Art, in the most traditional sense, immerses the viewer in a world not their own; be it a picture, a book, a poem, a song, or otherwise, 'art' in the loosest sense immerses one in a universe that can be open or closed, free or restricting, based on how the artist renders it. 'Art' is a reality separate from our own.
All games, in their own right, are art. Even Halo 3 manages to involve the user into a fantasy world, even if such a world consists mostly of teabagging and rockets to the face. It's the good artistic games – the Psychonauts of the world, if you will – that provide the greatest immersion and most unique landscapes. Rather than taking a purely unrealistic approach, however, Rockstar decided to take every person's fear – grade school – and turn them into a ridiculous, one-of-a-kind world."
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.
