Rockstar Remarks on Bully for 360 - Mar 07, 2008 04:04

We have just become aware of the issues people are having with Bully Scholarship Edition on Xbox 360. It appears that some older 360s are experiencing framerate issues, freezes and other problems. You have our word that we never experienced any of this in QA - in any of our offices or at Microsoft. I am horrified, and we are now working around the clock to rectify this situation. Thanks to Neo-Gaf for bringing this matter to our attention. We love our games and put a huge amount of energy and care into making them all that they can be. We would never shove anything out the door - we never have and never will. We apologise to everyone affected for the inconvenience. Respectfully, Sam Houser

I didn' t know that the new Falcon chipset also affected framerate issues in a game, or freezing issues. Now that Rockstar have informed me that my older 360 is the problem, I can stay away from this one.

Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake

Tho I' ve had this one for some time now. I' m sure a quick patch can fix it. If it was because of old or new consoles I' m sure plenty of other games would be suffering but I don' t hear any such things being reported.

I doubt it has anything to do with the older hardware. XBL Gamertag: Rampage99 " Basically, pollute the air all you want, your just speeding up the inevitable.

You never know. Rockstar has only put one title out on a next gen console(arguably) Wii, and therefore would have most like only have picked up more recent devkits(there is little information of GTA4 development). Add that to the fact that the xbox 360 is really the only console in the last 10 years to undergo so many changes in a small amount of time.

After all this is merely a port of the code, they would surely not be finding the limits of the system in any way.

Is it just me, or does the main character in Bully look a lot like Bobby Hill from King of the Hill?

For people like me who have yet to play the game, the 360 version seems like a logical choice over the ps2 version. If it looks a bit better, has a wireless controller and undoubtedly loads faster, why not get it for the 360? Other than the fact that it probably costs a lot more than the ps2 version.

You really haven' t played it yet? Huh. Well, I don' t know why you' re waiting for this version. It only sports a handful of new stuff. It looks slightly better, yes, but I certainly wouldn' t purchase Bully for the graphical updates. You' ve seen the screens, yeah? They' re nothing to write home about to be sure.

Unless you' ve got a large display, and sit far back from it there isn' t much of a point in wireless.

Edit: Come to think of it, you' ve got a pretty big display don' t you?

Ignore my madness, as per usual.

load times

I don' t remember them being bad at all, but it' s been months since I' ve played the game.

I dunno. I' m not telling you what to buy here, but especially with the glitchiness it' s experiencing, I can' t see a point in buying a 2 year old port, that' s just personal preference I suppose.

Patch on the way. Wow, that didn' t take long at all!!!! Most wanted games: Mass Effect Assasins Creed Crysis Little Big Planet Drakes Fortune UTIII Kane and Lynch Heavy Rain Alan Wake

It only sports a handful of new stuff. 8 new missions seems like a good enough reason to ignore the original to me. It may not be much, but it' s something. Plus, I' m getting it for the Wii, so there will be a (slight) difference in controls.

If it were between the two, and I' d never played it I' d splurge for the 360 version. I' m suprised you guys haven' t played it yet. It was definitely one of the better ways to kill time back when it was big on the PS2.
