It's times like these when you realize just how good Sonys' studios are.

To be completely honest, I don't feel that at all. They have good devs but the only studio to put out games that I thought were truly memorable were Ico and Polyphony.

They might not be memorable like SoTC etc, but they put out good games and that's more than good enough for me to appreciate them.

thats a matter of personal taste but i respect your opinion.. However games such as the GOW series are quite memorable imo.. also the likes of ND & Insomniac have created some successful and well known franchises/characters..

Media Molecule also started in style with LBP and maybe their effort will serve as inspiration to other devs in creating new concepts or else improve on this formula and release new IPS... Modnation Racers is a good example..

Insomniac, for sure.

I still fail to figure out how can they keep popping out great exclusives every year!

Before people take this the wrong way, I like Sony 1st party, I just don't see it as godly as people lead on. GOW series was one I was contemlating adding but figured I was stating what I found memorable. As for ND and Insomniac, I don't think they've released anything memorable and I grew up on Crash and Spyro. (Spyro 2 is still one of the best 3D platformers ever IMO). They are successful yes but I stand by the fact that there games aren't all that memorable experiences.

As for Media Molecular, I'm of the mind that LBP is a mediocore platformer with some good refined non game mechanics. I don't hold LBP very high honestly, the only inspiration I want platformer devs to take from them is include good level editors. I'll cry if they take cues froom any of the gameplay in LBP quite frankly.

Who develops Pixeljunk?

Ha ha good reply, that Nintendo fanbot thinks Intelligent Systems is better than Insomniac.Kurdish-Gamer

Intelligent Systems is pretty much the best studio nobody's heard of.

They can be second party developers along with the first party.

Q-Games develops the Pixel Junk series

guess Japan studio got higher rank than all the studios you mentioned.

[QUOTE="tmacscores91"][QUOTE="DeathScape666"] Not even close. I would say Intelligent Systems is so underappreciated. They helped make Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, and Battatlion Wars. I don't know why they never get a mention, but studios like Insomiac, Sucker Punch, and Naughty Dog do.Kurdish-Gamer

Intellegent Studios is better, there isn't even an argument about this. They have more games under their belt than Insomniac or Naughty Dog and have created higher quality games in more genres. They created Super Metroid which is one of the most respected games ever. Quite frankly, as much as a fan I am of the original Spyro and Crash, I know that Intellent Systems is beyond anything either Insomniac or Naughty Dog has put out.

Insomniac are really overrated, yeah they release a game pretty much every year but Ratchet and Clank is so stale now and Resistance 2 is just a generic man versus aliens shooter.

no order:

Lionheart08

no particular order but here goes

• Insomniac (one AA-AAA game a year with R&C and Resistance)
• Naughty Dog (masters of ps3 capabilities, great writing, great level design)
• Team Ico (they have only put out two games but man those two games were masterpieces and Last Guardian looks to continue that trend)
• Sony Santa Monica (God of War series, twisted metal in the past, helped Incognito with Warhawk)
• Guerilla Games or Evolution (both have put out excellent games this generation)
• Polyphony Digital (gt series is best driving series)
