  • rockstar should be 2nd bethesda should be 1st

  • Pac Man, Megaman, Sonic, Frogger, and Mario are happy to be on that list.

  • The only thing I think is true on this list is the placing of Nintendo. Haters: Bring on the hate. I can take it, and your arguments will get nowhere.

  • Microsoft don't develop games, they publish them, like halo and gears of war, silly

  • Where the hell is Treasure?

  • When you say #3 is Konami, you show Castlevania, Contra, and Metal Gear Solid. But EACH game has it own dev team. Heck, Kojima split off from being an internal team at Konami and created his own company. Konami only publishes MGS games now, not develops.

    I know we all love Capcom, but you show several different games franchises, many having a number of different developers. You should just make a list of your Favorite Publishers, or even the Best Developers In The 1980s (that would fit Atari).

  • Activision? [spit take] They made so many bad games the went bankrupt, even though they may have started off good. You say that Bungie is a "one trick pony," and you didn't put Valve on the list because "don't like Half-Life enough," yet you recognize id Studios?

    It also seems you confuse the difference between developer AND publisher. For instance: You cant say Ubi Soft is a top developer, because the dev that make the Splinter Cell games is different that the one that does Ghost Recon.

  • no naughty dog!

  • What, no Bethesda?

  • and bioware?

    

  • good choice i agree capcom and sega and nintendo are the best

  • I see a lot of people saying valve or blizzard.yeah, maybe.But nothing can compare to Nintendo.

    Here is why:

    Shigeru Miyamoto (the person behind mario, zelda, star fox etc.) Created the first 2d platformer, super mario. Later he created the first open world experience - The legend of zelda. Every single game from after those games were created can relate back to mr.Miyamoto's games. Thank Nintendo and Miyamoto for creating the genre. Nintendo and Miyamoto is the father of gaming. That is a fact.

  • LOL so many Valve employees here...

  • Keeping in mind when the list was made - I can see why Valve was not on this list compared to today where they would top any list. However, it is inexcusable how Bethesda, Rare, Blizzard and possibly Epic Games are not on this list, they were gaming giants back in 2008, they are gaming giants now (well maybe not rare now, but they are still a popular choice).

  • Here is my list of the best game publisher(s)

    1. Valve

    2. Valve

    3. Valve

    and # 4 valve

  • i respect this, but if you consider current games, nintendo would barely be on it, since they f**ked up the up until the release of mario galaxy 2 and zelda skyward sword, so has SEGA, based on current gaming EA, Bethesda, Blizzard and Valve should be on the list.

  • @chipman5678 EA is a bad publisher in providing customer service IMO. They own many great developers but overall EA is just like every other asshole publisher, Valve is the only publisher i've seen that departs from the conventional (take no risks) philosophy, and EA has been pissing everyone off with orgin.

  • @tehatemachine I see what you mean, but at least they care that their games are good (example bf3 beta). i wouldnt compare it with others since, lets say nintendo forgot most of their gaming franchises like F zero (awesome game if you havent played) and focused on making a ton of mario games, of which only a few were good. but i respect what you have to say and in a way share it.

  • @chipman5678 i'd say that Nintendo has lost it since the Early game cube era. Afterwords they just kept making bland products that are to childish. Before they felt unique. Mario wasn't such of a kids game, it felt kinda adult like. Metroid prime on the game cube was awesome.

  • @chipman5678 call me old fashioned but i like to have a real game controller in my hands. Not some motion thingy. Nintendo should of done what sony did. Make the motion thing optional. Not the gaming controller optional. But as for sony i really wish they'd bring back some of their great classic from the Ps1. like make a new jet moto.

  • If judged today, I would definitely disagree with number 2. Capcom disappointed fans with MVC 3, RE 5, and Lost Planet 2, to name a few.

  • At least I heard that Sonic was resurrected.

  • Bethesda Softworks is pretty good.

  • where is valve

  • Excuse me? RAREWARE???? 3D Realms

  • no mate ,tom clancy's games are the best , anyone agree !

  • HOW THE HELL IS BETHESDA NOT ON THE LIST fallout 3 ,oblivion both game of the year awards and skyrim is projected to beat battlfield 3 and mw3 for another game of the year

  • Bungie? VALVe? EA? Infinity ward? Where are these? Although I agree with you on SEEEGAA and nintendo :D

  • pppffff. everybody knows that valve is 10000000 times better then all these.

  • ACTIVITION?!

    Dude I would add them as 1 worst

  • Insomniac?

  • The second I finish reading the description......I puked. I mean...WTF?????

    I think the way you chose this list is by focusing on ONE game or series instead of all the games the company made.

    The gaming world wouldnt be this awesome without Valve, Blizzard, Ubisoft etc etc

  • @Patches7034 I didn't focus on one game or series...

  • @Protoman85 Alright....alright. I won't change your opinion. But to me I still like Valve the best.

  • You're sense of judgment is so poor! I mean You should have made a video called top 10 game franchises because you only chose these developers based of of they're games. Valve for example is the only company I know that cares about it's fans and thus has the respect other companies will never have... And also it's the only one who made a game free... You know, on second thought you can judge the other companies by their games because no other company has any connection with the community...

  • @ZlatkoTheGod So I shouldn't judge a developer by it's games? You mad? Thats like saying I shouldn't judge Coca-Cola by its sodas, but instead by the design of their offices.

  • @Protoman85 No I sad at the end that you can judge them by the games. I just got carried away because you didn't even MENTION Valve! And I meant if you say top 10 best game developers you should also look at their relationship with the fans and HOW they actually are. For example EA games is a company full of bastards. Ubisoft is the devil that makes kickass games. And Valve is the only company that has a psychiatrist in their team! They are awesome why can't you realize it?!

  • @Protoman85 what about bethesda

  • Omg, where's "Stargate, Ubisoft, sparkle"?!

  • Comment removed

  • rockstar out , valve or rare in

  • NO VALVE!?! They made Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress, Portal, Half Life and many more amazing games. You choose like Sega and and Namco who have really only made 1 big game and the rest nobody has ever heard of.

  • The only problem I found with this vid is that these are not developers. They are publishers. Some of these publishers have great development studios. EA has Dice, Bioware, Visceral etc. Valve however is both a developer and publishes their own games so that counts.

  • love how ff is the only reason why squaresoft is popular.. parasite eve, vagrant story, chrono chross.. thats more like it

  • hahaha nintendo is number 1 microsoft is meh ok but sony are the worst game makers

  • @sauskeuchia1000 sony and microsoft are so much better then nintendo

  • You might have forgotten Bioware, Valve, Bethesda, 2K, Bungie, DICE, Epic Games, and so on.

  • R* is like my #1

  • activiosn sucks i like there games but they r greedy

  • yes nintento's games were good then but now every single game is a remake of the 1st game without any changes id put them in 7

  • No sierra entertainment oh man that company started the games we have today

  • Wut...... explain exactly why Valve isn't up there?

  • the final fantasy series is sooooooooooooooo fucking bad 

  • i think unreal deserved one spot here, sure there not the best, or the best selling, but damn they make good games, like bulletstorm, section 8, alien breed, and blacklight tango down.when i see that red U, a smile comes to my face,and i know, i just bought, an awesome game

  • @TheMhn5 Those are all made by different people, they just all use the Unreal engine (which is made by Epic Games). Epic Games made Gears of War, Unreal, BulletStorm, and a lot of other games.

  • @Cade9522

    yeah, i just learned about a while ago what unreal engine was. my fault on that one

  • i think nintendo was the best, but the only good games they make are either sequels or remakes with the exception of wii sports

    they need to be more...PIZAZ

  • 2 things

    1 thanks for not putting popcap

    And 2 WHERE IS VALVE?!?

  • The narrator of this vid sounds so chillaxed ^_^

  • Fire Emblem? Y'couldn't pick another Nintendo franchise that people have HEARD OF! Like Star Fox, Pokemon, Donkey Kong! Jeez...

  • NINTENDO FCKIN SUCKS ASS!!!

  • @infern00king exactly its always no 1 where the fuck are ubisoft and ea

  • vaaaaaaaalllllllvvvvvveeee!!!!­!!!

  • Nintendo is and always will be king. And this is coming from a Square lover. And a 360 owner.

  • ps3 is better than 360 360 sucks

  • Valve? No really ign go suck black ops dick

  • valve and Blizzard not on this list?

    I'm gonna need a new wall to bang my head on.

  • @BoedinBo I'm gonna have to agree with you here man. Valve and Blizzard are two of the most successful developers that have ever graced Video Game production.... I think most of these people are old-school though and simply pick nostalgic choices for their lists. Personally, I think that developers that take their time and produce only great games deserve top slots in these things. Neither Blizzard, nor Valve have ever really produced a bad game..

  • @BoedinBo and nintendo at no. 1 for using the excapt same formula on EVERY FUKING GAME. and SEGA? HUGE FUKING FACEPALM

  • sega is my favorite. they made great games until about 2003-2004, but they started coming back in 2008. they made the best consoles in my oppinion, and make by far the best arcade games. nintendo used to be favorite by far, but their performance with the wii has been bad to say the least. konami is also up there. love castlevania. good list dude

  • no valve, is not smart...

  • screw nintendo, ID should have been first

  • ID,Fuck yeah

  • wheres valve

  • u forgot mojang

  • @ninjatendo101 You forgot to use your head!!! Mojang have made 1 popular game-minecraft. Competing with these high class companies which have all made atleast 10 great games. That's an offense!

  • VALVE > all

  • have a look on my acc for my verson

  • @Nenumies activision sucks. The only good game they released is.... Oh yeah, there is none. And they cancelled the release of True Crime Hong Kong.

  • Konami should be no1

  • Why. Is. Valve. Not. On. This.

    And DICE, and Bioware, and lots of others. These guys were the best in the old days, now, no. They're not even top 20 anymore.

  • Insomniac and Naughty Dog <3

  • Sega Genesis sound > NES sound.

  • @danimass Super Nintendo sounds > Genesis sound

  • @Jrevo101388 genesis actally had better quilty sound

  • @mrshanegt It really didn't. In fact that was one of the major disputes when comparing Mortal Kombat on both systems. Genesis had the gore, but Nintendo sounded much better.

  • @Jrevo101388 well genesis had better sound qulity on SOME games

  • first of all Nintendo number one thank god your not idiot. For the most part I agreed on this list besides not putting rare on their. Rare sucks now their is no doubt about that and I dont see them coming back anytime soon. They made golden eye donkey kong country which was the dk series. they made banjo kazooie and killer instinct. Perfect dark and the list goes on, so I think since namco is on their why the hell wouldn't rare be.

  • Would have thrown Id in higher, since they pretty much created the FPS genre, and the online FPS genre by themselves with Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake. Half Life was based on the Quake engine.

    List is pretty good though. Problem is that there are so many 'A' class or 'Classic' developers around now like Valve, Bioware, EA or Blizzard

  • Capcom lord of the sequels is right lmfao

  • Valve! --- Valve was allways my fav.. the half-life series... TF series...Counter Strike omg...- i mean whole Orange box... also the portal series, since Portal 2 just came out xD and still can't wait for HL2 EP3

  • where the hell is media molecule? they came up with 2 badass games(little big planet 1 & 2) and they were 2 of the best games i've ever played in my life!

  • rareware

    KI,DK

    sony gran turismo

  • Activision and Sega are awesome. I would have added Rareware, though.

  • Forgot, Star Fox in your Nintendo part.

  • Not to bash your opinion about Valve, but how you can dislike a game that doen'st have everything around the player scripted.

  • Couldn't have said it better myself, altough my favorite is Capcom.

  • rockstar is win because ive played all their games and there isnt a single one that wasnt awesome

  • EA has some kind of special power where what ever game they touch it turns into pure shit

  • @azizn02 BUT! the only game that EA made thats good is *drumroll* sims. JK! spore.

  • A company that canceled several games because they would not make profit, kicked out half of infinity ward and corrupted other companies? Hmmm...

  • Go Nintendo! Also, you should have mentioned Zombies Ate My Neighbors on the Konami game list. It's an awesome game.

  • What video editing studio did you use?

  • i wonder how sony didn't included,

  • @C0olD3x They dont develop games, they make the console.

  • >Sega

    BAHAHA... OH WOW.

    For 1980s and 90s, sure, but now? NO. Now they shit all over poor Sonic.

  • @Habbloxian Even though you're right, but they still make state of the art arcade games. Look up Border Break.

    BTW, there could've been other developers listed in there that aren't major companies, like Treasure, Valve, Blizzard, Bioware, Bethesda, Rare, etc.

  • wheres ready at dawn? btw tekken pwns street fighter

  • Capcom > Konami

  • ATARI SUCKS

  • So far there have been 4 Devil May Cry games NOT 8!!

    Devil May Cry 5 is coming out in total there are 5 known DMC games!

  • VALVe should be at #1

  • 0:58 hitler+duke nukem 3d?

  • @GMAN4PREZLOL Wolfenstien dumbass

  • @GMAN4PREZLOL That's Wolfenstein 3D moron.

  • Since when the hell have their been 8 Devil May Cry Games?!

  • What about Bethesda soft works, i mean you cant forget about hell-gate London, the elder scrolls series and they picked up the fallout series and made it into game of the year not to mention the new games they are making brink that game will kill cod

  • Uh how on Earth did u miss EA??? Seriously!!!

  • @ahtartersauce101 I had it on the last list on which this is based, but changed it to remove EA because as people have pointed out, EA is more of a publisher, and... well.... evil.

  • @Protoman85 why didnt you put rareware up there they made dk 64 battle toads CBFD kameo golden eye which is still one of the best shooters ever

  • @Protoman85 you forgot guarillia

  • @Protoman85 But if you disincluded EA because they're a publisher than why are all of the other ones on your list publishers?

  • @Protoman85 you should make a new list valve should be in it they created half life and portal and tf 2 and left 4 dead

  • @Protoman85 And yet Activision is on the list.

  • @Cade9522 I regret that decision now. But YAWN to your other message. You DO know there's only 10 numbers in a top 10, right? And that it's my opinions? Why can't anyone understand that?

  • @ahtartersauce101 because ea is garbage

  • @ahtartersauce101 is not too good

  • @ahtartersauce101 EA fucking golddiggers

  • VALVE IS fucking amazing! what are you thinking!

  • WHERE IS NAUGHTY DOG THEY CREATED CRASH AND JAK!!!!!!

  • I would have liked to see valve up there, also, has everybody forgotton about lucasarts? They are never in these vidoes D:

  • @xSuperSonic99x conker was made by rare

  • What? RARE isn't even on the list?! my whole life is a lie!

    okay. they were only good at nintendo, but microsoft ruined it

  • i love how you actually mentioned pikmin and earthbound/mother for the nintendo series :)

    i hate how awesome games such as those are often "forgotten" because of more popular games like mario and zelda (i love both, but you know what i mean)

  • sega should also forget sonic 06

  • Totally agree with your list, it's good that you look at it in a very proffetional style and infact know what your talking about! :D:D I would do 10000 thump's up if I could

  • Nintendo? I actually think Capcom should be over Nintendo... because they have a great varity of games! No just "kids games" like nintendo, then have violent games, kids games and all sorts of stuff! Like 60% of all my games are from capcom without me being aware of it!

  • @snorreproductions actually Nintendo has 6 M rated titles: Geist, Perfect Dark, Conker Bad Fur Day, Eternal Darkness, Disaster Day of Crysis, Zangeki no reiv, but they're not developed by nintendo. and they have an infinite number of T rated games

  • @xSUPERSONICx99 ye compared to others thats not so much... :)

  • 8 devil may cry games? wtf?!

  • ..definitely a biased list..not a big deal..at least rename the video "my top 10 best game developers"..

    ..but it seems you were little confused as to what criteria the list should should adhere to..it feels like a top 10 list of most influential game developers in the beginning..and then switches to a top 10 list of most nostalgic game developers..i do agree with your number 1..

  • @fonsecajunior1 Since I'm not a site or corporation, of course it's "my" top 10, that should go without saying. And are you saying Capcom and Konami haven't been influential? And nostalgic? They make good games nowadays too.

  • @Protoman85

    ..there is no doubt that Capcom and Konami have deeply influenced the next generation of videogame developers and ooze nostalgia for gamers under 30..i'm simply pointing out what was your criteria exactly?..you didn't include Bungie because they're a "one trick pony"..but at the same time..you include Rockstar..which basically hinges on it's grand theft auto series to survive..a "one trick pony" one would say..i just want to know what your thoughts are behind that decision..

  • @fonsecajunior1 Sure. Rockstar(the whole company) also did Red Dead Redemption and Bully. Also, I'm quite willing to admit, I like GTA a whole lot better than Halo. It's my personal list to a great extent and since I don't like Halo games, they're less likely to influence my decisions.

  • @Protoman85

    ..have you played Bully?..it's great..but employs the exact same game engine as gta..that's like painting a ferrari a different color and calling it a new model..but all the same..this is your list and i respect your opinion..

  • @Protoman85 isnt half life good??? left4dead or counter strike??? this video realy sucks

  • @left2dieabest4you Or Portal. Valve or Bioware should be the top devs., but neither are on this list. Valve, for revolutionizing the FPS, giving us Steam, giving us unforgettable games (honestly, what gamer hasn't at least heard the meme 'the cake is a lie'?). Bioware, for being an incredibly dedicated dev. to their gamers, revolutionizing the RPG--first with Baldur's Gate, then again with KotOR and Mass Effect series, consistently not only putting out games, but great games....list goes on..

  • @ldf8u I think this was made before those games

  • @danexgen

    Portal - Oct 2007

    Half Life - 1992

    Half Life 2 - 2004

    Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 - 1998, 2000 respectively

    KotOR - 2003

    Mass Effect 1 - Nov 2007 (console) / May 2008 (PC)

    Either way, all of these games were made *before* this video was. Thanks for reply though.

  • @ldf8u oh i forgot about half-life. I was mainly thinking of Portal (I thought it came out later). But yeah your totally right

  • @fonsecajunior1 Bungie = Developer with one entirely overrated mediocre IP.

    Definitely top ten worthy.

  • @Protoman85 Why are you an aethiest?

  • @IvoryGecko1993 because gods are bullshit.

  • @haarbal1997 Ugh. I get so sick of people like you. Why do people take the lord's name in vein? Do the math... >B(

  • @IvoryGecko1993 you really believe in that?

  • @haarbal1997 Yeah, so?

  • @Protoman85

    some site or corporations do have horrible lists though. did anyone read guiness' top 50 game series?

    #1 halo. #2 call of duty #4 guitar hero #8 gears of war #17 runescape. WTF?

    and dont forget ridiculous mentions like: #42 Tom Clancy's (?) #25 smackdown vs raw #46 Lego batman

    And a lot of franchises don't even appear. castlevania, contra, tekken, you name it.

    guiness claims it was determined by a public poll. and which public did they ask, 14 year old xbox fanboys?

  • Nintendo? come in. the made the Wii which is so bad and all the mario, zelda, sonic etc are so bad. WHERE THE FUCK IS VALVE??? TF2 and L4D2 are one of the best games ever.

  • @haarbal1997 you gotta look at the past the NES the SNES and the 64 had some of the best games that WERE made by nintendo

  • Croteam and Valve ;)

    nice list tho

  • My #2 is Nintendo. #1 is Valve

  • You forgot something: VALVE.

  • people, Valve started in 1998, nintendo started in 1889 like the anothe ones. They have more expirience than Valve.

    The fun fact is that these guys made a shitload of games but they only get 85 or 75 of score, evvery time Valve makes a game, that game has 95 or 85 of score

  • @Littlebabyguns lol your WAY off on the years.

  • Hey this list should be the 10 worst game developers. come get real its 2010 you made this 2008. those developers are for windows 95. i mean come on we are already at windows 7 with directx 11 graphics. those game are small enough to fit on a cellphine lol.

    EA, Ubisoft, Microsoft they are on the top of the list.

    but yet again its only your list. if you like those its fine. but then your really weird.

  • @0UnknownPerson You sir, are a graphics whore in the pocket of big business.

  • @Protoman85 Nice vid and all funny yeah.

    but just change the topic to " My top ten game developers"

    or something like that. anyway.

    nice effects in the vid. come to think of it when gaming just started those where the best. nothing could beat a nice game of pacman.

    peace out

  • @0UnknownPerson Microsoft are not game developers, they dont make games they only make consoles and other products for there consoles. and how dare you say that Nintendo, capcom, square enix or some of the other game developers should be in a top ten worst list, they have made some of the greatest and most inspiring games ever made like Ocarina of time, Final fantasy VII and the original sonic games, and who gives a fuck if you can put some of the games on a cellphone there still great games.

  • @0UnknownPerson Lier. SEGA, Nintendo and Capcom are still awesome, and always will be.
