We love Iga's Castlevania games, but he needs to take the franchise to the next level. Despite minor additions, such as the blending of 2-D and 3-D, all of these games, from NES (1986) to DS (2006) play almost exactly the same. He deserves kudos because fans eat them up, but we want a game that doesn't involve wading through yet another castle so we can battle Dracula for the billionth time. Stop repackaging the same old video game. Symphony of the Night is so 1997. Hell, the original is so 1986. #4 - David Jaffe
Sony Computer Entertainment's outspoken game designer rocketed to "stardom" with God of War. With that being said, fans and/or journalists treat him as the God of War figurehead, which somewhat undermines God of War II Game Director Cory Barlog's importance. This is no insult to Jaffe. We enjoy his off the cuff remarks as well as the games he's worked on, but his latest offering, the not yet released Calling All Cars leaves us unimpressed. Perhaps we're incapable of realizing how difficult it is to follow up God of War. #3 - Hideo Kojima
Konami's famous visionary revolutionized the action genre with his Metal Gear franchise, but we have more respect for his directing abilities. He continues to thrill people with his over the top cut scenes, but we still don't know what's going on in his games. Characters ramble on for more than five minutes at a time, and some of them look and sound ridiculous. ("Laugh and grow fat", anyone?) Furthermore, most of the MGS games play the same (Acid and Acid 2 excluded). MGS3's camouflage was fun to mess with, but we need more than fancy outfits. MGS4 looks incredible, but some of us have no interest in watching polygons jibber jabber. Kojima needs to prove that he's more than flashy visuals.
#2 - Shigeru Miyamoto
Nintendo fan boys (and girls) go gaga over everything "Shiggy" says, but come on. He doesn't create games by himself. Sometimes, he joins teams and, whether he intends to or not, receives all of the credit. He earned his place among the industry elite, thanks to his early contributions, but please add new (and memorable) characters to the Mario universe. Even better, come up with new IPs. Introduce us to new worlds and faces instead of falling back on the same overused franchises. In addition, cut back on the forced appearances. We feel uncomfortable watching you conducting imaginary orchestras and swinging the Master Sword to make gamers cry with joy.
Don't get us wrong. We love Miyamoto, and we'll bludgeon anyone that bashes Wind Waker, but we'd rather see him as an influential, cultural icon instead of Nintendo's PR puppet
#1 - Reggie Fils-Aime
Last we checked, Reggie hasn't kicked anyone's ass, nor has he taken their names (what does that mean, anyway?) We're confidant that Nintendo of America's President and Chief Operating Officer makes significant contributions on a weekly basis, but to read message boards (we do, unfortunately), he's become this mythic figure that rescued the company from itself, introducing millions of consumers to a more hardcore Nintendo. While that may be true, we still cannot find Wiis and friend codes suck.
I agree with #1 (though I would nto put reggie at first place) but Shiggy? that was just stupid to say... he really is the Legend in Video games... you cant name someone who has done more
[QUOTE="poopinloop32"][QUOTE="web966"]I dont agree with any of that, espicially #2web966
cause your a nintendo fan You think Miyamoto is overated?yes he is still getting praise for creating Mario and others but thats like saying the 49ers are good today because they won 5 titles
wow i don't agree with any of that drivel. that is like americans saying the founding fathers are over rated. it is not that they are better than everyone else as developers. it is the fact that these are the figure heads or even legends of game design. they deserve to be honored. game daily i give you two thumbs down. and i give the TC two thumbs and two toes down for posting this.
I disagree with that entire list, especially #2. They ignore games like Wii Sports and Pikmin, and they're more or less saying to stop making sequels even though they sell.
:D That list is awesome I personally criticised Miyamoto in a previous thread of mine and did a damn fine job too, might I add. And Kojima is overrated.

Its like David Jaffe made one decent game. And now we have to listen to like he is important.
Kojima...We have to listen to all that Kiss Sony A** PR. OMG I want more than 50gigs!!! OMG Its such a great game. Its like you pretty much do nothing but make interactive movies. Get over yourself.Â
 Reggie. You do not even make games for crying out loud.

cause your a nintendo fan You think Miyamoto is overated?yes he is still getting praise for creating Mario and others but thats like saying the 49ers are good today because they won 5 titles no its nothing like that. everytime miyamoto has directed a game its been great. u know the last game he directed was what ocarina of time. (whats that, it got a 10). he is responsible for nintendo even being famous, hes made a ton of great games. the only knock on him is he hasnt done anything for awhile. thats nothing like the 49ers being a decent team now(8-8 even though i dont see them doing much).
Because anyone from Gametrailers has ever or even has the ability to accomplish what some of these people have accomplished in their lifetime. It's like saying Einstein is overated because he couldn't turn the moon into butter.
I think thats more of a "call out" list. He wants the best of the best to show us why they deserve the title. On that level, I agree with the list completely. I dont think anyone deserves the right to make a mediocre game, no matter how great they were in the past.

 Um no, as a Niner fan I can say we haven't done anything since the 90's. Shiggy is still making good games man.
