Giancarlo Varanini of GameTap writes: Since the original Bully came out near the end of the PlayStation 2's life cycle, some gamers may have passed on it in favor of waiting for a potential appearance on the newest platforms, even though the game was almost universally well received. Those people are going to be rewarded for their patience with Bully: Scholarship Edition, which is coming to both the Nintendo Wii and the Xbox 360 with some new features not found in the original version of the game.
The most obvious of these new features are the improved graphics. Both versions of Bully: Scholarship Edition sport better visuals than their PS2 counterpart. The Wii version has some cleaner textures here and there as well as some enhanced reflecting effects as shown on the floors inside Bullworth Academy. For obvious reasons, the changes on the 360 are far more dramatic. Everything--from the school grounds to the individual character models--looks incredibly crisp and clean, bringing an extra bit of life to Bully's already colorful and vibrant world.
Rockstar has given you every reason to pick up the Wii or Xbox 360 version of Bully if you're still on the fence about whether or not to get it--but if you're not quite convinced, then keep an eye out for our review when the game hits store shelves on March 4.
Rockstar appears to have updated the PC version of Bully: Scholarship Edition, but it wasn't the major improvement many speculated.
Bully: Scholarship Edition was an Xbox 360 & Wii re-release of the PS2 classic. Still playable on modern consoles, it'll make you long for a sequel.
A sequel? More likely a remake as is the current trend? No point, everyone wants GTA VI.
It's a shame that basically all of Rockstar's catalogue apart from GTA and Red Dead is now, well, dead.
The R☆ of today is extremely unlikely to put out any project that isn't GTA because of the gaming climate and because GTA is stupidly self sustaining.
Gone are the days of a mainline title and a portable tie-in/standalone title of the same name just like publishers putting out multiple fighters at once.
Costs are too high and mainline titles have become too gargantuan to allow for "risks" on lesser titles that may not take off or sell.
Take Capcom for example, and SF6. We are unlikely to ever see a new installment of their other fighters like Rival School or Darkstalkers because SF6 is more popular, recognized and costly. A new Darkstalkers in the RE Engine would look sick as f*ck, and would visually be unlike any other fighter if done right. Sadly though, it's not as recognizable as SF and Capcom is unlikely to put so much on the line for something that might not catch.
If there’s to be a sequel it should be at the college/university level. Otherwise its just going to be a rehash of the same progression and story.
Yes, at one point, people really were angry about Night Trap.
