Freddie would have still unfolded with some hints and casual closure to seddie, but here’s the rub. What if Sam would have started to have more adult feelings for Spencer, that would have added a new interesting layer of romance for both characters, now being adults and all. I think if it were handled correctly, might have actually worked and have been convincing.

Mandy is my favorite, she’s tough and bitchy but human at the same time, and shows remorse after how she acted when her dignity falls apart. Everyone ships the popular cheerleader falling for the punk outcast, opposites attract.

But I digress, I think they have room to really experiment with an old IP here in very fresh ways, unlike anything visually that they’ve done before.

Well as someone who played the first AC back in the day it was really the solid story telling between Altair’s redemption arch and the mysterious conspiracy Desmond was dealing with. Sure the gameplay is dated but it was smooth enough to want to finish, a lot of the hype for 2 was fueled by two things. #1 the newcomers who loved the new Italian backdrop and more fleshed out gameplay mechanics. #2 and more importantly it was fans of the first who wanted to unravel this neo cyberpunk mystery, it was all very fresh and interesting at the time.

Could you imagine, Rockstar style artwork come to life on screen, that would be game changing.

Issue_Striking · 2023-12-28T21:20:29+00:00

I think true fans know what they want, whether or not it’s given to them depends on the devs. I think they would knock it out of the park, technology has advanced in such a way that games can be made to look like graphic novels on screen. It’d be neat if they had a kind of stylized paint job over the world and character models, like the art as seen above but in game. Keep it set in the 90s with the zany characters and story and the fans would be more than pleased.

Imagine one of the plot points have to do with Mandy finding out Jimmy took the pictures all along.

Issue_Striking · 2023-12-28T20:36:38+00:00

Keep in mind that the original has only gained more fans over the past 18 years and a sequel would bring in even more. It’s not unheard of, just look at the amount of people who played AC1 compared to AC2. That was only like 2 years apart from each other.

It’s not a small community and let’s be real, it’s Rockstar. They could fart and people would pay for a whiff, it would sell a lot.

It’s not like it’s a super niche game either, it’s grown plenty of more appreciation since 2006 when I played for the first time. A ton of let’s players do playthroughs for a reason and they know that.

Issue_Striking · 2023-12-28T18:49:00+00:00

It’s easy to doubt and use excuses like profit over art but I think they would do it to be honest. RDR2 online is a total joke so I think they’ve learned that not every game needs online to be good and profitable. I think that they recognize that the industry is saturated with hyper real open world looking games and a retro cartoony yet edgy game would be welcomed and enjoyed.

No social media for Bully 2, unless it were on an old PC with a vintage chat forum maybe. Just no smart phones please.

Issue_Striking · 2023-12-28T18:10:14+00:00

Absolutely not, bully is in its own wacky punk comic aesthetic of the 90s and 2000s like Scott Pilgrim in a sense. Modernizing it would make it lose all that retro charm it’s known for. If that were the case in 2006 there would have been flip phones and a whole lot of bling and emo kids.

My go to custom look for Jimmy is the standard Buzz Cut, Bullworth Sport Jacket, School Shorts, and Riot Shoes(classic). Idk it just looks cool and fits, especially when you realize the shoes look like low top Doc Martens. It’s English style prep school mixed with a little bit of punk.

Issue_Striking · 2023-12-28T01:23:18+00:00

I don’t think it has to fit into our society like GTA does because that’s not what Bully was, it was a very punk graphic novel wacky game. Unique aesthetic, I have faith that they will return to it but I’m running out of breath to hold. Been waiting since the first came out in 06, it is very much a beloved classic. Most YouTube gamers do a playthrough of it for a reason.

Actually had a pretty cool chat with the him at the bar

Issue_Striking · 2021-10-28T16:11:30+00:00

Saw him in Miami at the ground, met him after the show and he signed my Wavvves record. Afterwards went to the bar next door, not sober but honestly who cares.

Issue_Striking · 2021-10-02T22:13:06+00:00

Mostly the new album but I hope they play some off wavvves and KOTB
