Teachers demand ban on Bully: Scholarship Edition

A coalition of groups representing four million teachers from eight unions in several countries - Australia, Britain, Canada, South Korea, the Caribbean and the United States - is urging retailers to refuse to sell Bully: Scholarship Edition.

Bully: Scholarship Edition features a shaven-headed teenager who adjusts to life at a new boarding school by harassing others, which the organizations say glorifies bullying. The abuse includes dunking pupils' heads in toilets, photographing them naked and physically assaulting them. Teachers are also targeted.

bully is so harmless, i've played it on ps2 and from what i hear the new edition isnt any more violent.

i thought it was very very tame for a rockstar game

didnt intend for that to rhyme

Tempist6050d ago

It's as stupid as claiming that the Metal Gear Solid games after MGS2 are trashless violent games. MGS series is a good example of choice based video games. You don't have to kill anyone and are in fact reward those who take a non-violent approach to completing the game.

M_Prime6050d ago

ohh boy here we go again.. and its not like its a NEW GAME..

why don't they just say we shouldn't be able to buy MARIO games cause it targets GOOMBAs and KOOPAs.

Or we shouldn't be able to play Wii Sports cause we have to HIT a ball.. in a violent almost REAL gesture, kinda like swinging the racket.. and don't get me started on WII BOXING.. now that should have these kinds of groups OUTRAGED!

Bully: Scholarship Edition - Desperately in Need of a Sequel

Bully: Scholarship Edition was an Xbox 360 & Wii re-release of the PS2 classic. Still playable on modern consoles, it'll make you long for a sequel.

A sequel? More likely a remake as is the current trend? No point, everyone wants GTA VI.

kevco33212d ago

It's a shame that basically all of Rockstar's catalogue apart from GTA and Red Dead is now, well, dead.

Redgrave212d ago

The R☆ of today is extremely unlikely to put out any project that isn't GTA because of the gaming climate and because GTA is stupidly self sustaining.

Gone are the days of a mainline title and a portable tie-in/standalone title of the same name just like publishers putting out multiple fighters at once.

Costs are too high and mainline titles have become too gargantuan to allow for "risks" on lesser titles that may not take off or sell.

Take Capcom for example, and SF6. We are unlikely to ever see a new installment of their other fighters like Rival School or Darkstalkers because SF6 is more popular, recognized and costly. A new Darkstalkers in the RE Engine would look sick as f*ck, and would visually be unlike any other fighter if done right. Sadly though, it's not as recognizable as SF and Capcom is unlikely to put so much on the line for something that might not catch.

If there’s to be a sequel it should be at the college/university level. Otherwise its just going to be a rehash of the same progression and story.

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia808d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest807d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo807d ago (Edited 807d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2807d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.
