    Or maybe even whatever would spawn from such an unholy matrimony.

    Bully is still my favorite of Rockstar's open world and I wouldn't be adverse to revisiting an older Jimmy Hopkins now and see what has become of him. He already has some backstory that they can flesh out, what with his wealthy, but certainly uncaring parents. And his penchant for delinquency, sophomoric humor and pranks. Not to mention a keen intellect an a mini Machiavellian mind to scheme against his enemies.

    With the New England-ish surroundings of Bulworth Academy, it wouldn't be a far cry to see the game spin off to a city like Boston if he went a bit more white collar or then again there's always Chicago for that original gangster flavor.

    I'm just imagining using these scenarios to have nods towards other great works of fiction like The Departed and American Psycho like Rock Star are want to do.

    Rockstar Vancouver is responsible for Bully, and they're busy with Max Payne 3... =/ Though I still have hope...

    Bully 2 is my dream, it doesn't even needs to be with Jimmy Hopkins, it just needs to be more Bully. Bully was amazing. It had fun things to do around the city, funny ways to interact with the world around you, fun minigames, fun weapons, and it had a good story. AND YOU COULD WALK AROUND AS A SKELETON NINJA!

    I still can't get the idea of Bully 2 being in a summer camp. It'd be the best thing ever. But GTA takes top priority over most Rockstar games. The Warriors trumps all though.

    I think "Who cares" is exactly why GTA V is being announced and Bully 2 isn't. 
     
    ...because of the millions and millions more people (aka: wallets) who care about the former.

    Oh Rockstar, I love you. And yeah, I'm more excited about GTAV than I could be about any other game in existence. Though I'd love to see another Bully game, and heck, another spin with The Warriors would be alright by me.

    They'd have to set it in an American school, which wouldn't really work as well.

    Yeah, it's all fixed up. I played it on the Wii the 360 and the PC (and 100%ed all three - yeah, I like it a little bit) and never had any trouble...

    Bully 1 took place in America and it worked just fine.

    I think it's New England. You never noticed none of the students had accents? Or that the kids are playing the football where you use your hands?

    PlayStation 2 version alone sold 1.5 million copies (As of March 2008). So I would say it did pretty well.

    I would enjoy either, or both, if I had the choice. Bully was a fun game and one I want to get on 360 again. Grand Theft Auto is my favorite series of all time, though, so I want to see it first. After Max Payne 3 maybe there'll be a Bully 2, I hope.

    Well, the story had you defending the weaker kids, but you could totally be a jerk to anyone in that game. Stuffing people in lockers, trashcans. Throwing a bunch of marbles on the floor of the boys sleeping quarters, then pulling the fire alarm and watching the chaos... man that game was awesome.

    @Landon: I wasn't much of an asshole in Bully. I kept pulling the fire alarm because it was cool, I RAN AROUND DRESSED AS A NINJA, and i kicked the ass of every bully with the exception of Russell. Oooh, and the English classes SUCKED.

    I'd much rather see GTA V, it's a galactically better series. But I do want a Bully 2. Just not with Hoskins. His story has been told, we need a new kid and a new town.

    Bully 2 would be all right I guess. I don't think Jimmy could be the main character again though.

    It would have to be a new school as well, and the story lines and missions they used couldn't be recycled. GTA has it easy with murder, because you can do that many a times in game.

    The more I think about it the less I like it. Everything would be too similar for me.
