Your favorite Sega dev team of all time?

I'm including some of the older dev teams, before the official "split up" of Sega happened...

From your list, I'd choose either Sonic Team or UGA, just for Rez, but Smilebit might own me after Orta.

I think Amusement Vision is a glaring omission, though.

Since we're talking all-time, I think the teams are too intertwined for most of Sega's history to properly answer. What's the relationship between Team Shinobi and AM1? AM1 made Golden Axe and later became WOW. And it seems like the main Shinobi people are at Overworks.

Plus, there are too many great Sega games that I have no clue worked on them. Does anyone outside Sega know the names of the people who made Kenseiden, for example?

Yeah, no real good choice there since the depts. were not so cleanly defined in the Past. I would say Sonic Team, but Overworks has a bit o Sonic Team in them (or vice versa).

Currently, Smilebit and UGA as a draw. Two incredibly promising studios.

Yeah... it's too hard to really name a specific team when the rosters were changed here and there throughout the company's history. Still... I've been a big AM2 guy for a while. Their record of recent years is excellent, at least for me it is...

I have to go with AM2 for Shenmue alone.

I pick that one.

AM2. As a kid though I really loved Sonic Team.

Overworks.

I am picking Sonic Team.. but it's a toss-up with Overworks and I could have gone either way. Smilebit is just a shade behind those two and then UGA would probably be next.. I love them all though. :)

If I knew who worked on some of the older games that might change my opinion a bit too, but since I don't I am basing this on releatively recent times.
