        Great, they acquired a shovelware developer. Whoopee.

          RobinArc, 09 Feb 2021Can't say great but was a good game. I once came back ... morelook their games like nba live and madden mobile... every season will be reset pure P2W nothing good for progress and not worth money. NFS no limits just under 1 minute race.. actually grapics is great but the race is very short. not enjoyable for me.

              Anonymous, 09 Feb 2021Their games are very well optimized. Real racing 3 runs at... moreI agree though. This game is even supported on Samsung J3 2016 (a friend had it but now switched) giving out decent framerates. That’s with the Mali-400 GPU. I missed the times when games had great graphics but runs much smoothly compared to these days which seems more like a marketing play.

              All-time favorite was Modern Combat 3 from Gameloft. Great graphics from 2012 (it even beat some modern games from 3 years ago), the physics were incredible that time. Runs smoothly on an iPad 2. Barely any bugs, if ever existed. MC4 was also fine.

              In my opinion I think modern games like Genshin Impact are overhyped and the result is a game, with good graphics, to be poorly optimised and buggy. To benchmark this game with phones feels wrong.

                Glu Mobile was a really good dev before 5 years ago. The Contract Killer series (except the last version) was awesome, the graphics were ahead of the competition (used Unity graphics), even if it does hit a paywall. Deer Hunter was also good. Unfortunately the moment devs slapped forced advertising and made poor games the rep of the company slipped.

                Same as Gameloft, but Asphalt 9 is their saving grace. It’s a decent game with good (not great) graphics though also very monetized with pushed ads.

                  not surprised at all. Glu was EA of the mobile world since before EA was EA. these guys are probably the pioneers of the cancerours micro-transanction driven free-to-play model

                    EA dont hace a ver good image, but im justo súper exited if one day the remaster or lake a sequel of Samurai Vs zombies

I once came back to check after a year and my game data was still intact so could play from where I once left. Still, Doesn't make it any fun though, not anymore. P2W is intense. And I'm still not getting why EA don't make an open world PC like NFS game for smartphone yet. NFS most wanted was the last best game for smartphone they have ever created. EA is a disgrace now.

                        I am very much sure it was one from Frontline Commando series.

                        Wait.
                        GTA is from Rockstar, I believe.

                          Glu? I've played some of it's games but can't remember even one of them. EA Games? Yes played many of them. I remember playing Need For Speed Underground 1 and 2 while listening my sweet songs by Akon and 50 Cent. Also I've played GTA Vice City and San Andreas. What a good times man.

                              I remember when Glu made games that were actually worth playing. Gun Bros and Eternity Warriors were among the best. Too bad they got greedier with each game. Haven't seen a Glu game on the Play Store for a few years now.

In case you didn't know, it was named the worst company in America multiple times. They are literally the cancer of the games industry. I will NEVER forgive them for destroying game studios and franchises, period.

                                    Smartphone now have open world rpg, shooting, action game why EA doesn't make open world NFS game for phone like PC version of NFS? NFS No limit is a joke. Short reaching time, mostly p2w, hard to collect blueprints, upgrade is costly.

                                        [deleted post]Woah there. Not only you swore, but that isn't all that true. Microtransactions are mostly optional. Some games such as the fifa mobile one are definetley pay to win, but others such as real racing 3 are not. And also microtransactions on pc/console games barely exist.
                                        Wishing they never existed? Just cause you don't like paying for a game (and that's extremley exagerated)? That's harsh dude, especially since it isn't half as bad, and they have majorly improved the last 2-3 years.
