No, please just don‘t. The reason these games worked was precisely because they were optimized for the mobile market. Modern Combat 3 and 4 were the best. Gangster Vegas was good too until they decided to make it a lootbox cash grab game. Blitz Brigade, Gangster Rio and Miami were good games for their time, but aged terribly.

@Daniel__Nobre

It's the masses and the lowest common denominator approach. Games quickly reached the "casual" layers, meaning that they now reach billions of users. And it's just incredibly profitable to just do a quick low effort asset flip - sometimes even with stolen assets - than it is to actually try to produce a good game, that requires effort. The masses are mostly ignorant and easy to trick.

I remember Gameloft vaguely, i only ever played their java games back in the days, never really stuck to me though, even on more modern devices I never considered gameloft games, admittedly, I am not a Mobile Gamer, I got one game on my phone and that's it.

I remember playing their games, on old Java phone. They were really good, in my opinion. And I only saw, but wished I played, the first 4 Modern Combat games on android. Now their games are just lower than average games, overtaken with microtransaction cancer

What i find is that most of these game loft videos miss out the feature phone era of gameloft which was really popular back in the day.

Oh man, I love wonder zoo. I always liked their concept of having to capture and release animals until they’re not endangered anymore. Honestly, it was something that made the gameplay loop very interesting as it wasnt just getting the animals and moving on. You also had to actually find sick and injured animals in the wild instead of just buying them in a store. I have yet to see any zoo management game, console or mobile do this

Modern combat, Nova, despicable me and asphalt, i remember playing these back when I was in middle school, Gameloft was one of the few who saw mobile gaming potential, then the rest recently caught up. Maybe they'd do great on console/pc, where they don't have mobile limitations, and I hope they'd be better than Ubisoft.

I had an old sony ericson phone before, i think it was the W8i series or something but its a keypad phone where I used to play old gameloft games like modern combat, asphalt and many more. It will cost me like 50 PHP to download the game because some of its not free. It help me escape loneliness and have fun during lunch breaks I miss gameloft 😢

Glad I found this video. I've been playing and spending in Asphalt 9 for almost 2 years now. And let me tell you. It's the most greedy game I have ever experienced. Asking for anywhere from $100-$1,000 for a single car. You can't get 80% of the cars without either paying or farming premium currency for over a year for about 1-6 cars. Customer service is terrible and each platform has different unfair advantages. Xbox doesn't have ads so other platforms can watch a 30 second ad and get 20X the currency for a single race, while nintendo switch gets hundred's of dollars in value at a 90% discount since the platform is "behind". I honestly hope gameloft goes bankrupt, I can't smile any larger seeing that picture of Gameloft's profits sinking yearly.

They know how to make great games. My first one was Asphalt 3 for Java phones back in the day. I love their titles, but I would have paid for a full-fledged, offline, independent, microtransaction-free version of Asphalt 9 for the Switch instead of what we've got.

They were good during the low to mid range mobile era when the bar was low, now that almost every big game on mobile is basically a big budget cross-platform behemoth it's hard for guys like these who basically just re skin existing games for a living
