Evolution of Mobile FPS Games 2009-2023 | 45 Games

[@bembs0256]

This was Gameloft at its peak. Modern Combat, Brother in Arms, and NOVA series were the games of my childhood. Too bad everything went downhill when they introduced P2W that really ruined their games. And the way Gameloft refused to expand their games in the rise of battle royale or multiplayer-focused games such as PUBG Mobile, they really destroyed themselves.

[@mr.cheese2928]

Because the OG Gameloft got bankrupted without anyone noticed then later acquired by Vivendi

[@karthikeyan53]

It's not Gameloft fault. Most mobile gamers pirated Gameloft games instead of purchasing. So they went to free to play and pay to win because it's generates more revenue.

This is just back then when Gameloft still have passion making mobile game. They are the best mobile game developers at the time in my opinion.

Dead Trigger really brought true CoD Zombies survival experience that I used to borrow my buddy's phone to play it since mine can't handle it.

You can unlock all guns and class related stuff completely free without paying a single cent, a lot of content such as maps or modes to play with, and the game since day 1 (for me at least) always have a consistent performance even back when I have a crap phone. I know CODM community cried a lot such as "Oh Th1S Sk1n IroNsiGht iS p2W!" even though they should be grateful the only thing locked behind paywall for the game are freaking gun skins and character skins.

The reason that mobile gaming graphics hasn't advanced much is because console players get better hardware each generation but for mobile developers target the budget-midrange segment as most people own one of those instead of a flagship , so they create their game around the majority

[@jsdev4454]

They should do it like PC. Gave option to lower the graphic setting. Want better graphic? Get better phone. 10 years but no drastic improvement. I'm not hoping for photo realistic or HDR but atleast 10 years graphic behind PC. By now I was expecting S23 Ultra can support 2013 game like GTA5 at normal setting. Devs need money though. I understand why they target low spec phone. Cheap phone = more user = more advertisement revenue.
