right now? Retro easily. But when Rare was with Nintendo it was an amazing company... even before that they were pretty good with games like Battletoads.

I vote for Rare

That's rather insulting for Rareware to be compared to Retro.

Being compared to Retro Studios should put Rare/ware out of its misery.

Why does Retro need to make a brand new IP for some people to accept their brilliance? I don't understand.



How technical is your game?

During the N64 days, Rare released almost 2 big titles every single year.

1996 - KI Gold
1997 - Blast Corps, Goldeneye, Didy Kong Racing
1998 - Banjo-Kazooie
1999 - Jet Force Gemini, Donkey Kong 64
2000 - Perfect Dark, Banjo -Tooie
2001 - Conker's Bad Fur Day

Plus 6 GBC titles during that time frame.

Retro has released 5 games in 8 years across 2 consoles.   Sure all 5 are great but Rare managed twice the number of great titles in just 6 years all while establishing new franchises and re-igniting old ones.

 

I love Retro Studios and believe them to be one of the best development studios out there.  But during the N64 days, Rare simply cannot be looked down upon.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

I've played both Banjoo's from Rare and the 3 Prime games from Retro. I'm going with Retro.

Retro has yet to make a game that is less than absolutely amazing. But more importantly, they are actually capable of creating 3D games with stable framerates.

100%this

I chose Rare because their past titles are landmarks in gaming. Retro has made Metroid Prime, which is a very good game,but it's difficult to compete with a company that has released games like the Donkey Kong Country Trilogy,Killer Instict,Banjo- Kazooie and GoldenEye,which is on many peoples list of greatest games of all time.

But Rare is a company of the past and Retro is the future...
