Developers with the brightest futures

To preface: This is NOT System Wars. Please keep the conversation focused on the positive aspects of the various developers.

I'm interested in hearing which developers you believe have the brightest futures and why. Capcom? Take Two? Ubisoft? Square Enix?

Do they have profitable franchise titles like Maxis's The Sims? A ton of intellectual property like the character pool of Nintendo (Mario, Samus Aran, Donkey Kong, etc.)? Technical resources like Epic Games (who licenses the Unreal Engine)? A willingness to take creative risks such as Media Molecule (Little Big Planet) and The Behemoth (Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers)?

Happy gaming,

I think Bungie has got a bright future ahead of them. I'm pretty sure their deal with activision is awesome. Basically, keeping creative freedom and all that while having the biggest publisher in the industry behind you to turn the biggest ideas into reality. Anyways, bungie themselves were very happy with the deal.

Id say Bethesda Softworks (are there any open-world RPGs with the scale and magnitude of Elder Scrolls or recent Fallout installments? No, i dont think so) They hold the monopoly in the genre...

well take two are a publisher... not a developer. you should of put rockstar instead. as rockstar can't put a foot wrong.

Vigil Games. Darksiders was their first ever game and it was a masterpiece in my opinion. If they keep getting better they will turn into amazing developers.

Manhunt says "hi." Also, Midnight Club has been hit-or-miss, and if Table Tennis had had any other name besides Rockstar on it, it wouldn't have rated so highly.

On console, maybe, though Two Worlds II isn't supposed to be too bad.

On topic: I think Gearbox has what it takes to become one of the big time developers, though it seems most of their stuff to date has been built on existing stuff (kind of like Treyarch, but with some actual originality sprinkled in).
