I just bought Bully. Last time I've played it in 2006. Best rockstar game imo, let's hope this is a good port.

Edit: this game looks better than I expected/ remembered. Nice.

Edit: Yeah this definitely is one of my favorite games of all time. Everything is just amazing...and the music....

 

[Chabbles]

So how much of an upgrade is this really over the PS2 original or the PS2 classics on PS3, visually ?

What it says in the store -

"Experience Canis Canem Edit for PS2 with full 1080p up-rendering and enhanced features such as Trophies, Share Play, Remote Play, Activity Feeds amd Second Screen support for game manuals with PS Vita or PS App.
This title has been converted from the original PS2 version to the PS4 system. Consequently. there may be times where the title plays differently from the PS2 Version, or where some features may not function properly"

 

[MattyH]

Has anyone tried a headset with manhunt yet

Yeah, seems like 1080p and enhanced features. This game still looks good though. I think there are frame drops but I'm not entirely sure.

 

[LakeEarth]

Is this one of those PS3 emulated games?

PS2, but in Bully's case that is a good thing. The 360/PS3 versions were pretty unstable.

I remember playing a mini-game at the arcade in the game (the Sumo one), and it froze. I couldn't believe it.

 

[Marvel]

Never played Manhunt... I must buy it.

Expect something like this:

It's a significant visual upgrade, because the untouched PS2 resolution and IQ look nasty on any HD TV or monitor. I really dig how clean Vice City looks on PS4 and I bet Bully isn't an exception.

 

[Lemmy Caution]

I've been meaning to finally play through all of Bully. Got about 1/3 of the way through when it was released.

Wondering if I should play my Wii version or if this PS4 download would be a bit of an upgrade?

 

[ironcreed]

Amazing game. Bring it to the US store and I'll buy it for sure.

Interesting. Waiting for the US versions though. Would be nice if they'd include some screenshots on the store page.

 

[skynidas]

I uploaded some high quality footage of Bully: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QznEGIDDdyc

I'll be doing the same with Manhunt, gotta say that the 3 year difference between the games is noticeable in how the games control.

 

[On Demand]

Bully!

Man that game is good. Buying.

 

[Fisty]

Hopefully, Manhunt retains the headset functionality that it had on the PS2. Having Brian Cox taunt you directly into your ear really elevates the entire game, which I thought was an otherwise serviceable stealth title.

More games should have done this.

I think the only other game that made good use of a headset for immersion purposes was the Splinter Cell multiplayer, where a spy could taunt a merc while he's holding him.

You actually can do this in MGS4 as well, using a bluetooth headset during the campaign funnels all codec conversations through the earpiece. Awesome stuff.

 

[Bazry]

Wait so if you own the PS3 PS2 version of Bully, you don't get this for free or at least some sort of discount?

Isn't this what Nintendo gets all sorts of shit from people for?

Bully on PS3 is currently £2.99, whereas they're asking £11.99 for this

Nope, you'll have to buy it again at whatever price they list it as.

That's the question I was going to ask but I guess I already knew the answer. I already own two versions of Manhunt and I've yet to actually play it. Am I going to go for three?

 

[Qurupeke]

Bully is awesome.

 

[Interfectum]

No Manhunt on the US store yet.

 

[Bazry]

Is this just an accepted known issue? I feel like Nintendo, especially recently with the SNES games on 3DS, get this bad reputation of being backwards and not understanding the digital age etc, yet Sony seem to be doing the same thing quietly across platforms if this is the case

 

[Lashley]

I'll wait on a sale. Not paying £12.

You missed the thread of the initial ps2 releases. People were pissed and rightfully so.

 

[Stike]

As expected, manhunt is not not German PSN either.

Yeah, it's still banned.

Maybe it would be rated 18 if someone requested a re-rating, like it happened with Doom?

 

[The perfect Dark]

So why do so many gamers want RDR2? The first one was good but what we really need is Bully 2.

 

[comshoplesce]

I'll wait on a sale. Not paying £12.

14,99 $ CDN = 8,1

comes to my mind

 

[HueyFreeman]

Amazing game. Bring it to the US store and I'll buy it for sure.

No Manhunt on the US store yet.

It's up, as is Bully.

 

[friskykillface]

$14.99

no thanks , but glad its up

 

[Figboy79]

Ah, Bully.

How many times do I have to buy this game and only play a little bit of it before something happens and I can't play it again?

Answer: All the times.

Just bought it on US PSN, and I'll download it later. When I played it on PS2, I didn't get terribly far (maybe 10 hours or so into it), but I loved it. I can't actually remember why I stopped playing it.

Then I bought it on PS3 when my BC PS3's disc drive died, and I played a little bit of it, but never caught up to where I was at on the PS2 version. Eventually, I got sidetracked by other things/games maybe.

This time, though. This time I'm going to beat this fucking game! I loved everything about it. I've never been to boarding school, but it did remind me of the private school I went to for a short spell. It had this authenticity to it, and Jimmy is such an asshat protagonist. I love it.

I also own Manhunt on PS2, but couldn't stomach some of the extreme violence at the time. It felt too gritty and real back then, so I never got far in it (but it was during that era where I bought every game with the Rockstar logo on it, even Enemy of the State...sigh). The concept of Manhunt is intriguing and terrifying. I may give it another go. I still need to buy Okage (another game I own on PS2). I hate that my BC PS3's disc drive crapped out on me. So many PS2 games left unfinished that I hope get PS4 releases.

Give me FFXII already Square-Enix!!

EDIT: I may have to do a "Let's Play" stream of Bully on my Youtube channel. I've been wanting to get into streaming my gameplay sessions, but couldn't think of a game I wanted to do one for besides No Man's Sky when it releases. A Blind Playthrough of Bully could be a lot of fun...

 

[vitacola]

Yeah, it's still banned.

Maybe it would be rated 18 if someone requested a re-rating, like it happened with Doom?

(Almost) impossible. They would have to go the whole legal way through courts and stuff because it's a §131 StGB title. You can't get those titles from this list that easy. Sadly.

EDIT:
Actually it would be possible to release it in Germany, because the "Inhaltsgleichheit" (same content) of the "Indizierung" doesn't apply to §131 StGB titles. Courts have to rule over every release of a title in question.

 

[lame gag]

I used to love Manhunt. Then I replayed it last year and realised how garbage it was. Seeing the stealth kills is okay at first but the gimmick wears of fast. And that's all the game has going for it.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

I guess Bully might be the first PS2 game I buy on PS4 when it comes to NA.

I should buy San Andreas on a cheap sale sometime too, though. Just to get a quick fix.

 

[aygomyownroad]

Time to replay the masterpiece that was manhunt.

 

[Raptomex]

Rockstar needs to get on Manhunt 3.

 

[Audioboxer]

Do they both have widescreen support?

 

[The perfect Dark]

Bully has widescreen support. Manhunt? I don't know ^^

 

[skynidas]

Do they both have widescreen support?

Manhunt also has widescreen support.

Here's gameplay: http://youtu.be/dVeZTmiGytM

 

[Soodanim]

These are both games I had and adored on PS2, and even rebought on PC, but I can't bring myself to play either of them again. I don't know why.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

The Warriors next, pleaseeeeee!!!.
Or maybe it would be franchise license problems?



It's 15€, so it has Platinum.

Pretty sure Paramount took the license back, hence that Warriors Street Brawl game on X360.

 

[Black Pewter]

Love Rockstar but fucking hell, can we get some games made by another developer in the classics for once?

Spoiler

I'm well aware how irrational this complaint is, I'm just pissed Ape Escape 3 and Viewtiful Joe are still yet to be given the treatment.

I feel like the only ones that care are Sony and Rockstar. Which is weird because i think these PS2 Games sell.

 

[SonicXtreme]

bully is one of those games that i really want to play in the winter when it's a snowstorm outside. it's been pretty mild lately so it wouldn't feel right. but maybe next year, such an awesome game.

 

[Norci7]

Manhunt is a great game, I loved it as a child, can't wait to play it again.

 

[HueyFreeman]

Huh so bully has some pretty significant drops below 30fps in open areas. Doesn't seem like a huge deal, but surprising given I thought framerate was a priority for these PS2 classics. Be interested to see a DF analysis, and whether or not it gets any patches.

Looks fucking great though - i feel like the colors are much less washed out.

I had this problem with GTA 3 too whenever an explosion occurred, I think it's just the nature of the emulation sadly

So about £8.50 after transaction fees?

Hmm, tempted

 

[Silent-blades]

Never played bully. Might give it a try.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I don't like the input lag for Bully. It requires getting used to.

 

[Anung]

I just noticed Manhunt now (I somehow missed this thread). Really tempted to pick it up. Really immersive horror stealth experience. Does anyone know if it has the weird bug that 360 BC has where you can only hear starkweather through a headset?

 

[TerryWogan]

Never played Manhunt. Decided to give it a try. The most controversial thing for me is how fucking shit it is. Jesus Christ. What's with the damn controls?
