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.

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.

Nova 3 was such a special game for me. Me and my cousins used to play it all the time after school then one day it was just gone.

I remember when we used to download famous franchised superhero games like that of tasm1-2, batman open world by game loft. And so much more. If they had just kept the deal with the producing houses they could have made so much more. But due to some copyright and legal issues all of those games had to be taken down from the play store. I just say that those were some of the best mobile games I had played.
I was around for the entire fall of Dungeon Hunter Champions as a deeply involved community member. Signed NDA as part of the expert team and developed Discord bot. Ran a top guild on the server. Unfortunate what happened.
I played Gameloft's Modern Combat 4 and it was awesome, from the campaign to the multiplayer, I don't know if the multiplayer is still active today, but with COD Mobile and other FPS games, I doubt there are players left in MC4.

Could i know the song at 4:49?
i remember playing modern combat 4 campaign in my small phone and 2 dollars ps2 controller during early weekends , it was a core memory for me
Does anyone remember UNLIMITED SPIDERMAN from gameloft ?
Nova was such a fun game. I was so into it back in it’s prime
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
Missed the old Gameloft. Thanks for this video, I now know what really happened. I hope they get back better than better.
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
Asphalt Urban GT and Asphalt 3 Street Rules were my jam back in the day.
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 🔥🔥🔥
Man, am I a fossil, my first Gameloft games were things like Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, XIII, Mystery Mansion Pinball and Prince of Persia, I mean we're talking the dawn of mobile 2D Java games here. Good to see they are still doing fine.
