  • Valve: BioWare

    BioWare: Valve

  • at 0:30 is that skyrim or what game is it?

  • When asked, I'd readily say Bioware is champion. Valve produces excellent games and fair enough service. They've both been around for roughly the same amount of time, come to think of it, as I was going to argue that Bioware feels like a granddaddy in comparison. Perhaps it was merely that as a child I felt an odd attraction to Baldur's Gate and thought if I played Half Life or Counter Strike I'd receive brain damage.

  • why choose a side, cant we enjoy the best of both worlds?

  • @SightlyAbyss NO !!

  • Thumbs up if you prefer bioware.

  • Thumbs up if you prefer valve

  • Valve has won the battle but the war rages on who will rise and who will fall !

  • YAY!! VALVE WOOOOON!!!

  • Thats interesting what you did

    Krogan/Heavy-Tank

    Mordin/Medic-Medic

    Joker/GLaDOS- Tech specialists

    Thane/Spy- assassins

    G-Man/The Illusive Man- Creepy Motherfuckers

    Husks/Headcrab Zombies- Undead enemies

    Legion/Dog- Badass Robots that are Badass

    Breen/Well, i dont know who that is or what they represent. A little help?

    Reapers/Advisors- All knowing beings

  • @captainrexproduction The bioware equivalent of Breen is Saren and they are the main antagonists of the games they are in.

  • @harvestwolf21 oh ok

  • GO VALVE !!!!

  • this would of been a tough one 2 choose.... Bioware one of the best RPG creator of all time or is it Valve the gods of FPS..... i think my brains about to blow X(

  • Shigeru Miyamoto vs Valve is not even close.

    Shigeru Miyamoto vs The World is close but edge to Miyamoto.

  • I am not even thinking about it. Ofcourse Valve cause the thing is that I even played any bioware games or I don't remember. But yea the match betwen thouse 2 will end before even strated.

  • who the fuck cares about the details?.... ITS ALL ABOUT THE HATS!

  • valve of cause

  • Oh- no,

    this is gonna turn out like Halo vs. CoD.

  • Its a good thing I dont have to stick to one developer over another.

  • I barely played any of Bioware's games now Valve sure has a lot of good ones with Garry's Mod, Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead.

  • @JackRed666 Half-life was awesome, and you also forgot to mention Portal, but left 4 dead, TF2, and counter-strike are, well, forgettable, don't you think?

  • @Iteachu2beninja Portal was okay and I do like the other ones you said but that's just me.

  • @JackRed666 Yeah I like them to... but they don't demolish the roof. I mean in the end... L4D is a zombie game. How crushingly creative. Team Fortress is like Call of Duty with a better art style, diverse but balanced classes, and a kickass theme song (And no single player). For me, TF was a bit shallow.

  • @Iteachu2beninja That's an interesting point I would play that if it did exist.

    Counter-Strike done that with two versions of an game so why can't Team Fortress.

  • @Iteachu2beninja

    Counter strike, TF2, and half life influenced other games. You can't say that about anything bioware made, besides maybe KOTOR.

  • @microsf121 Both companies have been making games since 2000ish. However, look at the games. Baldur's gate was an adventure RPG (which also was extremly influential), Neverwinter Nights was also extremly influential- I would argue that those two influenced WoW a lot. Valve, however, has made shooter... after shooter... after shooter... after shooter. Bioware almost always made something different every time, but the majority of the population just gets shooter after shooter.

  • @Iteachu2beninja

    Every single one of valves games has been innovative. While sometime in bioware's life, their games stopped being innovative. You said left 4 dead wasn't innovative because its just another zombie game. While the zombie part was true, not being innovative wasn't. The innovation lied in the level of cooperation you had to have with your teammates in order to survive, not it having zombies, making it a great friends game.

  • @microsf121 But Valve didn't make Counter-Strike, gooseman did, Team Fortress 2 is barely different from Team Fortress 1, which Valve also didn't make and was the actual source of the game influences you're talking about, though I will grant that Half-Life's scripted events made a difference. It needed at least one thing to not make it Doom with scientists.

  • @themasteriswatching

    Valve took those mods created by the community and made them into games. College students created a portal gun. Valve made portal. Gooseman created a half life mod. Valve made Counter Strike. Counter Strike influenced COD. Half Life influenced games like bioshock and doom.

  • @microsf121 "Half Life influenced games like bioshock and doom."

    Excuse me but what ?

  • @Prnnce

    Doom 3 Resurection of Evil had a gravity gun in it. A weapon introduced in guess what? Half Life. The gravity gun allowed you to use just about everything as a weapon. The telekinesis plasmid in bioshock also allowed you to use many objects in the enviroment as weapons. So yes, Half Life 2 did influence bioshock and doom.

  • @microsf121

    The gravity gun weapon in Resurrection of Evil was used for developing Doom 3. At least that's what the developers say. I think I've read somewhere that when developing Doom 3, they used it to create damaged walls, etc. And Doom 3 was released a few months before Half-Life 2.

    Also, the first two Doom games were released in the early 90's. So Half-Life couldn't have influenced those. But I wouldn't be surprised if they included the Grabber in ROE because of the popularity of HL2.

  • @RavagerDX

    The grabber is what I meant. And what they used in development wasn't the same thing as half-life's gravity gun.

  • @RavagerDX doom was released in 2004 and hl2 too but hl2 was to be released in 2003,but beucase of a hacker they needed to find him witch tooked them a year

    sorry for my english

  • I love both, but i believe bioware made what is the greatest game of all time, so i chose them for this years against mojang

  • Excellent video. And I love valve/bioware. Half-life 2 is through the fucking roof.

    But in the end, it's a hard faught battle, with blood all over the fucking place, but Bioware leaves, severely crippled.

    Why?

    Because Bioware has an absolute 100% success rate when making games. Portal and Half-Life (both of them) are really the only things that come to mind. Team Fortress had so much potential, but it was multi-only. Left 4 dead (both) were pretty forgetable.

  • Ambas compañías deberían unirse y destrozar a la ya inaguantable Blizzard ^^

  • Hey, what happened with L4D logo????

  • GO VALVE GOOOOOOOOO!

  • valve

  • bioware

  • GO VALVE!

  • expected win...valve will sone fuck all the other companies! ALL HAIL VALVE POWER FOR WORLD DOMINANCE!

  • Valve has won this battle but the war has only began who will come out on top who knows

  • valve rules

  • you have to do versus bungie!!! that will make all th halo fanboys mad xD

  • you cant compare them... next video please

  • Valves games are just innovative....theyre the 1st developer to emphasize a storyline for the FPS world( half-life) and on gameplay physics..(ragdolls, environmental reaction etc.) and also their 2 most innovative design of weapons merged with gameplay physics which are the GRAVITY GUN & PORTAL GUN in which many other games and game developers took their inspiration...so VALVE deserved to win....

  • valves awsome first because they take time and don't rush on making the game and the made STEAM if it wasn't for valve there would be no epic cool gamesfor the pc 

  • @cutieprincess161 Except all the Blizzard games which "everyone" loves, all the id games, whose Quake engine Source is based off of, and the fact that Valve just buys up half of their IPs which begin as freeware mods and end as $30 downloads with higher poly models. There's no rushing involved because they let everyone else do the work. Let us also not forget that Bioware is one of the foremost RPG developers for PC, an arguably more epic genre than multiplayer shooters (which is Valve's shtick)

  • @themasteriswatching half life and portal beg to differ. also: mods.

  • @TheStickFiguer Beg to differ from what? Half-Life and Portal both exemplify what I just said, and do not differ in any way. Half-Life is the only original (video game) IP that Valve has come up with. This is literal fact. Portal was a 2 hour long mod for Half-Life 2, whose gameplay and developers were adopted from Narbacular Drop. And yes, mods, however it doesn't matter much when all the good mods are bought up and sold as if they were retail games, does it? As I just said.

  • @themasteriswatching portal-puzle

    half life, 2, ep1, and ep2, FPS

    tf2 cs:s and Dod, three distinct multiplayer games. thats what i meant.

    portal wasn't a mod, it was a game designed by college students that valve funded helped with and published. Portal 2, all valve. also portal is not played for its gameplay, (thats a huge lie, people love it) but its humor and story too. and another thing, portal was loosely based off of an idea./endragerant.

  • @themasteriswatching What you're saying is like comparing a romantic comedy with a full blown action movie. These are just examples, I don't care if you like one or the other, they are completely different in almost every respect except for the most petty similarities. And when you say that Valve adopts other engines and games and improves their graphics, is it really a problem that they stand on the shoulders of giants? I assure you those giants are standing on other giant's shoulders too.

  • @themasteriswatching There is no such thing as innovation, knowledge and technology are like building blocks, you must first lay down one block to be able to go higher. That is what you call unoriginal and bland, but I must remind you that man doesn't just come up with fantastic ideas out of the blue. Weather or not they deviate from the original as much as you would like is up to them, trying to prove what everyone knows is foolish. Before you spew something out, consider greatly what to say

  • Valve has won the battle but Bioware will win the war ALL HAIL MASS EFFECT !

  • we need a movie about this

  • valve lose a versus series = end of the world

  • LET THE EPICNESS BEGAAAAAAAN !!!!!!!!!

  • @RaWxGAMERx Its already over, silly. :p

  • Obviously, Valve is better than Bioware and will always be better.

    They take their time to make games, which is the reason why they often delay games, because high-quality games takes time to make; and as a result, every game they make are all worth the wait. Plus, they had Steam.

    Bioware games are awesome too. I mean, they developed one of the best RPG games ever.

    So, Valve are a great FPS developer...

    ...while...

    ...Bioware are a great RPG developer

  • @Rallinale Valve delays games because it's commercially convenient to only have one or two main releases per year. The development costs for things like Left 4 Dead, Portal, Team Fortress 2, etc. were much lower than things like Episode 3 (which was supposed to come out in 2008 but is now slated for 2011 at earliest). It's obviously not just a delay because they're "taking their time", it's their marketing strategy. Left 4 Dead 2 came out 1 year after the first and had AI problems. Explanation?

  • Valve or Bioware.

    Hard choice.

    Well voting is over so never mind.

  • Valve is a piece of shit but its MY piece of shit.

  • Valve: "What makes me a good game developer? If I were a bad game developer, you wouldn´t be sitting here playing the half-life series now would you?"

  • lol a little late but its valve hands down

  • Although I despise Valve, the Wrex VS Heavy thing at the beginning was amazing.

  • didnt valve win by like 4%

  • Vlave FTW

  • I think valve is a great developer of games. The only problem is that they haven't been making too many games latly and they need to work on that now. They need their half life episode 3 and portal 2 to actually come out and mabey some work on Team Fortress and other games. If they would get that done Valve would be undoubtedly the best developer of the year and of all time.

  • They can't really do much in the past year since they have been putting so much updates to the older games like tf2. I would vote for valve because they make the most superior games unlike any other.

  • Comment removed

  • Ugly Sheperd LOVES zynga!

  • GO VALVE, GOTTA LOVE VALVE!

  • Bur..

  • GOGOGO VALVE!!!!!!!!

  • Most epic intro I've ever seen

  • Bioware is just better. Valve is great too, but not so much.

  • Awesome.

    Also, Valve aren't getting my vote until they release Episode 3.

  • @archangel357 Jesus man, have some patience. You can't just expect Valve to rush out the final part of their Half-Life 2 story arc.

  • VALVe -

    I choose YOU!

  • man I love you but @rigaudio valve released l4d2. one of my fav games.

    also they did the EPIC portal update.

  • Don't get me wrong Bioware is great but Valve's reputation is simply off the charts. They are the most respected game developer on the planet with massive support for their customers and community's. Their games are also of the highest quality.

  • @JeannotvanBerlo123 This whole thing is for developer of the YEAR, not all-time. Valve hasn't done too much in the past year.

  • @rigaudio That doesn't really work, considering how most game releases come out at the end of the year. So what has Valve done this year? They have released a great new UI beta for Steam and they've kept their games patched regularly.

  • @rigaudio Oh yeah and that Portal Radio ARG.

  • @rigaudio yeah but this year they will release Portal 2, the passing and probably ep3

  • @rigaudio What about Episode Thre- yeah, I suppose. Fuck.

  • @JeannotvanBerlo123 Yeah, and I like how they aren't in gaming for the money.

  • I love both valve and bioware... I chose valve tho cos My favorite valve game (Team Fortress 2) is more favorite for me than my favorite bioware game (Dragon Age: Origins) :3

  • I have played all the Valve games , for more than 2200 hours total , and all i can say is :

    THANK YOU VALVE!

    Definetly voting.

  • Excellent video.

    On a side note though, the footage you showed for Baldur's Gate is from the wrong game. The one you're showing is from 'Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance' made by Snowblind Studios, not Bioware. Same name, different series and different developer.

  • @Carthane Darnit. And it's the only decent footage I could find too.

  • @rigaudio No surprise there. The old BG games by Bioware were 2D. Extremely fun to play, even today... but not so much fun to watch!

  • GO VALVE!

  • Bioware ftw! Lol - Ugly Shepard is teh best!

  • VALVE all the way...

  • i prefer games with lots of phisics so i like valve, but Bioware is also a good companie

  • The universe would be screwed if G-Man and Illusive Man would work together.

  • Thing is, they're both truly great developers so it really comes down to which genres and games you prefer. Although. this is the reward for a developer of the YEAR, not overall.

  • Good video and very nice character VS picks.

  • are you kidding valve is the best !

    bioware just suck!

    valve FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Nonot3xorSeKo

    Even if I voted for Valve, the fact you just said about Bioware is just wrong.

    Go away, bad troll.

  • valve best

  • epik

  • those who can't decide must gofor BW, cuz those who fancy VALVe tend not to be fans of BW, so statistically you are hurting BW by not being decisive. Valve power leval yesterday: "It's over NINE THOUSAAAND!!" and BW was over 8000

  • Epic.

  • Valve shall be the victor! Hopefully...

  • My vote goes to Valve.

  • @DrBob1991 i agree valve is the shit

  • Awesome vid for two awesome videogame developers. Never really liked what valve made (I'm not much for FPSes), but either side is worthy of this victory.

  • Nice video! C'mon BioWare!!!

  • Okay this is epic.

  • lol nice rig XD.

  • Fuck, I'll never be able to decide.

  • @Nonrealguy Flip a coin, then. :D

  • @rigaudio Won't work for me, as the laws of physics will somehow judge that the coin will land on the rim only for me.

  • omg, epic!! :D

  • VALVE WINS!

    and lol @ ugly sheppard loving zinga xD

  • @Apostacious It seemed like the Ugly Shepard thing to do.

  • great job go valve!

  • How awesome, indeed.

  • I am heavy weapons guy..

  • first lulz
