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 3 месяца назад

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.

It's so sad that the best mobile games developer come to an end. I had so much good days since I was a 17 years old gamer until now 35 years old😢 Thank you so much for creating this video. So much needed🙏

I had hoped you would discuss their Java and Symbian era games as well, though admittedly a bit too old haha

Modern combat 5 , Nova 3 , Asphalt 8 were literally my childhood games

They butchered Asphalt 8. Asphalt 9 is fine but Asphalt 8 is fully pay to win now. I miss the old asphalt 8. I want Asphalt 8 to return to it’s former glory. Away from this pay2win bullcrap.

It all went downhill as soon as they decreased the mastery payouts to a 1/100th of what they were. After that, I quit the game, since it was now impossible to get any cars, or even upgrade anything without paying for it. I went back recently, and it’s unrecognizable. It’s a shame.

I remember their Ghost Recon Future Soldier and Jurassic Park games were the first phone games I paid actual money for on my second phone, an early Nokia smartphone, I think it might even have been back at the time when you still paid through SMS, and it blew my mind that you could get Gameboy quality games on your phone.

Gamgstar 1 & 2 + Modern Combat 1,2,3 ahhh. Those were the times, ipod touch 2g jailbroken and downloading fake app store from cydia to get free copies of the games. Holly molly those times were something else 🔥🔥🔥

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

my first touch of gameloft games was when they took some of the movies(films) into java game, (nokia symbian i think.) at that time it was alot of fun and i really enjoy them

B.I.A 2 was goated, I remembered a tip saying: "Combat never requires energy". Sad to say they did implement energy in the 3rd game

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.
