valve is pretty trustworthy but my answer would have to be atlus. they are the only one company where i can look at a game ive never heard of before and go, "well its made by atlus, so its probably pretty damn good"

So, I'm pretty sure most people here have a few, or one dev that they can always count on to make quality products. I'm pretty most people here will say Valve, or Bioware pre-DA2.
For me, it's Rockstar, I mean, GTA Series, LA Noire, Max Payne, LEMMINGS! I don't think I've played a ROckstar game I didn't like, I mean, they even made a badass table tennis game!
I can ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS count on Platinum Studios and CAPCOM.

They've only let me down once and that was with Devil May Cry 2 which I doubt exists. It's only a rumor. We all know it was just Devil May Cry 1, 3 and 4 right?....right?. RIGHT!?!

VALVe is the only company with no strikes for me anymore. HL2ep3 isn't a strike, it's them not stepping up to the plate.
Bioware was until Dragon Age 2. They're still good by me, but this thread was about flawless developers. Everyone makes mistakes.

Valve and Bioware. Admittedly I haven't played either of the L4D series of games but I'm sure they're good for people with friends.

I haven't played a single bad Bioware game, but again, I haven't played all off them. However I can safely say that I adore all games in both Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchises. Yes, I said all. ALL! ALL!!!

I'd have to say Bethesda for this. This is a company that really does not know how to make an RPG that sucks.

From Software.

Even the crap they develop is awesome in some way.
You, my new friend (with an awesome avatar from AC4), are correct. Chromehounds was a horde of fun, and was genuinely saddened when the multiplayer was shut down. Considering I generally despise online multiplayer for most games, that's saying quite a bit.

DICE, probably the only FPS developer that cares about it's players anymore, they always listen to the critcism (which isn't a lot btw) and their games are just phenominal to play.

People say Bungie are the same, but they ruined Halo for me with Reach so DICE is left standing.
VALVe doesn't care about their players any more? I would like to see some evidence for this.

Atlus has never failed to deliver for me. The Persona series, Odin Sphere, and now Catherine is coming out... they get under my skin and give me some amazing things.

To clarify, LA Noire was developed by Team Bondi and Max Payne 1 & 2 by Remedy Entertainment, not Rockstar. RS are only the publisher.

Can I name more than one?

Bioware - even including DA2, they have a brilliant record.
Bethesda dev team - not always so big on the games that Bethesda publishes, but I've not once been let down by a game ever produced by Bethesda.
Valve - I'm not a massive, diehard Valve fan, but their games are always interesting, and, so far as I know, they've never made a bad one. Besides, Portal 2's co-op was good enough to keep me playing until four in the morning, and that's got to count for quite a bit. :p

/edit
Oh, forgot about Blizzard; those guys are awesome!

The three Bs of RPGs: Blizzard, Bethesda and Bioware. I love them all. :D

Oh, I forgot about that, so I guess GTA, but most importantly, lemmings!

I'd say Valve, considering their worst game is counter-strike and even then it's still great.
Egosoft have yet to let me down with their X series of space sims.
And I suppose bethesda to an extent, they have yet to hit gold but they've always been consistent

I can always count on Blizzard for releasing high quality games.

I would count on Valve too but dude, wheres my episode 3?

Too bad there's no Black Isle Studios anymore... oh well at least there's BioWare corp, Bethesda, and Rockstar.

Shame on Firaxis.

VALVe, Bethesda, and Relic. THQ maybe.
They brought us the Orange Box, the Oblivion and Fallout series, and the Warhammer game series!

I would say Valve but I hate some of the things about the Man Co store... well let's just say crates. Honestly, fuck crates.

"Here, have this marvellous gift, it could be anything! Anything at all! Magical things! Things that will make you a God among mortals! All you need to do is buy a key! A key to make your dreams come true!"

I resist and resist, I amass over 20 crates and then...

"Okay fine, I'll buy one key. This better be good"

I carefully select the box.

"Unboxing...5... 4... 3..."

"The excitement!"

"... 2... 1..."

"!!!"

"Congratulations, it's another fucking thing you have a billion of! A thing we actually sell for less than the price of a key!"


And before anyone point it out, yeah I realise you don't have to buy anything but you're learly being encouraged to.

Naughty Dog
Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter and Uncharted, I just wish they would make another Jak game.

Insomniac Games
Spyro, Ratchet and Clank and Resistance, and unlike Naughty Dog they're still making Ratchet and Clank games.

Pandemic Studios
Mercenaries: POD, Destroy All Humans!, Battlefront....why oh why did EA close them down!?


Obsidian Entertainment
They're currently the only developer capable of making a good Fallout game.

Relic
Keep making 40K games, I really hope Space Marine is good though.
