They weren't terrible, but they weren't amazing either. RAREs old games used to be amazing all the time. The old RARE are gone, the current one makes average games at best. Nothing wrong with average, except when that average used to be great.
I'd rather they didn't make a sequal to old games to be honest unless they will live up to the original. They won't given the current RARE, so they shouldn't. |

Maybe that's how you remember it but that wasn't the case. Not every game Rare made back in the day was the best ever. It's just that no one focused on the negatives as much as they do now.
I don't understand what it is some people want out of Rare. I read the IGN review for the original Banjo Kazooie on XBLA and the reviewer talked about how much he loved the game back in the day but the platformer genre is dead and for good reason. He says the game is only for kids and then takes points off because of it. I don't see how it's outdated since I've been having a blast playing the game.
As for the new Banjo, I think it stays true enough to the original. I heard Banjo Tooie was immense compared to the original and Nuts & Bolts is even bigger than Tooie. So if you think about it the game has followed a natural progression. There are people that have been playing the game without using vehicles all the time and it just takes a bit longer since the game is huge. The vehicles are only there to speed up travel time for the most part.
When it comes to the rest of Rares games they still make originals. The question should be do you want the same game as before but with prettier graphics or do you want a new game. They remade Conker and reviews said it was better than the original with some additions as well. They made a new Perfect Dark which initially received 9's and 10's from reviewers. They mention remaking Jet Force Gemini and people say don't mess it up when the reviews weren't actually stellar for the original.
Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.
