      actually plenty of people did in fact like the first two Bubsy games so you are dead wrong about them "not approaching the realm of good" in fact they actually got pretty decent reviews back in the day, i'll gladly defend the first two games on my goddamn deathbed. I'm surprised to hear at how many people never made it past the first world on the first game, I actually beat that game as kid several times, guess I was way better at games as a kid then I thought.
      I found a trick that makes the game a lot easier at least on Genesis-use your thumb to hit both the A and B buttons at the same time so that way you get the high jump with the glide.

    Paws on Fire has a very interesting development history that wasn't covered here, but to put it simply, it was outsourced to Choice Provisions, makers of the indie darling Bit.Trip series. It makes a whole lot more sense knowing that Atari likely found a cheap but successful development studio and said "make it like your best selling game" hence the no effort auto runner.
    Though to be fair, Choice Provisions also did essentially the same thing for a League of Legends game they were making, so its hard to say the auto runner is a failing of Atari or the one trick pony style of Choice Provisions.

    I can explain a few things regarding Bubsy 3D. For the controls, they pulled from Jumping Flash, which many consider to be the first 3D platformer (it's not the absolute first, but the first that was an actual game). That game had similar tank controls and was lauded as being innovative and boundary-pushing, as it predates Super Mario 64 by about 2 years. The controls aren't exactly the same, though. I daresay the controls in Jumping Flash are tighter and there's weight. It's also worth noting that the game is played in first-person.
    As for why it was released the way it was? Well, Michael Berlyn (creator of Bubsy and producer of Bubsy 3D) thought they were being innovative, since 3D platforming was still in its infancy at the time. It was to have fully 3D exploration. But when Nintendo showcased Super Mario 64 at the 1996 Consumer Electronics Show, he instantly knew Bubsy 3D was the inferior game. He wanted to delay the game so i could be refined and compete with SM64, but Accolade insisted on releasing the game as scheduled, as they already suck a lot of time, money, and resources into the game. To start over or delay the game would prove disasterous, so they had to make due given the circumstances.
    Apparently, the game was considered "average" at the time. Though, again, 3D platformers were in their infancy, so there wasn't a whole lot to compare it to.

    • @neoqwerty
      @neoqwerty 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      They did recycle the 2P mode projectile control stuff for a later game after polishing it, IIRC, so Bubsy 3D wasn't a COMPLETE loss. It's just that the best mechanic they had was the most underutilized one.
      Also part of the issue was that they wanted HUGE levels with HUGE draw distance, and the devkit test stations had more power than the retail consoles, which led to having to remove all textures, and the levels being so barren and landmark-less. If the devkits weren't more powerful than the retail console I think they would probably have had better feature spotlighting and pruning, instead of wasting time on things that worked on the devkit and not retail.
      Bubsy 3D was a lot more of a tragedy than people suspect it was, it was like they got smacked with the PS1 dev exclusive version of Murphy's Law.

    Fun(?)fact: Bubsy on the Genesis has a different cartridge shape than most other games on the Genesis. Not many games used this shape, but a few companies used it for one reason. The standard cartridge was part of Sega's licensing costs, which some companies, namely EA, didn't like and reverse engineered the Genesis and its cartridges to make their own games. This is kind of a sign of companies just wanting to sell a product for cheap, rather than quality. It's not exactly foolproof, but a good way to know if a Genesis game is terrible is if it has a similar cartridge to the EA games, with or without the odd yellow piece on the side.

      Another fun (?) fact: Because Accolade were cheap bastards, they published a large amount of their Genesis games without a license by reverse engineering the lockout code on the console. After Sega found out and sued them for it, Accolade filed an appeal and WON the case leading to a landmark decision that still affects companies to this very day regarding reverse-engineering. So you can thank them for that too I guess

      Also because Sega required quality control for the license before allowing games to get to manufacture, and each re-evaluation costs money and time.
      You can hear GameHut talk about why the Level Select code triggers when there's an error loading a level on Flicky 3D Island, where the devs "disguised" the error trap level select code as a "secret bonus", so if the SEGA testers found a bug they'd think it was a feature and it wouldn't need another round of evaluation stalling them.

One of the funniest that sticks in my head was when I was gliding and a manhole cover came flying up from the ground and sent me crashing to the ground only to land in one of the cars that carry you away. It was really funny at the time but I was never able to recreate it.

    @gimok2k5 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I am probably one of like twelve people that actually enjoy playing Bubsy 1. Partially because I learned how to control the thing (Basically always hold the glide button and don't try to constantly run). But once you do, it's a platformer that's not too bad in most ways, and somewhat enjoyable at times. And if you do progress, you even learn that the devs put in some effort with the various worlds.
    For example a general thing most of them got: The levels are LAYERED. You got two or three routes on every level where you regularly can swap at certain points (down is usually easier and may happen by accident).
    Along with that, each world got their own gimmick, too.
    The first world is a plain grass land from whatever 16-bit-platformer you want, with the mentioned layers (ground VS floating platforms and waterslides). Second is an amusement part (lower level is flat but got more enemies, upper level is a platform chaos on a rollercoaster you can sometimes ride). The wild west is not layered, but each level is split in two...
    Also, despite people claim that, in Bubsy 1, he is *NOT* chatty. He spews a one-liner every time you load (re)start level, and that's it. No mid-level-commentary.

    You can glide in Bubsy 3D by just holding the triangle button. You can even break this by holding select for a second during the glide (while still holding triangle) to get infinite jumps/height, making the glide insanely overpowered... Just don't do it over water. You'll die instantly because the game acts like you've landed for a moment and it uses the properties of the surface directly below you during the said moment.

  • @Nightmare-kn6ee
    @Nightmare-kn6ee วันที่ผ่านมา

    To be honest in my opinion i feel like Bubsy could still have a chance at Bei successful, that is if they were to make him less annoying/have him talk less or they could tone down his ego and make him more considerate and caring towards for his friends, family and pet, and instead of him taking only one hit to lose a life, they could have the yarn balls he collects work like they do in Sonic where he loses some but has a chance to collect them back, it would make sense for the yarn balls to bounce on the stage as that is what would happen if you were to drop them on the ground. They could also let him climb walls since that's what Bobcats actually can do, they could probably also let Bubsy have some kind of camouflage move to sneak past enemies for a short distance, since Bobcats also camouflage themselves to sneak on prey. And if they were to get rid of his gliding ability they could also have Bubsy jump a little bit higher instead since he's a cat and they're known jumping and pouncing, but I doubt they'd get rid of his gliding ability. Anyway these are some of the things I think could make Bubsy a more liked and successful video game character.

  • @darienb1127

    Fun(?) Fact about Bubsy's Devs: Pretty much everyone who worked on Bubsy hated Bubsy. When the team got around to Bubsy 2, they were so fed up with it that they got their aggression out by sticking pencils through Bubsy plushies, and were hanging them via a noose. And these were special plushies that were only given to the staff as well, so you KNOW they hated it.

    20:38 Ive been playing Bubsy 3D you can actually start gliding without jumping by holding the triangle button I know because for the first 3 levels I knew Bubsy could glide but couldnt figure out how until I looked it up (no this is not explained in the manual either you kind of just have to figure it out if you don't look it up) im right before the second boss fight and havent had to use it outside of those fans and the first boss that said the Jump combined with the strong ledge grab make it useless during regular platforming
    Edit: when you want to glide on the fans you have to have his shadow be over them and the shadow is locked to right below Bubsy's feet
