Top Five Independent Developers

NowGamer: Fresh from its success with Halo: Reach, Bungie has recently begun work on its first game for new publisher Activision. Bobby Kotick – keen to big up his latest (possibly greatest) publishing deal – described Bungie as the 'last high quality' independent developer and – in the process – managed to insult just about every other 'high quality' independent developer out there. Oh dear. So here, Bobby, is our list of the best independent developers working today...

id Software should be in there. And what about Blizzard?

This list is wrong imo it should be

1,Insomniac - Great online and offline experiences

2,Epic Games - Great online just reliabitlity in gears hold it back problems but good offline

3,Bungie- GREAT/Superb Online, offline hmmm =/ not so good

4,Valve Corporation Great online, and Offline Bar L4D which wearnt made for offline but still its there they should try to do better

ID Software - Strong off and online expriences

Crytek should't be on there imo

[Feckles]

Insomniac is owned by Sony. But it is a great dev.

EDIT: My bad – I was thinking of Naughty Dog. Duh.

[Galaxia]

Insomniac is not owned by Sony.

But I agree, Insomniac is the best developer out their simply because they care so much for their fans.

Bungie - offline not so good?
You haven't played Halo I guess

BTW I WANTED TO DISGAREE NOT TO AGREE WITH YOU, SO DON'T THINK SOMEONE ACTUALLY AGREED WITH YOU

@AwesomeJizz course i've played halo combat evolved had a amazing single player the rest are type boring reach was an improvement on 2&3 and odst but it weant good 2bf with story wearnt half as interesting as games i've played ratchet and clank story are way more interesting
its ok if you dont agree with me we are allowed to have different in opinions :P

Edit:
I don't doubt its story is amazing, i watched something on halo way point that explained what had happend over halo 1,2 and 3 it was like wow and made me want to try and give halo story another go what i think is the problem is bungie need help telling the story imo there story telling is not up to scratch thats all

[AwesomeJizz]

@dangert12 You seem like a nice person I must say.
BUT YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BASH HALO'S STORYLINE!! IT'S AMAZING

id Software were aquired by ZeniMax (also own Bethesda) and Blizzard? Obviously part of Activision now.

[R_aVe_N]

Your right I totally forgot they are with ZeniMax.

[R_aVe_N]

I agree Bungie needs to work on their single player way to short and very unimpressive imo. But id should be on that list no matter what.

[darkcharizard]

imo

GSC Game World - they've had good strategy games and FPS games
