[General Discussion] Top Developers

Although they've only really released one game, Kaos Studios' support of Frontlines after it was released was far beyond the call of duty (Pun semi-intended). One of the head developers was a fairly regular poster on the Gamefaqs message boards as well as their own forum and players' comments were actually taken to heart and a string of patches addressed bugs and balance issues remarkably quickly.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Codemasters games are always solid (Except that football management game they did but a guy who worked on that assured me that wasn't their fault). Polyphony are certainly masters of the timetrial game but have never really made anything you could call a racing game per se. Criterion doesn't really exist anymore since they were sold to EA and taken in-house. The Directors did start a new studio but I can't remember what it's called off the top of my head. That's not to say you won't see any decent Criterion games again, although my dissapointment with Burnout Paradise is no secret.

Although they're not around anymore, Bitmap Brothers never made a bad game and the Acorn games made by 4th Dimension were all spectacularly good and in many cases, years ahead of their time. But for the hilariously small user-base killing the platform, they might have made a fucking fortune.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
