Let's hope that Rockstar will work on Bully 2 after the release of GTA 6. I don't think that there will be bigger projects like RDR 3. So that could be a big chance for Bully 2 or Midnight Club.
In my opinion I think they won't because of how much controversy it will bring. The first game had tons of newx coverage of controversy. Some of you may ask "why? All their games bring controversy anyways." Well since it will take place in a school setting and with all the shootings and whatnot happening in the country. I think a school topic would be a uneccesary pain for Rockstar. I could be wrong (I hope I'm wrong) but that's my reason why I think they won't make a sequel.
@@KenzoGamesOfficialI highly doubt this is fake. Sweg is not mrbossftw or sernando and has never mislead his audience or put out anything fake. This is mostlikfully real
@@eyelesscrown7346 I don’t believe it. Any Rockstar fan could’ve come up with this and he was praising the game like it was even a little bit complete. Ive never heard a more model game dev for a fan of a company, plays all the games, 100%’s all the games, calls Max Payne 3 misunderstood etc. Also remember that transphobia in GTA video? Just saying. I got a feeling he made this to give bully 2 believers closure. I would believe this if Swegta provided even a little bit of evidence that this guy was even slightly official but he gave literally nothing not even like a blurred peek at his LinkedIn or anything. Had he shown atleast something to prove it I would believe it. Oh yeah and how did he even get in contact with this guy there is literally no fucking backstory except: oh I interviewed this guy last year and never mentioned it but here you can have it now. However if we are to give Swegta the benefit of the doubt this guy could just be some random ass dude claiming to be the lead of bully 2, if we are to believe that then this guy is bullshitting because hiding his identity would do no good for his NDAs with rockstar that he had to sign, he should not be allowed to talk about this at all if he was the lead and if he was the lead then why would you need to hide his identity he’s already gonna be caught by Rockstar and TakeTwo just because of how high up he was. So he’s like the janitor who cleaned rockstar’s office and got a peek at a bully 2 build once or twice which is what I want to believe because Swegta is pretty reputable but I don’t know. One final note, if you are hiding the identity of a person you’re interviewing especially if there is actual recorded audio of them, you don’t use a text to speech voice you pitch it up or down, that’s how anonymous interviews have always been done.
The beauty of a Bully 2 could be that just like Bully 1, the number of NPCs could be fixed, say, 500, unlike the other Rockstar games where they're randomly generated, this could potentially allow for the creation of extremely in depth relationship systems, way more in depth than GTA or RDR2. Like, you could potentially have a separate reputation meter for every character, and it could be dynamic based on how many times you greet them, insult them or beat em up. Could also lead to hilarious results when you inevitably beat up every single NPC one too many times and now you can't walk around town anymore cause everyone, from little kids to policemen, attacks you on sight
Yeah Looking at what they did with RDR2 was Amazing. The vaierty of NPCs in RDR2 was insane. Seeing what They could do with a smaller scale game would be Amazing. They could even have a branching story for Bully 2 and a faction system.
Rdr1 had something like this, almost every npc roaming the world was a named character with preferences to do things like gambling or working but they didn’t remember you.
Very cool to hear about. Shoot, I played Bully when it first came out in 2006. I was 14. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve played through it by now. So many good memories from that game. Ive always kept an eye and ear out for Bully 2 info but as we all know, it has never come to fruition. Bully fan base is like no other! At this point I would just be happy with a remaster of my favorite game. I’m 30 now and I will still fire it up and play it every now and then. It was my outlet in high school and gosh brings back so many good memories.
This video brought joy to my heart. Just to even know what could of been is dope. I wish it would come to life but the more details we get is beautiful
It’s like genuinely heartbreaking watching this video lmao Bully is such a treasured childhood game of mine and it always seems like the idea of Bully 2 is hanging on a string, this sandbox sounds so amazing
Probably the rarest video we've ever gotten relating to bully, this is fucking sick. Really cool to hear but I hope this doesn't get anybody in trouble.
Let’s hope they don’t give up on Bully. I actually love the game and gameplays. It’s an overlooked game but that’s what makes me love it more. It’s a hidden gem. I hope others will appreciate Bully! You’re the only dedicated person that actually has hope for this Franchise!! I support your support for this project! I hope you’re doing well. Take care of yourself. You are loved by God and your fans!
Hey swegta, dunno if you’ll see this but I’ve been watching your channel a few years and recently decided to finally buy Bully for my iPhone. It’s honestly become my favourite rockstar game (even ahead of rdr2). Just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to the game and hope you’re doing well!
Fuck, he WENT HOME in the sequel?! That would've kicked so much ass dude. Part of me was always extremely curious about Jimmy's home life, so it would've been interesting to see him go back and we'd actually get to see his old friends he grew up with. Also extreme bummer to know Bully 2 still doesn't exist yet was the framework for everything I loved about RDR2's new additions.
@SWEGTA that's amazing and I'm really happy you found it and if I had it I'd pay the light bill in full for you everybody's hurting n struggling but we have a will to fight for what we've earned there is beauty in the dark just don't dwell in there too long trying to find it or else the dark consumes you
I feel like the best option for a direct follow-up would be to have everyone go home to a neighboring town, but then like with RDR2 actually have it be a new game world that neighbors the old one, either through old Bullworth vale or Bullworth town, and then at some point during the main story you would have to return to the academy which has been closed for the summer to do a stealth mission like when you had to break into happy volts asylum during the first game. And the entire academy could be a trespass area and a huge area of interest for old players to re explore. They could include parts of the old map several different ways, they could cut out New Coventry and the industrial district if they wanted or needed to, they could even cut out Bullworth town if they had to. I guess they cut really cut out everything except the academy and have you warp there but, I really think the game would benefit from being connected to the old map so you could walk between them like with RDR2. There are even a few areas preexisting in Bully that show where there is access to somewhere outside the map, like the closed off train tracks, and closed off booth tunnel.
Wow after watching the video the bully 2 he's talking about a sounds like the bully 2 ive dreamt about for the most part. Sounds very interesting. Especially since he said they were going to push the boundary of a teen game.
This was a delight to hear, thanks for this video SWEG, you deserve way more views and subs. The way they described it sounds amazing tbh. Shame we will never get to play it :/ Lets go bowling!
I can honestly say that having it set during the summer time, and be a direct follow-up of the last game are both things I didn't think would be planned but... Both of those ideas only work in conjunction with each other. I couldn't imagine them getting away with not having the setting be in the school itself during the school year, unless it is a direct follow-up with the characters. But then again it is more far fetched that they attempt to make new characters based off of modern times, modern day American schools have become a nightmare and a political shit storm, there is nothing there to be satirical about that you wouldn't be accused of be too accurate and get shut down. It's best to stay with this timeless class that everyone from the 80's to the 2010's can relate to really well.
I have no words, SWEGTA. A millions thanks for you for posting this. This is super interesting and incredible news and I just hope Rockstar seems some sense and remakes this once they are done with VI.
I guess in lieu of a Bully 2 the best thing we can do is rewatch old movies that inspired Rstar games. Like The Goonies, Porky's, Karate Kid, Stand By Me, Kamp Krusty amd Stranger Things.
I’m getting back into bully and man, it’s crazy how a game that came out almost 20 years ago still holds up. That being said, we are long overdue on a sequel. They need to get back to it after gta 6 comes out, there’s so much potential there. And hope u come back to making content I used to watch ur bully vids years ago
Shout out to this lead man 🙌, he had an amazing idea with that extra credit and we needed this as a fresh of breath air in 2013 instead of micro transactios we could've had a Rockstar Certified Classic!!
I wish the Bully franchise were long running with 7 sequels. Three of them taking place after Jimmy's Freshmen year (Softmore, Junior, and Senior); and four more taking place in Bullworth University (and has M-ratings).
Interesting but I can see how a non-school setting clashed with the whole premise. I always felt like they could have returned to Jimmy in college dealing with the fraternities and sororities instead of cliques lol
As a fellow person unhealthy obsessed with everything Bully and would do foul things for a sequel, im So thankful for this channel and that every time I go down the bully rabbit hole , I can almost guarantee that swegta has some type of new bully video posted , and without repeating and recycling the same old bs - even tho the game is over a decade old. great work swegta and your work is truly appreciated, I know I’m not the only one who feels this way too
The bigger we get and longer we keep this community of bully lovers alive and the better chance we’re recognized and possibly even influence a sequel one day. It’s hard to hold faith still but we have to , if we let the game die there’s no chance rockstar picks it back up
The Warriors and Bully are not only Rockstars best two games, but in my opinion, two of the best games of all time. It's such a shame that they both their sequels were cancelled. It'll never happen, but I can still hope that they can get sequels one day. Imagine what they could be like on modern consoles.
Welcome back! It's actually a really old intro. :P People didn't like it when I used it back it 2017 - 2018, but recently I've seen lots of folks asking me to bring it back. Kinda confusing, but I figured I'd start using it again.
Great video, I agree with what he said about Max Payne 3 too. Such a great game and the best one in the trilogy. Hope you're doing well SWEGTA! Keep us updated! Love you
@@KenzoGamesOfficialHe probably based this interview on the GameInformer one from like 2021. They also interviewed Marc Anthony Rodriguez, a former game analyst for Rockstar’s New York City headquarters and one of the project leads on Bully: Scholarship Edition mentioned in a GameInformer interview that the game was like 6-8 hours long and some developers said that the grass growing and the AI remembering your actions were supposed to be some features.
damn this sounded so cool this is a major milestone of the original bully 2 concept it would've been so cool seeing the teachers just laying back and telling you to piss off because school is over the project lead sounds very chill
Hi Swegta you don’t know how proud I am. Look you brought me into the bully world and I did not know anything about it. I’ve beaten bully scholarship edition on the 360 and I though Jimmy Hopkins looked like Bobby hill from king of the hill when I first saw him. Thx so freaking much sweg for bringing me into the bully world love ur work hopefully bully 2 comes out. 🤞
12:35 I loved Max Payne 3 since day one! I bought it on release day and played it on my OEM PC with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, it was a simple graphics card but damn was the game well optimized. It ran without issue on almost max settings with constant 60 FPS. The multiplayer mode was also nice and always played 2-3 rounds at night. I have only good memories of this game.
I always hoped that bully 2 would a private university setting ending with jimmy going to jail, and then he would be the protag of a future gta game when he comes out.
Amazing video Swegta, we’re glad to have someone so passionate and dedicated to our most cherished game of all time. Thank you for everything and we will keep supporting you forever.❤
this is crazy, especially the end when they say that the poor reception of a game just kinda kills the spirit. it gives me chills cuz i am making a game akin to bully as well
Good shit, Swegta. As a former Rockstar employee in the NYC office, you did your research. Bully 2 was indeed gonna be a masterpiece. I was working for Rockstar between 2005-2015, so I’ve seen it all. Bully 2 was very, very barebone. Meaning not much development was done to it. It was going to be a direct sequel to Bully and Jimmy was indeed planned as the main character again. The game was indeed in development hell for years. Most of the features in RDR2 was from the ideas we shared and originally planned for Bully 2. I don’t think the game will see the light of day anytime soon, or not at all. I can’t give a solid answer for that. When I was at Rockstar, the script wasn’t even finished cause all hands were on deck in RDR2 development. Maybe one day I can share details of the cancelled OG Xbox version of Bully . Keep up the good work, Swegta!
He says working on LA Noire broke him but the game was developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. I remember hearing this information like having a summer camp setting and the individual blades grass system from an old TheNathanNS video so he did not say anything particularly new. How can we be sure it's real?
"Development assistance was provided by Rockstar's North, Leeds, San Diego, and New England studios.[1] The game was ported to Windows by Rockstar Leeds.[2]" - LA Noire's Wikipedia page
LA Noire was initially developed by Team Bondi. But the game was ambitious and required way more resources, and crunch was heavy in Team Bondi. To mitigate this, Rockstar offered their own studios to assist the development of LA Noire and starting changing things in the game during development. They basically started removing or cutting things in the game that they didn't like. This caused a rift and misunderstanding between R* and Team Bondi. This caused in things getting removed and added to the game repeatedly and this lead to way more crunch. The developers at both R* and Team Bondi were crunching hard to get this game done. Once the game released, R* cut ties with Team Bondi. All in all, LA noire's development was a nightmare, That's what the developer probably means in the video.
love that he loves max payne 3 a lot of rockstar games are unknown bc gta has been their biggest series but there's so many good games in their catalog you could literally play any rockstar games game and be there for hours of fun.
Holy shit so this games faction system was actually going to be a lot more interactive and possibly choice based. I really hate that we didn’t get this game.
Great video. Can't believe you got to speak with the Project Lead, legendary. Oh trust me, you'll def be given another opportunity like this sometime in the future. After the first big interview, eyes are finna be on you m8 and eventually some industry folk with sensitive info will more than likely be looking to find you. Sometimes sooner than you think. You opened a door of opportunities with this video, appreciate it and embrace it pop
man, that in game map & these character models are so freaking sweet, i cant even fully describe it all i can say is it would be an absolute insane beauty if implemented, never seen anything like this anywhere else, so fckng cool to see how they look, and then the summer camp mission too. i really hope from the bottom of my heart this becomes a reality & rockstar doesnt f it up...
Bully has such potential to get a second game and as such a beloved game from my childhood I just know if they made a second game it'd sell really well!
So it doesnt even take place at a school? I know it wasn't the final version but the school aspect is what made bully 1 special. Basically everything revolved around the bullworth academy. I still want the game to come out since i am one of the biggest fans, but idk i kinda want it to be in bullworth
I've always thought a Bully sequel would be such a financial success for Rockstar. I'm a story guy, but just think of the online from a marketing perspective for Rockstar. Creating your own character, going to classes and exploring the world with your friends, factions and just general customisation. Maybe add skateboarding and biking again. The possibilities for an online would be endless. Hell, Rockstar could even sell some skins for a backpack if they wanted to. Online could even have had a season change every couple of months. What I'm saying is there would probably be such a big market for it. Every kid would want to live out that fantasy especially online with friends, and adults too. Cmon Rock$tar!
I really can’t see why rockstar wouldn’t work on other properties like they used to. Hearing what bully could have been it’s just so sad. Sad for the developers that never actually saw their project see the light of day and sad for us who could never actually play them
I’m so heartbroken we’re never gonna get that build it sounds phenomenal

It'll never happen, but I can still hope that they can get sequels one day. Imagine what they could be like on modern consoles.
I want we are the mods
Jimmy Hopkins running around with a fullcon tomahawk cracks me up
If this ever happens. You of all people deserve some sort of Easter egg or recognition.
I haven't watched a video of yours in a minute and I like the new intro! 🔥
Welcome back! It's actually a really old intro. :P
People didn't like it when I used it back it 2017 - 2018, but recently I've seen lots of folks asking me to bring it back. Kinda confusing, but I figured I'd start using it again.
Great video, I agree with what he said about Max Payne 3 too. Such a great game and the best one in the trilogy. Hope you're doing well SWEGTA! Keep us updated! Love you
This just made me want Bully 2 more then i already did!!!
Feels like Swegta interviewing with A.I. 😂
Thats the case trust me
@@KenzoGamesOfficialHe probably based this interview on the GameInformer one from like 2021. They also interviewed Marc Anthony Rodriguez, a former game analyst for Rockstar’s New York City headquarters and one of the project leads on Bully: Scholarship Edition mentioned in a GameInformer interview that the game was like 6-8 hours long and some developers said that the grass growing and the AI remembering your actions were supposed to be some features.
damn this sounded so cool this is a major milestone of the original bully 2 concept it would've been so cool seeing the teachers just laying back and telling you to piss off because school is over the project lead sounds very chill
Hi Swegta you don’t know how proud I am. Look you brought me into the bully world and I did not know anything about it. I’ve beaten bully scholarship edition on the 360 and I though Jimmy Hopkins looked like Bobby hill from king of the hill when I first saw him. Thx so freaking much sweg for bringing me into the bully world love ur work hopefully bully 2 comes out. 🤞
Thanks Stacey! Stay awesome.
@@SWEGTAYou're a bum
@@Cocedealerdid anyone ask for your opinion?
This was a great video swegta, great job!
I'm honestly sad that we are never going to get this build, it looks amazing.
PLEASE make this happen! It would be such a breathe of fresh air from other types of games these days
12:35 I loved Max Payne 3 since day one! I bought it on release day and played it on my OEM PC with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, it was a simple graphics card but damn was the game well optimized. It ran without issue on almost max settings with constant 60 FPS. The multiplayer mode was also nice and always played 2-3 rounds at night. I have only good memories of this game.
Same One of the Best TPS games of all time.
Thanks u Swegta for making this!
I’m still hoping one day down the road we’ll all get surprised with an announcement after forgetting about it. I would shit my pants
I know this dev his name is bear bones
He is also known as Qwit Capping
so 4th island is actually a summer camp where bully2 was meant to be placed lol :D
I'm so glad that u made this interview. When will you upload the Shawn Lee interview
God I want this so bad! Bully was a phenomenal game... still is. I need this. I. NEED. IT.
I always hoped that bully 2 would a private university setting ending with jimmy going to jail, and then he would be the protag of a future gta game when he comes out.
9:46 Man, imagine getting flipped off by vacation-mode Galloway.
Brazillian here... Nice work, man!
The more I hear about bully 2, the sadder it makes me that it was canceled. Great video.
I knew it, AI gonna make Bully 2. That lead developer is an AI. You can't fool me, Swegta.
That 100% an ai
I hope bully 2 comes soon I've been waiting since 2006 for a second one
Amazing video Swegta, we’re glad to have someone so passionate and dedicated to our most cherished game of all time. Thank you for everything and we will keep supporting you forever.❤
this is crazy, especially the end when they say that the poor reception of a game just kinda kills the spirit. it gives me chills cuz i am making a game akin to bully as well
This sounds awesome! Hopefully there'll be a leak of this build someday.
I don’t know why this game was never made rockstar needs too think this over we don’t know this will ever be made
Max Payne 3 is Definitely an underrated gem
Good shit, Swegta. As a former Rockstar employee in the NYC office, you did your research. Bully 2 was indeed gonna be a masterpiece. I was working for Rockstar between 2005-2015, so I’ve seen it all. Bully 2 was very, very barebone. Meaning not much development was done to it. It was going to be a direct sequel to Bully and Jimmy was indeed planned as the main character again. The game was indeed in development hell for years. Most of the features in RDR2 was from the ideas we shared and originally planned for Bully 2. I don’t think the game will see the light of day anytime soon, or not at all. I can’t give a solid answer for that. When I was at Rockstar, the script wasn’t even finished cause all hands were on deck in RDR2 development.
Maybe one day I can share details of the cancelled OG Xbox version of Bully .
Keep up the good work, Swegta!
I hope one day in the next 10 years we get bully 2
Massive respect to the time you put into this video Sweg! Liked and shared.
Man it sucks, been subbed for years and your devotion for this game is unreal, sad we'll never see the day
Wauw this sounds awesome thanks Swegta hope your doing well
Thanks Hamstel! I feel pretty good. I hope all is well with you.
He says working on LA Noire broke him but the game was developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. I remember hearing this information like having a summer camp setting and the individual blades grass system from an old TheNathanNS video so he did not say anything particularly new. How can we be sure it's real?
"Development assistance was provided by Rockstar's North, Leeds, San Diego, and New England studios.[1] The game was ported to Windows by Rockstar Leeds.[2]"
- LA Noire's Wikipedia page
@@SWEGTA Hm....🤔
LA Noire was initially developed by Team Bondi. But the game was ambitious and required way more resources, and crunch was heavy in Team Bondi. To mitigate this, Rockstar offered their own studios to assist the development of LA Noire and starting changing things in the game during development. They basically started removing or cutting things in the game that they didn't like. This caused a rift and misunderstanding between R* and Team Bondi. This caused in things getting removed and added to the game repeatedly and this lead to way more crunch. The developers at both R* and Team Bondi were crunching hard to get this game done. Once the game released, R* cut ties with Team Bondi. All in all, LA noire's development was a nightmare, That's what the developer probably means in the video.
Allot of Rockstar worked on the game. The heads of Rockstar had to step in during the last 2 years to get it out the door.
So it’s possible we’ll see Bully 2 from Rockstar. Just not the version we thought we’d get???
There are a lot of franchises rockstar should come back to. Bully especially.
love that he loves max payne 3 a lot of rockstar games are unknown bc gta has been their biggest series but there's so many good games in their catalog you could literally play any rockstar games game and be there for hours of fun.
Holy shit so this games faction system was actually going to be a lot more interactive and possibly choice based. I really hate that we didn’t get this game.
Great video. Can't believe you got to speak with the Project Lead, legendary.
Oh trust me, you'll def be given another opportunity like this sometime in the future. After the first big interview, eyes are finna be on you m8 and eventually some industry folk with sensitive info will more than likely be looking to find you. Sometimes sooner than you think. You opened a door of opportunities with this video, appreciate it and embrace it pop
7:53 mentions that their bread and butter is trying to fix Red Dead Online and that makes me think it's a bit fabricated tbh
I think it would of been cool if it had a bigger map so that since Jimmy would be 16 in this game he could get his license and drive real cars around
man, that in game map & these character models are so freaking sweet, i cant even fully describe it all i can say is it would be an absolute insane beauty if implemented, never seen anything like this anywhere else, so fckng cool to see how they look, and then the summer camp mission too. i really hope from the bottom of my heart this becomes a reality & rockstar doesnt f it up...
That early build of bully 2 sounds amazing, it sucks we'll never see it get finished.
Bully has such potential to get a second game and as such a beloved game from my childhood I just know if they made a second game it'd sell really well!
So it doesnt even take place at a school? I know it wasn't the final version but the school aspect is what made bully 1 special. Basically everything revolved around the bullworth academy. I still want the game to come out since i am one of the biggest fans, but idk i kinda want it to be in bullworth
I've always thought a Bully sequel would be such a financial success for Rockstar. I'm a story guy, but just think of the online from a marketing perspective for Rockstar. Creating your own character, going to classes and exploring the world with your friends, factions and just general customisation. Maybe add skateboarding and biking again. The possibilities for an online would be endless. Hell, Rockstar could even sell some skins for a backpack if they wanted to. Online could even have had a season change every couple of months. What I'm saying is there would probably be such a big market for it. Every kid would want to live out that fantasy especially online with friends, and adults too. Cmon Rock$tar!
GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA BABY!
Greetings!
I want Bully 2 demo damm it.
Oh man, I really hope they consider Bully 2 someday, no matter how long it takes!!!
So i guess that kills the theory that says jimmy died or something along those lines?
I really can’t see why rockstar wouldn’t work on other properties like they used to. Hearing what bully could have been it’s just so sad. Sad for the developers that never actually saw their project see the light of day and sad for us who could never actually play them
