The Advertising Standards Authority has heard complaints about the TV advertisement for Bully: Scholarship edition on the wii. The advertisment showed Jimmy Hopkins using a slingshot, also 2 students giving another student a wedgie and a cook sneezing into a pot and others.
According to the ASA a website over 30 people have complained about the Bully ad. Some of them said it was "offensive and distasteful and it encourages bullying to occur, while others thought it was shown at bad times .
The ASA also dismissed the complaints, "Some might find the name and content of the game to be a very very bad taste, the content of the ad was not likly to cause serious offence."
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.
We at Nintendo believe in kid friendly advertising.
Why do you think we didn't advertise No More Heroes.
The 30 people complaining are all from people that got bullied when they were in school!
...when it's at least 30000 complaints.
May they sign a petition while they're at it.
