Which is the best out there today ? For me it's blizzard, valve or rockstar , just for the simple fact that they don't Rush games so to speak, I feel like so many games companies out there today are more interested in releasing what feels more like expansion packs then new games, like call of duty every year and assassins creed .. Yet games like cs go and Starcraft 2 as an example are still going strong after being released years ago and are still being supported regularly with updates etc ...
 
Naughty dog would be up there for me, been playing their games since i was a kid and the later stuff has been great. Blizzard and valve for me too and have to agree with rockstar, only dud for them recently was l.a noire imo, but gta5 was soo techinically sound

Forgot about naughty dog, like you say the later stuff has been excellent , tlou is arguably the best game I've ever played..
 
Rockstar gets my vote too, just because they make the kind of games I really enjoy and manage to squeeze so much out of the hardware. I played GTAV on 360 and in my opinion at least, it wouldn't have looked out of place on the next-gen consoles, even if it looked how it did on the 360. Truly amazing.
 
Rockstar easily for me. Blizzard take too long and have under achieved recently. Valve...I'm not sure how anyone can praise a games company that have left their fans on a cliffhanger for 7 years and counting.
 
Blizzard for me hands down. Every time they release a game i know that if i buy this i won't feel the buyer's remorse ever. I really enjoy their games. I still play SC1 with my pals! Only MoP was too boring and i didn't upgrade. I like that they take their time to make the games although i could say they take too much time because their other division is spoiling us with yearly games (cod). Second best for me is Kojima Productions (Konami if you will) for the epic MGS experience which they have given us. It is a shame that they are focusing only on MGS and glad at the same time that Kojima just now is touching other franchises as well (PT :P). Come on though give us ZoE3 or where is the Snatcher sequel, that game was a wow experience story wise and gave life to my mega cd!
 
For sheer volume of quality over the years, Nintendo dwarf every other developer. It's not even slightly close. They may not be to everyone's taste, but in terms of quality and impact on how we play video games today, they're the daddy.

I do agree there , there wii u titles are some of the best !
 
Most of my favourite ones have ceased to exist - Dynamix were pretty good at one point with engaging with their community, Looking Glass were behind some of the best games of all time IMO. (Not so relevant to console stuff though).

There aren't many developers, publishers or producers I have much respect for these days too much focus on pumping out games without enough attention to low level detail and not giving enough leeway for people to push the boundaries with real passion.
