Forums - Microsoft - Rockstar "Bully"s 360 And Wii For Scholarship

Nice to see developers porting last gen's top PS2 games to the Wii. A lot of Wii owners missed them due to either not having a PS2, skipping the generation of consoles altogether, or not being into gaming at that point. I'm seriously considering buying this game if it's cheap enough, and there's not much else coming out within a few weeks.

Now if they'd only give us Okami...

What would be the point of spending money making the game again on the PS3 when it's a new PS2 game? Also, who would buy the same game on the PS3 when there is a PS2 version that came out recently?

It wouldn't sell on the PS3 because you can already play the game on your PS3....

I'm with ckmlb on this one. So far we don't know much about what the game will be like, but it sounds just like a port with some small upgrades. And releasing a port with small upgrades on a system that already plays the original game would be pointless (kind of like most of the Wii games Ubisoft has made). 

So far there doesn't seem to be too much reason for it to be on the Wii and 360 asside from a new platform to further sales. And a PS3 version wouldn't even have that reason.

I'm not saying that the loss of this game is a massive blow against the PS3, but what I am saying is that The Godfather had a port on the PS3 because EA believed there was value in it ...

And probably they lost money with that one :s

@Parokki Okami would be great but is this still possible who have the rights of this game in fact :s?
I heard the company don't exist anymore :s so who can port it :s?

 






Because chances are teh 360 will at least get a noticeable graphical update and it wouldn't have been that much to port the 360 version over to the PS3. Bully would get a sales spike for being released on a new console and even if you could play the PS2 version many people would get the PS3 version because it has a slightly different name and whould be slightly modified for the PS3.

If it all it si a matter of it is on the PS2 and can be played on the PS3 so why bother release it. Well teh PS2 has the largest install base one that is over ten times the Wii and 360..Why bother release it on there. many 360 and Wii owners who will buy this game will have likely own a PS2 anyways.



It was developed by Clover and published by Capcom. I imagine Capcom still holds the rights to the game, but I can't be sure.

This is the "RE4 and Viewtiful Joe are Gamecube exclusives!" company here, so I still have some hope left. ^^

Falaffalkid is now stirring the pot with rumors of Nintendo Publishing Manhunt 2 as an AO Wii exclusive... I know his credibility isn't exactly the best... so can anyone else scoop the story on him? proving him wrong or right first?



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

None of that stopped Capcom from remaking Resident Evil 4 for Wii or Ubisoft from making Prince of Persia Wii. Just because the game was already released or is just a port to a new system, doesn't mean there isn't a reason to remake a game with new content.

The PS2 has the hugest installed base currently, but does that mean everyone who has a PS2 is an active consumer still buying games for that system.... the answer is no.

I think whatever content Rockstar is putting into the 360 edition (graphical or content wise) should also be available to PS3 owners, it makes no sense not to..


Just my opinion........



By the way

Both Resident Evil 4 and Viewtiful Joe eventually went to a Sony machine.

 



Okami was a great game, better than Twilight Princess. If you could use the Wii mote as a brush that would be a cool touch if they decide to port that to the Wii.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Gee, I was just joking. And how did the topic get changed to Okami? I'm not even going to bother finding out.

I thought it was obvious, but damn, get off your high horses.
