Gameloft planning a freemium game for 2011?

And just when I thought Gameloft couldn't sink any lower...

 

hahahah true. But gameloft need to start using unreal engine 3 their games look bad & characters have bad voice acting.

 

Your argument is invalid.

Sure, if your willing to remake all your assets and give 25% of all your profits to someone else. And your already giving 30% to apple, so gameloft wouldn't even get half of every sale.

 

I bet they call it "Conquest of the Kingdom"

 

I actually like the look of Dungeon Hunter 2 and the fact that it runs really smoothly.

Freemium doesn't bother me too much if they don't shove IAP in your face all the time.

 

Their graphics look fine to me. They look much better than the average 3D iPhone game and I'd say their newer ones are about on par with Infinity Blade and RAGE.

 

Hmm... this could be good or bad. Some freemium games are good, look at Gun Bros and such...

 

Ya freemium is ok when the dev makes it freemium to combat pirating. Games like Eliminate however, when you have to pay frequently ruins otherwise good apps.

 

Freemiun doesn't necessarily combat piracy. For the most part, IAPs are just additional files, which I'm sure you can just SSH onto the iPod/iPhone. All popular apps have their DLCs pirated, and believe me, whatever Gameloft is releasing, will probably be a popular title.

 

i dont really mean they're games look bad but i mean that they lag a lot. I think gameloft's best looking game is shadow guardian in my opinion & N.O.V.A 2 felt like it copied halo too much to make it any better( but i enjoyed multiplayer better than modern combat 2). One other thing i dont like is their lack of updating & fixing bugs especially modern combat 2, the multiplayer lagged like crazy & they were lots of cheaters. They said it was fixed but it wasn't.

 

their graphics are on par with rage, i think shadow guardian has better graphics but these screenshots look better than what i play on my 3rd generation iPod touch. So if i played these games on an iphone 4 then i would have said something different.

 

This could be interesting. But one would wish that they don't go solely freemium, I still prefer the pay once and the game is yours rather than game is free but pay more if you want more.

 

Freemium killed ngmoco, let's hope it doesn't kill gameloft.

 

definitely they will shove IAP in your face all the time...

 

ngmoco sold out for hundreds of millions of dollars. sounds like a win to me.

 

What makes you say that? I thInk it's too early to speculate negatively on the matter.

 

That's Touch Arcade. People here tend to jump the gun.
And always before they know any facts.

 

Tapmad is an example of competitor hating. He even called IB Gameplay a piece of shit. It turned me off to whatever that is he is developing, I Devs like that learned some manners since he is a developer himself.

 

i actually like gameloft's games
