Trivial I know but the name for the trilogy is pissing me off. Dr. N.Gin was a cyborg character from the originals who had a missile lodged in his nut, and even though his name was a weak pun on 'engine', there was a basis for it. Compare to N.Sane, for which there is no character to base the pun on, and which doesn't even work phonetically. Who pronounces insane with an 'e'?

 

Basically, the name can fuck off.

Any sign of the reviews appearing for this game? When does the embargo lift?

Must be out now Metro gave it 7 outta 10.

I uhhhh...well, I don't think Crash is a particularly good game. Even back when it was new. Honestly it makes me think of the "Runner" games that were big on phones for a while. Short linear levels with platforming that feels a bit odd/off. Just not as tight as I expected. 

Its perfectly playable all the same and a decent game. I guess I just expected something a little more substantial as a 3D playformer post Mario 64. Maybe it just hasn't quit clicked.

This is the biggest exclusive platform launch of 2017 so far.

Bigger than Horizon!

It's sold more in the UK in its first week than any 3D Mario has done.

For an incredibly mediocre game that's really good going!

(it's always been average at best, :p)

I'm sure this game is more difficult than it was when I played it on my cousin's playstation.

I have become close to snapping the pad on several occasions!

The developer confirmed it is more difficult due to the slippy landing physics that punish you if you fall just short of a ledge.

I've saved some money in the last few weeks and bought the Trilogy just now :D

Gonna grab something to eat and plaaaayyyy :bouncy:

Good man! You're in for a treat.

I managed to platinum the first game. I gotta admit, it's been a while since a platinum caused me so much stress. Some of the time trials are stupidly tight and you have to do perfect runs just to get a gold, never mind a platinum. The High Road and Road To Nowhere were an absolute nightmare. I considered giving up and just moving on but I kept getting that nagging in my head. I knew I could do it if I just put in the time and sure enough I did.

During the launch week it was fun reading various meltdowns from people on different forums. It goes to show just how easy a lot of modern games are when people were getting stuck and having raging fits over levels that were on the first island. Being a NES era kid has its perks as I grew up playing games that were stupidly difficult. Gaming kids these days have had it too easy. :D

I got most of the way through the 2nd game but then had to give it a break as I was getting a bit burnt out by that point. Still, at least the hardest one is out of the way now. I'll get back to the second game some time soon.
