News "Bully" gets a release date

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2006/08/10/bully_gets_a_release_date/

 

oh dear.... this really doesn't sound like a good idea.

 

Well seems someone else has got the Daily Mail idea about this title. Apparently YOU are getting bullied, and you have to fight back with pranks and stuff. It's actually anti bullying not a simulator.

 

I would hope that this game gets a whole mountain of complaints from parents/polititians/idiots within 30 seconds of being releaced. Just so rockstar can laugh them out of court!!

I suspect that Rockstar could releace a game with a universal rating and advertise it as a game all about murdering and subsiquently eating victims in a primary school but when played the game is simply a bunny rabbit sim hospital game.. However, i recon, people would still attack the game on the day of releace because they havn't even played it!!! Farking polititions!

 

lol, well i assume this will atleast get an 18 rating

so really, its parents faults if they disagree with it ....

 

Darkedge, I understand what you're trying to say, but let's please remember who is releasing this game...I'll stand by my belief that it will be a "kick the crap out of this kid for hitting you" game, with occasional fun hijinks mixed in. Anti-bullying doesn't involve a baseball bat and bag of marbles If I'm wrong, I'll happily admit it later!

 

this will be very very very very interesting, i hope it is not like "manhunt", it was interesting but got borring after a little.

 

Da Dego - this the same people who released Table Tennis... so it's going to be a tight insightful sport sim then by your logic.
Just tired of the slag off before really much info has been released and plowing into the vidoegames are bad mmkay mindset - please Bit-tech leave that to the Hate Mail and similar.

 

Rockstar did say some time ago that the game wouldn't be PRO-bullying, and that there was some kind of moral thread running throughout the game and that it has a moral ending.

Quite frankly I believe too many be are assuming that this game is gunna just be about BEING a bully and beating people up.

 

Will this be another rockstar game that hits the ps2 then us pc users have to wait a good 6 months before release?

 

Got an e-mail from Rockstar this morning:

Nothing about a PC release though...

 

Sounds cool, I always wanted to play with kids and pliers in the same environment, get them back for all the times they've annoyed me....everywhere.

*concedes that his initial opinions of the game may be lacking due to the trailer...

I'll still have to see where the game leads upon release, as trailers can pretty up almost anything - but as it stands I owe darkedge an apology
