gamer.tv Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Miyamoto, Kojima, Yokoi and Mikami with Iwata's face carved into the moon for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Shiguru Miyamoto, John Carmack, Gunpei Yokoi, Satoru Iwata, and Dennis Dyack (because if it is like Mount Rushmore there should be a guy that doesn’t belong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameDadGrant Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Shiggy for sure. IGA is a shoe-in for me. Mikami deserves a spot for RE4 alone, IMO. Can't decide between Yokoi or Tezuka to join the ranks. Leaning towards Yokoi, though. Hideo Kojima is the wild card. Overall love his games, but man. Some of them just don't sit right with me. Even if they are critically acclaimed and have production values out the wazoo, and feature a level of polish and detail mostly unheard of in the industry. I'd also want a spot for Hiroshi Yamauchi, even though he was not a game creator himself. Gotta give the man credit for basically rebuilding the video game industry from the ashes, all those years ago. 3 hours ago, gamer.tv said: Iwata's face carved into the moon for good measure. Seconded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eventide11 Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 On second thought, Sakiguchi over Alcorn. Final Fantasy left a GIGANTIC impression on me after watching my older brother play through it those many moons ago. It's a shame that series has degraded so much without him. Been the source of many of my get off my lawn posts on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eventide11 Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Kojima would get his name engraved somewhere in an inconspicuous location for honorable mention. Metal Gear defined a genre but was a little pretentious in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 If I had to add more: David Crane, Ron Gilbert, Chris Williams, Richard Garriott, Roberta Williams, Hideo Kojima and Kazunori Yamauchi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokt Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Its really hard for me to nail down who exactly was the main driving force behind a ton of my favorite games/series. Its more of a studio thing rather than an individual. You definitely still have some developers today like Sakurai and Kojima, but for me to name a singular person for say Halo is a disservice to everyone that worked on it.

5timechamp Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Yokoi, Shiggy.... and someone to represent Red Storm circa ‘98-‘01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Just from my own personal taste: Shigeru Miyamoto, Hidetaka Miyazaki, Hironobu Sakaguchi, and Hideo Kojima. Shinji Mikami just missed the cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
