(2) Harmonix vs (5) Epic

Harmonix: LucasArts finds a force stronger than its own and is defeated by Harmonix. I've heard music can soothe the savage beast, but will it work against the FPS monster known as Epic?
Epic: In a close battle, Epic takes down Mario and Link for a shot at being one of the last 4 teams in the tournament. Can they take down the hardcore rockers of Harmonix?

In before fans from Harmonix's site come and bombard this poll making 5 to 6 accounts just to make them win with stupid reasons like, "lol Harmonix ftw!! lol!!" or, "This is for taking down Nintendo!!!"

No disrespect Harmonix is a great developer, (as we saw from the transition of GHII to GHIII) but even though they are well made, all they make are rhythm games.

But the same can be said about Epic Games with both of their most popular game series being a bloody shooter.

So I guess its a battle of tastes and I like a good shooter better than a good rhythm game.
(I also want to offset the Harmonix fans)

I dont like either companies, rythem games arent my piece of cake and epic is just a bunch of testosteron hulks.

Harmonix gets this one because Guitar Hero one was rather innovative.

Two words Unreal Engine

I dont like FPSs but any company that had a part in bringing Bioshock and Mass Effect to fruition gets my vote

I came in here all ready to vote for Harmonix, then I remembered that Epic are awesome.

See, on the one hand we have a company dedicated to giving us a real music simulation and a rock education to boot, not to mention the constant stream of quality DLC

On the other hand we have a company that's given us some of the most enduring games out there and with a near unmatched dedication to cross platform compatibility

Both are noble goals but I'll need to work out the cons... unfortunately there aren't really any cons that either both companies aren't guilty of or that isn't really their fault that we know of...

I'm gonna have to sit and think about this one

This is going to end badly.

EDIT: I shouldn't have voted... Its now just a battle of which forum can sign up the most on this site and bump their developers up.

Ugh, anyone who reads these comments is going to feel dirty voting for either side.

My vote is for Harmonix. They give me fun, something Epic constantly fail to do. Also one of their fans has now played the 'Hardcore' card so its freaking on.

actually I'm gonna give it to HMX, just because they have more chance of winning. If it comes down to epic against valve or something then epic is going to lose half its supporters, whereas the HMX crew will have nobody else to vote for (I'm giving bioware similar cross platform props, but they never made a linux installer)

Would have probably voted Harmonix if Rock Band had reahed our blighted shores, but Gears of War and Unreal Engine swayed my vote.

Epic is great, but all they've done is advance concepts which were pioneered by other dev shops. Plus, I'm not someone who is easly wow'd by pretty graphics.
