Rockstar's beloved boarding school adventure Bully has been awarded fresh ratings in Taiwan. With new ratings for numerous modern platforms, including PS5 and PS4, they've sparked conversation online about what they could possibly be for. While a remaster or remake would be very welcome, it's much more likely these ratings are referring to the game's inclusion in GTA+, Rockstars' subscription service.
Bully will be added to GTA+ tomorrow, 20th August 2024, so given the timing, the ratings almost certainly stem from this imminent inclusion. The ratings themselves can be seen over on Gematsu, and you can find them pretty easily on Taiwan's rating board website.
Bully, otherwise known as Canis Canem Edit, is an open world action adventure set within a school and its surrounding area, in which Jimmy Hopkins attempts to eliminate bullying by rising through the academic ranks. Originally released in 2006, it's one of Rockstar's less talked about titles, but no less lauded by its fans than the likes of GTA or Red Dead Redemption.
Will you be checking out Bully as part of GTA+? Line up for assembly in the comments section below.

If it’s still the same PS2 on PS4 version, why would it need to be re-rated?
This NEEDS a sequel.
Completely agreed they should do a second one
Forgotten classic. When mainstream games had some real creativity and originality.
@itsfoz I would be very surprised if that ever happens. Bully was already controversial THEN which is why it is called "Canis Canem Edit" in the UK. The very title was seen as too much.
Maybe, perhaps, I could see it happening if it incorporated a GTA5 switching system so that you could get multiple perspectives at once. Perhaps bully, victim and teacher? The bullying would certainly be less glorified either way.

Who's got the balls to make this anymore?
Only Rockstar. Nobody else.
They're all toothless, political games pushing an agenda down people's throats for by our favourite consultancy firm.
It's honestly an absolute disgrace how we're so reliant on Rockstar to deliver games that are actually fun and have a bit of an edge to them
@Specky if you think that Rockstar has "balls" you are only kidding yourself. They are as corporate and buttoned up as anyone nowadays.
@aj21009
All I care about is the games they deliver and they deliver HARD. They dare to go and tackle games/ settings/ topics no other corpo dares.
At the end of the day all that matters is the fun in these games. Not the batsh*t insane politics that for some reason has invested our entertainment
Jimmy lad.
One of my favorite games. I actually played it on the Wii. Always wanted a sequel but pretty much gave up on it now.
"Who the hell you been ringing in Taiwan boy?"
Let's just wait and see how GTA6 turns out before we start holding up Rockstar as brave...
@Specky If they have balls where is a Manhunt remake uncensored.
Rather just play it with upscaled graphics on batocera
