Armagon Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yep. You read that right. Bubsy is getting a new game. We now live in a world where Bubsy gets a new game before F-Zero, Metroid, and Mega Man (no, Legacy Collection 2 does not count).

THe difference is that F-zero, Metroid, and mega man are owned by reasionably big companies who presumably have a lot of good options as for which game to do next (and reasons like "the creater isn't around any more" or "the last one sold horably" for why to not do them). They are also big enough that New IPs have a decent chance due to promotions and brand recognition). Acolade, on the other hand, has no good options for established IPs, and an uphill climb to make a new IP stand out in this market, so they chose bubsy (the "interview" on the website implies that the steam "port" of bubsy 1 and 2 (by which i mean, they slapped the roms in a open source emulator, and sold it on steam) did well, although tongue is so far in check that it is hard to tell).

The DanMan Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Bubsy's sheer legacy is "so bad it's good"; the fact they'd make this means either they think they can do something really great... or are going to try to do the worst they can.

Apperently, the developers are "black forest games", who previously developed "giana sisters: twisted dreams". That game (which was a nostaglia fueled sequel to a game on the commodore 64) has a "very positive" steam review average, so i could see this being good. The being said, the boast of "over 100 new one-liners" sounds like a bad sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember, like, two years ago, Crystal Dynamics was doing surveys to see if people would be excited for a new Gex game. What a weird, weird time we live in.

Ertrick36 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Well, I mean, it's coming at a time when Sonic's been churning out real trite (though it remains to be seen if the next one will be good or bad), so... maybe it has a chance? Though Bubsy is a horribly designed character, akin to some of the worst of Fates trope characters. Like, his big pull is... having bad luck? Except he has no charm like Arthur; he's just annoying as hell. So it's almost guaranteed that probably no one will like the character himself. The appeal will be strictly gameplay unless they overhaul Bubsy's character or add some charm outside of that character. But yeah, talk about scraping the bottom of the goddamn barrel. Actually it's more like scraping the rust off of a quarter-century old shovel. Still an interesting development... Though I'm not gonna be surprised if it flops.

DarkDestr0yer61 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Gaiden remake. The return of Bubsy. What is this, the year of games that come out of nowhere? Also rip Woolie Madden's Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritisa Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I have a stronger feeling it'll be trying to "rebirth" the identity, for lack of a better word? I always did feel bubsy was just a case of "terribly misguided" mixed with "devs that don't know what they're doing/had way too much they had to do" and "just a bunch of bad timing and circumstances" and could have under better cases been the looney toons parallel in the gaming world, or something. Dunno, prolly giving it too much credit. But it'll be interesting to see where the actual fuck something like this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom wasn't even made by Sonic Team though and Lost World was more mediocre (Yet it was received fairly well on Steam due in part to people modding SA styled levels haha, although its more mixed now). I have no doubts that Mania will be spectacular and Forces will be at least a modestly good game (it does have the Unleashed/Colors/Generations team behind it) but theres no reason you need to make such a negative statement.

Armagon Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 To be honest, a part of me genuinely hopes this game is at least decent. Because i'm legitamtly interested in playing this even though i don't have a PS4 and my PC kinda sucks. I also feel like this game will get decent sales because of the meme status surrounding Bubsy. They should've saved this reveal for E3 though. Imagine at the end, after the Nintendo E3 Direct and whatever Sony and Microsoft do, at the very end, we see the Bubsy: Woolies Strike Back trailer. Just imagine the surprise and shock and memes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightBow Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) I know about the pie thief but who are the other Woolies? And to think that the poster boy of shitty Sonic clones gets a new game. This year just keeps getting crazier. Can't we at least get Jazz Jackrabbit back? Those games were actually good and are fondly remembered. Well, except for that weird GBA thing. Anyway, I'm not sure that memes are going to help Bubsy. I mean, does anyone even pretend to like the character and his game like people do with classics like Big Rigs?

BrightBow Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Meanwhile on the Sonic twitter there is already a Bubsy/Sonic/Megaman crossover. Those modern social media guys waste no time.
