For me, it's a tie between Miyazaki and Kamiya.
Miyazaki
>Gave up his well paying job to pursue his dream of making games
>Basically saved Demon's Souls from being a shitty TES clone and instead made it something fresh and unique
>Expanded the DeS template to make a series of games that were each very well received (fuck the niche of DS2 haters)
>Is now the president of his studio and is probably the sole reason why FROM has gotten any sort of recognition
>Is extremely humble and passionate, preferring to let the games speak for his skills rather than the other way around
He's just overall very inspirational. Probably one of my biggest influences in gamedev.
As for Kamiya
>Extremely passionate about video games
>Is not afraid to speak his opinion
>Super confident in his games and abilities
He's just awesome.
Kojima is close, but I feel he focuses too much on some needless details and making games too much like movies or TV. He's not bad in any sense though.
>>336483147
slit your throat, cocksucker
It's Miyazaki. DaS3 and BB are the highlights of this gen.
>>336483147
did you know that the western/fantasy themed ARPG was first made by nips in 1984 with a game called dragon slayer? elder scrolls and witcher are basically weeb games
Depends on who hasn't become a hack yet. Kojima and Nomura are both hacks and Kamiya is on his way to hackitude. I would say Sakurai is a hack for what eh did to Brawl but fuck me Uprising is a perfect game.
>>336483197
>is probably the sole reason why FROM has gotten any sort of recognition
Fucking normies, man.
You forgot the part where he killed From's longest running and critically acclaimed series along the way. The pre-Miyazaki AC titles were easily the best console robot games available, and he brought an end to all that.
But hey, he made a half-decent series by balancing the combat in a title that was already almost feature-complete, and then rehashed 3 times, so now he's an "inspiration".
Then you go on to talk about how Kamiya is great because he shitposts on Twitter, and you think Kojima is even worth mentioning despite him blatantly being the Eastern David Cage.
Hashino, Miyazaki, Suda, NomuraI'd say Kojima but I'm still mad

FROM did make great games, but they weren't a household name until Dark Souls. They were super niche until then.

>>336484595
>great gameplay
Nope. They're fun, sure, but the gameplay is clearly never the focus, which is why it remained almost unchanged since the first game, where it was probably created by some underpaid team at Konami. Kojima fancies himself a writer, not a gameplay designer, which would be fine if the guy had any fucking clue how to write.
>>336479703

>>336484758
Taro only has made decent game and an alright game (NEIR and Drakengard 3). The other 2 Drakengard games were shit and unplayable.
Compared to developers from Square Enxi like Motomu Toriyama, it's not a strong track record. FF10 and FF13 were decent, FF13-2 and FF10-2 were mediocre and LR was passable/okay.
>>336484294
Miyamoto (and Platinum's incompetence) is pretty much the sole reason why the new StarFox is so terrible.
Instead of sticking to an established formula and expanding upon it (which is what all of the fans wanted), we got gimmicky motion and second screen controls that are tempermental as fuck because of Miyamoto's desire to make something new.
Miyamoto is washed up now. He's a great man who's made great games, but he's also responsible for ruining some of his own series of games (thanks StarFox Adventures and now Zero), and essentially killing others (goodbye F-Zero). He's really only good at making Mario games, which ironically enough, all used the same established formulas over and over again ad-nauseum.

Miyazaki is not a big name game director
He doesn't belong on that list

>Miyazaki is not a big name game director
>Soulsfags still in denial of the fact that their game is mainstream
He's bigger and more relevant than the majority of that list right now.
>>336484998
One was around a fucking decade before he joined the company, which he was then put in charge of. His game, AC4, is widely considered to be the absolute worst in the franchise by a large margin. The other game was mostly complete before Miyazaki was brought on board, and his contribution is unlikely to ever be fully evident.
>>336484998
I don't know who created Demon Souls but it was in development before Miyazaki became involved.
And Miyazaki had absolutely nothing to do with the first Armored Core game.
>>336485021
I adore Drakengard 1, and I agree that it's shit.
Drakengard 2 was abysmal garbage, but Taro had little to do with it.
NIER was pretty good and Drakengard 3's problems were its shitty shitty holy shit who programed this (?) framerate.

Nigga, do you know how many copies the Souls series has sold overall? Shit is practically mainstream now.
Hell, DS1 sold so many copies during its original release period that it almost saved Bamco from going bankrupt just by itself.
besides KG Inafune, Japanese developers tend to be the more honest regardless of whether you agree with them or not. They will do what they want to do.

>>336485398
A fantastic composer who makes simplistic, average games with cute girls for fapbait.
He's not really a game creator. He's never innovated in the field.
Honestly, Itsuno might be one of my favourites. DMC3, 4 and DD. I like most of them though. I used to really like Sakurai but I think he either got lucky or lost his touch as Brawl and Sm4sh are weird as shit. He keeps throwing in random stuff nobody wants.

Has Toby Fox made a SERIES of games like Miyazaki has?
When he does, then yes. Toby Fox will be a big name indie dev.
Miyazaki is big because the Dark Souls series is big. Trying to pretend otherwise is just silly.
He's not as big as Kojima for obvious reasons, but I'd argue he's probably more well known now than Kamiya is.
>>336479703
People started to hate Miyamoto since Color Splash because they are misinformed sheep who follow trends

>>336486015
Dark Souls 1 has sold more copies overall than most Platinum games combined.
He's pretty fucking big. The only reason why he doesn't seem as big as Kamiya is because he doesn't have a fucking loud mouth like Kamiya.
>>336486075
>Has Toby Fox made a SERIES of games like Miyazaki has
Miyazaki didn't create the Souls series.
>Miyazaki is big because the Dark Souls series is big.
Miyazaki didn't create the Souls series.
>He's not as big as Kojima for obvious reasons, but I'd argue he's probably more well known now than Kamiya is.
I suppose the first is true, but people know Kamiya from twitter and I doubt many people outside of Dark Souls fans know who Miyazaki actually is.
>>336484510
Dude, he also directed
>Fucking Donkey Kong (any game that has a documentary made out of its competitive community is a classic)
>SMB3
>The original LoZ
>Super Mario 64 (he invented QPUs)
>Ocarina of Time
Those are stand-out games. They're all often put way up in top vidya lists of all time. And he DIRECTED all of those. He didn't direct Sticker Star. He didn't direct SF0. Even if he had input on those games, it's the director's responsibility to either make those ideas fun or prove they're not good and discard them.
>>336486015
Suda, Itsuno and Kamiya have never made a game that sold as much as Dark Souls. They are great directors but you're sorely misguided if you don't think Dark Souls is a huge success.

Since we're talking about directors, what happened to western directors? It's like they all vanished overnight.
>>336486149

>>336486149
Sagaguchi hasn't really made much. Last 'big' game he made was The Last Story. He really needs to
Motumo Toriyama should be higher like Average+ given how his games keep the series relevant and how people wanted more from said game.
Hajime Tabata should NOT be that high. He made the decent Crisis Core, Alright Type-0 and the shit The 3rd Birthday. And we don't know the quality of Final Fantasy XV.
>>336486285
>Miyazaki didn't create the Souls series
>He was lead director on every Souls game besides DS2

Except he did. There would be no Demon's Souls without him. Maybe, just maybe there would have been some other action RPG in its place, but it wouldn't be Demon's Souls.
>>336486426
Actually, Miyazaki already said that if you want a new Armored Core game you'll have to ask Bandai Namco...
Because they own that now.
>>336486501
>He was responsible for how the games played
No he wasn't, the game was already in development.
>>336486552
>Except he did. There would be no Demon's Souls without him.
Demon Souls was already in development.
Fuck, its almost as if you people don't know what your talking about but what are the odds of that happening here.

>>336486149
I'd put IGA and Itagaki in average
>>336486646
>Demon Souls was already in development.
No, a game that became Demon's Souls after Miyazaki got involved was in development. A game that might have never even come out.
>>336479703
I feel like Kamiya might be the objectively superior dev, even though I don't care for the games he's made, save for Okami (Which I didn't know about until now lol, and Viewtiful Joe if he made that) because his games are innovative in the genres he makes them for, but he seems like a bitch IRL but that's besides the point.
I'm super biased towards Kojima because I'm a big MGS fan and a fan of him in general because he's so lovable.
Super personally though, I'd probably say Sakurai because of Kirby and Melee alone.
That said, I like all of these developers even though I haven't played all of the games on this list. Some of them just obviously are good at making good and cool stuff.Best unlisted dev is Amaya/Pixel

>>336486748
I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were a part of the development team for Demon Souls.
At what point during development did Miyazaki come on again?
>>336486646
Yes, and then he refocused the development of DeS to be more like how the Souls games are today, rather than the shitty TES clone it was originally supposed to be.
He's the reason why the Souls games play the way they do. In that sense, he essentially created the Souls formula, and thus created the Souls series from said formula.

GG and BB are great but come on, he can only make one genre. No, not even one genre, he can only make 2D anime street-fighter likes, which is more of a sub sub genre if not a single game with a few modifications

Babby's first 3D title, and it's a stinker. A completely flawed camera and multiple shitty stages make the game a chore to play. Loved by kids whose parents didn't love them enough to buy a Playstation, because they just didn't know any better.
>>Ocarina of Time
Eh, I'll give you that one.
The main issue is that his actual input on a lot of these games is very wishy-washy. Shit like "oh, I told the team to come up with something exciting" doesn't make him a good creator. And the higher he went in the company, the worse the games got. He's given far too much credit while not actually ever talking about the things he actually did while working on a lot of these games.
Miyazaki has made the two best games this gen (BB/DaS3) so he's king of the hill as of now.
Bloodborne is pretty much art desu.

>>336486851
Well, the name Demon's Souls, and a game that supposedly played like a shittier version of TES Oblivion.
While he technically didn't create the name/IP, he did reshape how the game played and essentially was responsible for the final product. He was also lead director of the Dark Souls series (which doesn't include DeS or BB) on both DS1 and DS3, so he is responsible for creating the Souls series.
I really don't know why this guy in insisting otherwise.
>>336486996
So? We're discussing quality, not variety. He also worked on Overture and Hard Corps Uprising
>>336486942
Dude, Motomu Toriyama's number title games keep the series relevant. Plus people actually ASK for the subseries (FF10-2, FF13-2, and therefore LR).
That's something that Matsuno can't do. At least Sagaguchi has the excuse of 'I'm in a lower budget studio'. Matsuno doesn't have jack shit to excuse himself.
He's a lackluster/irrelevant developer. This is the reason why Toriyama is part of the Final Fantasy quality control and Matsuno left after his mental breakdown.

>>336487382
But, DeS didn't even play like DeS until Miyazaki got on board.
He didn't create the series from its inception, but he did dictate how it would play and basically saved it from being an absolute failure.
As such, he essentially created the Souls formula, and created the Souls series.
I don't understand why you have to hate on Miyazaki so much. Did you want DeS to be a generic and shitty TES clone?

The gameplay for DeS is just an adaptation of the control scheme for Kuon, which Miyazaki had nothing to do with.

No he didn't. The gameplay elements already existed in prior Fromsoft games.

That's a really dumb excuse because it's a new model of a King's Field enemy, not literally the same model from King's Field IV.
>>336479703
My favorite genre is Fantasy RPG and I prefer ARPG over tactical, so Demon/Dark Souls and Dragons Dogma is my choice, ultimately Miyazaki though. Nier has potential in the future.
Regarding who is the best dev on paper,
Miyazaki, Kojima, Hashino, Itsuno and Nomura are all creators of something extremely unique and awesome. However Nomura has the best legacy thus far. He is the only one with two really respected franchises. If Miyazaki can continue making amazing games and not just SoulsXXVI, he will become the greatest. Kojima is dying as fast as Snake and if there is anyone else who seems to be making great games these days it is Kamiya who is relatively young. In his case, because he tend to abandon franchises, he needs to keep delivering with the various games he makes. If he can keep pulling out shit like Bayonetta with additions to his signature gameplay for the next decade, he will be huge.
>>336487910
smg 2, which was based off of koizumi's idea and basic design you nigger. He didnt fuck that up at least but dont pretend like hes responsible for the series.
>>336479703
Kamiya
The dude who made DMC3/4
Itagaki before he left Team Ninja
Daisuke the GG head dev
Mikami before he became a shmuck good for one solid game every two decades
Honestly probably Daisuke or Itsuno for me and i prefer Ninja Gaiden Black/2 to any other action games. Itagaki just doesn't have the overall track record Itsuno does and GG is my favorite fighter series of all time.
All the people on that list are great though. Also you forgot to mention Shadows of the Damned for Suda which is a rushed by fucking beautiful gem his best work imo.

Came here to mention him. He's one of the unsung heroes of Nintendo. Everything he's directed has been pure gold, he's responsible for the scenarios of Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask (the two Zelda games most praised for story) and he was handpicked by Miyamoto himself to take over the 3D Mario games.
I think the big four right now would be Koizumi, Kojima, Ueda and Kamiya. They're all pretty much at the end of their careers, though.
I really want to see who's going to succeed them, especially with Mario.
>>336488019
that's true for all business, everywhere
>>336487721
but why demon's is the only one qith kings field enemies?. none of the other spiritual succesors have it
>>336488064
>That's a really dumb excuse because it's a new model of a King's Field enemy, not literally the same model from King's Field IV.
Then they aren't King's Field assets, which is what YOU called them, you stupid fuck.
>>336486295
>Suda, Itsuno and Kamiya have never made a game that sold as much as Dark Souls
>Kamiya
Resident Evil 2 sold 5 million copies
>Itsuno
Devil May Cry sold 3 million copies
Suda's games were always niche
Both vanilla Dark Souls 1 and the Prepare to Die edition only sold around 2 million copies and they only add up to 4-5 if you count both versions of the game as the same thing
>>336487094
Don't work DMC5 is right over the hill Itsuno will reclaim it. And if the Nioh full game is anything like the Alpha but better whoever is heading that will claim a spot above Miya as well.
DaS3/BB are some of my top 5 games of this gen but i really hope they don't remain that way. Maybe the DLC of BB but otherwise i hope not they're good but nothing in the grand scheme of games we've gotten before.

>but why demon's is the only one qith kings field enemies?
slimes are in king's field and slimes are in all the dark souls games
skeletons are in king's field and skeletons are in all the dark souls games
dragons are in king's field and dragons are in all the dark souls games
seath is from king's field and seath is in dark souls
>>336488180
Dear god you're a fucking idiot. I'm not even him but you have to be literally braindead to not understand what he meant. It's the exact same enemy that's seen in King's Field IV, except with an HD model to fit the rest of the game.
>>336479801
Idk a lot about him as a creator, but I will say Mega Man and Dead Rising are probably some of my favorite IPs of all time.
>>336488180
so you didn't know what you were talking about?
>>336488094
Actually Hayashida directed 2. Either way, my point stands. The problem is he's in management now. He has not DIRECTED a single bad game in his entire career, and he's been making games since the 80s if not the 70s. That's a feat no developer in OP can boast.
>>336488146
Dark Souls 1 and 3 have snake men enemies similar to the King's Field IV ones
>>336488372
No, you didn't. That's why you called them assets, like a fucking idiot.

>>336488240
DMC4 also solid around 2.3 million copies not counting SE copies.
If anything RE2 selling 5 million copies is the equal to GTA sales of its time. The population of people playing games back then weren't even 1/10th of what it is today. 5 million back then is easily atleast 1/2-1/3 people who played games in the USA atleast.
>>336488138
Don't forget sakurai. They're all around the same age (~45) except kojima, so i think at LEAST another decade of prime age potential. At least those 5 seem really with it in terms of keeping up with the industry.
>>336488240
Alright so DaS sold as much as RE2. That makes it a tie. I don't understand how this is more wrong than your first post claiming completely elsewise. Dark Souls is big. It's probably as big as a Japanese game can get these days. DaS3 is selling much faster than DaS and could very well end in the 6-7 million region at this pace.
>>336481751
Kojima and Kamiya will forever be the apex adorable jap dev power couple.
Imagine the two of them having a night in trying to pick a movie to watch. Kamiya wants to watch something flashy with foxy babes, Kojima wants to watch something with impressive visuals and character drama. What do they settle on?yes I ship kojima and kamiya what of it
>>336488464
>Cried tears of joy when /v/ sent him a card
I missed that. Got any more you can tell me?
>>336483197
You need to read up on Kamiya's past, that nigger loves video games. He got a job as a kid so he could afford all the platforms.
>>336488002
>The gameplay for DeS is just an adaptation of the control scheme for Kuon
What the fuck? How?
>>336488803
Have you played Kuon? The HUD is practically identical to the Souls games.
>>336488495
They watch Sucker Punch
>>336479703
Kojima, hands down.
Dude knows how to make solid game.

You do know Kamiya was a CAPCOM employee and made several successful franchises there?
>>336488884
Yes I have, it isn't and even if it was that's hardly what I would call "an adaptation of the control scheme"

OP did say devs who are sitll making games. A few of those aren't making games anymore or making irrelevant ones.
>>336489295
all shit
>>336488490
this anon said it best >>336488465
Also Miyazaki is not as influential as Kamiya Kojima Mikami. You're comparing game industry legends who created entire genres to a young upcoming game designer who had a few good hits.
>>336488458
yeah but you just followed around without knowing anything also >>336488351
>>336488490
Is this actually a sales battle?
Then Sakurai wins followed by Nomura and Kojima
>>336489295
Itagaki is the saddest case of them all. It took so much for him just to get Devils Third out a game that went against alot of his solid beliefs like having good fps and strong AI.
Itagaki with a budget is hands down the best action game dev. NG2 was rushed to shit and still a great game. Its sad we never got a true NG2B
>>336483869
Kojima is great at times but has too much movie in him.
>>336486015
Big M is above all those, sadly.
Or more accurate is that they went to shit.
>>336489618
It's most definitely not a sales battle. But a guy did imply Dark Souls was niche compared to some other Japanese games.
>>336489442
Well that's because those devs were active during the Golden Age of the Japanese console industry and also a time where publishers allowed experimentation. Look, I'm not saying that those guys are bad. I was merely pointing out that in no way or form is Dark Souls niche. In fact, it's probably the biggest hit a Japanese publisher has had in a new IP in ages. Miyazaki clearly possess a talent to create games that hold a unique appeal.
>>336489749
Kojima gets a few bonus points for trying to let movies inform and inspire his game development rather than just trying to emulate movies like David Cage does. Probably the one thing he got right with MGSV was retaining a cinematic feeling throughout the gameplay without filling the game with non-interactive cutscenes.
He wants video games to be their own medium instead of trying to hold them to another medium's standards. He seems to want to make video games that have a movie-like feeling to them without just being movies, kind of like how Gravity Rush was a game that felt like a comic book without straight-up just being one.
>>336479703
Sakurai
I haven't been disappointed by any game he has made yet, meteos and KI:U were very fun, looking forward to his latest project.
>>336490519
The whole "Kojima makes movies" line is an asspull by people who never learned to play MGS properly.
Come back and say that after you properly learn the depth and scope of the MGS3 control scheme. KojiPro clearly care about the gameplay. Even MGSV is one of the few open-world games with gameplay that isn't ass cancer. In fact, I'd say that gameplay is what saves MGSV. It sure as fuck isn't the story, even if some cutscenes have good direction.

Not much of his stuff got translated, so anon you responded to must speak/read Japanese.

Dunno if he's still working though.

Itsuno just creates mindless button mashers with no depth to them that only babbies can enjoy and I know this since I've put in over 300 hours into DMC4 just so I can say he is a terrible developer who doesn't deserve an ounce of praise and the fact that you even CONSIDERED putting him in the same list as Kamiya is both an insult of the HIGHEST order and a sign of shit taste.
>>336497389
Itsuno has made the two best character action games of all time. 300 hours is nothing. I doubt you know DMC4 Dante well enough.
>>336498386
Don't answer to bait
He didn't give an argument to the "mindless button mashers" part
