What's your favorite racing game developer? Mine's Criterion. The Burnout series has always been great, and 3 set a new precedent for destruction in racing games.
I agree. I know big companies tend to get a lot of flack but I can't help but enjoy it when they churn out a good product.As for who gets the crown of "best racing game developer" it's all boils down to tastes and preferences. Some of the best racing games I've ever played were made by Electronic Arts. While yes they haven't been doing that well lately, I still play some NFS games regularly so I'd say they [EA] are the best. At least to me they are.
Yeah it really isn't accurate to base opinions on professional critics because they often have biases and agendas just like most regular folks do but because they have a title the statements are enhanced.Critics will always look for all the bad stuff in a game and try to make it appear like a game is really terrible. While yes compared to other games made by the same developer or other developers it may not be that good, fact is there are people who'll love the game which means bad though it might be, since some people will like it, it is a good game anyway.
Some developers can make a good game once and get gone forever. Others make games regularly and if they make a bad game then the next time obviously they'll make a better game.
I like to read reviews that have a video as well. You know, so you can get insight on what the actual issues are instead of people mad at the game giving it 1 star ratings.I don't know . . . maybe saying some negative stuff about a game makes them think people will find their reviews objective. That's why I hardly ever read reviews preferring instead to get information about games from friends who've played a game.
Same here. I really wonder what happened with them as they just seemed to lose a bit of steam after the last game they made. I see they also released an app but I think I'd rather just have a modern version of their older games instead.Criterion for me as well, the Burnout series will always hold a special place in my list of the most enjoyable racing games. It's a shame that the series is no longer in development.

I agree they are very innovative with racing games and it's just a shame that they haven't made a new version of burnout in a while. Last I heard of them they released a mobile version of crash mode but it didn't seem that fun to me especially since it wasn't even free.I like Criterion for the same reason. I love Burnout. They make the Need For Speed games too I think. I like that they have a fun attitude towards game development. Last I heard they were trying to make a game about golf with explosives - one way to make a sport more exciting I guess. Should probably also mention Polyphony Digital too. I don't really follow a developer of racing games so much as I follow a franchise.
