Official Bully Trailer Premieres
60 humorous seconds from Rockstar's next project.

August 10, 2006 - "This probably isn't the game you thought it was." At least, that's the sentiment being expressed in various newspaper write-ups all over the country regarding Bully, Rockstar Games' rediscovered actioner for the PlayStation 2. Unheard of since E3 2005 and believed to be grounded in a number of outrageous and unconfirmed scenarios that had opponents screaming about thing before the truth was unveiled, Bully puts players in control of 15 year-old Jimmy Hopkins -- a boy who has just begun his first year in the New England-based Bullworth Academy, and a guy who's charged with the mission of ridding the school of a number of its undesirable elements.

Identified by their white shirts, the bullies are against everyone else: the teachers, the nerds, the jocks, the preppies... you name 'em, they're against 'em. Luckily, Jimmy is encouraged to stand up for himself and the other kids, and while players can certainly have moments of questionable judgment themselves (through pranks and razzing), being a bad kid isn't supposed to be tolerated. Again, this probably isn't the game you thought it was.


But we can get more into the intricacies of the game at a later time (and we will), but for now, we have a more immediate update for IGN readers first. Rockstar has hooked us up with the debut footage of Bully (in trailer form) as means of getting the word out on what kind of game this really is. To check it out for yourself just click the image above to go straight to our video page, and you may also want to keep an eye on Rockstar's Official Bully Homepage for other possible tidbits in the near future.

They must of been told they can't promote bullying, so they had to change it.

Still, I'm sure they will keep it interesting.

Yet they can promote* drug use, murder, grand larceny, racism, and any other unpleasant* activities in their other series Grand Theft Auto, hmm?

*1: They actually state in the beginning of their games "Rockstar Games does not condone or endorse the various activities that take place in this video game" or something along those lines.

*2: Unpleasant to "normal" people. I personally think they're all furfags.

Bullying RULES. I can't believe that.

I think that it has something to do with the fact that everyone who likes to bully is a RL bully.
The game wouldn't be the same as the real thing.
