hey guys it's TV with the demo of gaming on the Xperia Play now this really one of the biggest parts of the about this phone is just the fact that does have the physical controls which is really nice I mean of course some games like you know tiny wings Angry Birds that kind of stuff they were just fine on a touchscreen however lots and lots of other games you know that really really do benefit from having the physical controls are available on the Xperia Play so I'm going to do for you guys is give you a quick demo of some of the games that you can pick up first one is going to be Minecraft Pocket Edition now I'm sure most you guys will know what minecraft is and this is a kind of a unique version of Minecraft so it is kind of like classical you guys have played Minecraft you'll know what I'm talking about it's kind of like a mixture between classic and beta so if I open up the menu here you can go ahead and pick through pretty much any the bricks that are available there's a fair few not all of them but there are fair few bricks that you can pick and what it's all about is just you know kind of like a condensed version of it so you can use the virtual d-pad with a little touch d-pad on the bottom of the screen to move around use the d-pad to walk you also have your L&R buttons so l is too kind of like your like Danzig or whatever and right it is if I want to place stuff so I'm gonna place a bunch of ladders and grief up my world here so they gave you guys a quick demo now this was all made by myself you know kind of just testing out the controls are a little bit odd they're certainly not perfect but for a phone I actually found that I got used to them rather quickly so you guys can see here it does have a lot of the features from the standard minecraft so if for example there's lighting so if I go ahead and go ahead and kill that off and you'll see it will get darker here but there are some problems for one it runs a little bit laggy from time to time you know actually right now it's running pretty much perfectly however everyone's small just like on the standard minecraft it will get a little bit laggy as it's you know redrawing and a lot kind of stuff and on top of that the controls well I do think that they're pretty good they're not quite perfect it definitely will take you a little bit to get used to them but overall I think it's a pretty solid port of minecraft the next game I will be showing you is asphalt 6 now unlike minecraft which I believe is seven or eight dollars this section does come free with the phone and it's actually a decent racing game so if you guys have ever played on other platforms it is a very similar game but it does benefit from having the physical controls so what we'll do is we'll to the silver league here and just pick out a race and give you guys a quick demo of it I it's it's not my favorite racing game ever but it of course does come free and it's not too bad to kind of show off some of the controls on the Xperia Play so go ahead and get the race started here the controls are very similar to pretty much you know any racing game on you know the PSP or anything you know you have your Ellen I mean your d-pad you got your virtual joysticks if you want to use those it's pretty simple so skip all this and let's get into a race the framerate does get a little bit choppy from time to time but that's not too bad alright let's widen now this is a very arcade-style racing game so you know the power-ups so if I use the nitrous or whatever they call it here and you also pick up like money and some different power-ups that are along the road so it's not quite a real racing game which is with my favorite material so here's some nitrous power-ups some reason the frame works a little bit low right now but not a big deal alright so actually it's kind of funny usually minecraft runs a little bit choppy and this runs nice and smooth but it's the opposite as soon as I start recording anyway so whoa I right so that was pretty quick but anyway guys that's a really quick demo of asphalt 6 on the Xperia Play another reason why the Xperia Play is great for gaming is it allows you to play PlayStation 1 games now won't let you play all PlayStation 1 games it does come with crash bandicoot for free and there are just a few just a small handful that are available that you can actually purchase however it is nice to go ahead and be able to play these so let's go ahead started on crash bandicoot bandicoot here can you say that name right so it is pretty much the exact same as you know you would expect on the PlayStation 1 and it's a pretty faithful port of course running on a phone so again all your buttons are basically the exact same as you would expect on PlayStation 1 or a Playstation 2 or whatever so let's go ahead and get some comment I will just give you guys a brief bit of warning I'm awful at this game I've always been awful at this game let's say we can jump on these crates here you guys never play Crash Bandicoot it's a very interesting game I like I always kind of liked I thought was pretty interesting almost like a 3d version of Mario almost it's not really but that's that's again it's an awful way of explaining it but uh I have to jump and avoid dying in so see if we can go kill this one fall in there this is actually probably my favorite game that's available on the Xperia Play which makes sense because this was a pretty awesome game you know I was always bad at it so it's up here and again you guys will find that the performance on this is absolutely just excellent Ian there's no framerate lag or anything like this which is I mean as you would expect this is a 1 gigahertz phone so to be able to play a PlayStation 1 game is not gonna be particularly bad whoo oops hey guys it's gonna be about it overall there's a lot to like about the Xperia Play for gaming it's got some really solid stereo speakers the screen is nice bright it is 16 by 9 which is my favorite aspect ratio it really allows you to get a lot of the game anything that you're really doing on the screen the controls are good I wouldn't say they're you know as good as you know like a playstation control anything but considering it's on a phone it is definitely very good and far away better than you know most pretty much any kind of touchscreen controls and on top of that you do have the touch screen so if you're interested you can of course swipe through and you know do whatever you want with that so guys that's gonna be about it if you guys are interested in seeing more about you know some other features of about the phone other than gaming definitely be sure to stay tuned to the channel they'll be doing my full review on the Xperia Play 4G very soon
