Thats actually all from reliable sources.

The thing is, names mean nothing to me in the games industry, it’s about producing the goods that count.
Rare were fantastic on the N64, I enjoyed all of their games, especially GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Blast Corps and DK64, but they need to produce the goods again to show they are still worthy of our praise and our cash.
Though I have yet to play it, Star Fox Adventures was criticised across a broad range of places, so their Nintendo swansong wasn’t what we were expecting from the old masters which is a big shame as it leaves a sour taste in the mouths of many fans. I do hope their Xbox games are great, but we’ll have to wait and see if they’re still just riding on their reputations or not. If they’re not good, it’ll show how important Nintendo really were to them.

I liked it. Didn't think the multi was up to much.

I enjoyed it, I wouldn't go as far as saying I loved it.
I think Rare are very odd. They'll do what they want.
I heard a rumour that Rare didn't realise they had the GC development kit for quite a while. I think someone contacted them about it. Apparently people at Rare were heard to say "oh THAT's what's in that box".
Nobody had bothered to open the box!
Now I don't know if they were winding Nintendo up or what. But it's a funny story.

Worst game on the 64. Merely because it RUINED a good name.

I loved DK64. Never could find a banana in the years I had the game but I loved it none the less.
I don't think Rare were exactly whole souled going into Starfox, the relationhip with Ninty was getting strained by that point, and when they knew they were going to be sold I think they probably just lost heart a bit.
On a new console and with new owners who care, I think they will flourish.

The relationship with ninty wasn't on the ropes for the 4 years that Starfox was in development.
No I don't imagine it was for all that length of time. But Starfox could have been better with just a bit more work. But if they didn't care anymore then they wouldn't put in the effort.
