Well Ganker, other boards came to the consensus on who the most influential and greatest contemporary artist in their respective mediums. So now I ask, who is the vidya developer that sits among them?
 It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
 Nothing Ever Happens Shirt $21.68 |
It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
Shigeru Miyamoto surely? Zelda and Mario are too very influential games. Shinji Mikami possibly with how much of a massive influence Resident Evil 4 had on third person shooters and whatnot. I dunno.
Kojima and it's not even close.
So, hacks that did something relevant once and then lot of people kept saying you need high IQ to understand their stuff?
Kojima, I guess.
That only applies to DFW
You must not be familiar with the works of david lynch
Never listened to Big Black, huh?
>David Foster Wallace

McCarthy is the greatest living author followed by Pynchon. Scorcese did a bunch of trash.
Influential? John Carmack. His engine is still used to this day in some form or shape
>other boards
speaking of, what the actual frick is wrong with /ERA/
it's lucas pope but pseuds will say LA CREATIVDAD
>lucas pope
actual good answer
>lucas pope
The game awards are just a long advertisement, frick you
heh
Who the frick are all these people
As a senior game design student about to graduate, I can say that without a doubt the answer is Jonathan Blow.
his games are cool but he has an ego that I would not expect of such an autistic man
Then you haven't spoken with many turbo autists
As someone who rubs shoulders with more elite gaming circles I wholeheartedly agree.
>Lynch instead Griffith or Welles
>irrelevant modern author instead of actual import one like Vergil or Goethe
>Albini instead of a classical composer
Embarrassing
the whole point is that they're contemporary

Meanwhile in reality
>Jackson is certified and known as the most awarded and nominated recording artist in the history of popular music.[2] Michael Jackson is considered to be the greatest entertainer of all time and the most influential artist of the 20th century (1901-2001). He is the biggest selling artist of all time with worldwide sales of over 100 million for Thriller and 1 billion overall [RIAA] nearly topping the Beatles (600 Million) & Elvis (500 Million) combined. He is considered the greatest artist of the last 1000 years and is the only artist to hold the millennium award
>Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist.[2][3][4] He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard").[5][b] His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays,[c] 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.[7] He remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language
>Chaplin is described as "arguably the single most important artist produced by the cinema, certainly its most extraordinary performer and probably still its most universal icon".[435] He is described by the British Film Institute as "a towering figure in world culture", As a filmmaker, Chaplin is considered a pioneer and one of the most influential figures of the early twentieth century.[444] He is often credited as one of the medium's first artists. He was the first to popularise feature-length comedy and to slow down the pace of action, adding pathos and subtlety to it
>contemporary
>the greatest artist of the last 1000 years
>mediocre Black person pop
Being a contrarian will get you nowhere
it will get you much further than being an npc
>Miyamoto is a Japanese video game designer, producer and game director at Nintendo, where he serves as one of its representative directors. Widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and influential designers in the history of video games, he is the creator of some of the most acclaimed and best-selling game franchises of all time, including Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Star Fox and Pikmin. in a survey of game developers by industry publication Develop, 30% of the developers, by far the largest portion,[3] chose Miyamoto as their "Ultimate Development Hero". Time called Miyamoto "the Spielberg of video games"[58] and "the father of modern video games,"[10] while The Daily Telegraph says he is "regarded by many as possibly the most important game designer of all time."[59] GameTrailers called him "the most influential game creator in history."[60] Miyamoto has significantly influenced various aspects of the medium. The Daily Telegraph credited him with creating "some of the most innovative, ground breaking and successful work in his field."[59] Many of Miyamoto's works have pioneered new video game concepts or refined existing ones. Miyamoto's games have received outstanding critical praise, some being considered the greatest games of all time.
The idea that Michael Jackson is on the same level as someone like Mozart or Wagner is hilarious.
i dont think, there will be other mozart or wagner, not even the most famous composer that is zimmer is similar to them.
btw but what we are talking? complexity? revolution in music or what?
I just fell back on the common statement that MJ was more widely known than Jesus, but when you put it like that, yeah the comparison is pretty stupid.
He's the greatest of all time and no seething can change that. His music stretches places where even Christ doesn't reach globally
>His music stretches places where even Christ doesn't reach globally
Where?
>The Yawalapiti of Brazil, numbering 150, are Unengaged and Unreached. Christian influence on the Yawalapití has been negligible, owing to the absence of Christian missions in the region. The Yawalapití believe in many spirits. The common name for all spirits is apapalotápu. The aquatic spirit, kwahalu, is hairy and the spirit of the earth, yacula (which also means "a shadow"), is very dangerous. To meet him means death to the Yawalapití. In this context, it is strictly forbidden to pronounce a dead person's name is strictly forbidden, for fear of his or her soul's reappearance.
>In 2010, A French TV crew went to see the Yawalapiti, an Amazonian tribe that is rather cut off from the world. They have limited contact with modern culture. The crew showed them various footage on a TV set, such as Snow, Soccer players, 9/11, World War all went unrecognized, the only things they heard about was the Moon Landing and Michael Jackson which every native in the room raised their hand and testified to have heard his music before, it was stated by the TV crew no matter where you go in the world in the world people will have heard of Michael Jackson before.
Don't forget Michael painted about 180 works and the total value of them was appraised at 1 billion dollars, meaning if he had done more he would also be the most celebrated painter of all time as the total value would exceed any other billionaire's singular collection
>I don't know what contemporary means, but I won't let that stop me!
It is so very obviously Miyamoto. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that Miyamoto is more correct for video games than any of these artists are for their craft.
Yes these are what have been declared & will be forever remembered as the best in their field but that's not what contemporary means.
concensus is who is the most talentless hack but everybody loves? i would say kojima, or who make a stupid product and everybody think is deep and i would say cuckman
A home made hoagie from freshly baked bread really is a heavenly delight

Unironically, put the picture of John Romero and Carmack
Ironically? Todd Howard
obviously Miyazaki. He singlehandedly saved the gaming industry from the dumbed down casual movie-game curse that consoles brought upon us
Carmack without a doubt.
Even Carmack says Miyamoto was a big influence.
roast beef and a loaf of bread, which you will enjoy much more
Gamers don't know who makes the games they play.
They only know "franchises" and publishers/producers.
Everybody here still thinks Igarashi invented castlevania.
