Developers That Don't Get As Much Recognition As They Deserve

Naughty Dog gets plenty of credit. As they're a Playstation only dev, you just have to go to Playstation focused forums to hear it.Offworlder said:
Now, the guy who mentioned Insomniac, that I agree with. Granted, I don't like Resistance very much, but that's who needs it? Ratchet and Clank is still friggin' awesome! Hopefully when Insomniac does their multiplatform game, more people will see how great they are.
TellTale Games needs more credit too. It seems like every time there's a story about them or one of their games here, people have no idea what games they've made and/or think they made something they did not make.
Capcom.
I think people underestimate how goddamn complicated Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Street Fighter 4 are. The amount of testing that had to be done to get those games to an even semi-balanced state is MIND-BOGGLING.
On the other hand... their non-fighting games have been pretty poor recently. But still, their fighting game franchises are on a whole other level compared to their competition.

Starbreeze. They accomplished the impossible and made a fantastic game out of a movie ip. Escape from Butcher Bay is one of the most innovative games to come out of the previous generation. It seamlessly AND I MEAN SEAMLESSLY blends stealth, gunplay and melee with and has a great setting and atmosphere. Dark Athena ain't bad either.
IO solely for hitman. The hitman series is one of those niche franchises that is just so fucking good it can't even be described in words.

They did say CD Projekt Red rather than whoever earned your ire there but I guess that they are hyped to insane levels by fans anyway so I don't see why they are lacking the recognition they deserve. As are Naughty Dog if you look in the right places. I guess I don't see the point in this thread, unless we are just naming devs who have slightly less rabid fanboys than Bioware or Valve.Projo said:
Thankyou! Yes they need to pick up their bug and glitch fixing issues but they're one of the few developers who put story first. In fact, they're one of the few developers who's game I've played has actually had an effect on the way I view the world. Stories that actually enrich my life are sadly rare in the game industry.AlternatePFG said:

Tale Worlds (Mount & Blade is amazingly fun)
Clover
Beep Industries (You may have had your death-knell after Voodoo Vince but damnit you won't be forgotten)
Johnson Voorsanger Productions/Toejam and Earl Productions (Toejam and Earl need I say any more?)
