Can the Bubsy franchise be saved?

Can the Bubsy franchise be saved?

Who even owns it these days?

Tommo bought it from the Atari bankruptcy auction

>Released the original game on Steam last year.
>Still got canned for being a blatant emulated port of the SNES version.
I dunno know, user.

What could possibly go wrong?

OH BOY A MEME THREAD.

WHAT CAN PAWSIBLY GO WRONG?

>Tommo
Doesn't that kinda mean another game will never ever be made? Tommo doesn't seem to actually make games, just re release old ones

I mean, yes and no. Tommo are in the business of exploiting IPs. It's fair to assume anyone interested could get a license from Tommo for cheap because it's fucking Bubsy.

Man I've actually been wondering about how much the liscence to bubsy must cost for a while now. On the one hand it's an IP that was never good and is now infamous for being awful, but on the other hand it's pretty well known because of how bad Bubsy 3D was. Does it's infamy give it value as an IP?

Well, they did release Bubsy 1 and 2 as a combo pack on Steam a little while back. If enough people buy it, they may consider releasing the Jaguar version on Steam too.

They licensed a SNES emulator from someone. Doubt there's a Jaguar emulator that's licensible in the same way.

>Does it's infamy give it value as an IP?

Probably not a whole lot, outside of a few people wanting to play Bubsy 3D just to see how bad it is. Not saying the series was ever really super good, but 3D did kinda killed any chances of it getting another game that may have been decent. Bubsy is most likely doomed to attract ad revenue to YouTube review celebs like Jontron.

There's only one way Bubsy is relevant anymore, as Gex's gay life partner.

Daww, that's cute af

What's the deal with that anyways?

I loved the first Bubsy as a kid. It really isn't that bad of a game. You just have to give it a chance. The sequels are all trash though. It would be a childhood dream come true to get the rights to make an official Bubsy game.

Try contacting them with a pitch. What could possibly go wrong?

They met in a bargin bin and fell in love.

They should just make a Conker's Bad Fur Day type game with him. He's already trash so why not?

Make a platformer with not-clusterfucker levels, actual good psychics and decent field of vision. I don't even mind the retarded jokes or the non stop talking, what bothers me more is jumping and falling in some enemy you can't see or worse, jumping and bumping your head in some enemy you cannot see because he was in a level above you and you cannot move the camera like in Mario or Sonic games to see what is ahead or down/above

Now this is a good idea

>Try contacting them with a pitch. What could pawsibly go wrong?

Fixed.

found you

me?

Bubsy is pretty far up the ladder og franchises I'd love to fuck around with.

It'd be possible to make a game that utilized what little was ever good, added on top of it, and poked hearty fun at all the shit.

Now that the dust has settled, can we all agree that Bubsy 3D is a hidden gem?

Whatever the IP holders decide to do, do NOT give the IP to that one mentally ill fag.

One SA goon streamed Bubsy and Gex.

I actually really liked Gex.

I think it would make a ton of sense for the Yooka-Laylee folks to do that for their next game. Lets them reuse the work from their engine but create something a bit different

WE'RE GOING TO BRING BACK BUBSY

THEN WE'LL BRING BACK GEX

THEN CROC

THEN ZOOL

THEN RISTAR

THEN RADICAL REX

AND THEN WE'LL GET JAZZ JACKRABBIT AND TITUS THE FOX AND MARCH RIGHT UP TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

HYAAAAAAAAAH!

I have literally not played Gex. Or Ty for that matter.

This does make want to play Clockwork Knight for the first time in like two decades and the first time properly.

>Radical Rex

That game would do so fucking well in today's culture of irony. I can already see the hundreds of youtubers with their "A T-REX ON A SKATEBOARD? THATS A W E S O M E" intros.

Also it was one of my most played childhood games

>Croc
Shit, that was my jam

What the fuck is the bubsy franchise?

It was just 24 hours of Gex for gExtralife but a joke about Bubsy and Gex hanging out with other failed mascot platofmer characters lead to the two getting shipped all night.
