Next-Gen.biz: The Hot 100 Game Developers of 2007 Posted by XanTium | March 6 00:01 EST | News Category: GamingGeneral

From next-gen.biz: [QUOTE] Next Generation is proud to present this year's Hot 100 Game Developers, ordered by the impact these extraordinary people are having on the 2007 game industry. We selected the Hot 100 based primarily on their studio's market success in 2006 and potential market success in 2007. We also gave weight to what we felt were influential or innovative creative contributions to the medium during the last year. These may seem like strong scientific criteria on which to base such a list, but in reality compiling it was a gut-wrenching process. We know that, with the exception of the person in the number one spot, it feels like everyone should be higher on this list. TOP10: 10 Ted Price - President and CEO, Insomniac Games 09 Greg LoPiccolo - VP of Product Development, Harmonix (MTV) 08 Dan Houser - Vice President of Creative, Rockstar (Take Two) 07 Tetsuya Nomura - Producer, Square Enix 06 Eiji Aonuma - Designer, Nintendo EAD 05 Michael Morhaime and Chris Metzen - President and Vice President of Creative Development Respectively, Blizzard (Vivendi) 04 Jason Jones - Director/Co-Founder, Bungie (Microsoft) 03 Shigeru Miyamoto - Senior Managing Director and General Manager, Nintendo 02 Will Wright - Chief Designer, Maxis (EA) 01 Cliff Bleszinski - Lead Designer, Epic Games [/QUOTE] Full Story: next-gen.biz (11 pages)
