Not a single Square-Enix, Konami, and Capcom studio = Fail.

Throw out SCE from that list, I noticed I NEVER owned a SCE game even since I got my PS1 (lol, I was adding games in my PlayStation.com account, and yes, it was a poor list). And I'd put Valve above Bungie, IMO. But they both redesigned the FPS genre in their way... So I'm not sure anymore! @_@

 

You know that Polyphony Digital, Naughty Dog, Team ICO and Sony Santa Monica are SCE right? So in other words, you're  saying the company that produces GT series, Crash (good ones), Jax, ICO, SoTC, GOW, Twisted Metal, etc. are not worthy of the list?

Talk about missing out ... the only reason why SCE should not be on that list is because SCE consist of a plethora of different studios around the world, thus making it unfair.

Well, all of these are subsidiary studios from SCE. I could put Amusement Vision from SEGA as well because they made F-Zero GX, or I could put Intelligent Systems because they made Fire Emblem. See, it's easy to make a list of good games with such good developers, meaning you could do the same for Nintendo I guess. o_o

P.S.: I did own a couple of SCEA titles, but pretty much the same like everyone else I knew: the GT games on PS1. No PS2 games though, even though I know I played God of War.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Sony are there but Capcom are not? Capcom have more talent in thier little finger than sony will ever have........

and i love how people say that microsoft have no game studios.... this is only thier second console for crying out loud...... back in 1994 SONY had no developers....... and the only reason sony got in to the gaming business was due to ken kutugari stealing hardware and software ideas from nintendo....... when sony first started out in gaming they had NO developers.... They bought their success back in the day.... At Least Sega and Nintendo had their OWN hardware and software developers.....

Sony fans are hypocrites..... they accuse Microsoft of buying everything when thats EXACTLY THE SAME THING that sony did when they first started out in the gaming business...... tut tut tut

Rockstar North and Bungie don't exactly pump out the games. They only really have one major franchise each, though admittedly those sell tremendously well.

SE definitely should have been up there in place of one of those, because of DQ, FF, KH, etc.  Valve would've also been a good choice.

Also, why single out EA Tiburon but lump the entirety of SCE together as one studio? Same goes for Nintendo EAD, which is separated into individual (though lesser known) groups.

I agree that there are better choices than Bungie/Rockstar North.

I think they singled out EA Tiburon so they could list Maxis as well.

Wait what? Bungie has 1 franchise? Are you insane?

You people forgot about the biggest point and click franchise in the world, Myst.

 

seriously

being 15 year in gaming never heard of Myst

 

 

Seriously, if you are ignorant, it's not our problem. Myst is one of the best selling PC games of all time along Starcraft, WoW and of course, The Sims.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

 Sony is on the list because they have 19 1st party studios and a few 2nd second party studios( i think 5 or 6)...where do you think Nintendo and SEGA got their ideas for a console?...Atari

I agree that SCE (and any publisher, like Capcom or S-E) should be off the list. And I would say that, as a FF fan, Final Fantasy X-2 was a definate fail. =)

However, the collection of studios under the SCE hood are amongst the most talented on the planet, without question. Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War 1/2, the Twisted Metal series, the original Spyro trilogy, original Crash Bandicoot trilogy, all the SOCOMs, all the Ratchet & Clanks (technically 2nd party), all the Jak & Daxters , Uncharted, Resistance, all the Gran Turismos, etc. etc...the list goes on and on and on and on. I would argue that, as a collection, the studios under SCE are probably responsible for more quality gaming than any other 1st party studio collection in existance... including Nintendo's 1st-party studio collection (which I would rank a close 2nd). Sony 1st-party development is incredible, whether you like it or not. Sony bought every one of the studios which made the above titles (or the title IPs, in the case of the 2nd parties), for a good reason.

One of the large gaming mags posted an "average review scores by publisher" of the last 5 years (or so) early this year. SCE was #1, as I recall, and rightfully so.

Sega and Nintendo both had thier own software and Hardware developers...... Sony didn't even like games back in the early 90's look around the web, theres tonnes of quotes from sony showing that they looked down upon gaming.... and they only got involved in gaming once ken kutugari got back to them with the hardware and software ideas he stole from nintendo..... so is it alright to steal and basically stick two fingers up at everybodyelse? Sony have lots of studios now... but when they first started in gaming they had NOTHING... even their 1st two popular franchises were not made by sony... Tekken (Namo made it) and Wipeout (Psygnosis).... so yeah, they may have 19 studios now... but they tread on a lot of feet and paid a lot of money for their success and thats the be all and end all of it.... so the next time a sony fanboy complains about microsoft buying things.... check your histroy first huh



Maxis?

I love thier games, but MAXIS?
