Poll: Best Devloper

[Deralix]

ID:They invented the FPS as we know it and keep making the best ones.

 

[Hippobatman]

Bethesda.

Elder Scrolls series and Fallout 3. Would you ever need to step outside again?

 

[Internet Kraken]

You know, Turbine won March Mayhem, yet not a single person has said Turbine is the best developer in this thread.

Wonder what that means.

 

[Green Tentacle]

I'd like to go with Enix, before they turned into Square Enix. But if I had to choose from these developers I guess I'll go with Bioware.

 

[Nazulu]

Blizzard was my first love. Starcraft saved my life

Blizzard was my first love aswell back in the days of Warcraft 2.

I would, but the only games I play by them are starcraft and warcraft 3

Thats enough to me, I still play them!

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Didn't we have an entire tournament to decide this. I belive Turbine won but there not even on the list and isn't microsoft a company not a devolper.

Microsoft Game Studios creates games as well.

And please include Rockstar in the poll.

But I'm next to 100% sure that there studios did not create any of those games. Also I'm all for Rockstar but why stop there why not throw in Harmonix since they are the greatest pioneers in Rythm games (Creating both rock band and the Guitar hero franchise.) Ubisoft (thousands of people love Prince of persia and Assanins Creed.) Square Enix (Final Fantasy... I rest my case.)

 

[TaborMallory]

Valve has some excellent games, and Bethesda has some pretty damn addicting games. Although, Blizzard brought forth Starcraft, one of the 5 games I still enjoy playing.
Sorry Valve, but my vote lies with Blizzard.

Didn't we have an entire tournament to decide this? I believe Turbine won but they're not even on the list, and isn't microsoft a company, not a developer?

That damn tournament decides nothing other than how many fans the developer has.

I think Microsoft Game Studios do alot actually. Their names are certainly on enough things.

And I agree that it's odd that Ubisoft atleast isn't on there. But Rockstar is still better. Then again, there is limited space on the polls...

Microsoft Game Studios is more of a combination of a bunch of developers making games that Microsoft will publish. The developers still keep their own identities, and all remain fairly independent, so I don't think that would make Microsoft Game Studios its own developer.

Really? I was not aware of that. Damn Microsoft lying to me.

In that case I was wrong and Microsoft doesn't deserve to be on the poll. Taking credit for others' work. Despicable.

 

[RebelRising]

I would go for Bioware, as they have created my favorite RPGs to date. I love most of these developers for their own games, but I've never been so entranced and excited by a game as much I have with Mass Effect.

After reading OXM's new cover article on Mass Effect 2, I can hardly contain my excitement.

Well now the Op can replace two spots on the Poll. Microsoft and ID. May I suggest Rockstar and Ubisoft. Also I'm sure that he can post at least one or two more options.

So i recently made a best replay value poll and it got me wondering what developer would you choose if you could only play their games? for those of you unfamiliar with any of the Dev.'s ill list a few games they made. also let me know if anyone wants to add a Dev if at least 2 ppl want them up ill put em up
Note: Valve fanboys please think first i know valve is amazing no disputing that but just think
Note#2: im not exactly asking whos the best im asking if you could only play their games yes the best might be a good option but sometimes the best only has certain games This is NOT march Madness

1)Blizzard: Starcraft, Warcraft, WOW, Diablo
2)Valve: Half Life, The orange Box
3)Microsoft: Fable,Halo,Gears, conker, Perfect Dark
4)Bethesda: Elder Scrolls, Fallout 3
5)Bioware: MassEffect, KOTOR
6)ID: DOOM, Quake, Wolfenstien
7)Relic: Dawn of War, Homeworld

Microsoft only makes Flight Simulator, which is an excellent game, I might add, but I'm getting carried away. Fable was made by Lionhead, Halo was made by Bungee, Gears was made by Epic, Conker was made by Rare, as was Perfect Dark. Microsoft published those games. That's like me saying 2K games is the best because of Oblivion, Bioshock, Mafia and Call of Cthulhu, all at once.

Also, there are more developers than just those.

AND, we had a competition in March to see who the greatest dev was, and Turbine won. (oh, I see you already covered this. My mistake)

AND, Firaxis is not on there, man! If I could play games by one dev, it'd definitely be Firaxis. Their games have INFINITE replay value. All of them.

3)Microsoft: Fable,Halo,Gears, conker, Perfect Dark, age of empires

Microsoft didn't make any of these games.

They made Age of Empires, at least.

Nope, thats ensemble studios

 

[Pimppeter2]

Bethesda, still playing oblivion from launch

 

[BioHazard19]

I had to debate between BioWare and Valve, but I eventually chose BioWare because I loved KOTOR so much.

 

[eelel]

it is a tie between valve and bioware for me they have both created games that i really like and it is hard for me to pick just one
