Who's your favorite game creator? POLL inside

Some one else... seriously why are they all Japenese devs? My favs (couldn't choose one) Valve, Bungie, Epic, Westwood, Capcom, Blizzard, Microsoft Game Studios, I'm very indecisve...

EDIT- Justsaw Lionhead.

John Carmack is a badass_en1gma_

godfather of FPS. *bows*

What I like mostly is the total control you have over Snake, wich is totally unique. Snake can Run, walk slow, stalk, duck, jump forward, shoot while standing up, crouching and lying down and you can crawl fast, slow and stalk, hang from rails, drop from rails, lean against walls, knock on walls, hide in cardboard boxes, choke enemies, break their neck, slit their throat, interrogate them, stun them, knock them out, put them to sleep, and not to mention the CQC moves and the whole FREEZE! thing wich is awesomeabudjasim

miyamoto .. his games speak for themselves

Who's your favorite dev? And why?

My favorite is Kojima. He invented the stealth-action genre single-handidly, wrote the most awesome story in a game ever and created the most awesome game character ever: Solid Snake. GrlGmr

Pet peeve of mine. Kojima did not invent the stealth-action genre. Tenchu: Stealth Assassins was the first stealth game released,andwas alreadyin production before MGS was announced.Thief was also in production at the same time as MGS. So at best Kojima helped shape the genre. He didn't invent it

Are you kidding? You cant compare crappy games like tenchu and thief with MGS.

Considering that Thief outscored MGS with a 9.1 , and Tenchu: Stealth Assassins got 8.3 (scoring only .2 behind MGS), I wouldn't exactly call them crappy games. IMHO, both games kick MGS square in the balls.

MGS wasn't the first, nor was it the best stealth game. Was it memorable? Yes. But that doesn't mean it was first or best.

It WAS the first. The original Metal Gear on the MSX was the first stealth game. And IMHO MGS kicks tenchu and thief square in the nuts. And those scores dont mean anything. Every site and magasine has its own score anyway.

No, Metal Gear was NOT the first stealth game. If you're going to count Metal Gear as a stealth game in the same vein as more recent games like MGS, then it's still predated by the original Castle Wolfenstein, which came out in 1981.

Tenchu was the first 3D stealth game released, and it was in development before MGS was. Those are the facts.

The fact that you called Thief and Tenchu (and I'm only talking about the first one here) crappy games makes me doubt your judgement. They were not crappy games (Thief especially), and their scores reflect that.

Thief: The Dark Project: 90% on Gamerankings: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/71536.asp?q=thief

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins: 83% on Gamerankings: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/198911.asp?q=tenchu

No Sid Meiers or Will Wright? This thread sucks.

Edit: No Tim Schafer or Michael Ancel? This is madness!

1. I voted Miyamoto

2. Toriyama is a character designer, not a game designer

3. Where the hell is Will Wright?

I don't really have a favorite game creator per say.

Miyamoto *Mario, Zelda* , Kojima, *Metal Gear Solid, Lunar Knights* Kazuya Niinou *Trauma Center, Etrian Odyessy* , and Suda-51 *Killer 7* are amongst my favorites. :)

Miyamoto, and also, Ejli Aouma (sry if i destroyed his name). Both men are worthy of best developers. Also, Miyamoto is just a silly, fun person.
