You Favorite Developers - Apr 27, 2006 17:56
We all have some developers that we always keep on eye on, and anticipate what they are doing, we buy their games even though the reviews might not always be super good? Mine is Blizzard and Bioware, those two are without fault in my eyes, and as some say love makes you blind, but all their games are perfect in my eyes!

What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

I have to say that most of my favourite devs have disappointed me lately...but some never did.

Nintendo
Sega - AM2 at least
Capcom (especially Clover Studios)
Square-Enix
Blizzard
Treasure
Silicon Kights (Eternal Darkness alone made them heroes in my eyes)


The ones I' d love to see out of bussiness are:

Rockstar games
EA
Bioware - if Mass Effect will be another crap with stupid issues -like Jade Empire (cause I really loved KOTOR)

Bioware-a canadian developer that doesn' t know how to make anything but a AAA game.

Silicon Knights-a bunch of old vets that have been together for over a decade. When I think of these guys I think of Too Human, which they have been eager to finally release since it was schedualed on ps1. Mark my words, the Too Human trilogy will be one of the master pieces on 360.

Obsidian-A reletivley new developer that has been founded by five veterans from other succesful development companies. These guys were basically sick of rushing out games to make the highest profit margins. They just want to make the best games.

Bethesda-These guys are nuts, the amount of work they put into games like Morrowind and Oblivion is unparellel. Not to mention the fact that these games kick ass.

Nintendo-What could i possible say about them that everyone already knows? Well I dislike them for milking the Mario franchise without making true mario platforms (mario soccer,baseball,golf etc.). But when i see games like Super Smash Bros. and the new Zelda: Twilight Princess I feel like selling my 360 for Rev. money (well not quite).

Bungie-Actually I' m not sure if I would call them one of my favorite developers. I' m just giving them the benefit of the doubt while hoping that Halo 3 will be as good as it can be.

Epic- Epic created unreal engine 3, not to mention all the previous Unreal engines along with countless games based on Unreal engines. Infact you can expect most of the AAA games to use Unreal 3.

Crytek-I never played Far Cry, but have you guys seen the new Crytek Engine, holy shit! These guys aren' t fucking around.

I' m sure there' s others I' m forgetting but these are the ones that come to mind mostly because you guys already mentioned most of them.

But but their development styles are so different!

Were they always one and the same back when Magician Lord was first released or was Alpha acquired later on?

Neo Geo games under the Alpha Denshi label tend to look a lot more colorful, and use a richer palette of colors compared to stuff listed under SNK. The gameplay and music style also seems pretty different.

They were just a development team inside of SNK like AM2 is inside of Sega. I saw a bunch of info about it all smewhere on Neo-geo.com. I sure the team members were just separated and assimilated into making nothing but fighting games and a Metal Slug here and there. By the way my Blue' s Journey (brand new never been opened or played) should arrive tomorrow. $28. coming with it is Ghost Pilots. Blue' s Journey better not have even one annoying sound.

OK I found this on the internet, which means it is true since the internet is always correct:

ADK/Alpha Denshi started out as the so-called Alpha Team in SNK, but was apparently turned into its own legal entity sometime during the course of the eighties. Alpha/ADK is responsible for several classic games published under the SNK brand, and may be described as a first or second party developer for its mother company.

My favorite developers are:
Sega- just for shenmue and virtua fighter.
Nintendo- for mario and Zelda
capcom- for resident evil, street fighter, devil may cry
konami- for metal gear solid and silent hill
tecmo- for dead or alive and ninja gaiden and I forgot of the name of this horror game they make.
namco- for soulcalibur and maybe tekken I kind of lost interest in tekken series.
