A console’s lifespan is defined by the games that gamers love to play on the system. But behind those games are the developers, who put in hundreds of hours, blood, sweat, and tears to make the game the best it can be. As we see this generation heading towards a close this fall, we have to ask ourselves: Who are the best developers this generation? Who have defined innovation, spread revolution, and made us remember that sometimes, games can be more than something we just do for fun? Read on to see the top 5.
A third game in the Falconeer series has been announced as the second, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, launches.
Ramen VR has announced Season 2: Frostrealm for its MMO Zenith: Nexus is due to arrive shortly for Quest, PCVR and PSVR 2.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
I would have to go with NaughtyDog...they make some fantastic quality games
I would of said Valve but the whole "Valve time" thing is getting beyond a joke now, especially with how long it takes them to release Half Life.
1. Naughty Dog
2. RockStar
3. Valve
4. Bethesda
5. Irrational Games
I'm gonna throw a curve ball and go with Sega. I'll still say ND, Bethesda etc as well but primarily Sega
Resonance of Fate, Yakuza, Binary Domain, Valkyria Chronicles. Silly amount of time spent on each game, more so than the likes of Fallout in some cases surprisingly.
Rockstar games all have the same baseline gameplay drive around,find the npc,mission briefing with cutscene,drive to the mission,kill the target/do the objective and finish mission.
GTAIV is as overrated as Skyrim and so is RDR all 3 of these games get so repetitive 3/4th into the game. Hardly games deserving of number 1 developer spot.
Would have been better to make a list of best 5 studios instead of this. Mixing publishers and developers is confusing or is it just me?
Im gonna make a list of the 5 studios i really liked this gen:
1. DICE (Mirrors Edge, Bad Company, Battlefield)
2. Relic Entertainment (Dawn of War, Space Marine,Company of heroes)
3. CD Projekt RED (Witcher)
4. Rockstar North (GTA 4, helped on RDR and MP 3)
5. Valve (Half Life, Portal, L4D)
