These three men are the real creators of Doom. Everyone else is a fake.

For game design? That's hard to say. It's like asking who's the most influential person in music, or film, even though so many genres exist within each that built successively off of the efforts of others before them. It's even more diluted in the case of game development, because it's rarely a single artist working entirely alone to realise his own vision. They're always teams of people who all contribute their own ideas to a project, and a figurehead like Miyamoto or Inafune end up taking a lot of the credit for the efforts of everyone else.

In any case, I would say the only singularly strongly influential individual who really had a solid impact on an entire sphere of the game development scene would have to be Pixel for creating Cave Story entirely on his own and virtually kick starting the modern indie movement.

what did Robbie do for Doom?

>>385678551

The CEOs of EA, Activision, Bethesda, Ubisoft, King, Sony and Nintendo

Better question: who will be the most influential people in the videogame industry ten years from today?

>>385678696
name a game with a good story before MGS1

Akira Nishitani and Akira Yasuda, the two main guys behind Street Fighter 2.

>>385678682
Me, the future King of Games. You'll know it's me because my company will release 3 games, and the 4 one will be a Kart racing game that unites the parallel universes and solves all the loose plot threads.

>>385678863

>mfw I could literally get a bus to Romero's fucking house tomorrow

>>385679084
John Romero just took credit for the game, it was actually made by Carmack (programming), Robin Williams (art) and Reznor (music).

>>385679072


how else would you figure out that the 4th game in my blockbusting career would be a kart game? You get to tell all your buddies that you knew about it 10 years before this king of games guy even showed up

>>385679406
Didn't Bill Gates also work on the marketing?

>>385678289

>>385679763
WTF IS WRONG WITH BEING A LIBRARIAN=??

>>385679597
No you wouldn't. She's become too thicc lately. That image is years old.

>>385677879
(((Them)))

>>385679897
>No you wouldn't. She's become too thicc
This doesn't make sense.

>>385677879
Miyamoto
Carmack
Romero
Tom Hall
the Dragon Quest guy
Richard Garriot
the Houser brothers
Boon & Tobias
whoever invented Space Invaders
whoever came up with all the big Blizzard shit that's changed gaming over the last decade and a half or so

>>385679839
the bitchy librarian vibe.

>>385679168

Howard Scott Warshaw should probably be up there. Did some pretty amazing stuff for Atari at the time...and E.T.

>>385680219
No matter how bad he is, he will never top Jim RESISTerling's level of abhorrentness.

>>385679979
>Boon & Tobias
But they just copied Street Fighter 2.

>>385681430
Midway were MAJOR players in the arcades in the 90s and Mortal Kombat alone forever changed gaming.

>>385681430
>Boon & Tobias
They were actually two people? Thought it was a single guy called Tobias Boon from that Noob Saibot character..

Streamers, youtubers, feminazis and investors. They are the ones who actually make the games.
