Dead companies don't count... because they're dead. (duh!)

 

1. BioWare

2. Irrational Games

3. Valve

4. Blizzard

5. Obsidian

(moved thread)

 

 

They do count, because their games live on.

 

-BIS

-Troika

-Obsidian

-Bioware

-Id Software

 

 

..there are more old ones Id like to mention but I only know the publisher, not the studio.

Sir Tech. Absolutely Number One. Absolutely!

BioWare

Black Isle

 

Obsidian gets an honorable mention, because their first and only game was excellent, so I have high hopes for their future!

Nintendo

Rareware

Blizzard

Capcom

Bioware

 

Edit: Forgot about Nintendo.

1. Bioware

 

2. EA

 

3. Squaresoft

 

4. BIS

 

5. THQ

 

Runner Up: Obsidian; but they need to make more than one game. NWN2 will likely knock THQ out.

 

Runner Up: I know I do a lot of badmouthing of them; but like Hades and BIO; it's only because I cared too damn much. :D

Too bad most of my choices have folded.

1. Piranha Bytes (Creators of the Gothic-series)

2. Rock Star (The Grand Theft Auto-series is teh best evah!1)

3. Ion Storm (Deus Ex, AnaChronox)

4. Interplay (So sue me, their back catalogue is still great)

5. Blizzard (I don't actually like a lot of their games, but they make quality titles)

 

About Obsidian: I really loved KotOR2, but they need more than one game to qualify.

How can Nintendo not get more props for their first party titles????

Because most people don't care for playing as happy tomatoes hopping around in happyland?

How could Zelda & Mario compare to the 12 GTA remakes out there

Troika.

Capcom

Quantic Dream

Hydravision

Blizzard

Black Isle

Monolith.

 

Maybe not top 5, but definitely deserves a mention.

BIS

Troika

Obsidian

Bioware

Blizzard

1:Bioware (Baldurs Gate 2 )

2:Troika (VtMB-Great dialogue, especially for Malkavians)

3:Black Isle (Mainly for the Fallout games)

4:Infinity Ward (Call of Duty 1+2)

5:Polyphony (Gran Turismo series)

1- BIS

2- BIOWARE - TROIKA

4- MONOLITH

 

There is no place for Blizzard in my list. I don't like their titles.

In no particular order:

 

Bioware

Black Isle Studios

Blizzard

Microprose

Valve

 

Honorable Mentions: Bungie, Infinity Ward

It was unfinished, buggy, and practically unsupported. I hardly consider that excellent.

KOTOR2 is their first game?!

 

I thought Obsid were more developed and had been around for a while :">

KotOR 2 was Obsidian's first game. Most these people worked on other games as Black Isle which is dead.

Edited November 12, 200520 yr by Hades_One

I see, just as a matter of interest, what other games did Black Isle produce?

* Fallout 2 (1998)

* Planescape: Torment (1999)

* Icewind Dale (2000)

* Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter (2001)

* Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter - Trials of the Luremaster (2001)

* Icewind Dale II (2002)
