Search Bar approved. Previous similar thread is thoroughly dead.

My favourite game developer is Bethesda. Though I haven't played a handful of their games, of those I have played, I have been very impressed with. I personally think they make great, fun, games.

But which is your favourite game developer? If you make a text response, please also indicate why, or give an example of one of their games you liked.

Thanks, and enjoy. And please don't flame.

I agree on Bethesda.
The open world and pretty graphics are still good.

I love Oblivion

Valve. They've benefited my life more than anything else I care to think of.

I'll vote Valve. But I also like Bioware and DoubleFine a lot.

Of that list Valve, mainly because they do actually listen to their players and generally make good when they bugger up.
They're by no means perfect, but they come across as people who play games.

Although really it's Turbine. They're the kings of community involvement and Dick Dastardly style tricks.

Also CCCP for their extreme bravery in letting the EVE community largely moderate itself. I can't see any other MMO allowing so few rules.

Insomniac, they make both the Ratchet and Clank AND the Resistance series.

It's hard to choose, as I like alot of games and they all come from different developers.

I narrowed it down to three developers, valve, bethesda and bioware.

Valve: made half life 2 = good. But, messed everybody around with the "will they won't they" of episode three. so, you're out.

Bethesda: Fallout 3 = fantastic. Oblivion = snorefest (imo) so, also out.

Bioware: kotor, baldurs gate, mass effect, jade empire, I really can't think of any of their rpgs I didn't enjoy. so, congrats, bioware, you win!

Valve,definetly. They add fan-suggested things to TF2 by "sure,why not?" principle! 'Nuff said,really.

Insomniac are also pretty high on my list - how can you not like them? They make games where you can turn your enemies into penguins and make them dance involuntarily to disco tunes,for heaven's sake!

It's fun that I'm the only one who proudly chooses Infinity Ward. Weird, but I love Call Of Duty so much.

Hermmm.
The two it comes down too are Treasure and Alphadream.
the games i like most from Treasure are Gunstar Super Heros and Bleach: Dark Souls(My favorite Bleach Fighter.)
And from Alphadream the Hand Held Mario RPG's.

The reason I've become a real gamer of course: Square. Their pre-3D games were brilliance.

The 5 best game developers in my opinion:

1. Blizzard
2. Bethesda
3. Interplay
4. Valve
5. Infinity Ward

My favorites as follows:

Valve: They actually give two shits about their community and they actually make great games.
Blizzard: Do I really need to say why? Although their merger with Activision kinda hurt their rep.
Bioware: The only RPG that they've ever made that wasn't amazing was Sonic Chronicles, and even that was pretty decent.
Infinity Ward: One of the best shooter developers ever. Now, if/when they move on from Call Of Duty they'll be even better.
Bungie: Halo's awesome, and I don't care what anyone else has to say. :P
Square Enix: Has taken a hit in recent years, but is still a solid developer.
Nintendo: The Wii is kind of... eh... But Nintendo still knows how to make games, as proven by the DS as well as Super Mario Galaxy.
Ensemble: RIP. Age is the best RTS series ever (Especially Age of Mythology).
Harmonix: They actually put CARE into making their rhythm games, whereas Activision and Neversoft just care about milking the playerbase.

Voted for Bioware but it was a hard choice between them and CCP.

Other: Bungie. I really enjoyed all the Halo games. And Bungie recognizes how important their fanbase is and they make a point of keeping them happy whenever possible. They make a point of giving attention to standouts within the community that surrounds their games. I think that's an excellent way to run a business and I admire their efforts to keep the players engaged in the worlds they create; both in game and beyond.

Can't really decide. Nintendo EAD, Firaxis, Doublefine, Team ICO, Grasshopper Manufacture and others. Mostly ones without a poll option.

It's a tie between BioWare and Epic Games for me.

I love BioWare's games, and as a Canadian Uni student taking Computing, I'd be psyched to be part of their Programming team somewhere down the line.

On the other hand, Epic Games made the Gears of War series. And....and that's just great.

I voted other, by the way.

I think you'll find that I'm much too lazy to look up the spelling for the developer of fallout 3 and further more... aw what the hell

Bethesda

It's hard to decide but Bioware. Fucking awesome they are :P

Just think, if Bethesda joined up with Valve and Bioware they could make a game of epic proportions. Bethesda on the open world's and the tiny stories you just find wandering around like in Fallout 3, Bioware doing the story, lore and maybe interface and Valve...

Sorry, my trousers are a little bit wet.

Devil may Cry
Street Fighter
The vs. series
Resident Evil
