- Maybe Heather is a reference to the 80's teen movie Heathers with the big hair and her name? - The Exchange Student is actually adorable and I wish she was in the final game, but I feel like she was reworked into Angie: Both girls are clearly Asian and ES has a cute bow and a Hello Kitty backpack. Angie has cute flower barettes and can often be heard talking about how she loves bunnies, which most people think are cute.
There are mentions of drugs in Bully, like when the guy behind the school asks him if he has them, and there's a line asking Jimmy if he's on drugs, it was either a prep or a bully that asks, can't remember which. There is also a task of getting prescription pills from the trash for Edna, which she used to drug the chemistry teacher with.
13:13 Makes sense as to why Wade says "I'll break every bone in your scrawny little body, chump!" If he was that large, since in the final he is quite small and makes him sound more of a wannabe tough guy (which makes sense also of course).
Im sure that the Exchange Student is a very early version of Angie as angie appeared in a whole lot of beta screenshots implying that she was one of the earliest characters to be added.
I knew something like this was coming. Great video. Trust me, in the future, someone will get their hands on beta version. And then we will finally see beta boys dorm and academy and many more. Only time will tell when...
I have a gut feeling it will happen too. There's a very strong community out there, full of people wanting to get their hands on beta versions of their favourite games.
I would honestly love to see 2002 Pitch screenshots that was shown to the Press and Rockstar Higherups, meaning VERY early presentation prototype gameplay to show off their concept and gameplay ideas to get the company to back them up on their idea. Probably forever lost but it would be interesting to see.
its funny, if you look at R* games and how unique they made characters, on one end you have Max Payne/GTA where nearly all characters are no-names or just kill fodder, and then on the other end you have Bully where almost every. single. character. was named, had a personality, and a small background. even the most insignificant like the prefects. the only ones i can think of who aren't special are the police officers.
I feel like in these concepts the game was clearly supposed to take place in a modern (for the release time) setting, and not be ambiguous about the time period. We see a goth girl, punks and a hello kitty backpack.
13:28 These concepts may be called Alpha, Proto-version, Version of Concept (even though you are showing just concept art, and that can be difficult to not confound people), etcetera.... ...Because I forgot the rest; it happens.
Very interesting video, I had no idea Bully went that far back. I’ve always wondered how old the students of Bullworth are meant to be as some of the concept arts look very young while the prefects seem to be about 18 or 19
I think if bully 2 is ever released that the skaters should be a clique and the main character gets a skateboard from a mission like help one of the main characters friends fight the skate borders and steal the board
Dr crabblesnitch kinda looks like pastor Richards from vice city , like if you look at pastor Richards art design and then look at crabblesnitch they look similar
@@GenericNameems it could've been an amazing game. I'm not saying that the bully we have now is a bad game, not at all, I love the bully we have now but the original idea for bully would've probably made a better game. As I said that doesn't mean that the current bully is a bad game in any way.
Crabblesnitch was originally supposed to be the main antagonist. The story would have been crabblesnitch conspiring with Gary who would have been the secondary antagonist.
It was a completly differend game,shame we will never know any of this as it seems brilliant Also the girl has a name while Garry does not,damn the need for knowlage is killing me it was sutcha bigger and darker game
Could death obsessed girl be a very early concept of Zoe? Considering she was meant to be a part of the punks and the later beta versions had her hair sort of similar to the one here (with two strings in front).
I have a feeling the Cassie character would have been kidnapped at some point in the original story. Seems like generic thing to do in these types of games. Rescue the kidnapped girl.
Sort of. I think I mentioned the 2002 stuff from Barking Dog being acquired by Take-Two, then Bully began after GTA VC, but guess I was wrong. Started just as VC was out.
It would be cool if we could still get a bully that would still have more childish overtones. Like maybe something set back in the 50's that would include bullworth from the past and have old school preps and greaser and explain more about their rivalries as well as what the jocks and nerds would be like back then with maybe some extra cliques to replace Russel's crew. The townies being full on hillbillies could be cool as well and being inspired by old school settings from movies around the time. Like bring back the junkyard and have a mission be to bother the junkyard owner to entertain your friends or as a rite of passage. Also have a baseball field as a boss battle area against the jocks as maybe a reference to sandlot. They could also have an outsiders style rumble where the actual focus is on the carnage rather than singling out Peanut and Johnny. I feel like it could still have the same vibes as the original bully we have but also have the story maybe focus on having a single girl that you have a crush on in school to kind of recapture those days and just getting into mischief hanging out down the river. An old school kind of vibe I feel like would work well for a bully game as that's what everyone always gets from bully anyway. Maybe just have it relate to Jimmy's future story later on like we play as or meet Jimmy's grandfather and have references to all the pop culture and events at the time.
I want chuck to be the main character in bully2 WHAT IF BULLY2 is bully beta That would be amazing SMASHING! NOW, TELL ME HOPKINS... Is it true you said i was inbred?
this is all opinion what im gonna say, but in the first concept art i think it suppose to be the main character that we play it, i say it becouse that kid remind me of another kid from that bully beta animation where he is the victim of the beta russell's attacks. i dont think that having a ganster or a mafia guy in the game would make it kinda dark it, there alot of kid shows in that time that have one time gansters or criminals in it, that even include to some E-Rated games that mafia people in it like the "the sims 2" for the nintendo game, the implementation wont be dark aslong the execution it done right to make it more cartoonish or comedical. looking at the religious kid it concept art it do really make me think how the game would be like if they have a faction related with religion, that could be something interesting to see. anyway, nice video! i wonder where do you get those concept art from?
dude, you are looking at this from a final game point of view. these were designed having in mind bully would be a gta in school. I think, that all of these characters, were supposed to be mission characters. like in gta sa, there's the rapper guy (og loc), the mafia guy (woo zee) and so fourth. There's porn movie directors in GTA VC but that doesn't mean it's a porn game, so the Radio Guy was probably supposed to give you missions These were drawn in 2002. 20 and fucking 02. WAY BEFORE any storyline was written. These characters are not supposed to be free roam characters. THEY ARE MISSION CHARACTERS.
