Oh Yeah, Let’s Talk Bubsy 4D

When Gamescom kicked off this week, I’m pretty sure my jaw dropped at the same time as everyone else’s discovered the Bubsy 4D reveal. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good surprise as much as the next person, especially if it involves the turbo-charged feline. But seeing those old-school names up there alongside “Platformer” made me gasp. Bubsy games had… interesting history.

Remember when Bubsy felt like a fun platform experience back in the day? Those early games actually earned some kudos in the platformer world. But then the whole series hit the skids with Bubsy 3D in 1996 felt like our hopes getting squashed by a runaway shopping cart. Kid, let’s just say that one shipped with fewer sparkles and more criticism than a disappointed lemur.

And it didn’t get any more promising over the last decade. Tell me you haven’t heard the term “Bubsy Ruined My Saturday.” Yeah, I thought so. These recent efforts were just keeping the franchise alive when nobody was watching. But you know what? I have a feeling this newly announced Bubsy 4D could be different.

Because a lot of people were curious: Here’s me playing the same Bubsy 4D level without trying speedrun it.

I haven’t touched a controller in weeks and I’m seriously excited about this. The gameplay from the Gamescom reveal shows movement that actually works – guaranteed to make you want to charge through a hedge for 45 minutes straight. Plus, can someone explain this Bubsy 4D outfit that does a Sonic reference? And I have to be honest, he actually looks like he’s having fun playing the game itself.

Fun fact, Bubsy 4D has fully voiced cutscenes cus’ why not!

Wait a minute… fully voiced cutscenes? Please tell me I didn’t just wake up dreaming this part. Tracking down the developer Fabraz is like trying to find a perfect parking spot in downtown Tokyo – you know they’re good or you wouldn’t hear about their indie platformers in gaming nerd circles. From what we’ve seen, a stylish purple feline character isn’t going to embarrass the player, let’s just say that.

The music seems solid too. And the gameplay bursts with that colorful, chaotic energy we love in a good platformer. Being almost a year away from release doesn’t quite prepare me for how close it feels like we’ll actually have a chance to try this extended demo remotely. Not fair, I tell you. A genuinely promising Bubsy game in 2025?

You better believe I’ll be winking my green visor at Bubsy 4D the minute it arrives. In the meantime, keeping an eye (or maybe my wallet) on the wishlist counters for when Fabraz makes their game available across various consoles and PCs.
