1. Naughty Dog
Last Gen:
Uncharted 2 is arguably the best game in the history of the PlayStation 3. Naughty Dog did an impressive job in getting this masterpiece together. Uncharted is a ground-breaking franchise and has redefined the TPS genre and gaming in general. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves equally bagged countless awards and remains the 2nd highest rated game of the PlayStation 3.
The graphics, visuals and story of Uncharted 1, 2 and 3 was top-notch. The game itself put a lot of blockbuster Hollywood film to shame. The combat system, AI, unbelievable cover-system is superior to every other game that hit store-shelves last-gen.
These and many more wouldn’t be possible without the creativity of the guys at Naughty Dog. The zeal and desire to put in extra effort in delivering outstanding games while others rip the wallet of innocent gamers with yearly sequel of the same old sh*t is commendable. Uncharted is everything, it is the best game of last-gen gaming.
This Gen:
Naughty Dog didn’t fail. Uncharted 4 destroys everything on the PS4. Word’s can’t explain it, but it looks like it’s the last Uncharted game we will see on the PlayStation.
Conclusion
So much has been said about these outstanding developers and their ground-breaking games. For me, they represent the propelling force of the gaming industry; they have kept the industry in form and ended every chance of mockery by non-gamers. These games have snatched the attention of Hollywood bigwigs like Steven Spielberg, and have equally changed their orientation about gaming.

great list….although i’d probably replace polyphony or ea canada with Irrational, because when you are talking about pushing the envelope, newer & better soccer sims and racing games aren’t necessarily groundbreaking, and haven’t seen more than minor upgrades over the years, whereas Irrational put out two of the best and most imaginative titles of this generation in bioshock & infinite…for world building alone they should come before the other two companies

You forget Gran Turismo 6. It almost pushed full 1080p running at 1440×1080. It had day to night transitions and shadows/lighting and also dynamic real time weather that can randomly occur (things that the Forza series still can’t do this day even on current gen).
So many more games too like God of War 3, Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time (60fps that Insomniac Games stopped targeting because nobody praised them for it at the time) and Killzone 2 (and then 3 obviously, I mention the 2nd one as even that one has never been outdone by anything in Xbox 360’s lifetime since so the 3rd one obviously widens that gap even more enhanced further by 3D and Move support).
