Would love a sequel me and my neighbor friend played the hell out of it when it came out and then again when it came out on 360. We still keep in contact in different states been friends for over 20 years and we still bring up Jimmy and the characters in that game every now and then

    I may be alone in this but I think they were right to cancel it. Bully 2 not being based around a school would’ve been a really bad change. It defeats what made the game different from the rest. If it would’ve just been another open world game, it wouldnt have done as well as the first. Maybe sales wise but not in actual critiques/reviews. If they want to make a Bully 2 it has to be in a school otherwise its a different game. Imagine if High School Musical 4 came out and it was about them doing a musical outside of High School. Wouldnt make any sense.

    I am convinced we will get a Bully sequel after GTA VI. Red Dead 2 doesn't feel like six years ago, and it still holds up today. Rockstar will want to wait some more time before Red Dead 3 so it can be even more impressive. Bully 2 is coming I feel.

      Exactly, there is a reason they dropped the game 3 times, they really want to make this, inspite of t2's meddling, no way they're gonna make rdr3 next, its way too soon, and we've had enough of rdr2 for a long time

    • @zacwoods
      @zacwoods Місяць тому

      Nah. Too much blowback if they made Bully 2 today. Its not really Bully 2 if its not based around a school either so the original idea may not have really worked anyway. Too many school shootings for them to even announce they are making a Bully 2. CNN would light the company on fire media wise and the guys at Rockstar probably dont want to deal with the same things they dealt with 20 years ago.

    They could go the easy way by making a Bully 2 sequel with the same rule of the GTA series (with a different protagonist and a new town/school ecc...) But maybe they wanted to do something more unique by keeping the original protagonist and exploring other themes about "Bullying". I think this was the main issue which caused the delay and then the cancellation of Bully 2. If we will ever get the chance to see a Bully sequel it would be like no other game for sure.

    Such a shame...especially now because this niche of open-world games is sort of stale.
    Rockstar should take a few notes from Ubisoft's scrapped Campus game and shift it into college.
    Most of the OG Bully fanbase is in their mid-late 20's at least, or maybe the most youngest are in late-teens.
    Keep the anachronic feel, no blood and gore, just enough to warrant it an ESRB T or PEGI 16.
    Bringing the storyline in college, there would be no outrage over a sex or booze/weed joke or typical Rockstar shenanigans.
    We'we got the hardware to pull something similar. Rockstar used to do way larger projects while PS2 was on the market, and that thing had 32mb of ram and 4mb of vram... and now we are begging them for a second trailer for GTA VI or for anything that it's not GTA Online.
    Especially regarding Bully.

      Lmaoo no, they said on the investor call after GTA 6 they hope to release more games more frequently so a small game like bully 2 could happen after 6, I'm sure one small team will be working on rdr3, maybe a new manhunt and bully too or even agent or a new game, there was a rumored medieval IP they're working on that leaked with the confirmed project Americas leak for GTA 6 so they will be making more games quicker. Online funds their company is a good source of income for them to put back into their games. If it takes time then it takes time. Rockstar always drop HEAT every time. As annoying as 5 might be sometimes it's nowhere near a bad game it's still amazing and the fact it's lasted 10+ years is a testament to that fact. Bully 2 was only canceled cause they couldn't figure out how to perfect it, that's a good thing. They'd rather cancel it and come back to it later rather than make a bad game that's not a bad thing especially nowadays
