Asphalt 8 is a return to form, built from the ground up on an entirely new engine. But Gameloft is not content to merely coast. Asphalt 7 not only recycled the gameplay of its predecessor wholesale, but most of its tracks as well, leaving something that felt like a gussied up expansion pack hardly any way to treat a flagship. And, unlike much of their lineup, it’s an original series that may occasionally crib from the likes of Need for Speed, but over the years has carved out its own identity.Īsphalt is important to Gameloft, but last year, it seemed as if they were content to rest on their laurels. Their longest running series, it was one of the first to really push high-end 3D graphics on the wimpy dumbphones of the day, and Gameloft’s only series that continues to appear on handheld gaming systems alongside phones and tablets. He's been gaming since the Atari 2600 days and still struggles to comprehend the fact he can play console quality titles on his pocket computer.Asphalt has long been something of a flagship for Gameloft.

Since then he's seen the growth of the smartphone world, backed by iPhone, and new product categories come and go. Having grown up using PCs and spending far too much money on graphics card and flashy RAM, Oliver switched to the Mac with a G5 iMac and hasn't looked back. At iMore, Oliver is involved in daily news coverage and, not being short of opinions, has been known to 'explain' those thoughts in more detail, too.
