With all the Destiny talk going multiplatform next gen, it got me wondering what other exclusive game developers (with epic story telling and technical proficiency) would be nice if they go multi next gen. And thought of Naughty Dog.

So the criteria for the "which dev is better" comparison is:

1- Technical Proficiency: (game mechanics & controls, online, graphics, AI, number of enemies on screen, size of maps, etc..)

2- Design and story telling (Epic story telling, enviorment immersiveness, coop & mutliplayer design elements).

3- Successful franchises (sales, popularity, fanbase, etc..).

4- Tilt (your own personal preference).

Uncharted 2 and the old Crash 2 were the two only games I like from Naughty Dog. But then again, Halo 1 is the only Halo game I finished too. So I cant really compare.

ND created some of the best 3d platform series (Crach B. and Jak & Daxter), and one of the best games this gen (Uncharted 2).

Bungie created one of my favourite games of all time (Halo CE).

I would say they are tied.

Bungie's excellence in the last decade has been with how good Halo: CE was in 2001, and their multiplayer with Halo 2, 3, and Reach. Outside of that their campaigns with Halo 2, 3, ODST, and Reach are mostly average with some out right garbage to go with it(Halo 2).

Naughty Dog has the original Jak and Daxter and Uncharted 2 as really good/great, with some mostly good work with Uncharted 3/Jak 2(I get the appeal, but I prefer the originals brand of gameplay). Naughty Dog is the better bet if you want something to play solo. But for multiplayer stuff it's Bungie.

Better dev in your categories, honestly it be a real toss up given how many different parts you listed into one broad category.

Richer pedigree goes to Bungie by far. I think this board and Bungies fanbase doesn't take into account how much some of Bungies older games(most specifically marathon) don't really hold up well now, but for their time they were good enough. Myth at the least is supposedly really good. Although Naughty Dog's worst job in awhile is probably Uncharted 1, and it wouldn't come close to being the stinker that was Oni.

Bungie is has one SOLID series called Halo. They are pretty good at story telling and great at gameplay and game content. ND is great at creating great gaming series each gen. Always with a fresh susccessful game franchise with each new Playstation. Very good story telling and respectable gameplay. My vote edges for ND.

Bungie created a series that sold a system. That is a pretty huge accomplishment. Without the Halo series, the original Xbox would have been a huge flop, and we wouldn't have seen a 360. Nobody has been able to touch the quality of the multiplayer in Halo in my opinion.

Oooo, tough question. Here's an equally tough question -- Who makes better movies, Steven Spielberg or Uwe Boll?

[spoiler] How is Naughty Dog even worth considering? Bungie is an Everest of importance to Naughty Dog's pebble of insignificance. [/spoiler]

4- Tilt (your own personal preference).

Mystery_Writer

Technical Proficiency : Tie

Design and Story telling: Naughty Dog

Successful Franchise: Bungie

Personal Preference: Naughty Dog.

Its difficult to ascertain a reason why one developer is better than the other, the criterias can never be enough as some would argue Naughty Dog has had more successful new IP, Bungie has had a massive successful IP. Also developers have their strengths and weaknesses.

Naughty Dogs strength is more found in their single player games historically, while Bungie is more strong with multiplayer and an individuals answer would depend on which of those criteria suits their personal interest. You cant expect someone who places more value on multiplayer to chose Naughty Dog has a strong developer and vice versa

Here is an example of someone who places personal interest in judging the developers as i mentioned before.

Bungie is more critically acclaimed and I believe has sold more soft ware. Other than that, it's just personal opinion.

Naughty Dog, the only good thing Bungie did was Halo "wow". ND on the other hand has made 3 great franchises in a row.

Mostly depends if I was in the mood for single player or multiplayer.

Guess I'd do go with Bungie though, love their community support.

I'm not very high on Bungie, but one amazing game, Halo CE, is better than none, so Bungie gets my vote.
