Favourite Developer?

[elitecrewer]

Not publisher, developer.

For me, it's an incredibly close-run affair between Blizzard and Valve. With Starcraft, Diablo 2, WoW, Warcrafts 2 & 3 versus HL1&2, CS, DoD, TF2, L4D, Ricochet, DmC etc (sorry for the masses of abbreviations), both sides have compelling arguments.

But it's got to be Blizzard. Valve have relied on mods to come up with most of their games, and have covered just one genre. Blizzard have done a lot more.

Anyone else?

same thing here. but add Relic to the mix. blizzard has the worst customer service of all time, but they have made awesome games.


Edit: how can i forget Konami, and bandai namco. konami made a alot of good manga games (naruto uzumaki chronicles) and bandai made DBZ: budokai and budokai tenkaichi.

Valve are great, I just got annoyed with L4D being too slow for my PC. I fully intend to get the Orange Box through Steam ASAP, and I think American McGee is possibly my favourite indie developer (yes, I know he does have a company, but I recently bought Alice and that wasn't made by him as part of a big project with EA or whoever...).

 

[balimuzz]

Valve, simply because of awesome games combined with incredible care for their community. Steam FTW!!!

My favorite developer is Slant Six because they made SOCOM Confrontation and SOCOM Tactical Strike.

 

[AkJay]

Valve.

 

[CompanionCube]

Valve all the way. They're one of the few developers that give actually good free content.

 

[orangebandguy]

Valve! Although I won't get arguementative about it, I just play alot of TF2.

 

[SmilingKitsune]

There are so many developers I love, Bethesda softworks, Lionhead, Epic games, Valve, Media Molecule, and many more besides those.
I don't think I'd ever be able to choose my overall favourite.
Edit: How the hell did I forget Team Ico?

 

[oliveira8]

Valve, Blizzard, Bethesda and others.

 

[Shapsters]

Bethseda is number one they made my two favourite Xbox games, and Valve because The Orange Box is fantastic.

 

[Zyconis]

Valve.
I'm pretty sure Valve is going to be at least 75% of the votes.
Especially when you think about how awesome Steam is.

I could've sworn we had a contest about this last month... something about Mayhem... or something. /sarcasm

I dunno, Bethesda is pretty cool. I really like Sq.Enix though, I like JRPGs. Bungie is cool, too. And Nintendo.

 

[avouleance]

insoniac and team ico they make some of the best games i have ever played

 

[Rand-m]

Valve or Bethesda. Probably Valve.

 

[waggmd]

Bioware and Nintendo are my favourite developers.

 

[cannot_aim]

Blizzard, Valve, Bioware, Infinity ward and some others I can't remember right now

 

[VeloceRapper]

Anyone but Turbine, but more specifically Valve

 

[Radeonx]

Valve, because when it comes down to it, no game has kept me as entertained as a Valve game.
