Seems they've invested pretty heavily in their own proprietary Gameloft Live service which does the same thing and allows them to cross-promote their games like crazy.
There are Gameloft games with GameCenter -Dungeon Hunter 2 -Nova 2 -Star Battalion And they have said they will include it in more games to. Maybe you should research this before you say things like this.
they easily could update some of their games with some neat achievements and gamecenter but somehow the "big players" (EA, Gameloft et al.) dont feel that way and give a ** on updates with gamecenter, so hoped for some of them as I read gamelofts star battalion has gc...
no its only dungeon hunter 2 & star battalion & nobody plays star battalion online & people only play dungeon hunter 2 online in gameloft live.
so hoped for the racing academy being enhanced with gamecenter and achivements but instead they use the stupid gameloft online crap
I prefer Gameloft Live anyway. In terms of achievements, Game Center is stupid. I don't know and don't care how many achievement points I have in Game Center. To me, it's pointless. So many casual games offer Game Center support that, much like with Open Feint, it takes away whatever meaning that the achievement system might have. Ulta simplistic/casual games should not offer achievements. With a lot of these games there is, in my opinion, nothing to "achieve" in the first place. Since Gameloft does not develop any casual games and therefore Gameloft Live does support any casual games, it's the only achievement system to me that has any inherent value.
I say they put gamecenter compatibility with every game and the owner of the idevice choose if they want to use it or not. Who's with me?
I don't care about my achievement score but it just adds a little to the game, helps you gauge how you're doing and sometimes actually make me play a game I might have ignored.
Yeh. A few months ago i was reading a thing from Gameloft saying that it was having GC. But since the release i havent checked it out so i thought it did have GC when it does not.
It's the fact that there's no set amount of points per game which makes me ambivalent towards GC achievements. One game has 1000 while another has 350 etc. Thats why folks here talk achievement quantities rather than points (an the fact that achievement # is visible, and not total points), though the same problem exists with that too. I agree with the poster who said GC makes it easier to gauge how you're performing in a game, I like that too. Achievements coupled with leaderboards, and the fact that all your GC games can be launched from within the app. On topic, Gameloft apparently prioritizes GC for their online co-op games atm. It's a shame, as Black Pegasus, NOVA 2 and Asphalt 6 would be great with GC... Who knows if we'll see Gameloft warm up to GC to the point that at least all their multiplayer games support it? At least they haven't shunned the service entirely. I still think Apple should have a tier system in the app store, where top tier games are required to support GC.
