What Could Possibly Go Wrong? 3D Platformer Bubsy 4D Announced for PS5, PS4

Where the enemies?

Don't really care much for his weird redesign but I do really like how the series can poke fun at itself.

Game of the year! I know thats right

Bubsy is here to stay isn’t he? Pretty funny how he pokes fun of himself and his games I’ll give it that. 😂

Well... it can't be worse than 3D. 🤣

We live in a society where Ape Escape, Spyro, Tearaway and Banjo are dead, but Bubsy gets new games.

Where's Knack 3?

This looks like all the horrible PS1-era action games when devs were first figuring out how to do 3D.

This is the most excited I've been for a platformer, most look bland, nostalgic and worthless, Demon Turf was ok, but even if a bit empty at times in this trailer, the movesets HOPEFULLY will make it a good enough experience if they make it land.

If we looked on the outside sure, many IPs could be getting games ,but to me it's the gameplay, Bubsy to me is pretty eh, but I don't want another Banjo, Spyro modern 4, etc. if they suck gameplay wise and are all superficial story, worlds and characterisation to cover up things. I don't play games, let alone platformers for the cute characters, I do because the animal/human/whatever characters movesets are cool.

I'd take a Chameleon Twist, Space Station Silicon Valley or others, there is a reason Croc even is simple was appealing, Gex has great ideas/presentation even if ports/remasters and not a Bubsy 4D case. The lesser known platformers appeal to me more. Not AAA platformers that are ok but have other directions I don't care for of mechanics as much. B grades had less polish but still interesting ideas and I respect that.

It's like playing a bland skating game, why would you play a skating game if it was superficial right? I can say the same about racing games but many people in that side either want better or eat up the garbage of motorsport too much so it's long gone.

Arcade ones are decent when they come back but even still.

Story based shooters, yeah I am playing PS3/360/Wii/ and older for a reason, gameplay gimmicks cool, story fair, nowadays, multiplayer slop/boring maps/etc ideas/execution.

So to me this studio has really made the most of Bubsy in tone, characterisation and not making a bland moveset for an old IP, they haven't slapped a 'you remember this right' they are making the most of it, and I respect that. Finally devs that put effort in, not waste my time ignoring the garbage of the industry.

I want to respect Indies, but they don't always cover up their lack of skill (it's fine to have less skill, they build up to that, that's totally fine I will never judge them for their skill levels), or their annoying inspiration/referencing (aka excuses, I don't respect that, I look at old games too, favourites, gems, new favourites, but I can still have a decent even if nto great idea in mind from games I was inspired by or a random fictional thing based on some real world thing, and spin it in some stupidly gameplay beneficial way, no one seems to have that mindset and it's said, your making a game, think how games are, what they can be, not narrow minded referential garbage/nostalgia, I use my mind/emotion when it's necessary, not aimlessly), they need to show their potential more, yet they don't and that's what always disappoints me.

So Bubsy 4D gives me hope, not only for 'bad' games reviving to show their potential compared to their prior complications, but that other Indies take notice and make better products.

If this games lands, I hope it does. It has the potential I see in it for sure.

This looks utterly abysmal.

While watching this trailer, it got clear to me why Mario, Donkey Kong and Astro Bot don’t talk.

Meh, gameplay look like it could at the very least be decent enough.
I do like, however, how the series can still poke fun at itself.

Demon Turf is really fun and the sequel, Demon Tide, is also fun from the demo I've played. I feel like this game will be enjoyable, which is rare for a Bubsy game.

The more 3D platformers, the better. I'm so glad it's a genre that's really made a comeback. I can wait for Astro Bot 2 whenever that comes out too. I'll probably buy the Yooka Laylee deluxe edition/remaster thing they're making, when it comes out finally
