Poll Naughty Dog vs Nintendo EAD Group #3 - who's better? (129 votes)

Naughty Dog 42%
Nintendo EAD Group No. 3 58%

Naughty Dog

Crash Bandicoot 1,2,3
Crash Team Racing
Jak & Daxter 1,2,3
Jak X: Combat Racing
Uncharted 1,2,3
Uncharted 4
The Last of Us

Nintendo EAD Group No. 3

Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Legend of Zelda: Link's Crossbow Training
Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (co-developed)

Based on this list only, I'd give the nod to Naughty Dog since Ocarina of Time/Majora's mask is not cited. What say you, SW?

Naughty Dogs of course, the games they make are not only really good, have great stories but they also made more than ONE franchise like what the Ninntendo EAD group does.

Naughty Dog has different teams.

So why did you split up Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development and not Naughty Dog ?

Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development > Naughty Dog

Then what was this nonsense people were saying with TLOU being made by ND's A-team, as opposed to the scoundrels that did UC3?

Lol, easy Naughty Dog of course.

Most of those Zelda games are mediocre and don't come close to most ND games.

So, no teams. Free-for-all.

TC should just stack up EAD to ND then.

How exactly can you boil down nintendo to just that list of games? Doing such is assuming you know the list of employees that worked on all the games. Did Naughty Dogs staff stay consistent throughout all the games you listed for them?

there is no different team or a second team.

they can have two projects going at different stages of development because everyone is not necessary to complete any one game all the time. When certain staff have finished their work on one project, they move over to the next while other essential personnel finish the first one.

Uncharted 3 lead designer Jacob Minkoff is the same one as TLOU.

So when Naughty Dog says: "After Uncharted 2 we split into two teams, one making Uncharted 3 and the other began working on TLOU" ... They actually mean there are no different teams ?

Hmmm, ok. Very interesting point you have there.

Again, I fail to see why ND is counted as a whole and Nintendo EAD is split up.

Naughty Dog since I'm not a fan of the Zelda games that this EAD group has made. If they would have made Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, my answer would be different.

@R4gn4r0k: @charizard1605: um.. Nintendo has 7 development groups. How exactly is that fair? All you're doing is comparing the titles between these two. If you look at the heavy hitters between the two and the fact that Naughty Dog is working on next gen Uncharted and Nintendo EAD 3 is working on next gen Zelda, I think that's pretty fair dudes... Sounds like the sheep can't take losing one poll finally.

"Not fair" LMAO

You're the one doing the comparison.

And sure, yeah, call other people fanboys because you can't explain why Nintendo EAD was split up and Naughty Dog wasn't... right.

In a recent interview, I remember reading someone from naughty dog saying they were never fully a 2 dev team, they tried it , but I guess it never fully materialized. I they now they are just a really big studio, that can work on more than one project at a time.

Nintendo EAD #3 isn't even Nintendo's best development team but they still destroy Naughty Dog completely.

Gameplay and level design matter to me more than anything and those are Naughty Dogs' weakest aspects. At least it's been that way for the past decade with them

It you wanted to split up Nintendo EAD, then you should have split it up into Nintendo EAD Kyoto and Nintendo EAD Tokyo. That makes far more sense than splitting them up into Group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

It honestly has nothing to do with that. It's comparing the titles in the list. That's all.

Well Naughty Dog hasn't made any really good games since they stopped the platformers; TLoU was good, but it's basically a rush through the gameplay segments to get to the next cutscene.

Nintendo has been slipping as well.

Both of these devs used to make much better games.

So you split up Nintendo but you don't split up ND? Thread is pointless

Also you forget that ND made Uncharted 1 and 3 as well. U2 is amazing, 1 and 3 are not

Even with the fact that you're comparing both ND teams to one EAD team that's not even their best, Nintendo still comes out on top.

I really miss pre-PS3 ND though. If only they had continued in that direction, they'd be one hell of a great developer today.

Sony needed a graphics showboat of a dev though and they fill that role well. It would have been nice to see them continue to pursue gameplay rather than putting all their efforts into graphics though. They do make solid games still, but nothing worth more than a rental.

That's really not a fair comparison considering that EAD group 3 has only existed for 10 years and you are comparing it to what Naughty Dog has done since it began. Nintendo EAD 3 + pre-2004 EAD crushes Naughty Dog quite easily.

But sure, for this poll I suppose it would be Naughty Dog since Aonuma needs to be fired.
