For me, the criticism comes from a place for retread fatigue. I'm tired of remakes in general, and in this case, even if they can make a good Bubsy game, why make a Bubsy game instead of a new IP?

Obviously, the answer is that it brings instant attention to the project thanks to Bubsy's notoriety while lowering expectations by association. It's not a path that engages someone like me who is content to spend his money on old games instead. I'd be far more interested in a truly new project than another remake or re-imagining of anything nonetheless a property I never dug in the first place... and I'm not one of these hipster folks intrigued by the irony of bringing back a crap IP triumphantly. Not calling anyone out there, either, just saying why I don't care.
