Rare didn't just lose its touch when they were sold to Microsoft... They lost half their employees and their freedom. Now they need to make what Microsoft orders them to. That's why Banjo-Kazooie looks completely different than it used to (for good or bad).

 

I guess you haven't read the interviews with the Rare guys.  They said that it is, for the most part, the original Banjo team and they started out doing the third Banjo has an HD upgrade.  The levels got so massive that they needed a quicker way to get around and so the user created vehicles were set upon.  That is why Banjo-Kazooie will play differently than it used to.
