Psygnosis. Amazingly creative studio with lot's of potential. Too bad their talents went so unappreciated by many gamers. Loved Wipeout 64, great times. I still can't believe that, during their closure, there was not a hint of backlash and everything was just swiped under the rug. That SunnyD is truly delicious.

Amongst the listed ones, Bullfrog, but I'll add Looking Glass, Psygnosis, Ion Storm, Black Isle, JoWooD, Papyrus and I'm surely forgetting some others.

Free Radical and Pandemic :(

The two I'll miss are Sega and Konami. Or is it still too soon?

Free Radical.

It hurts even more when they were almost done with Battlefront 3 but had to cancel it.

Westwood studios. My love for C&C is probably the one RTS franchise I love the most with Starcraft coming in second.

Bullfrog for their Theme series, namely Theme Hospital and Theme Park world, Syndicate and Dungeon Keeper.

Hudson for Bomber Man in general, how I really miss that series.

I miss the rest of them but these 3 are probably my most missed studios out of the list. It's such a shame that they get bought out by bigger corps and then scrapped sooner or later on down the line, this is why I worry whenever I see big publisher or 2 of the big 3 platform creators buying them up.

Sega? Better than ever before = dead now? Wut?

How is Sega better than ever? They pretty much stopped all AAA console development, and haven't released a new game all year long. All in favor of doubling down on mobile. Same goes for Konami and Capcom to a certain extent.

I will never forgive Sony for what they did to Zipper and SOCOM*.

* - Unless they hire Zipper guys to give us SOCOM II HD.

Ensemble Studios: 1995 to 2009

Creator of such RTS games as the Age of Empires series, Age of Mythology, Halo Wars, and some Star Wars game I forgot existed.

Was acquired by Microsoft in 2001, between the release of AoE2 and AoM. Microsoft then decided to close them down during the development of Halo Wars. Halo Wars went on to sell a couple million copies and had good reviews, but I guess a PC-oriented studio was not what Microsoft wanted.



Love and tolerate.
