Keep them cumming Sony.
« on: July 08, 2002, 04:49:38 PM »
I was just thinking of this the other day and I came to a conclusion that Sony is now my favorite developer.
 Now back in the old days of PSone I completely hated there games ( cough: cough: 989 games). But now with PS2 they have really been making some top-notch great games. With Psone I think I only had two Sony games, GT1, GT2. But now I\'ve been getting every game they make upon release.

So, I decided to put a list together to show how many great games they have put out and will put out.

Gran Turismo : Best racing franchise ever, IMO.              
The Getaway : Has serious potential to be GOTY          
ICO : This game really surprised me especially comming from Sony.                                                          
Jak and Daxter : Two classic characters and one classic game.          
Socom : Not really into that type of thing but looks cool.                        
Twisted Metal : Back in Black was one hell of a way to bring the series out of the grave, and has now set the standard        
Sly Cooper : Looks very interesting and fun, mixing MGS and platforming is pure genious
Parappa the Rappa : I always loved this type of game    
Ratchet and Clank : Looks amazing and should set a standard for the genre
Primal : One of my most wanted games of the year.
The Mark of Kri Also very innovative, looks very promising according to EGM.

See, most of these are new franchises to, Sony just doesn\'t keep bringing back the same old games over and over. More than half of the games on that list a completely new franchises for PS2. And they still manage to keep the old ones (GT) new with every new instalment. In close second comes Konami as my favorite developer.
               
 What is your current developer of choice and why?

Sega

Sonic, NiGHTS, Panzer Dragoon, Virtua Fighter, House of the Dead, Crazy Taxi, Skies of Arcadia, Space Channel 5, Samba De Amigo, Shenmue, Phantasy Star, Sega GT, 2K series, Chu Chu Rocket...

While they seem to be churning out nothing buy sequels lately, I\'m still a big fan from yesteryear.  Originality, innovation, and quality have always been a factor in Sega.

Yeah Sony tops my list along with Square, Namco and Capcom :)

Sony has really got their act together brining us AAA games.
Right now I think Sony has a better 1st/2nd party lineup than Nintendo (please dont kill me ;)).

Sony is becoming bigger and bigger.. Btw, their Game division has made major profit this year (even bigger than their Film division) so Sony is investing even more money.. Woho! :D

The only Sega game I own is Virtua Fighter and I pick Tekken over that. But now that Shinobi is comming out I might change my mind out Sega.
And I agree fastson, Sony does look like to have the best first party line-up this gen, with Nintendo in close second, as for Microsoft I don\'t like a single title they are making :eek:.

Yeah I just loved the first Syhon Filter the explosion thing was wierd though. I never played the last two but a PS2 update might bring me back in the Filter fun :D .

I\'m not impressed with MS\'s first party efforts either...I\'m curious about a few though.  Same with Sony, most of their efforts were medicore but it seems they have raised some standards.  It\'s all for the better...I expect good things to come.

Nintendo comes in a really close second for me...but it\'s also considering Rare\'s games.  

Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Banjo, Perfect Dark, Eternal Darkness, Donkey Kong...classics and of the most quality.

My favorite developer is still pre-1998 Sierra. Back before the Oakhurst incident, and around the time Ken Williams was still in charge. Since that company is long dead, I\'ve been seekin out and playing games made by ex-Sierra designers and programmers. Most of em are retired now, but they\'re still my favorite.

Sega\'s next up in my fav list. Ginko\'s right.. I\'m dissapointed that they\'ve been turning out almost nothing but sequels and rehashes lately. Some updates to older franchises I don\'t mind.. since the generation gaps leave lots of room for not only grpahical, but game play innovations as well.. but come on, 3 Crazy Taxi\'s? PSO v.2? and not to mention all those streight (BARELY enhanced if at all) ports? Ecco, Seaman, Headhunter, Shenmue, Rez, SA2:B...  

They haven\'t made an entirely great impression going into it this generation. Tho I\'m sure they\'ll get back up on their feet soon. Least.. I hope so. I\'d hate for them to turn into another EA or Post 1998 Sierra. = /

Favorite developer? Well, for consoles.. easily Nintendo.

I\'d tend to agree that Sony is getting better.. but let\'s see if they can keep it up. I think they will.

Most from your list aren\'t out yet so I\'m not sure you can really talk about how good they are going to be.  It\'s all hype and means nothing.

Sega, Capcom and Nintendo are know quantities, and have been producing quality for sometime now.  There is no comparison.

Tom G - Yes, it is. I have it. Parts 1 and 2. Was designed by one of my favorite game makers actually. :)

GAMES - They\'re mostly famous for their Adventure games. King\'s Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, Quest for Glory. All of those series have anywhere from 5 to 8 sequels, cept for Police Quest which was transformed into the SWAT series. They also did Slipheed, LodeRunner, Gobliiins, A10 Tank Killer, Ect.

I\'m just guessing here, but I\'m assuming GAMES that you really havent played many Sega games?  Get a dreamcast and saturn and catch up with the times.

And yes im extremely happy with what \'Sony\' has put out as far as games go recently.  And their future releases have huge hype behind them and are sure to be.. at the very least average, at the most, brilliant.

You have also left out a lot of online titles Sony are working on (i.e. Twisted Metal Online, 969 Sports titles etc. etc.), and many unnanounced titles that are in the works.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Square are my favorite developers.  If only they released all their games down here

*makes puppy dog face until someone sends me their copies of Xenogears, Einhander, Final Fantasy Tactics and Chrono Cross*

I guess I could go looking for a Dreamcast because I have been hearing nothing but good things about it\'s games lately now that the system is dead, but I still don\'t know. As for Saturn, I haven\'t seen one of those in about 3 years, so there\'s no way I could play those games if I wanted to.

The reason I left out the online titles like TM and 989 sports titles is because I only listed games that I am looking forward. :D
