Rumor: Bully 2 was cancelled in 2017 for third time due to heavy workload required for finishing RDR 2 and GTA VI preproduction
- Thread starter fanboy
- Start date
There's no real incentive to make anything else except endless DLC for the 2 games they have. I mean fuck GTA V is probably going to get a fucking second remaster before anything new comes out from them.
most normal non-always online people like and consume GTA without much fuss so yours would probably be the wrong one at a macro scale if we're going to play out this discourse to its logical endgame.
No, every Rockstar game does in fact have to be huge.
From a business perspective there is more profit in focusing on those big games rather than putting resources into something like Bully 2.
That is why they are doing it. It is a profit deal.
i guarantee Bully 2 would be a moneyloser anyway. it's a nostalgia goggles game to the extreme and no normal consumer remembers bully 1
The fact that Rockstar Table Tennis wasn't a mini game in IV or V is mind bending to me. Like... it already exists. Just put it in. Instead we get boring trash like darts.
Era questions GTAO's existence almost as much as the existence of black music.
Man, I miss Chinatown Wars. Can we get a sequel on the Switch or something?From Reddit yesterday
You have regular Tennis to fill that void.
if it's actually popular and engaged with the general public it might as well not exist on ERA lol
I don't understand how a massive company like Rockstar can't also put out Bully to give people to gnaw on. I get that GTAV and GTAO has been monumentally successful for them, but that should mean they have some spare money to throw at a project like Bully 2.
And like what if Bully 2 actually hits it off with people like GTA did? That means more money. If it doesn't, it will still sell well because of the studio and also the nostalgia people have for Bully.
Such a simple yet unique concept wasted at a company with the money and resources to make it without losing anything.

there is no reason to believe this would be the case, you are basically making an emotional argument about what is ostensibly a smart business decision
make ez money with another GTA vs. essentially relaunch an IP that only the internet cares about, hmmmm.
you have to make tuition payments in the Bully 2 online mode, simple.
You're thinking too small.
You need the schools brand of shoes. That will be 280,000...Bully Bucks?
You can buy 4 of our 75,000 Bully Bucks cards for ÂŁ5.99 each or replay the same 2 missions 80 times to get almost enough. If someone doesn't rob you or grief you first.
Also, The shoes don't include the laces.
I made a thread because its news? I just added a personal opinion. I am sorry if you feel upset because of it.
I totally get why but Bully is my favorite Rockstar game so I'd have loved a sequel. Oh well... So when we getting GTA6?
They are already making easy money off of GTA and will make easy money off of the next one as well. They can absolutely afford to fund smaller non-AAAA projects.
My point is that Rockstar has all of the money and will continue to get more money, but take no risks with smaller projects that could end up being their next big thing if they bothered to try.
It isn't even really about Bully for me because I have no nostalgia for the project. I played it only two years ago for the first time.
It's about these massive publishers and studios concentrating on one or two projects for the end of time. How stifling that must be for their creative talent.
we can agree there. i believe it's why you are seeing top level talent fleeing the industry as we saw with the bioware thing a few weeks ago.
while they are making the smart business decision for the shareholders it is unsustainable from a creative perspective and you will likely see more people leave the industry because of all that fuckness going on.
I wonder if GTAVI will be cross gen? Not complaining. Just curious. If it comes out for example in 2023-2024 will it be on ps4/XboxOne as well or that's too far into the next gen cycle?
Honestly, bully 1 came out at the perfect time, before cyberbullying became more well known and a much bigger deal than traditional schoolyard bullying it'd be tough to make a sequel
That was the opposite actually, top talent returned to the studio while a general manager and producer left. Both of you are making a big assumption that creative leads at big studios are stifled even when working on large franchises.
User Banned (1 Day): Trivializing rape, Please don't use rape to make a point
How R* raped the foundation that was Red Dead Revolver after gleaning things from years of developing both TPS and open world masterpieces is unfounded to this day. wouldja kindly come in hur Mista Marstone. This little old gal need some help moving a sofer!
(inside the $ofer is Bully 2, Bully 2 and 2017's Bully 2, and all of the creativity that has exited the company since 2012).

It's hard to say that I've enjoyed what GTA and Red Dead have become so revisiting some of their other beloved IPs with a smaller scope is really the perfect shot in the arm I think Rockstar could use to get me interested again. Bully and Manhunt are some of my favorite games of their respective generation and they deserved the kind of nurturing and expansion that a modern sequel would provide.
But then it'd just get cancelled again to reallocate resources for Red Dead Redemption 3.
Loved the first one, but I have no clue how Bully 2 could be with nowadays Rockstar, which is go big or go home. OG Bully was quite small for an open world game, it almost had more to do with The Warriors than GTA.
By the way, remake The Warriors.

Bully is a game that seems to be a product of its time. I'm not even sure what a next gen sequel of that game would look like.
As others have said, I think Rockstar is a AAAA machine now that will focus on blockbuster releases. They're probably all hands on deck on GTA6.
I do wonder whether they might have a new IP instead of a RDR2 sequel. They'll probably crunch the numbers and come to a decision

Please fix your punctuation and grammar, as this is far too difficult to make any sense of lol.
nah it's clear and it's ok for you to be wrong. this L should be easy for you to understand
what's that, the company are prioritising a sequel for the most successful entertainment product of all time? yes i can see why they think 'we' haven't had enough of them
RDR, LA Noire, Max Payne 3 and GTA5 back to back over 4 years is pretty incredible
Yep, still checks out haha :(
Yep, still checks out haha :(
Their last 3 games were fucking amazing at least.
I feel like you gotta put another A on that for them. Rockstar games feel like absolute monsters in terms of size and scope that are on a level no other game is on.
With how successful GTA and RDR are I don't see why R* would develop anything else for the foreseeable future.
Lol.
Wanting a sequel to a cool game from yesteryear in comparison to wanting something like the 12th iteration of GTA isn't wrong. Your poor grammar is though.
being the grammar guy on the internet in 2020, lmao. keep shining you crazy diamond
