[HYDE]

[NeverYouMind]

Nintendo is mid.

 

[HYDE]

Nintendo is mid.

Yeah ok pumpkin

 

[nemiroff]

Most of my past nostalgic favorites are dead or not the same as they used to be. But my current favorite developers of all time are Rockstar, FromSoftware and Warhorse.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Atlus - best music, nice art
RGG Studio - good at different kinds of writting
Vanillaware - best 2D art
From Software - good art and level design
id Software - very good tech
Warhorse - great art, music, writting and tech

A few years ago I would have added Platinum and Capcom, but not today. Maybe Clovers are able to pick up the slack.

 

[HRK69]

Lists without Sandfall Interactive should not be taken seriously

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

 

[NeverYouMind]

I am seeing more publishers than developers here...

 

[GateofD]

lots of studios past their prime in OP's list

 

[ReBurn]

Probably that one guy named Paul

 

[Killer8]

Rockstar Games
FromSoft
Kojima Productions
Capcom
Nintendo EPD
Larian Studios
id Software
Team Ninja
Nightdive Studios
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio

 

[Schmendrick]

Right now (no particular order):

Capcom
Sandfall
From Software
CDPR
Rockstar
Sony Santa Monica (they`re on probation after the garbage that was Ragnarok)
Naughty Dog (also on probation after the trainwreck that was TLoU 2`s writing)

And that´s all I can think of with a good trackrecord to this day.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

If you love mtx crammed poorly optimized games, maybe

capcom is a joke and becoming worse each year

 

[brenobnfm]

From is a step above anyone else, then comes the likes of Capcom and CDPR

 

[HJuggernaut]

i think bungie is underrated

 

[PonyStation4]

Bungie is in Gamefreak territory with their lazy development of Destiny 2

id
Capcom
CD Project Red
Rockstar
Nightdive
Gunfire
Nintendo
Team Asobi
Valve

Whatever these studios put out, I'll keep an eye on, because they deliver.

Nintendo is the one exception: I don't generally buy their games, but I can't deny their willingness to change, evolve, and adapt. And they've been doing it for nearly as long as I've been alive. Always on my list of top devs.

 

[Goalus]

The Coalition
People Can Fly
Fatshark
Playground
CD Projekt
Larian

 

[Azelover]

Talented? Probably Nintendo EPD..

We don't have AM2 anymore, right? They were ninjas..

FromSoftware
Atlus (Studio Zero & SMT)
Capcom (RE, Ace Attorney and Monster Hunter)

Whoever made Expedition 33 is on another class altogether to those mentioned in the OP.

Anyone who has played it knows what I'm talking about.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Nah more like CrapGod

 

[Badlucktroll]

Bloober Team was really on to something with Silent Hill 2 remake. I think they'll do ok

GOTY for me right now, but just 1 game is not enough for me to enter not even in the top 20.

Nintendo (same with above, but i like capcom more because more stylish)
Sega (lot of invention as well)
Monolith (wizard of the video game industry)
Square Enix (their visual are among the best)
Konami (old Konami, they found lot of innovation in 80s-90s)
SNK (their pixel art & 2d animation is unbeatable back then)
From Software (souls genre)
Vanillaware (artstyle and gameplay are among the best)
NIS (the art inspire my art much)
