What say you guys?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Everyone one those has contributed to gaming in a very significant way (Mityamoto, Carmack), or at least created an exceptionally good game(s) (Kojima, Bleszinsky).
So none of them is overrated.
My pick would be Peter Molyneux.
System Wars, not Figurehead Wars ... just saying. :P
Cliffy.B gets nothing but hate so i dont see how he's "overrated". So if i had to pick i'd go with Hideo Kojima, he makes fantastic games alright, but he's treated like a messiah by the fanboys and his games arent as good (best gamez evar !!) as people would have you believe so he'd have to be the most "overrated".
Peter Molyneux created a sub-genre, more then I can say for Kojima and Cliff BleszinskyPeter Molyneux.

He is great and made some great games but he tends to overhype his games and promise things that he can't keep.Peter Molyneux.
RadecSupreme
Peter Molyneux.

He isn't overrated, everyone hates the guy. He is the only one that thinks highly of himself. I have to go with ol' Gabe Newell.

Not really, Kojima and the Metal Gear series seems to be more appreciated and more of a success in the gaming community.
I not positive I'll spell his name properly but I'd say Peter Molyneux. I thought both Fable games were extremely overrated. Hideo Kojima is good at making games but needs to leave the story, editing and dialogue to someone else.FerdMertzthat's the only thing he was ever good at lol

how is that related to what I said? Kojima's games are sucessfull be he never created anything new. The stealth genre already existed before kojima
Molyneux created the god games. and He still creates great games
lol people who started gaming on the xbox picking peter. His one of the all time greats, he made some abolute classics before fable, which is a good game in itself

you don't even need to back to the classics, you could just look at The movies and Black and White. There really isn't anything quite like those games
The Rage engine/megatexturing, etc. Why the strong dislike for him? Who cares what someones done recently, it doesn't change their previous achievements....What greatness has carmack done lately?

I would say Miyamoto.. He did do some good things in the past.. but now, he is not as good.StrifeXIIIDude....SMG2?!
[QUOTE="StrifeXIII"]I would say Miyamoto.. He did do some good things in the past.. but now, he is not as good.RavensmashDude....SMG2?! It is amazing and all, but it is not as good as smb3 imo :)

Since the IW 4.0 engine (Game engine for Infinity Ward) is based an in 'unspecified ID tech engine' which Carmack developed... I would say thats what he has done lately. The guy not only drives innovation in game engines, hes also a rocket scientist... so you shouldn't hate on him for working slow.
Thread fails because none of these guys are figureheads. A figurehead is just there and has no say over what goes on. That is none of them.
And none of them are overrated. Just because you don't like something someone developed doesn't mean anything. Get over yourself.

It is amazing and all, but it is not as good as smb3 imo :) yeah but it's still amazing you know anyways, I would pick David Jaffe (mostly because GoW2 was so much better than GoW1, and he hasn't done anything recently since I don't think the new TM is not by him). Kojima can't get the story right, but at least he does make good games. btw, MajorGamer531, IW 4.0 engine is heavily modified Quake 3 engine. Quake 3 engine is still used widely actually. It's just heavily modified. That's how versatile it is, and that alone make John Carmack genius.
the hardcore gamer.
their smug, think their owed something, have a vastly inflated self belief in their own opinions and think any game with a manual thinner than a dolphin sandwich is 'dumbed down'
Kojima at least Miyamoto has innovated franchise and made new one. Kojima is just known for MGS.
