Put your head in a washing machine and give it a clean

Well that's my pick man. You can pick your own we don't have to agree.

 

[jufonuk]

Nintendo.
Capcom.
Night Dive

 

[tmlDan]

a lot of people are naming publishers lol

 

[Magic Carpet]

People saying Fromsoft are just WRONG.
Name a game they put on the Switch.
Leaving out Nintendo does not make a great developer.

 

[Dynasty8]

From Software. Been very consistent with quality over the last 15 years.

 

[Flabagast]

I have to go with CDPR

 

[hemo memo]

Devolver

 

[Tg89]

FROM and Nintendo are a cut above the rest.

 

[SSfox]

Capcom and it's not even close

 

[Generic]

Nintendo and Capcom. Consistently high quality, wide variety in their libraries, have both been doing it since the 80s.

Capcom doesn't have variety, nearly all their games are remakes and sequels of old franchises.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Capcom doesn't have variety, nearly all their games are remakes and sequels of old franchises.

But it's those remakes and sequels that have gotten me into Resident Evil. I missed out on that stuff early on and now I get to play it, and in a better way.

 

[hinch7]

Capcom. The consistancy, quantity and quality are all top notch with each release. They've only gotten better through the years.

FROM are up there but not quite so crazy with their release schedule.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Nintendo
Capcom
FROM Software

They are all operating at their peak right now, it's an amazing thing to see.

 

[Banjo64]

Nintendo From Software

 

[Hudo]

Nintendo

Larian
Atlus & Vanillaware
id Software

 

[Jesb]

For me it’s Capcom. I haven’t had a Nintendo since Wii but I gotta think they are probably top 3.

 

[blue velvet]

Definitely Rockstar.

 

[nial]

a lot of people are naming publishers lol

Publishers can technically be developers too; From Software, SEGA, Nintendo, SIE, Capcom, Square Enix, etc.
It does not apply with others like Rockstar Games, though, they don't make games by themselves, and instead have subsidiaries doing that for them (like Rockstar North).

 

[Wastelander92]

1. Capcom
2. From
3. Atlus

 

[El Muerto]

Capcom and Sega. Also Tango Gameworks if this was a perfect world.

 

[fart town usa]

Capcom hands down IMO.

All platforms supported, VR masters, quick turn around time, their own proprietary engines. They are absolute masters of the craft.

Only thing they lack is smaller games. Give us some old school beat em ups, etc. Weird that they don't have a small team dedicated to continuing those beloved IPs. Seems like a no-brainer.

Not necessarily, they have different dev teams internally in Square Enix with specific names, saying "Capcom" doesn't really narrow it down, not all their games are good.

 

[Varteras]

Whoever made Dave the Diver.

 

[Ribi]

FROM

It's hard to no be consistent when you just copy paste assets from games you made in the 2000s. Which also speaks to their quality.. what was the state of their games on pc again on release?


Y'all people really did a quick U-turn on capcom in the span of like 3years huh? All they had to do was remake old games... Once they run outta remakes y'all will once again realize how shit they are.

 

[twilo99]

Insomniac for sure

 

[TGO]

Capcom is one of the few that had a steady flow of good releases in the usual timeframe without the "games take longer to make" excuses

 

[Laptop1991]

PC gamer, so i have to say CDPR, nowadays although they don't make games regularly, i would have said Bethesda before Fallout 76, but not now.

 

[lestar]

Capcom, rock solid releases since RE7

 

[_Ex_]

 

[Soodanim]

I'm not saying it's my answer, I'm just leaving this here.

 

[Bernardougf]

FROM ... since Demons Souls they change gaming for me ... and launched their own genre that to this day devs try to emulate with just now achieving some degree of success

 

[lachesis]

Personally I am a big fan of Falcom. . 40-50 people, pumping out yearly projects - and they know what's important and what's not for their situation = and mostly works out quite well.

 

[Kataploom]

Nintendo and I don't even care for many of their marios, kirbys, etc., but seeing other comment on them and seeing how great quality the games I like from them (Metroid, Zelda, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, mostly) it seems like they barely miss. They had some misses with their Mario sport games tho, it looks like they rushed the release but even so the gameplay and general polish seemed to be on point, problem was the amount of content.

 

[Aion002]

For me is FromSoftware.

On the ps1 they were ok, on the ps2 they started getting excellent, Kuon is amazing, Another's Century 2 is epic and Otogi was cool... From the PS3 onward with Demon's Souls they became incredible, other than Ninja Blade (that was a dud), I've got no complains on FS games.

Year after year they kept delivering excellent games, from Gundam UC to Dark Souls, Armored Core VD to Bloodborne, Sekiro to Elden Ring and soon from AC6 to ER dlc.

They are consistently top notch.

Not necessarily, they have different dev teams internally in Square Enix with specific names, saying "Capcom" doesn't really narrow it down, not all their games are good.

I mean, I agree with your position, but just saying that calling them 'developers' isn't necessarily wrong.

 

[SHA]

CD Project. Actually any game that makes you forget about your time, a timeless game, that's awesome cause it makes you careless about modern constraints.

 

[SJRB]

GODS AMONG MEN

Metroid (aside from the three GB and GBA games) Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Kirby, and the Mario sport games (other than Kart) are not developed by Nintendo, just published by them.

 

[Bojji]

From Software and CDPR.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Saying Nintendo is same as saying SIE or Xbox game studios. I think same goes for Capcom as well.

For a single studio I will go with Obsidian as of now. Depending on how Avowed turns out.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Like A Dragon Studios at Sega. High quality production values mixed with unrivaled consistency and releases like clockwork.

 

[Neff]

Nintendo and Capcom, as it's always been.

 

[Killer8]

Jarvis, give me a breakdown of what percentage of Japanese developers were named in this thread.

 

[LordOfChaos]

From Software

 

[Shtef]

 

[NeverYouMind]

I see many mentions of Capcom and I don't know why. Dragon's Dogma 2 was meh, Street Fighter 6 was (and is) meh, Devil May Cry 5 was mid, Resident Evil Village was mid, and Monster Hunter has always been Fortnite for weebs. Only really good releases from them have been the Resident Evil Remakes.

I also see mentions of Rockstar but they have just been riding the coattails of Grand Theft Auto V since the PS3/X360 release. Red Dead Redemption 2 was more an interactive experience than a game.

P.S. I would say a bit about how terrible modern Nintendo is, but I am biased.

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

In no particular order

 

[Bartski]

Rockstar, in the rare event that they give a fuck

 

[Kokoloko85]

FromSoft
Insomniac

 

[Caio]

FROM, Capcom, Nintendo.
