yay! boys kissing boys!!

I know Jack will want a piece of this! :D

yay! fugly graphics!

Wow, this took forever to come out. By now I'm surprised people are still looking forward to this port while there are so many other great games coming.

Sweet! You get to disect creatures in Science class now :D

//Bully is one of my favorite games ever, and I'm definitely going to pick this up on the 360.

great game...who cares about the graphics. it's fun as hell to play and the "wow" factor from great graphics wear off after a few minutes of play anyway.

rockstar vancouver ftw

The graphics are underwhelming, but the game has style, props for that.

playied it don't need to buy it again thank you.

they should change their name MittHands Games. atleast in the 360 version they switch it up a lil bit and throw in some gi joe grip hands here and there.

we are Rockstar. the concept of of fingers eludes us.

@Raziel3333: yep! :)

I dunno. Yeah it's not spectacular, but for a simple port of a ps2 game it's not so bad. Hell there are some worse looking 360 specific titles out there....

@AgainstOne:

Hahaha. So true!

This game was terrific, despite how much people like to complain about graphics.

Is this the game where I can have all sorts of high-definition realistic sex acts in every form, format, multiple, gender-oriented possibility I can think of?

if they sell it for 30 bucks or so, im in! Never got the chance to buy the PS2 version ;_;

As the Wii's success should prove, graphics don't mean anything. The graphics aren't up to todays standards, but they look fine. The gameplay is what makes Bully so great, and that's what will give gamers incentive to buy it.

Wii is a current-gen system, Kotaku. What, are you hypocrites now?

[kotaku.com]

There are lots of sub-par graphics on the Wii.

Gamers need to cry more, imo.

@daver4470: it will be once one of kevin mccullough's friends tells him it is.

If you're buying a game just for the graphics, why not just go out and rent a movie? Games are made to be played, not watched =\

I never understood this stuff.

As much as I like the premise of titles like Bully and GTA, it would be nice if a proper story can be told that didn't deal with being an ass at school or fornicating with prostitutes in a car and violently beating them afterwards.

Whatever...

@chillblain: wait, why cant we have both? oO

@chillblain: how can you play it without watching it? do you play it blindfolded? or with your eyes closed?

@dead_red_eyes: fingers are overrated! who needs fingers? not me! not you!

This game was never about graphics, I never cared for them once on the PS2, and I bet aslong as it is stable, runs smooth both Wii owners and 360 owners will have a laugh as I did on the ps2 :)

I just wonder what will happen to the internet when the whole boy kissing boy drama starts all over in the media.

This graphical update is something this game really needed. Sure it's not fantastic GTA4 quality, but the game is still easy on the eyes, and the biggest update it needs is a smooth framerate, sharper picture, and no fog. All of which it looks like this port is getting. Anyone who hasn't tried the original has no reason to not pick up this (most likely) budget-priced title.

@chillblain:

Oh shit, I must have missed the memo where it wasnt called VIDEO games!

Go on with your gaming self Helen Keller!

@DeLoRtEd1: 1) For the millionth time, Nintendo themselves said that the Wii is not "next-gen." Not more than the PS2. So don't expect magic on it in the graphics department.
2) What was the game of the year in most sites and magazines? Call of Duty 4 (Kotaku doesn't count because multi-plat games were eliminated by default). What is so great about it that makes it stand out among other shooters? Impressive graphics.

So yeah, for a PS2, a PSP or a Wii, graphics don't matter. But don't tell me graphics don't matter AT ALL, because I don't know a lot of PS3, 360 or new PC owners who will rush to buy a game with poor graphics.

@Yoko_Yasha:

wait, why cant we have both? oO

Well because ... because ... it will put a flaw in the Nintendo fanatics number one argument ... "gameplay over graphics" ... when most who play games want BOTH!

As long as the music remains unchanged, I have nothing to complain about. Best Soundtrack ever.

@sascha23: I did not feel like I was an ass in bully, I felt like everyone treated me as such though, this game was one of the best game and most down to earth with good story that rockstar has made for me. This game feels like art and real thought was put behind it in all parts of the game, unlike GTA etc.

If you asked me I would rather have a Bully sequel then GTA4 today!

@daver4470: No, I believe the game you're looking for is Pac Man: Championship Edition.

@sascha23: Says the guy with Snake in his display picture.

Come on, man. Movies are way worse for violence.

Have you seen the new Rambo?

Like really. Have you seen it? My god that is a lot of blood. Move over Saw series, gamers have officially a new movie to scapegoat.

@EnigmaNemesis: *thunderous applause* Well played, sir!

@EnigmaNemesis: Helen Keller lol She is actually a role model to many people I know and I guess myself a little bit too, for being blind, deaf and still accomplish things :)

@daver4470: I seem to recall it's the one with boys kissing boys. I'm sure that's enough to get bloggers screaming about sodomy.

@ortholomeux: "The wow factor from great graphics wear off after a few minutes"

Truer words have never been spoken. All too often I'm finding myself spending 10 minutes awed by a game, and going around looking at pretty much everything.. and then 8 hours into it I think to myself, "when was the last time I spent any time looking at the graphics? Oh yah, 8 hours ago." hehe.

@Buttah: So freaking true! It really set an awsome atmosphere to the game.

Well, the graphics aren't mind-blowing, but I do like that HD resolution lets them fill out the world more, judging from the posters behind the nerds. What sells Bully is really the sense of environment, so if they can expand on that, it might be worth a re-play.

@Irenicus-the one and only:

That was my point ... I have much respect for that woman, and apparently he has the skills of her as well!

Looks good

At least they're not trying to charge $60 for the 360 version. Though $50 still seems a bit high for me.

@EnigmaNemesis: :)

But, this is a remake, and if it is stable and smooth then people would do themselves a favor getting it. I loved this game. I still stand behind what I said before, I rather have a true sequel to this on PS3/360 then GTA4.

@Dimipapa: For me to poop on

"Use scalpel to cut around heart." What the hell? Is this Bully: Trauma Center Edition?

@MrBionic: I agree somewhat, especially when we are just talking about a higher polygon count. But when animations are real nice too then it takes a lot longer then 10minutes for it to go away. As well as the scenery.

And I also like to counter that argument saying that after those 10minutes when you try to go to a game that is more fugly it makes you feel sick. Almost like HD :)

Mini-Games, sadistic humor,free-roaming,carnies,bullies,nerds,Hot teachers,wedgies,swirlies,spitballs. I love Bully!

I loved Bully, but I don't know that there's enough new content in the Scholarship Edition to warrant purchasing it again. We'll see.

Kinda looks like a first-gen 360 game, but I missed it on PS2 and heard it was excellent, so I'll probably pick it up anyway.

@Raziel3333: Here that Rockstar? Cancel the project. This guy's not buying it.

Wait a sec!
Are we allowed to say Bully again?
My PS2 copy still says Canis Canen Edit, did I miss the memo or what?

and @sascha23: you should play this game, it's the opposite of what you think of it!
