Rockstar’s Dan Houser: ‘I Want to’ Make Another Bully

Speaking to Polygon, Rockstar's Dan Houser said "hopefully" there will be another Bully game. 

“I know I want to [make it],” he commented. “Well, hopefully, you never know. There’s a lot of directions I could go with that one, it’s funny.”

Asked if Bully protagonist Jimmy Hopkins could grow up to be a Grand Theft Auto character, Houser was less enthusiastic.

“I never saw him as being that level of degenerate.  saw him as a bad teen, because he comes from a tough home, who could go either direction. He’s not going to be a carjacker. He’s too white collar for that already. He’s at a shit private school, but he’s going to end up being really happy because he’s at the worst bit of his life, or being a sort of messed up white collar doofus.

“He was an unpleasant soul, but he had a heart. To some extant you could say the same was true of [Grand Theft Auto 4's] Niko in a bizarre way. But [Jimmy's] not trying to burn down the school, he’s more trying to stand up to injustice.”

The original Bully was released in 2006 and it seems that any sequel is still someway off. However, in July of this year Rockstar took out a new patent on Bully which covers videogames. 

Would you like to see Rockstar take another foray into the schoolyard?
