4. Sucker Punch- Sucker Punch is the maker of the well-known Sly Cooper series, where you take the role of a thieving raccoon as he tries to...... well I don't know I haven't played them yet. Sly Cooper has a very fresh almost anime-like graphics (well, I think so), which really brought upon a new look for 3D-platformers. And though I don't know much about the Sly Cooper series, I can tell you that it looks very fun and unique, something any fan of Platformers should definitely try out.
3. Insomniac- Insomniac has brought upon such successful, well-known, franchises such as Spyro The Dragon(1998 ) and Ratchet And Clank(2002), two incredible platformer series. Unfortunately Insomniac was only responsible for the first three original Spyro The Dragon games, and after that they moved on from Spyro to the fresh Ratchet and Clank series in 2002 (and since then the Spyro series has been pretty bad). In Ratchet And Clank you play as the lovable Ratchet with his robo sidekick-Clank. The Ratchet series brought a very new type of Platformer to fans merging shooter gameplay with traditional Platforming tendencies. And I personaly want to thank Insomniac for the great franchises that they have brought to fans of the genre, and they definitely deserve this spot.
2. NaughtyDog- NaughtDog originally pleased fans of the Platformer genre with-Jak And Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and then brought a fantastic change to the series with Jak 2. Originally Jak And Daxter was a tradional good versus evil, wholesome, well-done Platformer..... until they gave it a very smart and fantastic change to a much darker, more mature game in Jak 2. You see Jak 2 came about right after the GrandTheftAuto series changed the way people play games, and NaughtDog noticed this and learned from it and gave what is Jak 2. And that is why I give them this spot because of their great ability to adapt to the gaming enviroment around them, and we see this with Jak 2.
1. Rare Ltd.- Rare Ltd, to me, are the masters at make unique games, especially Platformers. Incase you don't know Rare is responsible for game franchies like Banjo-Kazooie and Viva Pinata, and has recently given us games like Banjo-Kazooie:Nuts And Bolts, and Kameo:Elements Of Power, and some other titles. But one of the main reasons I am giving Rare this spot is for their succesful revival of the Banjo-Kazooie series. And though Rare may be lacking in sales there quality of games still hasn't went down, they just keep giving us great titles.
So there you go, my top 4 3D-Platformer makers, I hope you enjoyed it, and took your time reading through it.
