I really hope it turns out to be a

"the first puss in boots movie was garbage and then they made a sequel that was insanely good for no reason"

type situation. Imagine bubsy gets nominated for Game of The Year

gimmie Buck Bumble 2 dammit

[-] D61@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

Not sure the world could handle a second, upgraded version of the Buck Bumble theme song.

[-] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

This is true. Unless they just did a unique theme song for 2 that would be nowhere near as good.

Speak for yourself doggirl-growl

Bubsy never gave up, and neither should you.

[-] Monstertruckenjoyer@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

that's like the whole joke in the trailer. literally opens with a sarcastic riff on the old games

But idk it's a recognizable IP, makes sense to try to do something with it.

Plok is the true mascot platformer slop of the proletariat

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

A mediocre game with an amazing Tim Follin soundtrack. Many such cases!

What's a bubsy?

[-] VibeCoder@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

Bubsy 2 for gameboy used to piss me off so much. But it was like $3 secondhand at GameStop so I was able to talk my parents into impulse buying it so 🤷

[-] Esoteir@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

the devs for Bubsy 4D made Demon Turf and that game fukkin slapped, underrated 3D platformer gem

here's hoping the Bubsy IP lets them get that bag this time rat-salute-2

We need an Awesome Possum game instead

Maybe even Aero the Acro-Bat

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

I found out recently that Aero the Acro-Bat was produced by the same guy who was kicked out of Retro Studios by Nintendo during the development of Metroid Prime for using the company's servers to host websites with pictures of scantily clad women. Same guy later founded the studio that made The Guy Game, a true ”dudes rock” guy.

Nobody needs a new Awesome Possum, though.

I always find that funny. "I've been kicked out of the studio that will make a classic, repeatedly put on lists of the greatest games of all time? Well, no matter. I will create a new studio to make what I am truly passionate about: a shitty game that's basically Girls Gone Wild: the Game, that MAY legally be considered cp".

I thought maybe the recentish entries did alright but nope both of them got absolutely slammed lmao.

I guess they must be getting money just from the meme of Bubsy being bad. It's kinda like the Sonic franchise but more self aware.

[-] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

Honestly, while a valid question, that trailer was honestly pretty good. Actually has me interested in playing it

[-] ryepunk@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

I mean there's some old school twitch communities that kind of ironically love bubsy, but even they know that bubsy is a trash game and the the sequels are worse by far.

repent

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

Is it intentional that the world design and color scheme is so off-putting?

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

Bubsy devs are the some of very few who aren't complacent with 3 Ds and are trying to get more. I say, shine on you crazy diamonds, the more Ds the better.
