What were/are for your the best developping team ? (Id software, Gt interactive, Activision, Bullfrog...) And why ? (Games, Innovation, Technologies, Fun...)

these are some of my favorites

namco-because they made some of my favorite game. tekken series, dead end to rights...

activision-tony hawk series,spiderman...

rockstar games-gta 3,gta vc, state of emergency

techmo-doa series

sega-vf4 series

Personally, Quest, makers of Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, and Final Fantasy Tactics (Well, partially- the team that made FFT was hired out of Quest) has a special place in my heart.

i''d have to say insomniac games (spyro series). reason is that way back, when they where still working on spyro 1 for the playstation, i sent them an email with a bunch of questions about their team. well a few days later i got a one page and a half reply and couldnt beleive it. of course that was back then and i''m suer they are way to busy now, hehehe

please don´t confuse publishers and developers.

Blizzard
Monolith
Bioware

Do you really need to ask why?

Seriously. For example, Activision did not develop "Tony Hawk" or "Spiderman." The original of both games was done by Neversoft, later "Tony Hawk" games were farmed out to various developers while the most recent "Spiderman" game (based on the movie) was developed by Treyarch.

Blizzard and Squaresoft. Blizzard is obvious, and Square has either made or published RPGs that are too good to pass up. (FF series, SaGa series, etc.)

I don''t remember if Microprose was a developer or publisher (or both!), but they put out some incredible games.

for me i c the best temas as follows
Namco: there fighting games and games in general r very well balanced
Konami: Again they have some great legends in gaming
Sega: didnt make it as a hardware vendor but doing great in the software market
Blizzard: Just as good a company can gets few titles but they r all good
Id : First Person legends
Sierra: got some really good Adventure games
LucsArts: again a real good company with lots of titles on many platforms
thats it for now >
