Totally agree with this list except....

Gabe Newell revolutionized not only Pc Gaming but gaming period.

Half Life emotional fps and sandbox style game play
Left 4 Dead enhanced co-op
Steam digital distribution gaming network and Drm one stop shop where you OWN your games and can play offline even if Valve falls through a portal .

And add Will Crowther as he pioneered the MMORPG aka the money machine as the vast majority of them always turn a profit while bringing millions of gamers together in a virtual world.

With the exception of L4D that was developed by an external developer and it's unclear what if any influence Gabe had I would in general agree.

OrangePowerz4151d ago (Edited 4151d ago )

I find the exclusion of Kutaragi, Yu Suzuki and Bushnell a bit strange. They had a huge influence on home gaming and gaming consoles.

Somebody4151d ago

It's not strange because the article limits itself to some number, in this case 5. There's a lot of influential people so there's bound to be some omission when the article only pick 5. Put Yu Suzuki in the list and we'll have other readers questioning why the some other famous people is not included.

The good thing about these Top "X" Lists is that they narrow down the subject matter. The bad thing about it is that some glaring omissions will persists.

caseh4151d ago

Yu Suzuki deserves at least an honorary mention I think, else I would give him Kamiya's spot.

He was behind most of Sega's biggest hitters back in the 80's and 90's. I guess if Shenmue hadn't sucked Sega dry he would be on par with Miyamoto in that list.

No gaming list would be complete without Alexey Pajitnov, Ralph Baer, Sid Meier and Will Wright.

miyamoto4151d ago

Where is Yu "Virtua Racing/Fighter/ShenMue" Suzuki?
Where is the Yuji "SonictheHedgehog/Phantas yStarOnline/Hunting Game" Naka?
Where is Ken "FatherofPlayStation/PS2/ PS3" Kutaragi?
Where is David "GodofWar/Twisted Metal" Jaffe?
Where is Mark "CrashBandicoot/Spyro/Rat chet & Clank/Resistance/Uncharted/PS2 /PS3/PSVita/PS4"Cerny?
Where is Hideo "MetalGear" Kojima?
Where is Tony Hawk?

Capcom says it wants Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney to be 'core IPs' like Monster Hunter

Sorry if you were expecting Bionic Commando.

ZeekQuattro159d ago

Actions speak louder than words. Show me a new Mega Man game that isn't a collection of games I played yesteryear. If they can churn out some kind of RE game every other year they can make a new Mega Man entry. It's not like it's known for its deep stories.

Christopher158d ago

I can see DMC, but the others just weren't built for that without some major adjustments on how they're played.

lukasmain158d ago (Edited 158d ago )

If they make the right choices and right kinds of games, the Mega-Man IP could potentially be made into an animated film or streaming series like the success of Mario and Sonic. Surely that thought may have crossed their minds? Or am I being silly? I mean there is a lot more water to go under the bridge for them to even start considering that. But I used to be a big mega-man fan back in the day. I'd love to see it happen.

It’s being done on purpose just to destroy inafune . It’s some pride stuff on the inside .

blacktiger158d ago

all talk and if they launch it will cost $200

shinXseijuro158d ago

Just like the guys said . I’ll believe it when I see it . Even the shareholders are asking questions regarding Megaman . I don’t want to sound ludacris but I have a strong conviction that the heads at Capcom are purposely holding the Megaman IP down because of their grudge and spite towards inafune on some deeper Japanese honour code stuff . It’s deeper than we think . You can tell something isn’t right .

VersusDMC158d ago

Well i hope DMC is being worked on. Either a remake of 1 or 6 will do.

And bring back Megaman X. Either regular, command mission or make it a Metroidvania since silksong is so popular.
