Hopefully This Canis Canem Edit Video Will Bully Rockstar into a PS4 Sequel

Graphic design student schools the pros

by Sammy Barker Sun 18th Jan 2015

While the mere prospect of going back to school is enough to give us nightmares, we could handle one more term if it meant that we got a Bully sequel. Rockstar's scholastic satire may not have been a commercial smash, but it offered a scathing commentary on dorm room life – and if this video by graphic design student Wesley Arthur is anything to go by, it would look outstanding on the PlayStation 4.

Built using Unreal Engine 4, the clip shows off a painstaking recreation of the boys' dormitory from the PlayStation 2 game, complete with flickering lights, ridiculous graffiti, and the grotty kind of living conditions that you'd expect teenage boys to enjoy. "The level closely replicates the original layout in order to maximise its recognisability, but each asset has been carefully redesigned and built from scratch," reads the YouTube description. Top marks to you, Wesley.

Rockstar has hinted in the past that a Bully sequel could happen one day, but it's much more likely to prioritise Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto ahead of another education-inspired romp. Honestly, as much as we love those series, though, we'd rather return to the Bullworth Academy right now. Would you be down for some more high school hijinks? Bunk off in the comments section below.

bully is easily one of my ALL TIME favorite games EVER! i have been waiting for a sequel ever since. it had more atmosphere than any game i have ever played before. i really felt as if i were there living in that little town. if they make the sequel i really hope they use the same composer, the music was amazing and a HUGE part of what brought it all to life. most games seem to have music just to fill a space but imo it was part of bully. like sammy im a huge fan of red dead and gta but i would rather see a bullly sequel by far.

That was really amazing but I think Rockstar needs to make a sequel also make red dead redemption and maybe gta game for vita.

Bully is awesome! I would love a sequel. Hell I wish they had it available as a PSN clasic on vita or ps4 so I could play the original. I almost bought a PS2 to play it. Love the video tho!

I'd much rather Rockstar focuses on the next Red Dead.

Played it never beat it.
I remember the seasons changing the whole game.
I mean winter came A's the whole town was covered in snow. People only now go nuts for the snow GTAV Christmas update. But it's been in their resume since Bully.
