I will share what some of my ideas for Bully 2 are, it's such a great franchise and I really do hope Rockstar will continue with it.
I think the protagonist of the game should still be Jimmy Hopkins, he was a very likeable character and tough as nails. It would be cool if the setting of the game moved to a different location as to Bullworth, in the storyline his mother could pull him out of Bullworth and send him somewhere else for a better education or something like that. It would be awesome if the new city was split into four different sections, and each section had it's own school district which then had unique new clique factions. That's just the general idea of it, but either way I would still be happy if the game were still to be set in Bullworth, as long as the game town is way bigger and there is at least one other rival school.
Some of my other ideas are:
- Addition of more NPC's into the game, I felt in Bully that there weren't really enough people around the school, so I feel they should a lot more cliques into the game as well as teachers and prefects.
- Some kind of social system where you gain the favor of an individual by talking to them or helping them with something they need. Perhaps there can be some kind of buddy system where you can become someones friend and hang out and do activities with them, sort of similar to GTA IV but you know... Doing kids stuff. Also Jimmy should be able to choose a girlfriend and go out on dates, and even have the option to try and two-time with the chance of getting caught by the other girl, that would be a laugh.
- Definitely a way bigger environment, with the advances to gaming since the PS2, Rockstar should be able to create a much bigger and more interactive environment. If they decide to go with Bullworth as the location again, the school should be expanded, such as the main building and the boys/girls dorm rooms. Another idea is that they could add another floor to the main building and have that new space become the new dorm rooms, and split it into two sections. They should add a new baseball field into the game, and also an actual swimming pool (with water this time) and have swimming based events.
- Give Jimmy the option to join the recreational groups, for instance Jimmy could go talk to the new gym teacher and request to join either the football team, baseball team or the wrestling team and add new minigames for them. There should also be other choices asides from sports such as joining the chess club or astronomy club or something like that, just an idea I had floating around.
- There should definitely be at least one rival school, or more than one if possible, which will open new storyline options such as playing pranks on them or screwing up their events and so on.
- Tougher and more boss fights!
- I think they should scrap the class system they had in Bully and go with a grading system, for example say you have a range of classes (6 or so) and the more you attend those classes the more your grade will improve. With this teachers will also give homework which Jimmy will have to spend a little time on in order to get his grades up. Rewards could also be given for good grades, and punishment for bad grades such as detention and whatnot. Just another idea I had up there.
- I'm not sure how I would feel about cars being in the game, I've noticed it's a frequent topic here. Maybe through the game there will be a storyline mission where Jimmy has to attend a driving school course kind of thing, and once you pass all the tests throughout the year you will receive your drivers license and finally be able to drive a car (and purchase one) that would be pretty sweet.
That's about all I feel like writing right now haha
but I will definitely add more to this when I think of them. Please share your thoughts and ideas with me as well.
