Most trustworthy game developer

[Souplex]

I would have to say Nintendo.

 

[JEBWrench]

Cyan. They even turned their MMO over to the open source crowd since they couldn't afford to keep it going.

 

[rockingnic]

Square Enix, Bungie, Bioware and Valve. All of those are pretty obvious why, they make great games and listen to what their fans want. I would say Blizzard but it seems like it's taking them forever to release a game. Sure, you want perfection but it shouldn't take 5+ years to do so.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I'm going with Treasure.

They even make kick-ass licensed games.

They made one of the best games ever (not just of licensed games, but in all of Gaming) out of Astro Boy...

Astro Boy: Omega Factor

They made a kick-ass game out of Bleach...

Bleach: The Blade of Fate

And the amazing pedigree goes on...

Sin and Punishment, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Gunstar Heroes, Guardian Heroes, and Bangai-O Spirits, Wario World...

Always intense, always fun, always fantastic.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Bungie, Valve, Nintendo, Bioware, and a few others, but those four are particularly great.

Bioware. It used to be valve but lately I can't say i have been too impressed with what they have been putting out. I had high hopes for L4D2 but it really kinda disappointed me.

Ikaruga

I'm rather surprised you pointed out Ikaruga with your disliking of Shmups/bullet hell.

Plus, you forgot Dynamite Heady, one of the greatest, if not, the greatest Genesis game ever made. I also played Mischief Makers, which would have been more fun if they didn't make it balls to the wall hard to get the full ending and is at times confusing as hell.

I don't hate the genre. I just suck at it. And sucking leads to frustration, which leads to anger.

Still, I have fun beating Stage 1 over and over and over. And infinite continues help, too.

 

[LCP]

valve to me wins in all categories

 

[Flamezdudes]

Bioware definatly.

 

[Cpu46]

Like most people have already said; Bungie, Bioware, Bethesda

They should team up and make a company called B Cubed then make an epic game that will make peoples eyes explode and brains hemorage from the awesomeness.

 

[Simalacrum]

Depends on what you mean by trustworthy... as in, "we'll actually ship games on the deadline" or "we'll always make great games", or "we'll never do anything that'll upset the fans"? Cause 'trustworthy' can come in all sorts of different forms, and no developer I know of can to all 3 mentioned.

Torn between Bungie, Valve and Bioware

 

[Ken_J]

Bethesda, Valve and Insomniac are my favorites.

 

[JEBWrench]

Valve.

Bioware.

Neither has managed to make a bad game in their existence and it looks like the good games are going to keep coming as well.

Sonic Chronicles is hard pressed to be called "good".

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

Bioware.

I mean, they put in a Tali romance just for the fans. I personally hate her, but that's fucking awesome. And Blasto. Oh god, Blasto.

Not a single Bioware game has ever disappointed me. I worship those people. And they are announcing a new title. Ain't no rest for the wicked I guess.

Now that's a company that pays attention to it's fans. And that is why I'll always buy their games.
