![Tee Grizzley - Blow for Blow (feat. J. Cole) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wNLN5xsx5dc/mqdefault.jpg)
My first reaction to the title: "No. Never."
Me after realizing how many console emulators I have and use on my phone: "Hold on, he's got a point"
Like honestly. How hard is it for Nintendo to port their SNES games to phones and PCs for that matter?! Obviously it's because of a conflict of interest with their Switch console, but look at the success of Fortnite. The big moneymakers of today are the ones that rush to make their game as available to everyone as quickly as possible. Same reason Among Us is huge.
@@FreshTillDeath56 Why would you want that? We have more than enough shitty ports with horrible UIs and Arial 12 fonts. No thanks, i'll stick to emulators.
I literally just finished God Of War - Chains of Olympus (a game i never got to play on PSP ) on my Xiaomi MI10 using PPSSPP 10 minutes before watching this video.
@@ziggbg i finished metal gear solid peace walker on phone, and finished persona3 3 time
Damn, nothing can beat a DefJam NY on a way home from work. XD
The potential is there.
But it gets squandered by the fact that the moment you open the appstores, it's already trying to sell you 100 different versions of Clash of Clans, Candy Crush, and gacha games, devolving it all into "what palette do I want" rather than "which of these are actually good".
And that's exactly why I don't bother.
Honestly who actually browses those mobile storefronts anyway, or any game storefront? I can't remember the last time I even used Steam to actually discover a game I might want to play. I don't see how it's much different, other than the increased ratio of garbage to not garbage.
Yeah that's the problem. Bad quality control.
"The moment you open the appstores" - that's your mistake right there. Really more than enough gaming websites to find new and interesting mobile games - I only open my app store to click Buy.
@@KillahMate plz, Can you list any website or youtuber that recommends good mobile games? Just in this video I got more decent recommendations than using the Apple AppStore my entire life.
The fact that you didn't even need to cover emulation on phones, shows the potential of these "gaming devices"
Once you get into emulation it opens the doors wide open
I think unofficial ports should also be mentioned has they're as good as official ports in terms optimization and performance but also include stuff like mod support as well. Delta touch is an unofficial port of doom 1, 2 and 3, where you can run mods like brutal doom on it and many more. There's also quad touch which is a quake port and Xash3d which is a half life 1 port as well.
@@epic8923 i strongly agree I feel like unofficial ports like delta quad and most recently raze touch for games like Duke 3d shadow warrior and blood are honestly better ways to play the games that they support more than the official
Options
Delta is far superior to the official doom 1 and 2 ports plus you can play every single other doom engine fps game including heretic, strife hexen, hacx and even other gz doom standalone games
Quad i believe is the only way to play quake 1 2 3 and hexen 2 since those don't even have ports
Raze is superior even in its current state to the official Duke and shadow warrior ports the and is the only way to play blood on Android outside of dos box
@@epic8923 Setting an emulator to run fallout 2 on a phone is a pain in the ass but so much worth it, turn based games are perfect for phones.
The fact that we can play PSP games on phone 5-7 years ago has shown how great mobile phone is.
You could literally play PS3/Xbox 360 games on phone, considering your device strong enough
thank you for dunking on Gameloft, I needed to hear that
Us needed that
As someone wrongfully banned by them, screw those guys with a cactus.
It’s a shame they ended up so bad, back in the day I played some genuinely good games by them but it seems that in the years since they’ve turned evil…

Disappointed to see nobody mention how influential Minecraft: Pocket Edition was in mobile gaming, especially when Microsoft standardised Minecraft to Bedrock edition using the code-base of Pocket Edition and enabled cross-play between console, mobile and PC, something that was unheard of back then.
Minecraft is one of the best phone games
EXACTLY THANK YOU
One of the first things I played with a pad on phone. I was surprised to see it perfectly mapped like on desktop or on xbox. Genuinely impressed.
@@nexenojustice552 It was one of the only games I played
That "geshin doubles your phone as a stove" sold me a subscription, just happened i was subscribed already :p
The worst problem is how buried any good mobile games are under the avalanche of time-wasters and Skinner box games.
You gotta pay for the good shit, I guess
True
@@bobsquaredme Yeah, but how are you even going to find it so that you can pay for it? A lot of outlets that cover games often avoid the mobile market and don't do reviews of mobile games.
@@bobsquaredme All the good shit are 20 year old games, nothing new.
@@tacogirl69 Regular gaming websites review mobile games. IGN has a whole section for mobile, you can filter by your specific platform. Then there are also specialized mobile gaming sites, like TouchArcade or Pocket Tactics. Not to mention Metacritic aggregates reviews for mobile games, so if you just want to check for some generally well-received recent games you can go there. And of course if a game was good on PC or console it might be good on mobile too, so you can look for games you know already and just check online if the mobile port is good.
Your rant about Gameloft is THE best part of this video.
It's true that nothing sells like hate these days.
@@TheEvilCheesecake I have to agree with your reply because it's the sad reality.
Gameloft used to be my childhood (played many pre touchscreen smartphone games made by Gameloft), but now they are a shadow of their former selves and they at least deserve some backlash from the fans for their terrible practice.
I enjoyed Asphalt 9 way more than Asphalt 8 even though both games are filled with microtransactions.
It's impossible to praise Watch Dogs 1 (for what it is) and not have someone reply to your comment saying that "the game sucks, it's trash". Funny thing is that I liked Watch Dogs 1 and many of my IRL friends liked that game too.
All I have to say is that the people who spread hate towards a certain game is the minority in the internet but a vocal majority in the comment section, which means that the small group of people managed to spread their hate towards a certain game with their loudspeakers. Take Crowbcat for example, he even managed to turn hating GTA 5 into a trend, even though GTA 5 is an amazing game.
@@TigerChamp99 I miss alot of old titles.
Like Gameloft's older Brothers in Arms titles.
I still hate Modern Gameloft's direction but I'd at least respect them more if they updated their older titles that weren't filled with micro transactions so we could still play them after Apple dropped support for them.
They managed to ruin Asphalt 8 for me with the overzealous ads and monetization. Never looked back
@@nedinnis6752 yeah and they removed free rewards for multiplayer win streaks too 😡 I assume asphalt 9 doesnt have them either...
The fact that the aspect ratio is different in this video to look better on a phone is attention to detail
it looks sooo good. and the black bars aren't an issue on a larger screen, i hope he continues to do this :3
THE NOTCH IS IN THE WAY
And just like mobile gaming it failed because the hole for the camera on my phone covers up part of the video.
I personally hope he keeps it this way
@@tommygolding6435 just get a phone with a hole punch instead
That Gameloft rant was just . . . *mwah*, pure bliss, 10/10 would listen to Ray tear open Gameloft's asshole again~
sad thing that 15 years ago they made best mobile games...
@@olotocolo They used to rule the world, now they're bootleg EA
Don't mind me I'm just leaving a 12:56 time mark...
But then he endorsed Asphalt 9, I didn't get that, a game that literally plays itself if you don't change the default controls.
@@olotocolo I loved playing Nova 2 back in secondary school, blatant Halo ripoff but it was a load of fun.
"Even Nintendo's ahead of you on this [branching their IP out to other platforms"
That's... that's saying something, holy shit
I wasn't prepared for that sudden and violent Gameloft rant... but despite being so taken aback, I adored every second of it.
I don't have a problem with 'gaming' on phones, I have a problem with 'games' on phones
Tbf its easy to sift through the bad stuff and find some good stuff
Not to mention the loot boxes and predatory monetization
@@georgekostaras you can actually pass that I've just got into mobile gaming and honestly you can find a game where you can Ignore all that stuff and just enjoy the gameplay and play i think people too overdramatize how bad it is
@@suryafadillah5263 gambling in video games is a serious problem that’s hurting children and adults. Most of the industry’s worst monetization schemes began in the relatively unregulated world of mobile gaming. I’m not saying there aren’t games on mobile that aren’t an online casino meant to prey on people with addictions but it’s a massive industry wide problem
@@georgekostaras well if you find any you can report the app
Obviously yes! Look at Raid: Shadow Legends! It has graphics that rival next generation consoles and has a fascinating lore! 😂
Dear God.
I seriously sprayed the water I was drinking after reading that. LOL

@@PlebNC Well, your rule is wrong because Mortal Kombat 11 has an auto-play feature. Time for a new rule.
Sick
It’s amazing how we’ve gone from Paper Toss and Angry Birds in 2007 to playing literal AAA games in more than a decade
I still remember the time I played clash of clans.
It's hardly a AAA experience when most games are completely riddled with microtranactions
@@ryshed4365 It comes from the fact that it's f2p on play store.
@@ryshed4365 tbh if anything, that makes it more of a triple A experience these days
@@ryshed4365 have you played a AAA game on a pc/console? They're all riddled with micro-transactions.
I would like to say how much I enjoy seeing a little bit more of Raycevick's personality in this video than we normally get. Relax, dude. You seem cool enough to let that through.
Phone Companies: “Our phones are as powerful as the Xbox 360!!!”
“Okay, can you make games like those for your phone?”
Phone Companies: “...please play Candy Crush Saga, available now!”
Phone companies don't make games.
@@aolson1111 Thoey could publish them.
@@aolson1111 It's a joke, obviously.
But accurate.
@@aolson1111 Sony, and Microsoft have been developing and publishing games for the last 2 decades, they also make phones.
Apple is doing something as well but nobody cares.
@@flamixflame2685 they kinda care with that game version (or was it a subscription) of the app store and getting exclusives... now making games on the otherhand, yeah nahh
I'm hyped you covered this topic! Before the whole pandemic hit, I was actually working on the publisher side of mobile games - specifically, we were working with Japanese, Hong Kong, Chinese, and some European / American indie devs to have their games available worldwide. (Once the virus hit though, the whole chain of development, especially among indies, fell apart so I wound up having to work other jobs in the meantime.)
But let me just say, we'd see all sorts of mobile gems and cool upcoming projects! Like we worked with Mihoyo when they were doing Honkai Impact 3rd before Genshin Impact and CyGames during their mobile only, Japan exclusive days.
That said though, holy crap did we also see the crippling roadblocks holding back mobile gaming.
1. Both Android and Apple stores severely cripple games being easily available and accessible to all mobile users. Since they focus on all apps, games are gonna get buried under things like Snapchat, as you pointed out. But the storefronts are the wild wests, where any garbage gets on and any new game has to compete with asset flips and companies that can pay to manipulate the store rankings.
With Android, you can at least manually download games and install their .apks, but Apple has a strangehold on all outside apps.
Without a dedicated and easy to use game store like Steam, downloading / buying games is treated like a red headed step child.
We actually ran a game store app, but both Android and Apple refuse to support it because then it would take traffic and profits away from their stores. So even having a third party dedicated game store is a pipe dream as long as the operating system makers have a strangle hold on it.
2. The extreme inconsistancies among phone models and users made troubleshooting games a nightmare. Even when a big name polished mobile game came out, we had to do so much troubleshooting because the games usually wouldn't run on every phone for such varying reasons. And because the userbase isn't as tech savvy as the average pc gamer, it was that much harder to help them get the game running.
Like when Pokemon Masters released, there wasn't initially any notes telling us users had to have a 64-bit OS. And most people don't know what specs their phone has. And explaining 32 vs 64 bit processing doesn't solve anything. All people knew was the game wouldn't work and we had to answer all their complaints and we couldn't physically fix the game on our end.
3. This actually leads into the global aspect of phone models. Companies want to reach as many users as possible to make money, usually via the F2P model. But because of the wealth gap between countries, the biggest markets who play mobile games (China, Brazil, Southeast Asian countries) have older phones that can barely run games. So countries with people who can play games, end up playing very shallow mobile games with lots of advertising money or established things like COD Mobile. And then countries with people who can't play all games but use mobile as their primary game platform, can't play all the games because of the accessibility of good hardware. (Indie devs can't obviously afford to test their games on every phone model or older systems and big publishers tend not to invest in anything that would actually tax any system / be a console type game as that limits their market).
There's tons of stuff I haven't even mentioned, but you did a fantastic job covering the topic as always!!!
Cool insights, thanks for sharing!
Introduce minimum system requirements for mobile games
@@MegaDRKSTR that's what they are doing?? I have seen the description enough to know that you need at least 2 gb of ram to play COD mobile.
But yeah usually the culprit is google and apple holding back the potential for either money, security, or incompatibility.
"We actually ran a game store app, but both Android and Apple refuse to support it because then it would take traffic and profits away from their stores" ah yes, monopoly, the inherent human nature multiplier. and to nature there is no such as thing as good or evil.
All I'm saying is I can play heavily modded morrowind with a ps4 controller on my phone. That's pretty fucking amazing
How can you use mods, does your phone have to be able to use a file manager?
@@Bassist-Beneath the openmw mobile app (aka OMW or open microwave) has a mod manager which at the very least allows you to set up your load order for esps and esms. Other than that Im just careful with what order I paste in textures/meshes/whatever else that isn't just an esp.
@@Bassist-Beneath and also yeah I use cx file explorer to have an easier time with moving stuff around
A 2:1 Raycevick video, I was surprised to see this video actually fit fullscreen on my phone!
Was the choice to make this video 2:1 caused by filming footage on your phone or a whim to try out the aspect ratio?
Recording phone footage, the blackbars was gonna be doubly awkward for Mobile viewers had I kept it 16:9.
Woah. Weird
@@Raycevick especially for the one plus 7 pro

Crossy Road and Game Dev Story are all I need
Game Dev Story by Kairosoft Inc. you say?
@@jdg1251 such a good game!
Literally the only game I needed on mobile for 5 years was Game Dev Story
Kairosoft are gods, so many years of fun in their games
@@Hesojo I know right? such a shame about the response time of the UI tho, it always feels like you are emulating a mouse through touchscreen or something
No mention of emulation? That's one of the best ways to play "real" games on a phone
I was disappointed as well
I guess because it's not official
Well, can't really mention it cuz it's illegal
@@frds_skce It's illegal if you don't own the hardware and the games, if you don't dump the needed firmware and/or BIOS from the hardware as required and instead use illegally publicly available firmware and BIOS files, and if you don't back up your own ROMs and disc images and just play those.
@@pronounjow distribution is illegal. Usage on other hand...(by the way, I live in country where government institutions use pirated software and 99.99% nobody gives an f)
I've been saying for years that mobile gaming has so much potential, unfortunately the monopoly that both google and apple have on app stores makes it impossible to achieve this full potential. What we need is a mobile gaming system like steam on desktop, where games can be rated properly, sold and monetized properly and so on...
Use emulators
@@Azure9577What does that fix? They're neat but 1: They don't exist for iOS unless youre jailbroken or have Altstore, 2: We're talking about specific mobile games.
@@awii.neocities my comment was more or less a recommendation,
There aren't many good mobile games, but the few that there are, are pretty great
I've been playing Castlevania: Symphony of The Night for the first time on my phone with my PS4 controller, and I haven't such a rewarding and fun experience and what feels like forever. If a late 90s PS1 classic on my phone has given me this much joy, then I wonder what other gems I'm missing out on. Make it happen game companies!
That Gameloft rant resonated with my soul on a wavelength I haven't felt since playing a pitifully awful Assassin's Creed clone from them called BackStab.
That game was 2 hours long, cost $7, had zombies in it because it was 2011, and its only saving grace is you can't buy it anymore.
Thanks for articulating my exact feelings about them from a decade ago.
Bit ironic that Gameloft would make an Assassin's Creed rip off tho considering they did do a pretty good (for old Java phone standards) 2D platformer out of Assassin's Creed 2 onto old phones before that.
@@V-Jes also they're literally a subsidiary of Ubisoft

It won't be long before models that play current gen games are released. The current offerings already can, just not satisfactorily.
I appreciate the aspect ratio of this video as I watch it on my phone
As a pc user
:(
An important thing to add to the conversation is the race-to-bottom pricing caused by free to play nonsense. Legit ports of legit games are 1/3 the price as their steam counterparts.
The award-winning GRIS is $17 on steam, and only $5 on mobile.
There's such a stigma against charging more than 5 bucks on mobile, I think that might discourage a lot of the devs from porting to mobile.
Remember when Super Mario Run got crucified for charging $10?
That's because super Mario run was done better by other devs and for free, also $10 for a game like that when there's tons of other games that cost less or even more that have way more content. I'd rather buy max payne or rayman for a few bucks instead of Mario run for $10 you know what mean
I got run a while ago, and Iove it!
For me and probably a lot of people 'Mobile Gaming' has been tainted by deceptive, expoitative, microtransaction infested nonsense
Thank you for making this video.
It's so annoying when people get so disappointed over mobile games being announced, simply by the platform that it's on. You can blame the Free-To-Play market for that, but that doesn't mean that you can't find good stuff on phones. You can play almost all the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games, GTA games, Sega Genesis titles and a ton more that you mentioned on a phone. Mobile gaming is here to stay, and to hate on it because 9 year-olds like playing Fortnite on it is ridiculous.
And don't even get me started on emulation...where you can download Retroarch and have more than a dozen game consoles in the palm of your hand.
Playing on phones is great, but you have to let go of the stigma, ignore the free-to-play crap, and go digging for the good stuff. Most good games are way cheaper than their PC counterparts. Give it a shot. I'm sure you'll at least have fun exploring.
The inbuilt level select in Max Payne Mobile is also one of the reasons I still play it now and then. It really adds to the feeling of just “pick up and play”. Bouncing between any part of the game whenever I wanted was just absolutely brilliant. Especially on bus rides.
Thank you for mentioning this port, it’s barely brought up but I think it’s set an example for what mobile ports can and should be.
Fantastic video by the way, greatly looking forward to what’s next 👍

Huh, seems to have all the the titles I think of.
Imagine not using the Dodge Avenger video as the source of a best no context RCR clip.
I myself have a Note 9 and use it for emulation all the time, since the S Pen gives me a very good DS like experience. But there's something about having a dedicated device for gaming that can fit in your pocket that just feels more special. Not to mention, I highly prefer the control scheme of both my PSP Go and Vita, with the former being smaller than my phone anyway. I tried the whole controller clip-on thing, but it was annoying having to use the touchscreen on menus and stuff, plus the controller itself has to go in a bag - not something I'm always willing to carry with me everywhere I go. I even have a Switch, but I don't take it out of the dock too often because of that. I think I'm still looking for the perfect device for me, but for now, I think I'm leaving mobile gaming alone. I've always been one for portable gaming, but when it comes to mobile phones, there's still something missing.
To be fair Gameloft had some great mobile games back in the days. Does anyone remember Rainbow Six Shadow Vanguard or Splinter Cell Conviction on iOS? Those were great mobile experiences and I am very sad that they are not available anymore and no studio utilises today‘s mobile hardware to develop games like that again in better graphical fidelity.
They're also one of the few publishers who published decent J2ME games for non-smartphone devices. As someone from a third world country those games were one of the first gaming experiences which exposed me to the wider world of games, and I wouldn't be such a fan of gaming if this wasn't the case.
I remember playing Ferrari GT Evolution back in the day.
Also, emulation. If you have a decent enough Android phone there's tons of emulation options. Played Resi 4 gamecube version on my phone recently
I was gonna say, im surprised he didn't mention that. I have every Nintendo emulator up to citra on my phone, and citra actually runs BETTER on my phone than on my laptop 🤷♂️
@@irshkashirkle Probably for legality reasons
@@arthurdurham thats fair
I can play mw3 and sonic colors at 1440p on my oneplus 7t
@@arthurdurham emulation's totally legal tho. It's how you get the games that's unnecessarily murky. If you already have a copy of whatever game you're playing and personally dump it though, it's still 100% legal. Pretty much every game I emulate I've personally ripped/dumped myself.
Protips for this:
-For PS1/PS2, have a PC/laptop with a disc drive (CD/DVD), and the software called ImgBurn. This software allows you to rather easily rip either platform's games for use with emulators.
-For PS3, get a compatible external bluray drive, and use 13xforever's One-click PS3 Disc Dumper, or use custom firmware on a PS3 and some homebrew software.
-For Wii/GameCube/GBA/DS/3DS games, look into homebrew for the Wii and 3DS, and get a GameBoy Advance GameCube link cable. Make sure your Wii is one of the backwards compatible models (i.e. has GameCube controller ports on the top), and that's where the GBA GameCube link cable comes into play. It takes awhile, but you can dump your GBA carts using some Wii homebrew software via the ol' link cable this way.
For Wii/GameCube & DS/3DS games, simply use the relevant homebrew software on the Wii and 3DS to dump the disc/cartridge contents to external hard drive or sd card respectively, and you're gold.
You didn't mention emulation. You can have a whole library of great classics on your phone, and it's pretty easy because retroarch exists
I played Pokémon FireRed on my mobile. If it were not for mobile devices, I would have never played it on my PC
You can even run switch games soon
Nothing says aging early millennial like that intro lol
It's insane that Fate/Grand Order despite it's problems has provided me with literal hundreds of hours of dialogue or visual novel scenes and RPG gameplay, and is a testament to how beneficial mobile can be for more traditional genres like JRPG's.
Now if only Square would make GOOD ports of the Dragon Quest games...
Also there's Honkai Impact with storywriting that dwarfs the vast majority of AAA games with superinflated budgets and huge staffs.
Insane that you made this entire video without mentioning that every final fantasy from 1 to 9 and Tactics:War of the Lions are all available on the platform. Not to mention emulation which in itself is an enormous value add.
One thing to note with Genshin is that you can't go from ps4/5 to phone and take your account with you due to Sony being Sony.
Also Genshin Impact is just a casino masquerading as a game.
You can from PC to mobile though, which is awesome
@@yaosio that's gacha games for you
@@yaosio that's gacha games in general, genshin is one of the fairer ones though, compared to the money people sink on the fate series game and their ilk I've only spent ~£40 on it over the last year and I have all but 2 of the characters.

The moment I saw Final Fantasy Tactics being sold on the App Store I knew phones had at least something going on for them.
I first beat that game on my iPhone
And arguably the best version, that or the PSP WotL version. Though emulation is the best imo for that sweet 2x speed 😎
Never though I´d find Final Fantasy Tactics on the Play Store but there it is... Glad it won´t fade away once the PSP store shuts down.
@@DJWolfHouse Well I prefer psone with mods installed.
Well maybe not down to SD card with that kind of power. But something in form factor of a small smartphone with performance of current Ryzen APU's from Laptops. As microdesktop.
I really think you should have also mentioned the thing that turns a phone into a real console to the next level ... EMULATORS !
For real , from the PS1 to the PSP every nintendo console from the Gameboy to the 3DS and from the NES to the Wii ... emulators for ALL these and many more are FREE to download directly from the Play Store
The gaming potential from Emulation alone on android is INSANE
Emulation is terrible, those games look and play worse than mobile games
@@oo--7714 true , but thats only because mobile games have surpassed old console games in graphics
that doesnt make old console games any less worth playing though, and i think that mobile emulation with a ds4 controller and a phone clip is the perfect way to enjoy such games
The way I, a regular mobile gamer, sees it, there's very little competition to make mobile games better.
I play cod mobile regularly and after pubg got banned in India it's the only fps game that's good. Been waiting for competition that will ruffle the developers for so long.
There's A LOT of money to be made here yet neither are there any alternative platforms other than playstore nor variety in AAA titles.
Been waiting apex legends mobile port for an year now
Don't get me wrong there's really good games on mobile without being ported like Clash Royale, Brawl Stars etc that is made to be played in bite sized chunks
But games that is required to be played for hours, that cinematic or story driven games are so rare
You never tried indie games on phones?
no one wants to develop on mobile because of the big companies like ketchapp they steal peoples games change their graphics and rerelease them and because they are big or has contacts with google play idk their games are always at the front page while indies cant even be seen when you type their names

"Rockstar has been masterful with their ports."

One of the most exciting, fun, and thought-provoking videos I've ever seen.
My iPod Touch in 2010 was more fun than our Wii, with Tap Tap Revenge, Modern Combat 2, 3, and 4, and GTA Chinatown Wars. While I've become a PC gamer since and love building, I've always felt more comfortable with my phone for games.
Notable mentions!: Rebel Inc., The Walking Dead, XCOM, Mudrunners, and Game Dev Tycoon.
I grew up with modern combat four, nova three, Gangstar Las Vegas, and even some of Glu’s games.
I'm surprised you didn't delve into rhythm games
His finger would probably snapped
Genshin and Honkai have been filling my wants for character action/adventure games with big stories to dig into. Jedi Academy on android while not an official port has full mod support and playing a botmatch with custom maps/models is fun in short bursts.
You forget to mention Brutal Doom or Quake Touch
Already lots of comments saying "No" seconds after video release.
It baffles me why people click on a video they won't even give the time of day to watch to then just show how closed their mind is on the comments section.
I feel like people skimmed over the “controller support” but part.
But the instant response I do not blame them for.
You’ve said it. I also don’t understand why ppl can’t spend half a second to click like. You are being entertained by the hard work of channels like this, for free (essentially), the least you can do is support these creators by clicking a button.
Well, they’re not wrong. For every good game on mobile, there’s a ton of bad ones as well. And the App Store highlights those bad games first, that people literally didn’t even knew there are good games on mobile. Can’t blame people on that.
@@NeroVingian40 look buddy, I'm not blaming anyone here, what they think of 'mobile gaming' is of no consequence to me.

MOBAs are not for everyone, but Wild Rift was a big surprise for me as well, very comfortable controls.
Two Words: Assoluto Racing. Highly recommend you try it out on mobile. It's a genuinely amazing racing sim and has verrry Gran Turismo mechanics and vibes.

I played final fantasy 4 on iOS. And it was a blast.
I think some of them are clunkers on iOS.
But 1&2 aren’t even on steam but are on phones.
I think call of duty shouldnt have just made CoD mobile... I think they should of gone the way of Rockstar and ported their older games like 1 and 2 since those things can run on an unplugged toaster
I am so happy you made this video!
Yes, the marketing and dominating shitty games on google store are a big turn-off... But the potential is there! imagine if GTA San Andreas didnt release first on PS2/PC back then, bun on a smartphone first! And yes it can be a console. My PSP is long dead and i with my friends are big fan of those games. Resolution? Clip the phone to yours controller and play yours favorite multiplayer games that way... Its amazing.
I hope there'll be more people like you, Mr. Raycevick. I dream that in the future mobile gaming will unite people: from weebs like me playing gacha games to old-school gamers playing legendary classics. We just have to hope that the big companies will see the potential that the smartphones possess.
Honestly, I think streaming will take over before mobile gaming is a core development platform for game devs.
@@RusticRonnie i dont think so. Mobile Gaming is absolutely gigantic in the Asian Market, and its constantly getting bigger in other regions, and you can get somewhat real (sometimes fully) console experiences on there. Streaming might get big, but probably in the far future, because Stadia failed hard now, and i dont see a company logically trying to make streaming games big again. There are quite a quite a few problems with streaming, the input delay, phones getting fried or the games just not cutting it.

Man, this video made me realize how much I missed your work. I recently started watching Jacob Geller and he made a video called How to Write About Videos Games. It’s a love letter to his favorite articles that are about people’s experiences with different games. As some one who’s life would be nothing without music and writing (when the two combine, oh mama, I’m wet), that video really blew the cap for video essays for me. Because of that video, it’s hard for me to see video essays the same way ever again. This video made me realized why when ever you upload a video, I get excited and clear some time of my day that very day it’s uploaded to watch the video. The way you write so passionately mixed with the way your vocalizing. When you start talking more aggressively and the words you use start to take a change, I feel my emotions shift. Then you bring it down again and ground it, and I’m back to a calmer state of mind. Your humor is something that I enjoy as well. I will admit, I do not play video games nearly as much as I used to. Since I’ve graduated high school in 2018-19 and start a mentorship in music production, my love for music simply became an obsession and slowly pushed other interest aside. I’m not using the bullshit excuse of “oh, I don’t have time now”. I do have the time, I simply lost interest and have changed. From the occasional story driven game or open word game, I don’t play many games anymore. Though I wish to change that in the future. But it’s channels like these that make me want to play games again because of how these videos are written, where people speak so passionately that keep enjoying video games without actively playing them. It’s like how I can ramble on about the newest Tame Impala album, 1990s electronic music, 1960s psychedelic music, some random internet album I found on Bandcamp, literally anything electronic music, anything relating to music history, some minimalist classical piece, some face-fucked metal band named Infant Annihilator, and so on and so on (I’m starting to ramble even though I’m just writing a list) until one A.M in the morning just like you, Jacob Geller, Nakeyjakey, and a bunch of channels I watch and discover that write the beautiful created scripts that come from place of love and care for the thing they’re obsessed with: video games.
That was a lot of writing to say, Raycevick is pretty pog UwU XD Rawr!

Short answer: yes... with cloud gaming and better mobile networking.
Don't believe me? I just finished Cyberpunk 2077 on my Poco X3, and it looks amazing.
I think he was talking about triple titles run on phone hardware
Cloud gaming falls in a bit of a grey area ig
@@cjgo2966 oh, for sure, I was just adding this as a sort of counterpoint.
I expect the rise of cloud gaming to make "gaming phones" sort of irrelevant before the end of the decade. I mean why buy a portable console or thousand-euro phone when your 200€ phablet can play the latest AAA title at full quality, right?
Lol, I just completed outriders on xcloud. It looked and ran like ass cos of my internet but I still had alot of fun. Even with the crashes and glitches.
@@RougeEric that would only work if networking infrastructure expands as fast as cloud gaming is, but the reality is, it doesn’t. Could gaming is only viable in a very small portion of the world, now and anytime in the near future.
@@craigkingdon4424 Yeah, xCloud is kind of crap technologically speaking (the games selection is nice, but the tech, not so much). I'd really recommend giving Stadia and/or GeForce Now a try if you haven't... games basically feel like they're running natively if you have a decent connection (not necessarily fast, just very stable). Especially with Stadia (tends to have the lowest latency).
Didn't expect to see Sebastien Grainger shopping for vinyl records in a Raycevick video.
Did you ever hear of or play a game called Battleheart? I put more hours into that thing than The Witcher 3!
Your phone is much more powerful than the switch. Great video.
Mission Impossible on the PS1 "Hi, my name's Greg, and I'm looking for my dog" "HMMMM DOG!?" is pretty burned into my memories.

Anyone remember the J2ME mobile games? Mobile games had their own charm before 2012 (IMO).

Diamond Rush on a 2 inch flip phone screen truly was the peak of mobile entertainment back then. Good times
Raycevick,
Firstly, I just want to thank you for taking the time and learning how much potential there really is in mobile gaming, and then sharing it with the Internet. I've been playing mobile games as my primary gaming experience for basically half my life now, and I've always been shut down by others who just dismiss mobile gaming as nothing more than Angry Birds and Candy Crush. Asphalt has been my main focus for the past 2 years now, and I've even seen an eSports community grow and I've had the chance to compete in tournaments! The recent explosion of Fortnite and other titles like you mentioned are finally doing the concept of gaming on your phone justice, but like you said, there is still SO MUCH more room! For 400$, a person can buy an iPhone that can do literally anything. Cloud streaming, any mobile game out right now, AND it has enough power to emulate wii games at full speed! Decades of games just fit in my pocket now, and it's truly mesmerizing' If more work is done in the emulation space, I can see PS2 and other consoles being playable on phones in the near future. One thing that people forget about mobile gaming though, is that the potential for these devices to perform at a high graphical fidelity has been around for almost a decade now! I remember back in 2011, EA ported the entire first Dead Space game to iOS! During those early years was also Rockstar's release dates for GTA 3 and Vice City on mobile. These console ports are not recent, they ran on devices almost as old as people playing Fortnite today, and people sometimes forget that. I remember instead of an Xbox 360, I played on an iPod touch 5 gen, and I would show people Modern Combat 4 in 2012 and they were confused. They genuinely thought I was lying to them, or playing a video on my phone instead of running a real game. How could the same device that played Flappy Bird also play a true tripleA FPS game?
Speaking of Modern Combat, I want to also talk about Gameloft. Your "fuck Gameloft" was amazing. BUT. .. the Gameloft story is not as simple as people think. Yes, their games are not original in overall design. Modern Combat=COD. NOVA=Halo. Gangstar=GTA. It's painfully obvious. What people forget is the fact that these games, that I would say delivered 90% of the console experience, FIT IN MY POCKET IN 2012! There was NO other company providing that quality of game for mobile except for maybe EA and Ubisoft with some of their releases. I really encourage anyone to go back and play NOVA 3, which I consider to be the greatest mobile FPS of all time. Besides the individual games, for me and a lot of other people at the time, Gameloft provided all of those experiences that people had with console games but with our phones/iPods. People have fond memories of Halo multiplayer, I have fond memories of NOVA multiplayer. I remember spending HOURS playing instagib with random people, it was amazing. Asphalt also provided my racing fix, along with other legendary mobile racing games like Riptide. Why wait to get home to play NFS when i could get my adrenaline rush in the car or during lunch break? I remember the day the Asphalt 8 teaser trailer dropped, and I CRIED. There's no way the game could look THAT good... holy crap it looks that good... on my freaking iPOD! And im doing barrel rolls in a Bugatti! 2010-2013 was considered the Golden Age for Gameloft Games. Yes, I know how gameloft games are nowadays. BUT, in 2012, you could buy a gameloft game for 7 dollars and you didn't need to worry about ads or microtransactions, and you got essentially a console triple-A game in your pocket. However, they DID NOT sell out to Vivendi, which turned the company into the husk of its former self you see today. Vivendi FORCEFULLY bought out majority shares of Gameloft. In fact, Gameloft fought against it, but were unsuccessful. You can still tell there are people who care at Gameloft, and that part is obvious with how good Asphalt 9 is, even if the improvements aren't too drastic over Asphalt 8 which came out in 2013.
So, to wrap things up. Mobile gaming, as a result of the incredible power of mobile devices, has the potential to become the greatest form of gaming ever created. The misconceptions and low standards of people helped to turn it into what you see today. Yes, your phone can be a console. It was the console/PC for MANY people, and still is today. I have more fond memories playing Gameloft games than I do playing Battlefield, or Need For Speed. That's not to say everyone should give up their PCs and Xboxes, what I am saying is that those experiences thought to be exclusive to those devices can be translated with near-perfect accuracy onto something that you carry everyday in your pocket. Was NFS Hot Pursuit better on mobile than on PC? No way! But that was in 2010! If NFS Hot Pursuit can run on a nintendo switch, that means in can run on a majority of mobile devices today, so why is EA not jumping on that? I wish I knew... At least i can play Speed Racer: The Videogame for the Wii on my new iPhone. Which when i was a kid, I never could have imagined was possible.
To everyone saying mobile gaming is not true gaming, not only are you lying to other people and missing out on great experiences, you are lying to yourself. Play GRID: Autosport, or GTA San Andreas on your phone. You'll be very surprised.
ayy its you! love your channel
It's sad to see what Gameloft has devolved into recently. Their NOVA and Modern Combat series had heart in it. They were fun to play and delivered actually high effort content on mobile. I recently downloaded the latest Modern Combat game to relieve my memories, and holy shit did it make me sad. The game is an unbalanced pay to win piece of shit. Even though I was quite good at aiming I was constantly getting killed by players who had ridiculously op guns that you had no way of getting without spending hundreds of hours or buying it from their store.
Because of my natural and inherent aversion to mobile gaming, and well modern big-budget gaming in general, I had no clue mobile gaming advanced so far. Like, there's genuine performance and selection. The most interesting part was your point about how built-from-the-ground-up mobile games wind up inferior to straight blunt-force ports, because the mobile builds are made with built-in assumptions of a lack of capability. But as hardware improves, they can now meet the demands of many straight ports, allowing an almost or entirely identical experience. Normally you'd expect the opposite, but it shows how much potential this field has.
It helps establish that we don't need to toss mobile gaming and phones into the trash, just capitalism.
I'm downloading a Gameloft game because of this video. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY!
Muhahahaha
Yeah, retroarch + bluetooth controller and you have everything that I dreamed as kid.
No doubt there I've got more than 10 retro systems emulated on my android device and I'm living the dream although at this point I've gone the extra mile to get an android handheld just to cut out the conroller as a separate thing I need to carry. The Gpd xd plus.

Delta Touch, Quad Touch and Zeta Touch contain All of the best source ports for each specific game which allows for a wide range of modding support. From the latest versions of Gzdoom, Quakespasm, Darkplaces and Eduke32 just to name a few.
also mobile phones nowdays are a safe haven for emulation, From Atari 2600 up to Ps2 & Gamecube with AtherSX2 & Dolphin, which is by far the best ps2 emulator, highly optomized and if you have a decent enough phone and a bluetooth controller you'll be able to play the entire library.
Also I forgot to mention Half Life 1 & Half Life 2 + episodes + portal + CS Source + TF2 (the 2008 version) are now entirely playable on android thanks to source ports.
HL1 even has some mod support!
Also with Magic Dosbox and a little bit of Know-how you can easily play Dos games + Windows 95 games on your android device, with the ability to create custom profiles so that each game can be setup and launched with specific settings & controls. It's honestly quite incredible.
Once game streaming servers get 5g and 5g gets more common, mobile gaming will be infinitely better by just playing pc games with little to no latency.

The hardest part is finding GOOD games you could play with gamepad, but they do exist believe it or not.
If Switch can have so many amazing games the phone can def do it as well, since both use ARM architecture, with the SW being underpowered and outdated nowadays
