Eh, I've never liked the first 2 Bubsy games, even slightly. The controls were terrible, the physics were terrible, the level design was pretty bad and they were just not fun to play. If they didn't have fall damage or terrible enemy placement I wouldn't dislike them that much, though. They are one of those games where you can't say they are good unless you know nothing about game design (aka you're a kid) or you're dumb (aka you're a kid). I didn't play the 3rd one but it looks almost same with first 2 anyways. And then there's the legend Bubsy 3D, but everyone knows how amazing it is.
And honestly, while we didn't see much gameplay, I still have somewhat low expectations. First of all, the gameplay doesn't look very Bubsy like at all. The level design is completely different than the previous games, and Bubsy doesn't control like himself. In the original games, Bubsy was really slippery, fast and somewhat hard to control due to his broken physics. Here it's the complete opposite, stiff, slow and simple. While I prefer stiff and slow over fast and uncontrollable, now the game looks like a Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams sequel with a Bubsy skin. I wanted to say the environments look decent at least, but the character models and the lighting look like they are from an early Xbox 360 game, and the animations are just blegh.
But hey, at least it seems like it plays a lot like Twisted Dreams, which was way more fun than every single Bubsy game, but I also didn't think it was THAT great. So yeah...
EDIT: I think that only reason this game exists is that Black Forest Games needed a new IP for their new game, and they chose Bubsy because it's a somewhat popular meme now. They knew they couldn't sell a game with an original IP. And considering my Twitter timeline is full of Bubsy, I'm pretty sure it worked.
