Rockstar definitely. GTA 4 was great, Red Dead Redemption was epic, and L.A. Noir was FANTASTIC! I'd trust them with any street level character.

^^^ Team Bondi developed L.A noire 
I agree with rockstar, but I don't think they will include any superpowered villain or alien weaponry. 
Volition, Inc the guys made the Red fraction games could work. 

Bethesda I think would be a good canidate to add as well. Fallout 3 and the Elder Scrolls series shows that they can do an open world with supervillians and have it be as violent as you would expect a Punisher game to be.

I'd agree that Rockstar are safe pair of hands. I'd want to play it in first person rather than third for a punisher game but that just my preference. Saying that however I think IO Interactive who did Hitman Blood money (a third person) would do a great Punisher game.   

I agree only with Rockstar, i can imagine The Punisher like a GTA4 with missions for the main story and some side quests "street level". They could based in Max stories but if they put some villains of 616 it's good for me too. He could unlock some weaponry as far as he goes forward in the main missions.

And it could be written by Garth Ennis :D

thq made the brilliant 2005 game of the punisher. stick with thq.

Definitely and great storyline. IMO it would be interesting to see in an open world.
