WTF?! Why would they bring this character back after it failed the 16bit & 32bit days? I guess it was an easy license to aquire because of its bad reputation and they think they can revive the series. Good luck... ( --__ -- )

I actually have it wish-listed as Black forest games are a solid developer!

Hmmm... Are they hoping to fix the franchise so that it'll actually be enjoyable? Cashing in on the infamy?

So Bubsy is getting a release here, but not Sonic Mania? This reality sucks.

Steam is getting this too, but they also have the first two Bubsy titles. GOG dodged a bullet there, give them credit for that :)

It's not aimed at not deserve to be at GOG but there are games that might or would fit better on GOG but for some reason will never be on GOG.

I remember the game after seeing the video.... wow that game was not very good when it was released (not talking about bad bugs or bad devs or anything like that) this game is another platformer and a extremely fast one , i had a few platform games and platformers are usually running at hyperspeed, things are happening way to fast and the entire screen is usally laoded with flying bullets lightnings or whatever, its just not releaxing.

Anyway i dont really favor platform games but a platform game can be also more like a puzzle game, hard to explain but the default platformer is always running on hyperspeed and i rather have more relaxing games.

Sonic Mania is from same dev team/ publisher? If so, don't forget that a dev/publisher is not forced to release all his games, there are plenty games that are everywhere on the internet but not at GOG, it seems the dev/publisher of Secret Files games and Lost horizon is here at GOG but they do not have all games here, seems 'good old steam' always gets favored.

Why does every dev/publisher love steam?

Steam is uber control of the game and most new Steam games use steam_api and with that file they add and control a lot ( put restrictions on games) they check if steam is running, if you are logged in off or ONline , and after those checks they also check with some new games if you have an active internet that is: is you isp up or down?
If your ISP is down , or your cable isnt working properl or you just disabled internet from withing windows, then another check will say there is no connection... and the publisher just love all that protection gives them a feeling of being safe.

Anyway, personally all these steam checkups are annoying, cause it severely destroys your gaming fun, cause with drm free you start the game and voila kets game, with steam the steam seems to check/verify files at least once a day, during that you cannot play....

Huh. I guess I didn't keep up with public criticism. I remember really enjoying the first game on my SNES and, unlike the review linked earlier, I didn't have a problem with the controls due to Bubsy's inertia; I just kept practicing until I got better. Compared to all the other dreck available at the time, Bubsy was a breath of fresh air. It had personalty, and the "movie set" levels were clever, fun, and different.

The second one I rented and didn't like. I didn't know there were more sequels after that, so this announcement seems to be for a game that is unnecessary. I wouldn't mind a reboot, though.

Hardball baseball game do you know that game? c64 had it or AMIGA i think both
If you Google Accolade Games you will see a scrollbar with images of games
you can scroll through.


i assume the images will always be the same or maybe they are put up random

What a purrfect thread. I'm sure that this Bubsy won't be a catastrophe, ohoho!

Everyone who is mature enough should live and let live. Bubsy isn't even the worst the SNES had to offer and there is no point to bashing a game other than telling people on why its lackluster compared to other games of a similar genre. But if you can make a game like Bubsy look easy and be positive about the game, surely a lot of people would actually agree that the game seems not so bad looking and the gameplay can actually be decent and neat. Not to mention the atmospheric aspect of it, like you said, a game like Bubsy can be seen as a breath of fresh air to some/many.

The same would go for the opposite of course, though it would never happen because fanboys would immediately jump in to defend the game in an angry manner. People seem to be compelled to defend their fair maiden no matter what. Everyone should be allowed to like or not enjoy certain games. Its not like everyone should feel the same about certain games all the time, that would just be stupid.

The truth is, even if Bubsy is gonna be a 5/10 game which I thought the first Bubsy was, yet people are still allowed to like it way more than me. Everyone has their own unique reasons to value games their way and even if these numbers were something to get mad over and 5/10 would still mean around avarage, which isn't even bad as some people like to say. That would be a 2.5 star rating, a rounded 3 star rating if we use GOG scale. Thats actually not a bad score either.

Personally, I used to act like some fanboy all the time but in reality, who really cares about these things other than those with a major case of confirmation bias.

Indeed, they were some of the greatest hits for the Playstation back then and also some of my favourite action games in general, at least until the release of Splinter Cell that surpassed them in every way, which also found to be the only game that looked Metal Gear Solid in the eyes (although there's no comparison between SC & MGS; even if they're both stealth games, they're quite different both on gameplay terms and style).

That would be fine. If Bubsy had remained a singular, mediocre SNES game. But there were multiple sequels, each increasingly worse than the last. Bubsy II resolved the issue of dying by one hit sure. But then it introduced labyrinths that would make most JRPGs blush. Bubsy Fractured Fairy Tails was more of the same, but worse. Plus, it got rid of the hit points.

And then, there's Bubsy 3D. The N64 had Superman 64, the Playstation has Bubsy 3D. Massive stains on what are otherwise wonderful libraries of games. Exhaustive archaeological work has been done to explain why and how things went wrong with Bubsy 3D, so I shan't bother.
That's because visually speaking, Knack 2 has all the visual flair of an undecorated Sackboy.

What's even crazier is that all those games were produced by Michael Berlyn, one of the big shots at Infocom. He did games like Suspended, Infidel, and then went on to stuff like Tass Times in Tonetown. It's often weird seeing where those old programming greats end up.

It's easier for Steam to get the latest Sonics, they're old Sega 'friends'.
It'd be reasonable to expect the very old games here (which Mania isn't, it just kinda looks like one), like Sonic the Hedgehog 1, which is available pretty much anywhere.
DotEmu was capable of convincing SEGA to join them (for a time, at least), and they're a tiny store compared to Gog.
Sonic games which were available at DotEmu (please let me know if I forgot one):
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sonic Spinball
Sonic 3D Blast

Yeh that voice grates badly. Will get old real fast for me. Needs a volume control badly!

Bubsy, i thought he stopped being relevant since that 3D abomination
