Bully 2 is coming to town - but to which consoles?

Bullt PS2


Analyst Michael Pachter has today said that a sequel to the highly successful Bully (also known as Canis Canem Edit in the UK) is very likely. The games analyst, whose job is to predict market trends, told Game Politics, "I thought it would be stupid, and it was fun; I thought it would get poor reviews, and it got solid 90s; and I thought it would bomb, while it now appears to be a million unit seller."

The game's really fun, with many features that make it distinctively Rockstar - minigames, races, and a fighting technique all similar to that of the Grand Theft Auto titles.

Of course, you may be thinking why we're posting this news here when Bully was a PS2 game. Yes it was, but if a second Bully title is in the pipeline then you can bet your life savings that it would be a next generation title. It may be coming to the Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, or possibly the PSP.

A portable Bully game would certainly cause friction in the playground and give another reason for the re-emergence of the videogame violence debate. We don't like to speculate too much. After all, this is an analysts view and is in no way confirmed; but after such a successful PS2/Xbox debut it makes sense for a sequel to be made. What do you think?

Not even the word from Rockstar, some analyst hoping to get some attention. And why would the sequel come to psp? IF there is a sequel, it would be on ps2... Who makes a sequel to a ps2 exclusive title on a different console? Who the hell would buy it except multi-console owners who already owns the first copy?

I am so tired of seeing this type of news. I come here for news. This is just saying a new game is in development and because platforms have not been announced and QJ decides that this *could* mean we will see it on the PSP. I think GTA9 could come out for the PSP. Get your hopes and your pants up.

Bully on the PSP would be fun. The PSP needs all the cool titles it can get and this would be one of them.

Um the creator of Bully said that he is DEFINITELY NOT making a sequel to Bully. He said it was done and nothing more will be made about it. he wants no sequels.



Get your facts straight QJ.

» BULLY XBOX WAS CANNED!

BULLY was canned on-xbox because microsoft discontinued support of the console halfway through devolopment of Bully.



expect xbox360 support to be discontinued when microsoft releases xbox3.



NOTE:

Nintendo still supports gba and gamecube, even now!

Sony still supports ps2 and will for 2 more years.

» Bully isn't violent

What? Only for two more years? Humm, that's too bad...



Anyway, I can't see what all the fuzz is about with Bully. It got a TEEN rating ffs, and you're not the one bullying others. Now why would people insist of this being a monstrous game? Video game violence is not an argument in this discussion, because the whole anti-Bully campaign was punctured when the rating came out, even more when the game was released and everyone actually playing the game saw it wasn't bad at all.

Shouldnt Be Long Until Jack Thompson Tries To Ban This Game From Being Created.

I REALLY hope they'll bring it on PSP. If they do Sony should avoid making any controversial ads.



Dustball/squirrel: "It's like bullying, that you can take outside!" LOL



Sony should try to keep this an PS exclusive. Give R* what they want, money, jewels, women, WHAT EVER!

What's cool? That an ANALYST not related to Rockstar thinks there MIGHT be a Bully 2 coming - after admitting all his guesses regarding the original Bully was wrong!



I'm not saying Bully 2 won't happen, but this is truly a no-story story!

A cool game like this should be on ps2 not PSP

» Bully2 on ps2 and psp

IF there is a Bully2 it should be on ps2 and psp 'cause they are great consoles for a game like that!

by Drew - 2007-01-19 15:07

I think there should be a second BULLY game. BULLY must go on!!!

What has your pointless sales banter got to do with this news ?



Its also called the PS2 still sells well so it is still supported.

The 360 sells well and because of its considered well priced for a next gen console so most xbox1 owners now own a 360 which they can play most of their old xbox games on to.
