My head says itll score low/mid 80s but my heart is hoping for 90+.
Oh, the review thread is today? That should be fun. And by fun I mean it's going to Crash N'Burn. The thread that is, not the game itself.
I don't know how you review a remaster* tbh. Either you review it in terms of its own goals (which is to faithfully recreate the original games, and this can only be reviewed positively under that metric), or you review it the same as you review any other release (in which case it's undeniably "stuck in the past" but how useful would that comment be to anyone?).I expect a lot of "gameplay hasn't aged well" or "stuck in the past" and lower scores, like every non-Nintendo platformer these days.
That said, I don't think scores will affect the sales that much, whoever's played the games when they first came out will know if they want the trilogy or not.
I'm assuming it's supply issues, but Amazon is saying mine won't arrive until 7/4, even though I have Prime and regularly use Prime Now/release-date delivery. Might have to cancel my flippin' pre-order and go to a brick-and-mortar store..
Aaaahhh I can't wait til July 3rd! It's too far away! Why can't mine come on release day???
Amazon I'm paying for your Prime service! I expect it to arrive on release day!
Seriously, amazon really dropped the ball on release date delivery here.

I'm going Crash 2, 3 and then 1 because that's how it went for me as a kid getting a PS1 after Crash 1 released.

Anyone looking to go for the plat - the time trials are really tough (at least in Crash 1).
I play Crash 2 and 3 quite often. Both of them hold up very well. Crash 1, not so much.Will play through Warped over the weekend.. quite nostalgic, it was the game I got with my PlayStation back in the day. Hope it holds up.
I replayed Crash 2 last year and really enjoyed it.
You guys should definitely try contacting Amazon CS directly, just in case they can still get it to you today or tomorrow. If you contact them about the promised release day delivery they may be able to fix the situation for you, I've heard of people having some luck with this in the past at times so it's worth a shot.
reviews at what time?
would have taken you less typing to write a time instead, thanks anyway.Dude. Sometimes it's good to actually read the OP
I feel like reviews with be rather contrasting on this. The camp that feel it's achieved what they set out to do, and the camp that feel the whole idea is outdated regardless.
Mine's dispatched! Can't wait to check this out tomorrow night.
Thanks wrestleman for the sweet opening post.
Any word yet on what the file size is?
23.5GB iirc.
My copy has arrived.

They list Spyro as coming soon as well, with the old logo mind you... I wonder...In case anyone's missed it, First4Figures have also now launched pre-orders for their Crash 9" PVC figure! Should look lovely next to my Gaming Heads Jak & Daxter statue!

I'll be curious to see how the reviews line up against something like Yooka Laylee (where a lot of the negative response circled around outdated mechanics)
