nope. in fact he is respected too much for a guy whose games are less about fun and more about serving as a vehicle for his misinformed pseudo-philosophy and awful convoluted storylines.

I agree. This guy takes a risk by creating the most unique games and they are breathtaking. SOTC was easily one of the most standout games last gen.

I've seen a lot of people talk smack about Nintendo and Wii, but not really so much about Shigeru Miyamoto himself. He seems pretty well-respected. Of course, I could be wrong.

Anyone bashing Miyamoto is a moron, seriously. If it wasn't for him, gaming really wouldn't be the same as it is today.

Seeing how gaming is no longer about platforming, and more so about first person shooters, I'll say Id is most responsible for games today ;)

Yes, she sure is a "developed" developer, is she not?:P

Anyway, I am going to just throw out a dev company instead of an individual. I think that Codemasters is on the rise, and should get a bit more notoriety personally, as they are talented at making so many different types of games. They made Overlord (just fun as hell) They are the devs behind Dirt (killer racing game). On the way they have 2 games that I think will really put them on the map:

Clive Barker's Jericho (amazing looking horror FPS/RPG)

Rise of the Argonauts (The best looking/sounding greek mythology RPG I have ever seen)

Forget Kojima. Forget Miyamoto. Forget Cliffy B. Forget Itagaki. Forget Bungie. Forget Ubisoft Montreal. Forget Nomura. Forget Sakaguchi. Forget Jaffe.

The TC is right. Fumito Ueda should get praised more not only here but in the industry itself. He can make games that can be enjoyed by both hardcore and casual gamers by having deep gameplay with simplified controls.

I don't disregard Miyamoto's contributions in the past, but I am willing to say that he has been completely outclassed and is now overrated by some (again, looking at him in modern times).

Fumito Ueda is a great choice, but I'm going to suggest a development team that never gets any credit- Pandemic.

Sure, you might know there games (Mercenaries, SW: Battlefront), but they just never seem to get any hype around their games. I personally feel that they're the best 3rd party team out there right now.

Everyone talks about Miyamoto, but what about Aonuma? Ever since he became director of the recent Zeldas, we've seen better character development and stories. :/

So true MM is the best in the series to me. Those mask quests had some really great stories, and the main story itself was really touching and cool

A game that you should have played a long time ago. It is the epitome of "art" in videogames.

Replaying it right now. I'm finding it a whole lot better than the first time I played it. As the epitome of "art" in video games though? I don't know about that.
