Polystomper breaks the Top 10 of the developers with the best track record and here are the big names in the video games. It should come as no surprise that Infinity Ward, Squaresoft and Rockstar are at the top end of the list, but who is number 1?
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Personally for me, I would say Naughty Dog, Valve, and Kojima Productions. My opinion of course, not fact.
My top 5.
5.From Software. Their games are not anything amazing and huge expect the soul series. But I love that they haven't been milking their games with dlc as many devs do.
4. CD projekt red. Fairly same reasons that From but all games they have made have been great.
3. Insomniac. Ratchet & Clank and Spyro. Too bad Spyro is owned (and pretty much trasher) by Activision :(
2. Rockstar. Every game they have released have been more or less fantastic.
1. Naughty Dog. Does this even need explanation? The best dev at the moment. And sony sure is so happy to own such an awesome dev. Uncharted, crash, TLOU and Jak & Daxter.
For me, it's bioware, naughty dog, rockstar, and Nintendo. Sorry man Zelda and Mario will always be great no matter what gen or system lol.
From the games I have play only Kojima Productions & Naughty Dog comes to mind that's the only 2 that never have dissappoint me till now, ofc those were not always my favorite companies 10-15 years back Squaresoft, Konami & Capcom was my favorite companies but Square ruin FF, Konami abandon Suikoden & ruin the Silent Hill series & Capcom abandon Breath of Fire & ruin Resident Evil series so the way things is nowadays they force me to change my mind with their actions & teribad performance.
Valve, Nintendo, Rockstar and Naughty Dog. Almost always guaranteed quality.
