Here is who I think are the 3 best developers of all time:
3. Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development. Its likely most people got into video games thanks to Nintendo EAD (Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda). Super Mario World was the first game I ever played and finished. Its not just their NES & SNES era work that made me choose Nintendo EAD; am amazed by the way they constantly reinvent games and bring new ideas, see latest Mario game for example.
2.Naughty Dog is arguably Sony's best studio. Almost all their games have gotten over 90 on Metacritic. This generation if you ask a PS3 owner on N4G for their top 10 games. 99% chance it will contain a naughty dog game. Although I found Uncharted 2 to be their best game, some will say their best is Last of US, or Crash Bandicoot or maybe even Jak. They have quality everywhere, no wonder there is varying opinions.
1. Final Fantasy 6, 7, 9, 10, Kingdom Hearts 1, Parasite Eve, Tactics Ogre, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, all except 2 of those games are 90+ on metacritic....Squaresoft were just pure gold. Anything they touched turned to Gold. They got me into JRPG's. Not to mention the Great Music that was made by Nobuo Uematsu back in the day and the EPIC stories by Sakaguchi. Love it or hate it, Final Fantasy made a last-ditch effort to survive in the video gaming industry, they grew into an international phenomenon I credit Final Fantasy with bringing the JRPG genre to such prominence in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Today, Square Enix revealed several details of "Evercold", the next expansion coming for its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV.
Interesting. I will try the base game free trial when it comes out. I heard you can try the it as long as you want with Lvl 70 cap.
The Weight of Knowledge quest chain in Crimson Desert is a part of the Hernand Commissions faction quests at the Scholastone Institute in Hernand.
The Indie Live Expo Spring 2026 Showcase happened, and the Indie Spotlight segment of the event included plenty of reveals and world premieres.

I don't see the point of this. It's basically "Name the developers from your list of favorite games."
Rockstar. Why? GTA1 for the PS1 is basically the reason why i love videogames so much. The first time i played GTA for PS1 i was gobsmacked, the open word concept was amazing to me.
And since then they have created some of my all time favourite games like GTA San Andreas, Red Dead Redemption, GTA5.
Runner up, Bethesda. Skyrim and Fallout 3 were my entire life when i played them. Never, ever have i been as immersed in a videogame as i was in Skyrim.
