What other gaming companies do you like?

What different gaming designers do you love? We all love Blizz, that's a given, I wanna know which other designers make you excited for a game.

I personally LOVE Total War. Ever since Rome: Total War, I have loved Total War. Can't wait for Kingdoms to come out!!

 

OTHER than blizzard? Well, I guess I like Bethesda Softworks for Oblivion and Morrowind, as well as Fallout 3 which they're working on and Relic/THQ for Warhammer 40k and CoH

 

Konami for the Silent Hill series and Metal Gear Solid series.
Capcom for the Resident Evil series.
Red Octane for the Guitar Hero series.

 

RedOctane, THQ, Relic Entertainment, Konami and Activision. That's all I can think of now.

 

All of them except EA and SOE boycott those

 

Well, Sqaresoft, before they teamed up with Enix of course.

 

Possibly Flagship Studios. There mostly the former Blizzard North people who are responsible for Diablo. They are currently making 2 new games, Hellgate: London and Mythos. Hellgate is their main project, an action RPG and Mythos is a Diablo style RPG that they are making to test their online service. Both look really cool and are the games I am hoping to use to bide me over until SC2 comes out once they are released.

If Hellgate is all it is cracked up to be Flagship will be right up there with Bizz and Bethesda as my favorite developers. If they can break my WoW addiction I'll even go as far as to say they are my favorite until SC2 comes.

 

Relic Entertainment for the Homeworld Series and the Company of Heroes series
Massive Entertainment for World in Conflict

 

valve, infinity ward, insomniac, and rare (can't forget the classics).

 

oh and I like bungie for halo

 

ea, ubisoft, bungie, activision

 

EA!?!?!? EA!?!?!? Lol... I hate ea.

 

ah ubisoft forgot about them
but EA? they are a walking pile of ****

 

so true. i still hate them for what they did to DICE after they bought em'.

 

what is so bad about EA?

I love the battlefield series - except for Vietnam; a sucky title to go with a sucky war

 

lets just say EA is the axis of evil when it comes to game companys they might as well allie themselves with SOE

 

ok you aren't telling me anything other than you don't like them

reasons, people, let's hear reasons!

and not shit like "thair ghey!!11"

 

DICE makes the battlefield series Nikzad, EA is just the publisher (although EA did buy a majority of their shares in 2004)

 

ok, that makes sense, but if I interpret what you are saying correctly, that means that BFs should not be categorized as EA, right?

so now that I don't love EA anymore because they didn't make the BFs, why does everyone hate them, exactly?

 

LOL well if they arnt obvious
1.They rush their titles
2.Bent on making a monopoly
3.Their customer service sux azz
4.Dont test properly before final release
