rare's titles too are high quality but silicon knights makes lots of good strides with their titles
i would rather have silicon knights anyway- even the director of the place is a great guy and loves nintendo (denis dyack...as if you didnt know)
i just hope silicon knights makes even more high quality titles- i just want to see too human finally make an appearence

Silicon Knights has only released one game under Nintendo thus far (previous games include Blood Omen, Steel Empires, and some other games... although I have only played Blood Omen, which was a great game although had horrendous load times), and although IMO is was great, I wouldn't call is a masterpiece (although I would call the storyline such).
Rare over the years has delivered the amazing classics that are Donkey Kong Country and Goldeneye, as well as other great games such as Conker's Bad Fur Day (although I didn't like the change in direction), Blast Corps, and Jet Force Gemini (hated the last part with the Tribals though... that just killed the game for me but at least the rest was great). Banjo-Kazooie was good too but the controls just didn't feel solid enough for me and the collecting still urks me. Star Fox Adventures was a mediocre game, but everyone makes a flaw in their track record (although they sure took a long time to pop out a mediocre game) and at times multiple. We'll see how things are down the line when Rare releases their X-Box line-up. I'm personally looking forward to Kameo and Conker, Banjo is good but nothing special to me while Perfect Dark Zero doesn't really raise an eyebrow from me, especially compared to many other quality FPS games that have been released and will be release... is those games in my mind live up to the hype of course).
However, I honestly do look forward to Too Human and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes than Rare's offerings, but that doesn't mean I'm going to downplay Rare just because they happened to have start out rough this generation. For all we know they may actually release a new masterpiece in the future. Not say their going to but you never know.

They've only released one game each, and even though these games are toted as the best games ever, it still ain't enough to be called Rare.
But hopefully, this trend of excellent games continues (even Rare had their bad games - look at Mickey's Speedway), THEN we can call them Rare. But why should we call them Rare when we can call them Silicon Knights and Retro Studios?

Think about the overall design, length, replayability, and memorability of StarFox Adventures, then wonder what happened to the design talent Rare was supposed to have.

Yeah I have to agree with Termin9Anakin. Retro and SK are showing great promise but we have to see more from them before we can say they are the next Rare. I don't want them to be the next Rare to be honest. I would want them to be better. Rare's most recent work was on the same level as their previous titles. Some of their games were stellar but then you get the Donkey Kong 64's and Banjo-Tooie collectathons that droves most of us insane. SFA wasn't a bad game but its hardly a game with the replayability that Goldeneye and Perfect Dark had. I serious hope that the artwork for PD0 by Rare was some sort of sick joke...if they really do that to Joanna....then I'm glad MS got Rare.

Silicon Knights and Retro on the other hand has captured me again of why i have stuck with Nintendo, games like Metroid with awsome graphics and gameplay; all it needed i think is a co-op mode or some kind of multiplayer mode to be a masterpiece, and Eternal Darkness with probably the best storyline i have ever played in a game and its unique gameplay instead of rehashing from games like RE or Silent Hill. And now Retro is making a Metroid sequel, Silicon Knights making a remake of Metal Gear with better graphics and more detailed/realistic moves, and also the game which i have been waiting for since the early years of the GameCubes life Too Human!! Just thinking about this makes me drool with excitement.
So what I'm trying to say is...yes i do think Silicon Knights is the next big thing and also Retro.
