Overview: | Porting several versions of a mobile game is key to ensuring that each gamer, regardless of whether the handset is outdated or the latest and greatest, is able to have the best gaming experience possible on their mobile phone. Gameloft has had vast experience in this field with the launch of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. For this title, Gameloft ported 700 versions of the game application to various handsets. All of the porting and testing was done in-house in order to ensure the quality of the game. It is important to port several versions of a game to as many handsets as possible in an effort to reach a wider audience of mobile phone users. |
