Top 3 Developers of ALL TIME. A halo lovers opinion. (56k death) UPDATED!

and now, one of the most innovative ideas ive seen, portal. this game looks amazing. a puzzle fps game. where portals are your means of transportation, shooting one portal, then the other to move through them. i love this idea, and cant WAIT to play it.



2nd place goes to:




Nintendo

nintendo knows how to make games. First, the game that brought alot of us into gaming, and did for me. The little plumber that was in all of our childhoods, and probably the most well known icon in gaming. The Super Mario Series.







next, the adventure game, that brought me into the genre, the game that so many people loved, getting amazing reviews. this open ended adventure game was fun on every level Legend of Zelda

NUMBER 1

1st place goes to.....


RareWare

imo, most deserving of the number one spot, RareWare. they may have gone downhill since the n64 days, but those n64 days were the best in my gaming life.

Banjo Kazooie, my favourite platformer ever. lots say it copied mario, but i dont think so. the second one brought in amazing multiplayer to go with its almost perfect singleplayer. i love this series.



next, the Console FPS that birthed them all, Goldeneye 64. this game was a masterpeice, challenging singleplayer campaign, with awesome level design, then the 4 player splitscreen multiplayer that defined multiplayer FPS gaming (for me).



next, another FPS that took everything to "a whole noffa level" Perfect Dark. it had a long campaign, the amazing multiplayer from goldeneye, plus added Bots. with an amazing amount of weapons, with innovative secondary functions. this game rocked.



and now, the game that made gaming a little more humourous, while at the same time a little more fun. Conkers Bad Fur Day that rude little squirrel with attitude, making team combat more popular in consoles, adding strange gametypes that everyone loved. one of the best combinations of singleplayer and multiplayer around

hounourable mentions:

1. Bioware corp.



2. Capcom



3. Sega



4. Blizzard Entertainment



5. Irrartional Games



6. Konami

think it's also worth a mention that valve created the source engine as that has been used in making other games as well.

can you at least tell us who the others are?viralhunter

Yeah! Then the flaming can begin... *sigh*

I am going to laugh if Bungie is on there.smokeydabear076

Lol, you know it will be though. Look at his sig. As soon as he says "Bungie" this thread loses all credibility as "unbiased."

I dont see why it would be that big of deal, nearly all their game series has a AAA game in it.

Not saying they are the best, but still it wouldnt be like some random thing as if Bungie is only a one hit wonder. They have made a whole lot of great games before Halo.

How many times do you guys have to be told that Valve did not develop Counter-Strike? It was a mod that Valve picked up as acommercial product.

lol I know I realise that, Im just stating that you guys were acting as if they wernt that great when they are but yes they are not the best.

gamer620

Yeah most of what Valve is known for right now was made by the community and bought out.

Portal, CSS, Gmod. None developed by Valve.

Kojima Productions

Uzumaki_Naruto5

No way. Blizzard, Bioware, Squaresoft... those are (in the case of the original Squaresoft, were) the best developers of all time. Kojima Productions is good, yes, but not the best.

Right. In fact, wasn't Portal just an idea by some interns that they showed Valve and got them to add it to their Steam program? Valve doesn't make half the stuff that they are accredited to making, lol.

Yeah it was made by a group of students and once Valve saw it they hired them to come complete the game at Valve as developers. So in a sense Valve did create it, but the ideas were basicly bought out and not really made internally so Im not to sure that would count towards them being great developers or not.

Bioware.

Valve is responsible for Half Life, Half Life 2 (and episodes) and in a sense Team Fortress 2, despite the fact that team fortress started out as a mod for Quake and turned into a huge deal in Half Life. It is essentially once again Valve commerciallizing on the community, but given itsunique style, i give them the benefit of the doubt.

And as for Bungie, i still consider the Myth Series (with the exception of 3 as it wasn't bungie) to be one of the greatest RTS games ever created. That series still has one of the strongest multiplayer components for an RTS title.

He says it his opinion...big dealHeil68

well in my opinion its

squaresoft/enix for reinventing the RPG with FF7

id for putting the FPS genre on the map with Doom

and nintendo for starting it all with Mario

RARE?!?!? Come on. They haven't made a great game since the N64 era. Blizzard has always made amazing games.nintendofreak_2

Well, while I do think Rare had some great games back in the day, they aren't good right now. That means they were one-hit wonders. Sure, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, and heck, even Conker's Bad Fur Day were great games, what else have they done that was really superb? Not much. Perfect Dark Zero, Viva Pinata, and Kameo were decent games, and yes, I had fun with all three, but they weren't "great" or "amazing." They were just decent.

Blizzard has been making great games from the beginning. The Warcraft and Diablo series, amongst others, have been the best games ever made for a long time. Bioware has also been a great developer for a long time, proving their worth as game developers.

I'm not saying that you're opinion is wrong, since it is your opinion, but in my eyes for a developer to be the best of "all time," they need to consistently make great games. Rareware was good years ago, but now? Not so much. Consistency is the key.

Viva Pinata and Kameo disagree with you.Sir-Marwin105
