Apparently Accolade is back and a new Bubsy game is coming later this year. I've always hated "one hit kill" and "enemy placement memorization" Bubsy.
Hopefully this game will be playable.

Oh good, maybe you know who will have an aneurysm. Hopefully it's not as dull and euro-platformer as the original game.
Looks kinda neat, though I'll never get used to that increase in screen resolution.
before you saw a bit under and above you, now you see the complete level. it's too much!
What could possibly go wrong?
BEST DAY EVER
Who knows. It could suck, or it could actually be kind of fun. It would seem odd to release a shitty mascot sidescroller these days, so I'm kind of optimistic.
Maybe it will humorously poke fun at the crappiness of the older games, while also being a decent sidescroller.
When I first heard that Bubsy was coming back, I naturally thought "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"... But after seeing that trailer, I'm actually somewhat interested in it.
Why? Because it's being made by Black Forest Games, the studio that made Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, which was an awesome platformer. In fact, the Bubsy trailer looked more or less like a palette swap graphically, and even used the same sound effects. I'm sure some of that will change, but if it's even at least somewhat like Giana Sisters, then this new Bubsy game actually be (for the first time ever) an actually really good game.
Good stuff. Hopefully Bubsy's success will pave the way for that Awesome Possum reboot we've all been waiting for!
Awesome Possum man... I often tell people that this is the first bad game I ever played, and it really is. Being raised on Mario, Crash, Sonic and all. I still have a weird soft spot for it though. I would totally buy an awesome possum remake, as long as it was half good.Quote:

I could understand bringing back something like Rocket Knight... but Bubsy?
Even as a kid, his design was generic and unappealing.
At least it wasn't Aero the Acro-Bat, or Titus the Fox.
Are you sure you're feline alright?Quote:

None of the Bubsy games were ever playable.
They were playable, but they were really only enjoyable if you liked Europlatformer garbage. Move through a hundred or so largely linear levels that change mainly in visual style rather than layout and path design, collecting crap for points and lives, typically one-hit death, little in the way of powerups, no bosses, nothing really unique about the game other than whether or not you lucked into getting a good composer to do your soundtrack.
Whatever happens with this, is it really going to affect you, even if it turns out as bad as the last one? I'd just wait and see what happens here.
Meh I kinda liked it, though I was like 14 at the time or something.Quote:

I wish I could find that magazine ad where Accolade bragged about what a great focus group they had for making the character and game.Quote:

but don't go fucking overboard with it it! it just ruins the feel of the game when you can see EVERYTHING.
Because almost every jump in the original was a flying leap of faith.
It might have to do with the fact that most people have oversized TV screens today.Quote:

I have mixed feeling on this. I mean everyone wants Final Fantasy 7 get a remake, but is a remake needed for something that they already consider perfect (a subjective point). I personally feel that if you want to remake a game or make a good game for a franchise that is infested with bad games, go for it. It is better to have a world where one is allowed to redeem themselves (Bubsy) than to bury them and wonder if it could have been done right. Even then making Bubsy new game doesn't take away resources for other games, so I don't see a problem with it.
Even then the original Bubsy games weren't terrible. The first one was annoying to the degree that you couldn't see anything in front of you and one hit killed you. Bubsy 2 was fairly decent, wouldn't call it great, but middle of the road. Fractured Furry Tails.... well it had good music. As far as the gameplay itself, the levels were too damn long. Bubsy 3D... now that is a legitimately bad game, in fact I stand by the worst game I've ever played. There are games that are so bad it's funny, Bubsy 3D was so bad it's bad.
Basically this. I still enjoy the first one more because of the musics and visuals, but 2 is indeed the best of the franchise, it has a much better stage design to help the player and is shorter.Quote:

Bubsy 3D and Ride to Hell constantly fight for my worst game of all time spot
But I might give the edge to Ride to Hell
