Simple as pie. If you could have any two game companys work on a game or "your game that you made up"what ones would they be.

Blizzard and Bioware.
My taste for Bioware games has been dwindling over the last few years, as the only game I've played and liked from them was Dragon Age (Mass Effect 1/2 were both meh), but those are the only two companies that I have any respect for at the moment.

Grrrrr.....Andrew_Waltfeld said:
I'd say the same thing, but for different reasons. Bioware focuses on a deep central story (ME1 and 2, Dragon Age, KotOR) while Bethesda focuses on millions of side quests (Fallout, Oblivion). I always wanted the side quests to not only carry over into the next game (Bioware) but have more depth. If Bioware helped Bethesda develop the side quests, main story, and connectivity of side quests, that would be a kickass game.
LucasArts (today's LucasArts, not with Tim Schafer) and GRIN. Just to see if it's possible to make a game so shitty that no one buys it.
TaleWorlds and The Creative Assembly. I envision a Mount&Blade with Total war style battles and commanding. Imagine, the thousand man battle isn't going in your favor so you charge in with your bodyguards and fight to turn the tide. The M&B combat engine is easily the best melee combat in any game. Imagine being a small part in a large army. Not Dynasty Warriors where 1 named fellow can mow down a thousand goons by himself. You make only a small impact, if any on the battle at hand. Despite your best efforts, the rest of the army begins to break. Do you fight and die with honor, or do you join your comrades in retreat, or do you try to rally the broken troops and regroup for a last stand? It could be well beyond great.
EDIT: I just remembered that TaleWorlds is working on a 2nd expanion to M&B called With Fire and Sword which, judging by the preview videos on their website, may be almost exactly what I am wanting. The videos show much larger scale fights with the soldiers in actual formations (cavalry forming a wedge formation for example).
EDIT 2: Why is everyone so obsessed with Bioware? I played Dragon Age and the ME2 demo. Both were quite bad. The combat in both was very craptacilur. In Dragon Age I tried being a dwarf noble and found out to beat the arena I just had to tap X 1 time and the game did everything else for me. The ME2 demo's shooting was very awful as well. Admittedly I didn't play much, but both had terrible first impressions which made me want to quit the game far more than I wanted to continue on. They are like Half-Life 2. Horrid first impression that made me want to quit immediatly rather than continue on.
Sorry for the rant, but I am just curious as to what makes their games so great.

Obsidian and Bohemia Interactive.
Yes, it would be buggy as all fuck but it would also be MINDBLOWINGLY AWESOME.

Visceral and Irrational.
The mind of Ken Levine and the no-limits-of-tastes minds of Visceral. Plus, Visceral does great jobs of providing a universe with each of their games. (Dead Space had a comic and a movie, Dante's Inferno had a movie)

Any two? Black Isle and Ion Storm (the good one). Both are defunct now though. How the hell Bioware is still around and Black Isle is gone is beyond me.
Only two? :| hmm..
Frictional and whoever made Fatal frame >.>
We would need many pairs of pants, gentlemen.

You mean Ion Storm Austin?mindlesspuppet said:
Oh, that's an easy one. Black Isle were part of InterPlay whereas Bioware sued InterPlay (for unauthorised sublicencing of Bioware's engine).
So it would basically be an RPG with a silent protagonist who would help his cousin commit crime, with awesome CGI animations and cliché-written dialouge?CrustyOatmeal said:

OT: I don't know, I guess Nintendo and Valve could produce a cool and mature Zelda game?
