Bully 2 Discussion / Re: Bully 2 – Senior Year

The only thing that's true on that article was Dan Houser's quote, “We didn’t forget about Bully." Everything else is not. As c00ld0c26 said, this would have been everywhere if it were true. In fact, this forum would be flooded with new members if it were.

These are promotional shots, not beta. These where given to gaming sites and magazines publishers to promote and review Bully. It's still looks cool.

I put together a video proving which is the fastest and it shouldn't come to anyone's surprise.

I setup a race between the two, the starting point began at the garage and ending at the entrance of the schools driveway. It was a fun experiment.

Bully 2 Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts on a possible spiritual successor?

« on: July 05, 2015, 04:21:02 AM »

I voted "No. But it forcees R* to make a new bully.".
The reason being that, if there were to be a bully "remake", that is somehow similar to bully and not by rockstar, I don't actually think it would ever be as good. But that being said, if someone did make something like that, rockstar would know that many people are still waiting and want bully 2, and they possibly would... Make a new bully, which we all want.

Spiritual Successors doesn't mean remake. Allow me to show you some examples.

• Mighty No. 9 is the spiritual successor to Mega Man.
• Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a successor to Castlevania; Symphony of the Night.
• Yooka-Laylee is a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie.

I believe the skateboard is faster but only slightly. The real use for skateboards in my opinion is it takes the stress from your thumbs. Other than that, it's really no use for me for several reasons.

If I had to choose between sprinting or skating, I personally prefer to just sprint only because it's easier to maneuver or hop for ledges. Another reason I prefer sprinting is because the skateboard in Bully feels unnatural mainly due to the fact that the handling is very loose. Of course, I'm someone whose played Tony Hawk Pro Skater most of my teen years. If Bully 2 were to have skateboards, (which I'm sure it will) it should take ques from that game as it feels right.

As for your question about whether there were two Jimmy's to race, one with a skateboard and the other sprinting. I think the only real way to find out is if someone records it and time it.

Bully 2 Discussion / What are your thoughts on a possible spiritual successor?

For those who aren't aware, lately the gaming scene are losing great titles and franchises due to poor sales or bad business practices. Today’s publishers/developers are playing it safe by churning out the same 'ol games like COD, Assassin's Creed, etc. Some titles are so long gone such as Mega Man or Castlevania, we will never know if they will ever be acknowledged properly again. And although Bully is still in the mindset of Rockstar, I sometimes feel we may not see a new one until much later.

But, what if someone out there was thinking about developing a game based of the ideas of Bully and started their own franchise. Similar to how GTA has it's copycats/competitors, would it be that difficult to do just that for Bully?

And as fans of Bully, that question is asked to you. Would you support such a title? If a studio launched a Kickstarter tomorrow proposing to make a spiritual successor or just a game in general based on the concepts of Bully, would you fund it?

Now this isn't the real question, but I feel the community should discuss this idea. I would like to see your opinions on the subject. Perhaps share your ideas for a spiritual successor if you may. This is open for discussions.

NOTE: A spiritual successor does not mean you can make a game called "Bully" using the characters that are owned my Rockstar. It means to create a new world and new story based on the original content without crossing the copyright/trademark red-line.

Introduce Yourself / Hi All

  Hello I'm new here and I've been a huge fan of Bully. Finding a forum dedicate to the franchise is stellar and great place to talk to fellow fans of such an awesome game.

I first got Bully for the PS2 and loved it. Of course as time goes on, I eventually sold it along with a lot of my other game, so I was absent of one of my favorite games. It was until I one trip to my local game store (not Gamestop neh) I spotted the Scholarship Edition and instantly filled with nostalgia. Since I already had a 360, I bought the copy and play the living hell out of it.

I'm happy to be here to discuss Bully and I hope to be here to share the hype when a new Bully title is announce with the rest of the fandom.
