Retro during the 6th gen. Sure, the culprit is Prime, but it single handedly put Nintendo and the GC back into the discussion. I do think that Rare might have the edge of quantitative streak of successful games, but NOTHING comes even remotely close to Prime. The fact that it's still fully playable, and arguably better than most first person games today, after a quarter century in the most intensely contested genre... yeah, Rare wasn't even the peak platformer developer for their respective period.
Edit: reading through the other responses I do find it curious how many people have fond memories of Rare. I guess I might be the odd one out when it comes to liking their development style.
