What will happen to Bully?
« on: January 03, 2014, 06:03:26 AM »
I wonder...
With RockstarGames working in their secret Area 51-base, I can't help but to wonder what would happen if Bully 2 got released.
Would the old classic be forgotten in the dust, whilst milions of new members rush over to Bully 2, stepping on Bully 1 in their path?

Jimmy, Gary, Pete, Zoe... and all of those other muppets... Just forgotten in the shadows.  :unsure:
.. Or! Will it get a huge boost and a larger fanbase than ever before?

What do you guys think?

Anything could happen, really. Is it possible that the classical Bully 1 will be forgotten and stomped on? Absolutely. If Bully 2 is marketed and spread around well enough (And considering it's R*, they most likely will....) It will bring in a large flock of fans stumbling onto communities, and, in action, also stumbling onto BB.

I mean...... When GTA V was released, did anyone give two fucks about GTA IV?..... No, not really. However, Bully, largely unpopular with lots of people, (even to R* fans), it's possible that people WILL go and play the first Bully to quench their first for the second one.  :ajajaxh5:

I'm also interested in how modding Bully 2 will go.  :ajajaxh5: (If they release it on PC.....)  :ajajaxh5:

I think, and have always said, that it will be a completely new game, new location, new characters.

^ I'm pretty sure SWEGTA didn't mean how Bully 2 will BE like as a game, but rather the community of Bully and how the it will evolve.

Be that as it may, just how many of those will have even played Bully 1 after all this time (7+ years) ?

The former characters will get trampled in the dustbin of video history.

That's what I'm hoping for.  My preference is to see Jimmy return as protagonist.  I don't see any reason for Rockstar to replace him - he's young, his voice actor is still game, and there's a lot of great places his story could go.

I think Bully is popular enough that a lot of Bully 2 players will have already played the first game.  If they have similar characters, I guarantee the 1st game will see renewed popularity.  If its a total reboot, who knows.  My experience is that the percentage of people interested in playing the original game of a revived franchise is quite small.

I don't think it'll be buried. Bully will always remain a classic, its like GTA4 with GTA5, people will remember it and possibly cherish it in the future. I'd like to see a refrence to the last game in Bully 2, maybe one of the students at the school switches schools or somthing

San Andreas is by for the most popular GTA in my opinion.
HUGE modding community which is still increadibly active to this day.. Video makers posting video after video and getting thousands of views..

Most GTA games never really get forgotten.

I'd still play Bully 1. It's a classic and  is my favourite game in the whole world. Oh and it'd feel a bit weird not playing Jimmy, I love him haha. T___T

I really hope that R* stays true to the combat and stuff, I like how Bully's fighting mechanics work. I mean, GTA V's combat is awesome but I don't think Bully needs to follow suit.

Well, I don't think as kids they would be allowed to murder other kids (or adults) for that matter.  That takes it out of the realm of just being a teen game and puts it in the crowded field of many other games where the whole thrust is to just kill something.  True, many of my favorite games are the ones where the player kills something (Manhunt, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dino Crisis, etc.), but I remember the times where there were some video games where the focus wasn't on killing.  Bully is unique in that nobody is actually 'killed' and removed from the game, but one is allowed to shoot (with non-lethal weapons) and temporarily disable their opponents.  That should be carried on, and Bully shouldn't become just a GTA clone.
