Who is your favourite Developer

[Fitzcaraldo]

Mojang Specifications. Minecraft is brilliant and they have a huge potential.

 

[EllEzDee]

My favourite developer would have to be Bioware and Bethesda, they make their games well. Although, Bethesda could of beta tested New Vegas

New Vegas was developed by Obsidian, not Bethesda.

 

[Bernzz]

Intelligent Systems ... they make freakin' Fire Emblem and Advance Wars :O

P.S. if Free Radical was still alive then that would be a very close second.

Oh fuck yes. Advance Wars all the way.

That, or Camelot. Golden Sun is amazing.

Else, I like Bethesda for Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls, and Obsidian for New Vegas.

And if I ever wanted a 3D Metroid game, I'd choose Retro Studios. Metroid Prime is incredible.

Rockstar Games make my favorite games and some of the best game around. Can't wait to see how L.A Noire plays out

 

[somerandomguy76]

Bungie for me. Even if you don't like Halo, check out their earlier games. The Marathon and Myth trilogies in particular. And Pimps at Sea of course...

Bioware takes second.

hell yeah

 

[Bobbity]

Bioware, Bethesda and Blizzard. Yeah, I am a huge RPG whore.

 

[verdugo136]

i would say konami, i just love the games they make

 

[MattRooney06]

Much respect for NOT putting a poll here.

For me it used to be Rare, but them Microsoft bought them and their quality went to hell. Then it was Pandemic, but then EA bought and crucified them.

I guess it'd have to be Lucasarts. From the ones I've played there's been more hits than misses.

if i wanted to put a poll that would have been acurate i would have had to list every developer...looking trhough some peoples choices i would have left out a lot

 

[bloodmonkey]

Didn't we do a massive vote on this under a year ago =p
Valve just about won, and rightly so in my mind.

Still can't believe Zynga beat out 3 of my very favourites (before you ask, Infinity Ward is not one of them)

 

[ClassicJokester]

I'd have to say Bungie. Other devs have made games that I enjoyed more, but as far as the actual people that make up the studio, they top my list.

I loved Marathon and Oni, and kept on liking them with Halo.

They seem to do a good job of not taking themselves too seriously, laughing at their mistakes, and their community team does a fantastic job. I listen to podcasts -which I find phenomenally funny- and extra material (the remastered H1 and H2 cinematics were awesome) whenever I can, and Joe Staten and Marty O'Donnell seem like pretty cool guys. Who kill aliens and blah blah blah...

 

[Karilas]

Two words. Sensible. Software.

All you goal scoring superstar heroes know what I'm talking about when I say war has never been so much fun.

Also, @kman123 - Is you avatar the cover of Somewhere in the Between? That is a power awesome album. Streetlight FTW!

 

[Korolev]

Valve! Then BioWare! Then Nintendo! And then Square Enix. Yes, I didn't like FFXIII at all, but I still have a fondness for their previous games.

 

[theriddlen]

Valve. All hail Gabe and The Great Chicken Wing!

 

[Teixas]

Epic Games no need to say why i assume (Unreal engine )
From Software, on the armored core series

 

[02y211]

Blizzard. That is all.

 

[Aisyah Fatihah]

Valve. I don't care if their games are delayed, as long as they're great I'm fine with it. And Frictional Games, because their horror games make me have nightmares.

 

[Melian]

Definitely Bioware, if we're sticking to companies that still exist. Otherwise, Black Isle Studios or Sierra.

 

[irishstormtrooper]

Insomniac would be my choice. I loved all of the Ratchet and Clank and Resistance games.

 

[shadowmagus]

Have to go with Bioware on this one. They have consistently made great games imo and I look forward to each project so much I follow SW:TOR, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age on their respective sites constantly. Everything they put out for me has turned to gold and I'm really hoping for continued success for them.
