Just wandering folks, who is your faviroute game developer and why. I would say mine is valave for these reasons -

Their games are very individual in the way that no other fps' look the same.
They made the source engine, wich as far as I can see has no errors and is awesome.
Their games entertain for hours and I love the way that the half life games never have loading screens that put you somewhere else but you just move throughout the whole game resulting in a good feel of achievement.

Other ones to note would be -
Rare (rare ware)
rockstar
team 17

Naughty Dog.

Because Crash 1, 2, 3 and CTR are ace, and so is Uncharted.

And their logo, with the exploding crate, is ace.

Blizard.

Fuck WoW... I love Starcraft (almost more then life).

Really though, Blizzard has never made a bad video game. Every game that's come out of their building has been perfection. Even WoW, with all of it's downfalls, is still a really well done game. And for people that have the time, money, and patients to sink into it love it.

But really, name a bad Blizzard game. It just simply can't be done. Rock N Roll Racing is still one of my favs to this day. The Lost Vikings was excellent too.

Oh noes, he liekz teh nintendo gaems! Must be a fanboy. Zelda and Metroid are two of the best game series in existence. Mario games like SM64, SMB 3, and Super Mario RPG are all fucking better than most games being released today.

I'm tied between Nintendo/bioware/Capcom

Bioware- KoTOR mainly, but they have several other great games
Capcom- Resident Evil

Bathesda are pretty damn good at making pretty damn good games.
i must say, not one of their games has disappointed me.

Rockstar Games, hmmm...
they were my favourite, untill the tradgedies on April the 29th.
thousands of people were scammed out of their cash and bought what they though would be the best damn game to ever hit anything, EVEr. but no, all they got has a shitty game.

MediaMolecule, little big planet looks fucking ace.

Konami (and Kojima Productions), has produced THE best games as of 1987 when they released Metal Gear... let's hope they don't follow it the footsteps of Rockstar and Bungie by turning such a big name into a fucking big brown stain.

1st - Konami - (Kojima Productions)
2nd - Bethesda Softworks
3rd - Evolution studios - (SONY), sharing third place along side with Insomniac Games.
4th...
5th...

5746325943rd - Electronic Arts, for buying everything and turning everything into pure stale crap.
5746325944th - Rockstar Games, for fucking up the GTA series.

not sure if any of that above makes sense? oh fucking well, im sure you'll live.

The best developers are probably:
- Nintendo (Mario and stuff, you know the deal)
- Rare (Awesome games like Banjo-Kazooie and Starfox Adventures)
- Capcom (Mainly because of old classics like Street Fighter)
- Namco ( Old classics like Dig Dug and Pac-man but newer games too for example: The Tales series, Soul Calibur and Katamari Damacy)

The best around.


In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Yeah I think I would probably have to go with Valve. Their games are so easy to tweak and implement skins for. Not very demanding on the system either.

Rockstar is actually a publisher (owned by Take-Two Interactive), I think. Rockstar North is the developer. And they're among my favorites.

Anyway, my absolute favorite is, obviously, Nintendo R&D 4 (or just Nintendo. I don't think they're called that anymore). Too many classics to count.

Other favorites of mine include Rare (back in the day, though the new Banjo-Kazooie looks promising), Harmonix, BioWare, Ubisoft Montreal, Infinity Ward, and for the sake of obligation, the Behemoth.

Activision and Ubisoft have really sprouted, but you can't go wrong with Nintendo.

Harmonix - For creating the glory that is Guitar Hero
Neversoft - For, despite what other people who started the series on GH I+II say, doing an excellent job taking over the Guitar Hero series
Square-Enix - Because sometimes I need a over-budgeted, pretentious JRPG fix
Atlus - Because sometimes I need an incredibly quirky, charming, low-budget JRPG fix (although most of what they do is publishing)
Nintendo - Let's face it, they're probably the reason that most of us play videogames
Doublefine - Because Tim Schaefer is awesome
Kojima Productions - Because Hideo Kojima is awesome
The Behemoth - Because brown-nosing is awesome

Probably some others too, but if they don't immediately come to mind than they're probably not worth my attention.

This is a tough catagory.

Capcom - thank you for Resident Evil.

Activision - without whom Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 wouldn't have been possible.

Nintendo - the master creators that saved the video game industry & gave us gaming's biggest icons.

EA - I love the 007's they've made. I also hear their line of Madden football games have done okay.

Rare - their greated achievement- 007: Goldeneye.

Ubisoft - they took a gamble and made Tom Clancy's novels into some great games.

Bungie - I've wasted so many hours of my life to Halo I had to at least mention them.

I would say:

Valve, because there games are all unique for FPS games and they're great to play, also left 4 dead looks absolutely amazing.

Grasshopper Manufacture for breaking the bonds of generic gaming by creating No More Heroes and Killer7.

And, of course, Valve and Rockstar, for reasons that have been already pointed out in this thread.
