Grand Theft Auto goes without saying, and Red Dead Redemption has proven massively successful too \u2014 but a real fan favourite is Bully, also known as Canis Canem Edit.<\/p>\n<p>The action adventure about a boy navigating his life through boarding school was a big hit on PS2, but despite this, it never received a follow-up. How come?<\/p>\n<p>Well, this question was thrown at Rockstar alumnus Dan Houser, co-founder of the company, during a rare <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GdAYM7QNIOA\">interview with IGN<\/a>.

He&#8217;s consistent, at the very least.<\/p>\n<p>Houser&#8217;s comments probably don&#8217;t tell the full story, though; we&#8217;re sure there will be various other reasons Bully 2 has yet to happen, especially as time moves forward and projects like Grand Theft Auto 6 become absurdly expensive, multi-year endeavours.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/ps2\/related-articles:82492,20485 @ 1759060809 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\">\n<header class=\"widget-header\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Articles\"><\/span>Related Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<div class=\"object-related-list\">\n<article class=\"object-related-article\">\n<p class=\"object-related-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/8d4d27382066d\/150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"There's a Big Ol' Bully Reference in Red Dead Redemption 2\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"object-related-info\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News_Theres_a_Big_Ol_Bully_Reference_in_Red_Dead_Redemption_2\"><\/span><span class=\"category accent\">News<\/span> <span class=\"title\">There&#8217;s a Big Ol&#8217; Bully Reference in Red Dead Redemption 2<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagline\">Canis Canem Edit<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"object-related-article\">\n<p class=\"object-related-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/b3f0395146d45\/150x90.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"There Will Be Tears: Rockstar Games Chose To Develop Max Payne 3 Over Bully Sequel\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"object-related-info\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"News_There_Will_Be_Tears_Rockstar_Games_Chose_To_Develop_Max_Payne_3_Over_Bully_Sequel\"><\/span><span class=\"category accent\">News<\/span> <span class=\"title\">There Will Be Tears: Rockstar Games Chose To Develop Max Payne 3 Over Bully Sequel<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagline\">Not even Darth Vader can express our disappointment over this article<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile insert-extended lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_T68D92C532748A\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250,300x600\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Would you like a sequel to Bully?
