Bubsy isn't dead guys
Well, this came out of absolutely nowhere. Say hello to Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back.

Yep, Bubsy's actually getting a new game.
You heard me. A new game. I can hardly believe it, either.
And after all of the Sonic Forces memes, too. It has come full circle, Bubsy's back for real this time.
Your thoughts?

Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
When I was first told about this, I thought it was fake, but no. It sounds like a funny idea on paper, but what they've shown in the trailer look terrible. Like someone worked on for about a week in Unity.

You have obviously never seen original Bubsy gameplay then, which, I assure you, is much worse.Pufflehugs wrote:but what they've shown in the trailer look terrible. Like someone worked on for about a week in Unity.
Also, the gameplay doesn't look amazing, but the art, especially the presumable boxart catch of Bubsy shown at the end, is really nice. The Bubsy design looks appealing, the colours are nice, the pose is dynamic and unique, at least the pure 2D art direction seems good.

Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
I know what classic Bubsy is like, but that's not gonna stop me from criticizing it. Besides, even that seems more solid than this. Bubsy seems a lot less animated and cartoony than the classic games.
Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
The first Bubsy games were too active and random for their own good. It was distracting and confusing, and was a big reason (along with the weird controls and fall damage) the first games weren't the most well received.
Also, nobody is stopping you from criticizing the game.

Bubsy wins E3 already, I sincerely doubt anything can top the sheer thought of this.

Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
Bubsy's funny and all, but I just wanna point out how depressing it is that Bubsy's coming back when it's been sixteen years since the last PaRappa game and nine years since the last proper Spyro game (and seventeen years since the last good Spyro game) yet neither has had a new sequel, reboot, or revival.
Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
Parappa has had two remakes, for the PSP and PS4 (one of which was released this year), and there has been a project confirmed by the makers of Parappa collaborating with the makers of Gitaroo Man, named Project Rap Rabbit.
Also, Bubsy and Parappa/Spyro aren't mutually exclusive. Just because Bubsy gets a "reboot" (it's more of a long-awaited sequel than anything) doesn't mean Parappa and Spyro are excluded from ever getting new games.

Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
I think Bubsy is a sign that we can finally stop wafting the nostalgia of 2D platformers and embrace 3D platformers with personality wholeheartedly.
Admittedly, though, I think at worst we will get something like Duke Nukem Forever, where it is a cash grab using an outdated character, and at best we get a game that is incredibly self-aware and intentionally excessively cheesy.
What I'm more amused by is that I'm pretty sure the video will always autoplay or link to JonTron's Bubsy Collection video, bringing that discussion back to the surface. Conspiracy? Probably not.

Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
PaRappa didn't get a true remake, just updated graphics (and apparently also improved button detection). And a remake doesn't exactly fit into the categories of "sequel, reboot, or revival"
Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
It actually does fit into "revival". Hell, Parappa appearing in PSABR can be considered a "revival", proving that Sony at least acknolewdges the series.

Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
I guess it's kinda half-way a revival, but still kinda sub-par.
Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
You should take a look at Project Rap Rabbit Puffle.
Also, i hope that's not an offhanded remark towards Megaman Crazo. He's suffered enough.

Re: Bubsy isn't dead guys
Here's some of the new artwork of Bubsy.
Hmm, his pose looks awfully familiar, doesn't it?
I wonder...
Also, I suppose it's worth noting that the Twitter accounts for Sonic, Bubsy, and even Mega Man have been having some entertaining little interactions with one another since the announcement was made.
EDIT: It seems that the official Pac-Man account joined in, too. What a time to be alive.
