What developer do you think is King right now?

Your thoughts? Not the developer that pumped out quantity but quality.

Put it this way... if you had an idea for your dream game who would you hire to develop it.

Probably Blizzard.

Well if GW2 lives upto the hype I think ArenaNet are going to be the new big guys on the block.

If you're looking for resources and talent than Blizzard is hard to beat. What other developer has created the gold-standard for THREE separete genres (MMO, RTS, ARPG)?

I would have to say the indie developer is king.

Bruin1986

That was my train of thought. If wanted someone to make my game, it would be the company that's literally rolling around in money.

Bioware

Apart from DA 2 l enjoyed every other game.

Valvey-Valve?

EA DICE.... especially when it comes to pcs.

as far as pushing innovation, evolution and balance of graphic technology and fps mutlipayers.

Volition Inc., Avalanche Studios, and Id.Zubinen

I do agree with Volition, they've had two very fun games this year (it's too bad about what happened to the Red Faction series, always been a fan of that). I would also say Bioware (but then again I'm a bioware fanboy :P ) but DA2 did hurt them quite a bit (although the SWTOR beta seemed very promising imo), but they have to get Mass Effect 3 right or they'll lose a lot of fans, more so that when DA2 was released

Yup. :)

I wouldn't say their king, but I would want them to build my game. CD Projekt Red! PC exclusive developer will always get my vote.slabber44

Except they are no longer PC exclusive. The Witcher 2 is slated for release on the Xbox 360 in 2012. I still like them a lot though and I know they need to make money...

Blizzard is the developer king.
