Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back (also known as Bubsy PS4 or Bubsy 4 [even though I guess it should technically be Bubsy 5 but now we're going deeper than Bubsy deserves]) is a 2017 revival of one of the most annoying and worst mascot platformer characters in history. Nobody liked Bubsy that much to begin with, especially after Bubsy 3D on the PS1 - and nowadays, because of memes, he's back in a new sidescroller on PS4 and PC. Not Xbox One, though. They got lucky. Gameplay here was recorded in 1080p, 60fps via NVidia Shadowplay. Not that it deserves it. He deserves nothing.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What could paw-ssibly go wrong?

[@n0vercast56]

Possibly Everything.

[@Segvent]

You not making a video on Tails Adventure. That's what could go wrong. :V

Let me answer your question with another question. What could paw-ssibly go right?

[@flamingdragon1527]

You never make it to a million subscribers.

[@MunzMikeel]

Bubsy going 3D again

[@Rie-Vinaca]

Fun fact: during the creation of Bubsy 2 the devs would quote him to piss each other off because they HATED him

[@gaspardp7314]

I'm not even gonna fact check this, I'll just accept it as absolute truth

[@tylerfindlay3774]

That certainly explains a lot.

[@the-voyager]

Also they used to hang and tore apart bubsy plushies

[@tylerfindlay3774]

Pietro Gamermaster So, my question is, if absolutely no one, not even the developers, liked Bubsy, WHY BRING HIM BACK?!

[@_V.Va_]

@@tylerfindlay3774 Because they suffered at his paws, so they want us to suffer too by drudging up his corpse.

[@TheGrayMysterious]

I must say, I've heard of a monitor suffering burn-in, but never a GAME. Bubsy has legitimately impressed me by somehow creating a new graphical phenomenon.

I had a lovely chat with the game's composer. Mostly because the music was arguably the best aspect of the game. I asked "Bubsy, why do you gotta have such catchy tunes?" And the composer was like "Why not?"

[@Mini_Squatch]

Okay Caddy so the wool is spun from the golden fleece, a legendary artefact of Greek Mythology from a flying ram sent by Zeus to save a couple of his bastard children or some shit. But for the record, gold is not stiff. At room temperature, it is incredibly malleable - to the point that large quantities of pure gold can easily deform under their own weight.

[@thesalsaguy4395]

Uh... I think he slaughtered it? I don't know. Bubsy refuses to die anyway.

[@ShogunTurnip]

What could possibly go wrong? I'd say accidentally sending £15 to your landlord. That could go wrong.

[@karolinks5718]

Shogun_Turnip I think it was what he said about Stanley as a text.

[@UberMan5000]

Do you want a good version of this game with actual interesting gameplay and art direction? It's called Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. It's got a cool character-switching mechanic, features the return of some cult-classic game characters people actually like, and it's by the same developers as this, except they actually tried. Also, I think it's a nice touch that, whenever you're sponsored by BetterHelp, you use one of the songs from Celeste, a game with a major focus on depression and mental health. 👌

[@booyaaa272]

And if you aren't SHAKING, then what could go wrong? 'Claws this could be the last time, YOU HEAR THE BUBSY SONG.

[@paperfishstudios3144]

ah i *knew* i recognised that song thank you! yes it was a very fitting choice of music there

[@BugsyFoga]

Look at it this way , if characters like Bubsy can come back from the dead after so many years without a game,it does give hope that characters like Earthworm Jim ,Gex, and Croc can come back as well , so that's a definite positive.

[@hobodefender3476]

This video was fantastic as always, but I have seen playthroughs of this game and that weird disappearing yarn imprint thing was never there. You have evidence, so it is there, but I think you may have been cursed.

[@jasburger]

Caillou Kayloo um no it's not his PC. He just said he can run Far Cry 5 on the highest graphic setting with no issue

[@Minihood31770]

"No don't send it to the landlord no!" That's amazing.

[@NekoTamer15]

When I first saw the collectables disappearing when you got close to them, I honestly thought the developers were being clever. Actual house cats can't focus their vision within one foot. Maybe the same for bobcats? But then you found the glitched layer. That cleverness was in fact incompetency

I admit that the original Bubsy is a sort of guilty pleasure of mine. I liked the game as a kid and even today I don't understand why people find it so difficult. Then again I seem to like a lot of these 'unpopular' things... I loved that D&D movie, still do actually lol. But anyway... sounds like this game is just.... plain. Mobile game quality for a full PC game. I think that if it was mixed with the originals in terms of concepts and storytelling and powerups and whatnot it might have been a little better. Not good, no, but a decent enough game for the price.
