Naughty Dog, no contest, and judging by the poll that's exactly what it is .

Both in the PS1 era and the PS3 era they made my favorite PlayStation games of the gen. Most are among my favorites of all-time. They seem to know exactly what fits my gameplay preferences with Crash Bandicoot and Uncharted. Even while I don't think The Last Us was the second coming, Naughty Dog will the primary reason for me to get a PS4 down the line. I hope they deliver.


Hmm, maybe I should have just assumed everyone was a Naughty Dog fan and excluded them from the poll to make it less one sided :P

Heh. Well if you want to know what I'd pick if ND weren't in there; Guerrilla. Because SCE Cambridge made MediEvil and they're a part of them now. Sadly, the series is probably dead. If not them it's a tie between a couple, among which Santa Monica.

It's a shame they never bought Insomniac :(

I always am ready to say that instead of ND and then I remember they're making Sunset Overdrive for XO which really sucks! Quit stealing other people's stuff MS!!! First RARE and now Insomniac! Though they haven't done anything I love since Resistance 3...at least Nexus was fun if short. Seriously though Ratchet is my favorite series of all time and Resistance 3 my favorite FPS

It has to be Naughty Dog for me.

Crash
Jak & Daxter
Uncharted
Last of Us

I've enjoyed every single one of those games. The only developing team that could compete was Insomniac but they chose to remain third party and never got the same publicity they deserved for their great games.

I just don't get why they're going away from Playstation now.  I mean they used to be SO close.  I remember on PS2 when Ratchet would have Jak nods in their games and vice versa.  It was really cool and I remember seeing Youtube interviews where Ted Price would talk about how they were basically brother studios.  It's really sad to see them making stuff for MS now and getting paid to keep it exclusive.  They may have gotten jealous of ND's critical and commercial success while they basically plateaued.  I think the turning point was Resistance 3.  They made an AWESOME game with no weapon limit, CRAZY weapons with great secondary fires and upgrading, health packs instead of regeneration, a well-told story, and fun and varied enemies and encounters yet got so little return because Sony botched the marketing and failed to even show gameplay in their ads.  I think that may have caused the rift because after that all they've gotten is mini Ratchet titles and Insomniac first announcing Fuse would be multi and then Sunset Overdrive being XB exclusive.

Even Santa Monica and Polyphony being great and Naughty Dog being amazing. Japan wins, that's no contest.
They did and still do a lot of amazing games, they did ONE of the best games of all time, Shadow of the Colossus, and THE very best game too, The Legend of Dragoon (IMO of course, just look at my avatar and sig).
No one can win over this, sorry ND, I still love you.


Japan Studio has made a bunch of great games. I hope they start announcing more ps4 titles soon. 



Japan Studio for me. I love the fact that they have a very diverse library of games and the fact that Sony allows them to make very creative games that aren't going to sell millions of copies. Some of my favorite games from that studio includes: Shadow of the Colossus, Patapon, Puppeteer, and Echochrome.



I have been a fan of Naughty Dog for years. Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter, Uncharted, and now The Last of Us are all great series and the studio just seems to get better with age.

Sucker Punch is a very close second to me tho. They don't have ND's pedigree of games but Infamous is just such a good IP to me, I think I enjoy those games a tad more than Uncharted. I dabble in Sly, not bad but not one of my favs.

I personally do not care for Sony Santa Monica's work. God of War doesn't interest me at all, I do respect it's popularity tho. Same thing with Polyphony and Gran Turismo, couldn't care less.
