It's definitely trying too hard. If they didn't lean too hard into the self awareness, it might be good, but from what I'm seeing it just went a bit too far into that territory and crossed from "We're in on the joke" to obnoxiousness. Maybe they can reign it in a bit and bring it back, but we'll see.

I'm sorry, but there's only one Sega mascot that needs a new game. OPA-OPA. We need a new Fantasy Zone.

Hell make it an online multiplayer game. Fantasy Zone Online.

We're talking about Bubsy. Stop asking for a miracle.
 
Why the fuck don't they make a Rocket Knight Adventures game? Could be a decent Ratchet & Clank clone. But no, we have to revive this retard instead. Except it's not even a revival. There were two other 'modern' Bubsy games released starting in 2017 and they were both ASS.

Also did nobody else point out the fucking furry foot fetish thumbnail? Game is going to be full of goon references.

If we're being fair, the furries gooning to Bubsy unironically are probably the only people interested in this. Did these two previous games even sell? I remember the first one didn't and that was a store CD release full priced, so you get maybe 3 hours of gameplay for $60. Gee, I wonder why nobody bought it! It's like Bubsy 3D all over again!
 
I do have to say that the dialog in the trailer is probably the best the series has ever had but that's like being the tallest midget in the room.

That said, infamy sells, or at least it gets people to talk about the subject. Rocket Knight had a remake and nobody gave a single shit.

Same with Ristar, Nights, Dynamite Heady, Aero the Acrobat, etc. You don't even see like a small niche modding community for them. I'm pretty sure people have talked about Bubsy more than all the games I mentioned combined.

The thing with Bubsy is that the time to capitalize on making him better was DECADES ago. Everything after 3D seems to follow the same pattern of getting overhyped and releasing like a wet fart.

Woolies Strike Back was average at best. The problem is that it played WAAAAAAAAAAAY too much like Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams (which was made by the same developers), so it feels more like a bootleg reskin you would have found back in the 90's. Paws on Fire, while it was made by someone else, was an autoscroller.... 'nuff said.

I have a feeling this game will follow the same fate, except it's trying WAY too hard to be "different", and that in itself will be its downfall.

Pretty much sets that all the new Bubsy games are reskins of the dev's previous game, Paws on Fire was clearly a crappy Runner 3 clone, and while Demon Tides didn't release yet, I can clearly say that Demon Turf wasn't that good despite Nitrorad shilling it.
 
I owned Bubsy 2 as a kid and remember loving the game, but damn replaying it anytime as an adult showed how bad the bubsy 1 and 2 were. All the difficulty came from the small field of view. Those are always the worst games to replay. We'll see if this is worth playing when it comes out.

In the first game it was manageable because you had a slow start, plus there is only one difficulty.

In 2, however, not only is Bubsy's speed jacked up to 11, but in order to "complete" the game, you have to Grand Tour all the floors in either East or West wing, which are not only slightly different from the individual floors, but once you reach the harder levels, the game decides it's going to spam enemies fucking everywhere at you. On the plus side, there's cheat codes such as invincibility and 99 lives if you can't be fucked to play the game for real.

Perhaps Bubsy can show us the path to the future by generating quips dynamically with an AI. That would be real "4D" gaming and a revolution.

That would unironically be the best move here. Lean into his infamy and turn him into an actual, literal quip machine. An endless supply of stupid fucking quips, each unique to the player. Every copy customized.

People would share the crazy shit Bubsy said online, knowing that otherwise nobody else will have heard it. They'd stream Bubsy day in and day out trying to get him to say the next viral thing.

I'm dead serious when I say that if Bubsy wants to become relevant again, this is how to do it.

That or Gex. It would work for him too.

Or Awesome Possum. Actually fuck Bubsy and Gex, give me Sonic If He Was Retarded motormouthing into the void for all eternity.
