I... What?
How?
Why?
They're really trying to restore relevance to this guy? Of all VG characters?

I can't hate anymore. Bubsy is that bad bitch that does what it wants now. I fully expect this franchise to continue forever and for the internet to buy every new game indefinitely.
You have to realize the harsh reality video game characters have to face.
It's either you stay relevant, or die trying to get a budget to stay alive.
Not all characters have infinite lives and eternal youth.
I've always found Bubsy charmingly lame. Crash has always rubbed me the wrong way, ever since the first PS1 game. Coming a few years after the dime-a-dozen platform mascot years of the 16 bit era didn't help.
Obviously there's no denying that the Crash games are better, but I have a weird soft spot for the first Bubsy. It's not totally devoid of merit.
say what you will about bubsy but he had attitude. crono couldn't even talk
he found a lost kitten but that's lame when you can actually be the kitten
I beat both 1 and 2 on the SNES and ayed more of 3D than anyone should. I never played the GBC version of 2, the unique Jaguar game nor the new game but I've watched playthroughs.
I'm so sorry. I had a Saturn so I never got to be punished by Bubsy 3D.
I'm amazed that there actually using Bubsy's old supporting cast. Like where there a group of fans desperate for the return of the Armadillo?
lmao I'm shocked that bubsy is actively getting new games, and TWSB wasn't a one-off.
hopefully it's better than...all of the bubsy games that already exist (maybe it might, considering the developer?...)
i guess we'll wait and see. what could pawsibly go wrong?

I'm genuinely disappointed this isn't a proper Bubsy game. Even last year's The Woolies Strike Back is just Bubsy: Giana Sisters Edition.
Why do they want to continue the mediocrity that this series has been always known? Surely they're better off making new IPs.
That's their secret captain. They're always reskins.
I guess it works.
Somehow
So I hope I'm not breaking any rules by saying this but I'm one of the developers on the game. Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions!
To address the main concern I'm seeing in here, though: We promise this isn't any sort of reskin! We built the game from the ground up to be its own unique thing, and part of that was offering four playable characters with unique movesets/playstyles. Two of the characters have auto-runner gameplay, whereas the other two have different gameplay entirely.
Anyway, I apologize if this comes off as me trying to market the game or anything along those lines. I just wanted to offer a little insight! And if anyone has any other questions please let me know!

I guess Bubsy is the equivalent of "all PR is good PR", it'll get people to notice your game but for all the wrong reasons. Probably the equivalent of causing a massive accident with an advertising vehicle. Yeah, everybody will see you...
Don't get those comments wrong, the previous Bubsy wasn't just a reskin either, all the content in it was its own but it was clear that it was strongly based on Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams (except missing the titular twisted world mechanic). But it was tedious garbage and over in 2 hours.

After Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams and Runner3 I cant wait to see what moderately popular indie platformer gets a low budget Bubsy reskin in 2020.
