Name your top 6 Developers, Sup Forums

Name your top 6 Developers, Sup Forums.
I'm interested in people's opinions.

You can base them off games they've made and how they interact with the community that plays their games.

top 1 gaben newell because he made cs:go and dota which are the best online games

That's a given. You can't count him.

1. Nintendo
2. Bungie
3. Blizzard
4. Riot
5. Gamefreak
6. Rockstar

1) Nintendo I like how they do game design, and they've pumped out a tonne of classics, even if there's many duds in the mix

2) Free Radical RIP.

3) Platinum Games had a couple let-downs, but overall I like the CUHRAYZEE-ness of their games. I hope their recent endeavours aren't a sign of struggle for the company.

4) Capcom Despite being somewhat scummy these days, they've also put out too many classics to be ignored

5) Insomniac Games Underrated developer that I barely see talked about, they've put out a lot of great games and added a lot to the platformer genre as a whole. I'm still annoyed at the direction Naughty Dog went, otherwise I'd include them here, too

If you had to replace Free Radical with something current what would you choose?

1. Nintendo
2. Platinum

all I care about

Can i name older developers that are dead now?

>replace Free Radical
Get the fuck out, you can't replace them

OP didn't say you can't

In no particular order

1. Nintendo EAD
They make classics, what else is there to be said.

2. Retro Studios
Everything they've touched for Nintendo has been really solid.

3. Bethesda Game Studios
You can Toddpost all you want but when it comes down to it, the Elder Scrolls series are my favorite games, they're incredibly immersive and I like open ended exploring and modding.

4. Arenanet
Guild Wars 2 does some things wrong I'll admit that, but they also do a ton of things right for quality of life in an MMO and really other MMO devs need to pick up on some of that shit to make for more jolly cooperation communitiee. Plus I like how visible they are in game, you can readily see Arenanet employees in game, you can make friends with them, talk to them, you might end up PVP'ing or doing events with them. I once showed an environmental artist a hole in the world and we went exploring together, it was fun.

5. Blizzard
They consistently have polish in everything they do. Everything they make is pretty simple to get into and very addictive.

6. Platinum Games
Best action games in the business. Kamiya being an abrasive troll is just a hilarious bonus.

1. Nintendo
2. Gamefreak
3. Nintendo America

1. Cdprojekt
2. Rockstar
3. Larian
4. Insomniac
5. From software

I just realised I forgot number 6, here it is:

6) Retro Studios consistently great, but a bit lacking in output. Honestly these should be a bit higher than 6 but I forgot to include them in the list.

>Kojimashit
>Rockshit

Those are the only two I can say I like the majority of games by, and even they have taken serious downturns recently.

From would be there if they'd stop making the same game over and over again.

Nintendo would be up there if they released new IPs and new 3D adventure games faster than 1/15,000 years.

Blizzard would be up there if they hadn't gone off the deep end with their casualshit.

If I could name more than 6 I would have also liked to include Larian and Cdprojekt, but I just haven't played enough of their games to include in that 6.

I still haven't played Witcher 2 because my 750TI and i5 don't want to run it on anything higher than medium at a decent framerate, so I'm holding on until I upgrade.

well then

>Treasure
is there even something to not like them? all the games they made are fucking amazing and fun
>Platinum
see above, but their highs are higher and their lows are lower
>FromSoftware
Soulsbourne and armored core are great
>Capcom
they used to be huge, but i feel that they are coming back bit by bit
>SIE Japan Studio
i don't think they are the main developer, but they helped develop a lot of stuff like shadow of the colossus, demon souls, gravity rush, soul sacrifice and freedom wars
>falcom
fukken love Ys

Special mention to respawn, nigoro, grasshoper and arc system works

-Nintendo
-From
-Platinum

I cant even think of any others I like.

1. Bioware
2.Blizzard
3.Cd red project
4.Bethesda
5.Obsidian
6.Bungie

valve
marvelous
capcom
falcom
atlus

Rare
Nintendo
Capcom
Treasure
Namco
Konami

Well, if I could name defunct studios (like Black Isle), developers that from my perspective have fallen from grace (like Blizzard or Paradox) or developers that were and still appear respectable but that haven't made anything I personally care about for a good while (like Toys for Bob with Star Control and Bungie with Marathon and Myth) then it would be easy. But it would seem bizarre to name Blizzard as one of my top developers when I hate everything neo-Blizzard has made and stands for. So let's forget about them.

In their current state, CD Projekt RED is a respectable modern AAA dev even if their best game was their first one. Taleworlds Entertainment and Illwinter Game Design are also easy for me to name. Then it gets really difficult. I'll go with Enormous Elk, Bay 12 Games and NetHack devteam.

*best online scams

5. Platinum
4. Sony(First Party games as a whole)
3. Capcom
2. Nintendo(First Party Games as whole)
1. Atlus

cant think of a 6th one

In no particular order...

>From Software
>Kalipso
>Paradox
>Bungie
>Bioware
>bethesda.

Atlus
Platinum Games
Sega
Insomniac Games
Capcom
can't really think of a 6th one.

1. Monolith soft
2. Retro studios
3. Platinum games
4. Tie between Nintendo/Sony Computer Entertainment
5. SquareSOFT
6. from software

Sony aren't a developer, they're a publisher

Are we talking about companies or people?

Platinum Games/Inaba/Kamiya (for half the shit the push out)
Sakaguchi (for Final Fantasy)
Shigeru (for being batshit crazy on stage)
Kojima (for being batshit crazy)
Nomura (for TWEWY and KH)

None.

square enix
fromsoft
nintendo
rockstar
platinum
kojima

but not in that order I just like their games the most, but can't decide which one I like more desu

Probably talking about Japan Studio

1. Nintendo
2. Larian
3. CD Projekt Red
4. Blizzard
5. Platinum Games
6. Playground Games (Horizon is the best non-sim racing game. Only missing some kind of progression)

Declining: Rockstar (4 had better online)
Watched: Techland (Didn't really like Dead Island but Dying Light was a massive step up for me. Also Gunslinger).
Need to get their shit together:
Bioware (DA2 went into the trash, ME3 and SWTOR had some good spots but were largely disappointing, but liked Inquisition. Andromeda could turn their opinion around but they are developing that game the wrong way).
Capcom (Highest ceiling, dumbest management)
Polyphony Games (should be obvious)

1.CD Projekt Red
2.CD Projekt Red
3.Valve
4.CD Projekt Red
5.CD Projekt Red

Should count Nintendo EAD and SPD as separate developers or just as Nintendo?

Shanghai Alice.

Thats it.
The games I like are from developers that probably im thinking a degenerate.

1) Platinum Studios
2) Blizzard
3) Nintendo EAD
4) Capcom
5) Clover Studios

In no particular order.

I'd probably go
6) Vanillaware
7) Atlus/P studio
8) CAVE
9) SquareSoft
10) Arkane Studios

Sir-Tech Canada
GSC Gameworld
Westwood
Egosoft
