Same as you but for two reasons.

1. Bungie and Naughty Dog would create some of the best games ever imo knowing both of their track records.

2. To watch Cows and Lemmings rage and pull out their hair on these forums.

I've told my friends it would be AWESOME if Media Molecule did Forge and made it as easy and complex LBP level editing.

Bungie and Bioware would be an awesome team imo

Bungie and Bioware both create sci-fi/fantasy games, but they are masters of different genres. If they merged we could see some great hybrid genres from them.

Naughty Dog kinda has it's own distinct flavor that they don't share with Bungie, so I wouldn't think that'd be as great a merger as Bioware/Bungie

Actually it would only be the Lemmings. Naughty Dog is a Sony property while Bungie is no longer an MS property. So a merger between the two would mean that Sony had purchased Bungie.

Realisticaly? Headup games and Big Finish Games. I'm playing their games right now. Headup's Twin Sector shows they have the tech skills, the engine is smooth (nothing fancy, but very impressive for indie game), their physics puzzles good etc, but Twin Sector lacks good story, storytelling and has no real atmosphere. Which is everything that Big Finish's 3 Cards to Midnight has, but it lacks modern tech. Those two studios together would be a match made in heaven, perfect for the next Tex Murphy game (Big Finish was formed by it's creators and their own the IP), especially since older Tex games were pioneers in 3D adventure gameplay

For me the most interesting merger would probably be between Bioware and Capcom mostly because of the Resident Evil series. I always wanted to see some sort of Resident Evil role playing game, and the same can be made with a survival horror role playing game. I don't know how it would turn out, but I certainly am curious of what the two company could come up with if they did indeed merge together.

My choices:

Nintendo and Level 5

Nintendo and Square-Enix (Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest characters in a future Super Smash Bros. game; Cloud vs. Link)

Nintendo and Capcom (Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Megaman, Street Fighter all exclusive in Nintendo's systems)

Hhhhmmmmm, I could think of a few. Naughty Dog and Bungie of course, but it's already mentioned. Valve and Bioware. I have no idea what kind of game they would make, but I'm sure it would be mindblowingly awesome

Sega and Nintendo, could you imagine how good Sonic games could be? and Sega's other IPs like the Jet set series making a return.

Naughty Dog and Guerrilla Games.

That duo would have way better graphics than Crysis and better physics than Metal Gear Solid 4.

Their games together would be so good, you woulda thought that they were PS4 games!!!!!

This is a hard one. I think Infinity Ward (Call of Duty) and Naughty Dog (Uncharted). They are both experienced in their own fields, IW with shooters and NG for exploration and adventure. If they could create a new IP that incorporated these elements perfectly it would be a sure seller.

Sorry, but arcady games would be a downgrade for ND. GG would be better than IW. Actually GG in general is better than IW.
