Designer X + Designer Y = Best Game Ever?

[Super Toast]

Zynga + anything ran by Activision

We want the best game ever, not the opposite. Zynga just plain isn't good at making games. They are excellent at getting people addicted, however.

OT: BioWare and Bethesda. Not very original, I know...

 

[Boom129]

Bioware+Valve
Valve is always the answer if time isn't an issue

 

[Quantum Star]

Hideo Kojima and Suda 51. Come on, you know it would be the greatest thing ever.

 

[wildpeaks]

Double Fine & Valve (& Michel Ancel).

Beat that :-D

 

[IncredibleTurnip]

Bioware + Capcom....

 

[ImmortalDrifter]

Valve's writing+Bethesda gameplay= A video game so unimaginably epic it would cause the end of existence.

 

[Naeberius]

Bethesda + Volition, Cyrodil Row. Imagine the huge enviroments of Oblivion with the zany antics of Johnny Gat.

 

[CrystalShadow]

Nitendo and Apple. Yeah, apple isnt a game company, but they have such an emphasis on good hardware that they would be able to bring nintendo back to the big leagues with their games

Bleh. No thanks. In my experience, Nintendo products are better engineered than apple ones.

Apple is great if you want style... But they always seem to sacrifice something practical in the design.

 

[Cheesebob]

Hideo Kojima and Suda 51. Come on, you know it would be the greatest thing ever.

You sir are a madman. And Correct.

Monolith + Epic Games At least they might be able to teach them how to make good games again.

Bethesda + Id An RPGFPS in the rage engine with Bethesda's huge worlds? Yes please

 

[KalosCast]

Obsidian writes the story, Bioware does the dialog, Square Enix does the CG, Valve heads the play-testing.

 

[UltamaKilla]

Mojang and Valve

 

[spectrenihlus]

Crytek and Bethesda

Imagine a Fallout game that looked and played like Far Cry 2.

 

[NovaCascade]

Hideo Kojima + Team Ico = Twice the Awesome, but it can be understood by the average mortal

 

[RandV80]

Notch + Sid Meier present: Minevilization.

Civilization already does the random world generation minecract does, it's just not in an explorable 3d world. So if you're going to go that route you may as well combine Civilization with The Elder Scrolls.

Still close to my own pick though, which would be Civilization: Total War!

...I would never leave the house.

 

[Vibhor]

Interplay (original makers of fallout) + funding

This multiplied by gazillions of millions.
For my choice, I would go with Bethesda and Bioware.
And if I would be given another one then I would choose Valve and People can fly.

 

[steelguy17]

I resent people putting popcap in with zynga, just because they both make casual games, but popcap actually makes solid games that are stand-alone (plants vs zombies anyone?) not some facebook application.

I myself would choose insomniac and valve just because I would love to see what kind of weapons they could come up with mixing ratchet and clank and TF2.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

I don't know why but I just thought of Bungie + Valve......don't know why.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Nah, Bethesda? Wouldn't work. Now Bioware plus Obsidian, that's a match made in heaven. I mean last time those studios loosely cooperated we were left with Baldur's Gate, possibly the greatest pc rpg franchise ever.

Baldur's Gate was built by Bioware on the Infinity Engine which was also created by Bioware. Icewind Dale was created by Black Isle (the remnants of which would become Obsidian) using Bioware's Infinity Engine. Neverwinter Nights 2 was made by Obsidian using Bioware's Aurora engine.

Baldur's Gate has nothing to do with Black Isle I suppose is what I'm getting at here.
