  • After starring in what was considered one of the worst games ever made, Bubsy ended his career for 21 years. What happened? Is Bubsy 3D even REALLY that bad?

    Thank you for reviewing this game without quitting halfway through or getting obnoxiously angry for comedic effect, no one seems to take a level-headed approach when talking about this game. There were lots of things you brought up that I didn't even know about because other reviewers just lumped under "this game is bad lol," so I appreciate it.
    Also, you did a nice job on that makeup. Often times when I see the bags under the eyes people take it from 1 to 100 in like three shots, but you paced it out so that you had to be paying attention to even notice the progression in the first place.

And yet with all that research under his belt he still doesn't sound like a professional or a know-it-all (in the best way possible). I think that's why I like Nitro so much. His reviews are like if your best friend just beat a game and started telling you their genuine thoughts on it.

      I'll be honest, I love AVGN, but he has been outmatched since his golden age. I still watch his current stuff which definitely shows his improvements, and occasionally visit his older stuff, but there is a lot more talent to choose from nowadays, and I think Nitro Rad is a great example of that.
      He's fun, he's witty, and the attention to detail he gives each game he reviews is tenouttaten, and in more tactful phrasing, he's relatable rather than opressively professional like someone from IGN, and not overly obnoxious like JonTron's review.
      I love JonTron, but he's one of the many who gave up early, where Nitro Rad actually pushed to the end of Bubsy 3D for us plebs to enjoy his misery, as well as the ass that is the rest of the game.
      If you end up reading this Nitro, keep up the good work man, you are one of a kind. :)

      Takeshi Kujo they were probably made entirely of America’s got talent judges because the only thing this game has going for it is a sad backstory. Like, we’ve all been in that situation, we think we’re doing something new and original only to discover that you have a much better competitor that overshadows you in every way, and if There’s anything judges like it’s a sad backstory. Still doesn’t make it good though. It’s like if big rigs was all the homeless lone developer could code before they died of cancer. It’d still be a shit game either way.

IIRC they also gave Bug Riders a good review. Unfortunately most people don't know how shittacular they were, apart form popping up on bad games boxes in quotes, or in other magazines, with good quotes and stamps of approval on bad games.

      @Gungho73 4 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      @@NegiWhite Something that is important to note is as goofy as it sounds looking at this, their goal was a bit different then other platformers. Because their know how of 3D was limited (due to having no prior experience with controls or tools for drawing environments in 3D) their goal was to make it the highest resolution possible and try their best to work from there. Unfortunately in doing so, they took most of the memory that should've been dedicated to other real time tasks, and it ended up hurting the project throughout the cycle. That sounds easy to rectify, but in reality when you're talking about having to learn on the fly a new system, console, etc. and then release the game slightly over a year after the original NA release of the console (while also working on a difficult to develop for Saturn version they ultimately canned) it makes sense why it came out the way it did. Accolade refused to budge on that release date and it hurt the game.
      There is one benefit though. Often we hear about "if we had another crack at it" or "the lessons we learned..." in terms of optimistic positivity towards failed projects. But in Bubsys case, they actually did, and its crazy to think the team that made Siphon Filter learned so much from a game so critically panned after its release.
      Small comment for those interested; some designers on the team HATED bubsy with a passion and made fun of him snarkily as they did their work back in those days prior to 3D.

    Fun fact: The developer of this game was purchased by Sony Interactive Entertainment in the late 1990s and was renamed to Bend Studio. This studio would go on to develop the Siphon Filter series for the PS1 and PS2, Uncharted: Golden Abyss for the PS Vita, and are currently developing Days Gone for the PS4.

    I think in hindsight this game just proves how much of a miracle Super Mario 64 is. They got so much right when flying completely blind, doing something that nobody else had done before. Even now, with 25 years of experience, 3D platformers are pretty rare events in gaming, because they are devilishly difficult to make - indeed, surprisingly few developers have ever topped that initial offering in 1996.

I have a lot of respect for you for actually playing through the entire game though to give a proper review unlike most reviewers.
    Also, from what I've heard, Bubsy 3D was originally supposed to be a Sega 32X game, which explains the lack of textures in the graphics. They still could've updated the graphics when releasing it on PS1, though.
