people usually look down on gameloft despite it's still the leading dev of IOS

Not a fan of the giant obnoxious file sizes for Gameloft's titles.

Oh and Gameloft has acquired the rights for a Batman game, "The Avengers" and "Spiderman".

Wait, their making a Batman game?

For the love of god, DONT BE FREEMIUM!!!

But from what I've gathered, they have two divisions - the "good one" and the "other one". Guess which one makes what games?

I don't mind them going Freemium - as long as is means we still get some premium titles out of them.

gameloft montreal (seems like ubisoft through??) seems to make the good ones.

I don't think it's an actual "division" in studios - I just thought they have teams assigned to the quality stuff, and teams that are meant to pump out games fast to turn a profit.

Only Gameloft has the budget to MAKE these happen!

And it was more that 'a' freemium game - its been several, and they're all way below par.

However, I do admit that they have made good games. Brothers in Arms and MC3 were my favourites.

When have you ever seen a GL freemium title in the top charts (excluding top grossing! That's too easy) for a week or more?!

The only big game that gameloft has ever released in modern combat 3 . Most of gameloft's games are trash . I'd say that I've enjoyed MC3 and asphalt 6 and that's about it . Companies like EA are much better, IMO .

I think there are alot more great gameloft games than that, though they weren't quite as successful. (For example Rainbow Six and Starfront: Collision )

And comparing it to EA? Other than Dead Space and some of the NFS games I can't really think of anything really great from them.

Guys`s relax - First at all Gameloft is doing fine. They might have lost their leading Position but if it comes to their shareholders and what they are expecting for this Year turnover everything does look good.

What I could care less about as a Gamer does for some of their shareholders sound like Christmas and does make sure that Gameloft won`t run ever into some bigger Troubles as Ubisoft had 2004/2005 when Electronic Arts wanted to buy them.

I won´t go deeper into it since I don`t care about any or their Freemium Games since that isn`t a Genre that I do care about at all so I`ll make it quick:

Yes Gameloft does have some big IP acquired like their upcoming Batman Game or their Men in Black 3 Game.

Yes Gameloft will release a lot other bigger Franchise this Year that are their own IP and yes they are aware of that some of us literally hate them for the Freemium Stuff which is one of the Reason why the had last Month their PR Preople swarming the Country and show some Stuff around that weren`t yet shown or even listed anywhere.

So instead of hating them don`t loose your hope in them - They are fine and I`m sure they might turn back to be one of the Top Five Developer on the iOS/Android Market.

Till then...

Now let`s talk about Electronic Arts:

Let`s Face it. When a Company is generating more Profit then Ubisoft or Activision and even Apple is mentioning them that they had created more Profit on the Appstore then anyone else then it`s easily to say that they must have done something right and it just can`t be only One Game as Dead Space or some Need for Speed Game.

What some of you might have forgotten or might even don`t know is that Electronic Arts isn`t simple just EA Mobile there are a few other well known Brands some of you didn`t have mentioned that run below the EA Brand like the following Once:

• Chillingo
• Clickgamer
• ...
• ..
• .

Some of the biggest Brands on the iTunes Store that sold in the last few Months at least a Million Times on the iTunes Store are from those three Brands and some Games we all know that are still not released yet are still being polished and will hit the iTunes Store in the upcoming Months.

Then there's Zynga, and suddenly, Gameloft doesn't look too bad..

Totally agree. Loved game loft at first, the first two dungeon hunter games were brilliant. But now everything's freemium. I'm not anti freemium but it's a joke the way 'some' of their games play. Eg Six Guns I really liked, if they upped the reward money for missions it would be good but you get such a low reward you spend most of that on bullets. As to compare Gangstarr and GtA that's a joke. GtA is far superior.

The CEO said future games would be a Mix of freemium and normal pricing models. 2 months later they announce the rest of their 2012 titles will be freemium!

I now don't buy any Gameloft games or download them. If they released Duneon hunter IV and it's an RPGS then I must admit I'll be happy

Where did they say that? (that all their games in 2012 would be freemium)
