Favourite game company developers/producers (2 Viewers)

Your favourites?

Capcom have been one of my favourites, and have proven to be quite consistent over the past decade. The Street Fighter seriers, the Marvel VS crossover series, Megaman and Resident Evil (off the top of my head) are all excellent and considered classics in their own right. They're still keeping it fresh with new, more innovative games such as the Viewtiful Joe and Devil May Cry series. Okami on the PS2 is definitly something to look out for, should be out near the end of this month here in Australia.

Treasure have made some real gems, Gunstar Heroes and Ikaruga in particular. Wish I could have a crack at Guardian Heroes on the Sega Saturn.

My top three favourite games of all time were developed by the now defunct team from Bioware/Black Isle. A damn shame they're now disbanded. I think some of the staff members are working with Obsidian now?

Nintendo's first party support for their systems provides the real backbone to their consoles. It's been great the way they have transformed a lot of their franchises - Mario, Zelda and Metroid in particular.

Hahahahaha, OMG you are hilarious!!! :rofl:

Me? Lucasarts pre-1997, blizzard have always produced quality if frustrating games, EPIC used to be good, westwood used to be good...Today everything is merging.

Soon everything will be a sports/action clone produced by EA...

i'll say EA because they made the sims.

And nintendo because they made the wii and zelda and wii sports.

 

[bazookajoe]

Nintendo of course. Nobody can come close to them.

Rare before they became a Microsoft company were amazing as well

 

[S1M0]

Blizzard. Because they're are always full of polish and quality.

Square Enix. Because of Final Fantasy, a series of capitivating games.

 

[ObjectsInSpace]

Square-Enix, Kojima Productions and Polyphony Digital.

 

[korrupt samurai]

Square-Enix, Blizzard and Valve

Rare use to be super cool. Almost half of my N64 games are by rare. Then Microsoft ate them for nearly half a billion dollars. Now they make pretty un-exceptional games.

Square are great for their FF games. Konami have made so many classic games.
The makers of the new Metroid games deserve some recognition (though, embarrasingly enough, i can't remember their name off the top of my head - retro something :/).

Right now though, (If Rare wasn't Micro-raped), nintendo win easily. So damn inventive. They really know how to make good games - Zelda and Mario.

FUCK ELECTRONIC ARTS


No game angers me more than ludicrously long loading times in EA games such as Battlefield 2. FUCK ELECTRONIC ARTS

Rareware - Fucking awesome track record the whole way through. Outstanding befor the N64, bloody unbeatable quality for the N64 and a slight decrease in quality post-64. The N64 is my favourite console, if only for the games. Half of my games are Rareware games, which gives a good indication of just how good they were. Honestly, they're unbeatable.

EAD/Shigeru Miyamoto - Hehe, no explanation needed really. The man is a bloody genius who sets out to make games fun and by and large, always succeeds. I listed EAD to give em some credit, but really, it all belongs to Shigsy. Anyone that can bring Zelda and Mario into 3D and make them better than they were before is a genius.

iD (for the quake series)

Ubisoft: all their games are region-free and fantastic. they also come on forums and keep people updated .

 

[uhawww]

I agree with Capcom and reason given in first post.

Squaresoft was good.
Square-Enix is more like, milk, milk, milk, milk, milk, milk. From a business point of view though, it's working and they're rolling in it.

 

[jemsta]

i think rockstar is decent too

I second the Konami nomination.

i'll say EA because they made the sims.
