Rare has not become as bad as everyone has stated. Last generation was a huge fall from grace, but this gen so far, they've released three titles that have all garned very positive cumulative review scores. It's hard to say Rare doesn't have it again after seeing what was done with Viva Pinata. I forgive Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero the same way I forgive Resistance as they were the big launch titles and needed to be presented on day one, no exceptions. Of course a little polish is going to get thrown to the wolves. I have a lot of faith in Banjo Kazooie 3 being a respectable sequel to two of the N64's finest titles. The team is still there, supposedly almost in full, and I feel 8 years has given them plenty of innovative apporaches to take this franchise. After that who knows?
I'd personally love a new Killer Instinct if they still hold the license but I feel with mo-cap sprites being beyond yesturday's news and scrolling FMV backgrounds also ancient as Fear Effect, I suspect one of the main drawing points of the game is lost at this point. Maybe an Xbox Live sequel for $20 would be fitting.
