

Hi Guys,
Can anyone confirm the games which are compatible with PS3 Controller?
I am thinking of buying one..
LIST OF COMPATIBLE GAMES:
GTA3
Muffin Knight
Pool Break
Riptide GP
ShadowGun
Shine Runner
Sonic CD
Soulcraft THD
Well for my own experience, here is my two cents
psone games (ofcourse)
nes.emu (Nintendo Entertainment System)
snes9x Ex (Super Nintendo) <-- this one however I believe is removed from Market.
ColEm (Coleco Vision)
I have not had time to try any other. But I believe there is more than this that would work. It is well worth the money to buy one, if you ask me.
well, I am looking for android games which are compatible with PS3 controller..
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
GTA 3 works well with controller
GTA 3 works well. Button mappings are a bit different than the original but once you get the hang of them it is very playable.
Cm'on guys..please try and confirm if other good android games can b played with ps3 controller..
Sega Sonic Adventure is supported I believe..

Are you referring to sonic cd? Or is sonic adventure on the market too now? If so holy crap why can't I find it
Also you could just get n64droid, a nintendo 64 emulator. Works pretty well on the sony tablet. It allows for complete control mapping, so you could be tearing up some Zelda or Mario cart on a Sony controller .
The developer did however pull it from the market for some reason (even though he had plenty of customers like me that paid around $6 for it), so you will have to find it elsewhere. Development for it has continued even though its not on market... confusing.

I can tell you that ShadowGun is fully working (already finished), just go to setup/gamepad and map your keys
also played 3 minutes Inertia HD... not really impressed by it... but it's working
Sonic CD is definitly compatible. There are some weird things like not being able to pause in game using the controller (you have to presss the pause icon on the screen) but otherwise it works fine.
Edit: I just reread the original post and it loks like i misunderstood. I thought you were looking for confirmation on GTA and Sonic CD being compatible with the PS3 controller. When I get a chance I'll see what else I have on my tablet that I can add to you list. to note, all emulators ive tried (FPSE, Gameboid, Snesoid, Nesoid, Gensoid, GBCoid, Ataroid and Gearoid) work with the ps3 controller
Shadowgun works GREAT once you assign the buttons, but the analog sticks work natively and brilliantly.

Samurai Vengeance II-Doesnt Work
Pool Break Pro-controller works but you still have to press the on screen icons to do things like change the angle you are shooting, change where you are hitting the ball, etc...
I am unable to try out Asphalt 6 right now.
I also tried out Muffin Knight and Reckless Racing. In both games you can use the controller to play the game but you cant really navigate and select thing in menus with it

PES12 not works!!!

Hmm this is a great thread. I was wondering that myself.
Anyways, Muffin Knight does work with the controller... but I don't think you can use a button to jump. you have to use the up key on the dpad to jump. This makes it tough, especially when you get the double jump ability.
I have a load of games on my tablet which I'll test tomorrow. If anyone wants me to specifically try a certain game just ask. I have about 150 games purchased now and no qualms about buying more lol.
It's great to hear shadow gun works btw! I refuse to buy fps games on a touch screen because I can't control them to save my life lol. I'll list what I come up with by Friday at the latest
List of Working and non working titles
I got up early and started testing a few games. I'll include a list of non working titles as well just so everyone knows. Any notes will be in brackets after the title
NOTE: I decided to add an Almost working section in the middle of the list. Theres a couple games that nearly work 100% but a critical button doesn't work. Emailing the devs may get that fixed promptly!
WORKING
-Shadowgun
-SupaSupaX (Unable to pause with controller)
-Muffin Knight (Have to jump with up on d-pad)
-All PS1 games from the PS Store
-Soulcraft THD (Works great!!!)
-Sleepy Jack (Works....but controls are a little weird. You click the left stick to shoot and click the right stick to use the slow bomb)
-Grand Theft Auto 3
-Shine Runner
-Symphony of eternity (Although you need to click the left stick to accept combat decisions)
ALMOST WORKING
-They Need to be Fed (left/right work on dpad and analog stick, but jump doesn't!)
-Karoshi (Left/right working on dpad and stick again, but unable to jump)
-Dark Incursion (Jump and shoot are combined into the X button..powers don't work)
-Reckless getaway (Left right work, can't activate pickups)
NOT WORKING
-Pocket Legends
-Dungeon Defenders
-Bang Bang Racing THD (Drag...I can barely play this with the on screen controls)
-Dead On arrival
-Attack from outer space
-Wind up Knight
-Mike V- Skateboard Party
-Summit X Snowboarding
-Minecraft Pocket Edition
-Destinia
-Megastunt Mayhem
-Age of Zombies
-Puffle Launch
That's it for now. Is it possible for a moderator to keep a stickied post at the top of all 100% working games? If not, no big deal. We can just periodically copy/paste all working games with new additions as the last post.
How about onlive? Can anyone confirm if this works with the ps3 controller?
Has anyone tried Sonic 4 Episode 1? I'd like to know how well it works
compatible titles
thanks for this list, i'll keep my eyes open for more. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get some things out here in Kuwait, but when I get home I'll check some more ut.

Games +

Hi to all. I know that the XZU is one of the best phablet to play games + other things but games is what got me to buy this awesome phone. I had the note II before my ultra there are some games that don't work on my ultra. one of my favorite game is Let's golf 3, and monopoly both of this games wont work or not correctly work on my ultra Let's golf 3 will install but too many windows so not playable. but there are other games that will work on my ultra that won't work on my note 2 like peggle and spb quads like others. so the ? is did you guy have most of those games working for you golf 3, monopoly classic and other good old games......
It looks like no body cares about what games work on the ultra or solutions to good and classic games that do not work on the ultra. because there are good games like [ let's golf 3 and monopoly ] that don't work on the ultra so.....
The lack of replies is not because we don't care, but maybe because we don't play those games. And if a game doesn't work, then it's the game developer's responsibility and not our.
So go ahead and contact EA or who ever is making those games.

ditto...
I didnt comment as I don't play those games. You could download the apk, and then unpack it and change the device info to alow your device to install it... then sideload the APK... That will get it working, but because of the DPI it may be a little scued. your call on that.
Thanks for your reply. But I was also refering to any other games aswell. I don't know if you guys play games or not but this device with this big screen is the best.that's why I made this this thread for people to talk about games. I did read about monopoly and lethe's golf 3 forums on their website but there's no solutions to this problem for now I was hoping that there was a tweack to make it work. But I'll wait thanks
The only games I've played on the ZU are Riptide GP2, Earn To Die and Simple Rockets and they all work as they should, so I haven't downloaded any games that doesn't work.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
I've had issues with a couple of apps not being compatible with the XZU and have contacted the developer's in each case. In one case they admitted it's because they've mislabelled their compatibility criteria and it treated the XZU as a tablet, the other said they were aware of the issue and we're working on an update.
The others are right, it's an issue for developers if an app or game doesn't work, we can't change the code...

Okey dokey....
Yes, I do play a lot on my XZU...
- Nova 1, 2, 3
- MC 1, 2, 3, 4
- Tiny Thief
- The Room
- Avadon Black Fortress
- Broken Sword 2
- Call of Duty Strike Team
- Dead Space
- Granny Smith
- NFS Most Wanted
- World of Goo
And others...hopefully will help this...
I too attempted to play Let's golf 3 and its tiled and broken. This is as of Dec 14th. I love the game but now that I have a powerful phone, it might be time to move on from GOLF games anyway. Golf was the perfect game for my old phone, Note 1. Sad that it doesn't work on the XZU

No you can't. Not without some issues or even lag in some games. Not even PSP emulators on PC can be completely lag and issue free. Heck when I owed a PSP some games were known for lag sometimes. Usually poor ports.
That being said you can totally play PSP games on your Note 4.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ppsspp.ppssppgold&hl=en
PPSSPP is my favourite so far. Keep in mind that its going to be strange because you have no physical buttons to use. Makes a huge difference.
You can get ppsspp from playstore but I highly suggest downloading betas from GIT.
http://www.ppsspp.org/downloads.html#devbuilds
I'm actually on the road, but with that being said there's a list of games that run pretty decent on the emulator. But then again, I have a real PSP and PSVITA along with 1900 games. So my choice is to difficult. Lol
Here's the compatibility list.
http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=1473
but i saw videos in which tekken 6 run smoothly............i posted a link below...............
