GAMESPOT LAW: Who is the GREATEST GAME DEVELOPER OF ALLTIME?

Insomniac

Bioware is great.

All hail BioWare! :P

Lots of choices

-ND

-Rockstar

-Blizz

-Valve

I can't see the poll.

My choice would be Squaresoft. Though Square is now Square Enix, they have yet to reach the level of Squaresoft.

Nintendo and Valve. Blizzard would have been on the list but they butchered Starcraft story with the cheesy lines and clichés in SC2.

They made a good move with the PC version of DMC 4

Did you use the 360 controller or the keyboard?

I tried playing the demo using the keyboard and got my ass handed down to me :(

why can't they make a JRPG with Nero and Dante working together? Much better than what they're doing with the new DMC. *sigh*

Well the new Dante looks terrible ( :cry: )but I think DmC won't be that bad. Ninja Theory did a great job with Enslaved and I'm sure with a little help from Capcom regarding the battle system, they can make DmC be an awesome game :)

Pre-Enix Square :(

topsemag55

They made a good move with the PC version of DMC 4 - they optimized it for 64-bit and DX 10.

Only thing is, all they can make are platformers...god, why can't they make a JRPG with Nero and Dante working together? Much better than what they're doing with the new DMC. *sigh*

Well while capcom is 1/2 to blame for the new DMC, ninja theory is actually doing the game so blame them to!

1.Square Enix

2.Guerilla

3.Naughty Dog

4.Dice

5.Visceral

IMO!

[QUOTE="Verge_6"][QUOTE="Unnatural101"]Nintendo is a Publisher.....Much like Sony...Much like Microsoft.Unnatural101

Chutebox

I hate it when people lump a giant dev team like Nintendo into one huge entity, you guys do know that they are split into multiple teams right? Some of them worked on SMG 1 and 2, some work on shovelware like Wii Play and Wii fit... If santa monica Naughty Dog Guerrilla and Media Molecule all changed their names to Sony EAD 1,2,3 and 4 would they become even better because Sony EAD lumped them together by name?Sw33tChilLi

lawlessx

I refuse to believe someone whose name is lawless when we're in a Gamespot-law-abiding thread.

nintendo , that is a facT!

not a opinion they can make a game in any particular genre and make it good /fun to play rather then , looking good and boring to play lol

Black Isle.

[QUOTE="Unnatural101"]

Ok...I messed up the poll by accident...I'll have to do another...sorry :(

TintedEyes

Lol no Naughty Dog at all, they are good but they really only have 1 game under their belt as far as I'm concerned that they can bring to this level of competition and that's U2

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]

Nintendo doesn't make games.

Lto_thaG

Yes, they do. They have internal studios. :?

I would say Nintendo EAD or Intelligent Systems they have the most games developed with the best record of producing quality titles.

Jesus Christ, some people's choices are such garbage in this thread.

Agreed.

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="TintedEyes"] Nintendo and ND should definitely be thereGreySeal9

Agreed.

Watch now, I'm def gonna get hate for that opinion too (despite the fact I absolutely adore them as a company and Crash 3 is one of my favourite games of past)
