Bully in Unreal 4 - Bully 2 Concept [Original]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- A next/current-gen homage to one of my all-time favourite games, 'Bully' (also known as 'Canis Canem Edit') by Rockstar Games.
I've recreated the boys' dormitory environment in Unreal 4 to demonstrate my environment art skills as a part of my Master's degree at Sheffield Hallam University. The level closely replicates the original layout in order to maximise its recognisability, but each asset has been carefully redesigned and built from scratch.
For more information, and high resolution screenshots, please visit my website at: www.wesleyarthu...

The music was recorded and written by James Smith, based on the game's original soundtrack by Shawn Lee. Please take the time to visit his SoundCloud page at: / commonuncommonj
Thanks for watching!
Update 10 years later: I got top marks for the module and a 1st class masters degree.
They also made a module in the game design course based on this project, where students have to recreate an environment from an old game.
I went on to work in game dev for 10 years and became a lead level designer, on titles like Disney Infinity, Hitman 2, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Tron: Catalyst.
Didn’t want to brag but thought an update 10 years later might be cool haha 😊
Thanks for all the views and comments on this ❤
good for you!
Amazing. No other words needed.
Also the song used actually sounds like something Bully would've used. 101010/10!
Bully 2 needs to be a thing.
Hi Nathan
Woow it’s really you!
Thank you so so much!! 😊 Such a late reply but I come back and check this video from time to time.
the music was made by my friend specifically for this video. He makes music still using the name jrowsy 😊

Someone get this man a job at Rockstar Games ! :D
Aw, man...The amount of references took me back. From the Gary newspapers, to the Dunce hats, J.Marston's grave sign, the LS Customs image...Even that clever Pepsilon logo...You sir, have done an amazing job. I wish this was an actual mod for Bully, it would certainly make me revisit the game.
Ahh it's awesome to see that my references are coming across (nice spot with the gravestone!). I'm so grateful of everyone's nice comments, it's incredibly rewarding.
The Well Stacked Pizza Co pizza box from GTA was in there :)
Ghrasee Great spot!
Wez Arthur LOL. Pepsilon.
Wez Arthur please wez let me suvir your video on my channel tevoy to mensionar on my channel I'm from Spain and I live in the us and speak a little Inglés and entonce want to upload your video on my channel if you allow me to tell the Spanish people as could be bully 2 your video is very good please tell me if I can access it on my channel and I talk about you on my channel and all
You have no idea just how badly I want a new Bully. Out of all the Rockstar IPs around, there is none I want a sequel more to than this one.
EverDownward rockstar is the only game developer that has game we want remade, but they dont
***** Every rockstar game apart from their classics have all had a sequal one way or asnother oh and by claasics i mean lemmings
sonic radio they've made sequels, but not remakes(in bully's case, any of it will be awesome)
EverDownward I loved Bully too but do you want to know why Bully 2 will never happen? Here's why;
1. No announcements have been made - Bully has been out for 9 years now and sequels that take this long to come out after the first, would have atleast had an announcement that it's in development at this point.
2. The controversy it would cause - There is a silent holocaust of kids all around the world committing suicide from bullying and do you think the industry will allow a game that glorifies bullying? Sure the story of Bully was to stop the bullies but you could still bully if you wanted to do, and since Bully caused so much controversy because of this, i don't think R* will even have the balls to make another Bully.
3. It's not popular/well known enough - Not that many people know of the game Bully when compared to other Rockstar games and Bully on the PS2, Wii and Xbox 360 didn't sell that well and therefor i don't think a sequel will warrant enough money.
+korra a zuera Well, the Scholarship Edition was a remake, I believe.
I agree though, I'm too dying for a sequel.
The whole "goodbye gary" messages gives the vibe that its bully 2, like life after gary left. Or at least during the "endless summer" chapter. Well done, this is absolutely flawless!
Imagine if Petey turned against you in bully 2. He was just waiting for Gary to go so he could take over
It’s been almost 10 years since I first saw this video & I still occasionally come back to this cause it’s left such a good impression on me
That’s so cool aw thank you! 😊
You'd better have received top marks for this at uni. No joke, I'm actually in tears over this because it's a fantastic homage to my favourite game of all time. I'd buy a HD remake of the game in a heartbeat even though I'm dying for a sequel.
Lishaaaaaaa Thanks! The project is still being graded, as the official submission was about a month ago (because there are other written components etc.). I'm really glad you like it, and I have my fingers crossed!
+Lishaaaaaaa so many childhood memories with this game i know that map like the back of my hand i have dreams of this world at least 2 times a month its a great game
+joker here I know the map of bully, gta5, and pokemon more than my own neighborhood
its been 1 year, do you mind telling us what u got? x] love the edit btw
A remake?! We need a sequel ...well and a remake would be nice too
This is awesome.
Do you mind if I feature this on my channel?
Sure! Can you send me a link when it's up?
Wez Arthur No problem.
Swegmeister!!
Bro2494 ayy
Hey SWEGTA!
I would have flipped my shit if at the end, Jimmy tossed down his bag and said "It's good to be back." Then Bully 2 appeared on the screen. That was incredible.
I would've had to be admitted into a mental hospital...because I would have gone BATSHIT CRAZY!!
+D3th10rd would be amazing to see a sequel to the masterpiece
HOLY SH!T Where did u come up with that Quote???... Never Mind, but THAT WOULD OF BEEN A BEAUTIFUL, ICONIC, and a Tear Dropping intro for BULLY 2
Christopher Morris rockstar, making amazing games since 1997
Armorwing01 YEP :)
My childhood.. IN HD! :D
You've no idea how happy this made me! I hold this game so close to my heart and know it back to front and inside out. This was a perfect homage. Oh man, how much I'd love to play the whole game with visuals like this! Congratulations on your phenomenal work. I hope Rockstar make a sequel and take inspiration from this! :')
It would be, if he didn't steal this, say it is real, and not even credit the original creator (Wez Arthur). Here's the real video ruclips.net/video/C1uEzZY2t2Y/видео.html
Anthony Nguyen I get that your comment is three years old, but you genuinely linked to the same video on the same channel and I’m fucking dying of laughter man
DAMN! that was gorgeous... Rockstar, please hire this guy...
Incredible man, great work
Thanks everyone for the comments! If you're interested in any techniques, I'm creating an Art Book as part of my uni assignment. I'll be posting them here if you want to have a peek! www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146906&page=2
calitroit45 Haha unfortunately not! I'd love another game in the franchise... and to work for Rockstar
Wez Arthur way to go man. Really awesome.
I wonder what the entire school looks like but good job.
Do you have anything to download to other games like Gary's Mod?
Holy shit!!!! You are a God! I would buy the best PC ever just to play this.
This brings back so many great memories, great job dude!
Do you remember this?
@@freck2614 YES WESLEY'S A LEGEND FOR THIS
@@iCrazyTeddy :)
Even in 2017 , I still return to this video when ever i miss bully.
All i want from my life is another bully game, this game made my childhood.
I just wanna see the character models for next gen....so far Gary looks friken awesome!
And zoe
Bully is one of my all time faves. This is fantastic. The attention to detail is INSANE. A+
Damn 10 years already mate💀🥲🧨
Can’t believe it 🥹
This game is the only HD remake that really truly matters. Well done on the recreation, it's gorgeous. Also the music is awesome
Happy 10th Anniversary Bully
I can't believe everyone just steals this awesome video and gets credited for your hard work.
This was seriously awesome. Bully is also one of my all time favorites having beaten it 3 times, PS2, Wii, and Xbox 360. I was fanboying out at all of the references! You did an amazing job and I hope someone at Rockstar sees this to see how great this was. :)
Awesome project, Rockstar should hire you to work on the sequel.
This deserves so much more views and likes!!!!!!
I'm so happy I found the original! So many people reposting it and claiming it as their own
This is awesome. It's also a game that I really enjoyed and wish they would make a second one! Good job.
Thanks, me too! It was a brilliant and unique game. I hope they announce a second game this year (although I'd also love another Red Dead!).
its been 10 years, and im still waiting for a sequel to this amazing game, i beat it 3 times already and considering getting it on the wii as its the only version i havent played it yet
DeViiaTe Only three times? lol I bet it 30+ times
This really blows my mind. I wish this was something I could actually play in. You did a superb job with this project. I'm dying for a true HD remake like this for Bully and then seeing if they'll make Bully 2. If they ever did an HD remake, you should be on that team.
This is absolutely amazing. You don't know how much nostalgia just came out of me dude. I'm gonna go buy Bully on Steam now and play it again. Love the little details and the the references in there. I really wish they would make a new Bully. Maybe a college edition?
Superb homage! Well done. Could use some more dirt on/around that brick wall. Loved the little touches
Thanks! Yeah I used vertex painting on some of the larger surfaces, but maybe could've added some to the exposed brick too. Thanks for the crit!
Vertex painting? I didn't know that was still used very much (outside lighting stuff)! Shows how much I know
mrjimmyos Yep, it's quite handy for details over walls and floors. I used it to paint cracks and damp in the corridors.
This is amazing. It's stuff like this, that Attack on Titan fangame, and that Super Mario 64 HD remake that make me still believe there are creative people out there in the fields of design and creativity. Nice work, man!
This is the best 3D work I've ever seen
If a sequal doesn't happen, I want a remaster like THIS to happen. I'm still waiting :')
🤞🏻 we can hope!
Fantastic, I know you already got thousands of people stroking your hog, but you deserve every repetitive compliment. Loved Bully, re-playing it now actually and just typed in a search and saw this video. Many props!
+Wez Arthur
Dude, this is phenomenal. Bully is one of my favorite games of all time and...scratch that, it is my favorite game of all time...
It's nice to see a replica of the boys' dorm, and it just floods me with memories man. You're gonna have a great career ahead of you man. This really shows off your talent. Thank you for making this fantastic work of art. Your environmental design skills really show here. : ))))
This is, hands down, the best game remake I've ever seen! It's got so much character to it, just like the first bully.
This is actually one of the most amazing things I have ever seen,
I hope you get full marks for this :)
My jaw is on the floor right now. Highly impressed.
Just played this game through recently for the 4th time. So getting to see it like this is amazing. Great work!
The amount of details you have putted in to this project is commendable, I can't imagine how much time it took you to create it all.
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen! I love this game and to see it like this is nothing short of awe inspiring.
Woah. Bully 2
DarkMythHunter nope after RDR 2
2020?
You can tell a lot of hard work went into this, you should be very proud! Excellent
Rockstar would really hurt my soul if they never did a follow up to this game. It's bad enough they revisited Los Santos and completely x'd out Carl Johnson and the Grove Street families , and no I will never get over that. 😭
This is so incredible, hard work well done and lovely track to showcase it to.
Amazing work. I think we can all agree that we NEED a Bully 2!
This is so amazing, I can't imagine how many hours you must have put into all those assets
I absolutely love this! The memories :D
Wow, what a trek I've taken to get here. Thank you Uncle Mark.
These are incredible details and great design choices, I can't even make a circle in unreal engine, this must have taken you ages but it was so worth it.
See? THIS is what i want! A remake, not a sequel! Dude, just… awesome. I loved it.
That's amazing! It really gave the impression of "life after Gary" and I think rockstar should hire you for sure!
I'm hoping Rockstar are seeing this and seeing how much we are all crying out for a Bully 2. Amazing work.
Instant nostalgia. Excellent work.
Now that GTA 5 PC is released, I really hope Bully 2 is the next big project Rockstar publishes!
GTA 6 will possibly be released by 2025. So, I gues bully 2 will be around 2030 or later maybe
Nice Man!!! I Am So Proud About you MADE it!
my hope you take for rockstar
I love this! Wish Rockstar would make a new or remake this. What a classic!
Me too 😢
good god that was amazing, i love how you put the picture of zoe in jimmy's room...
And gary at the newspaper
+stefanus neka are they gonna make it
+Jaylen Crenshaw no, sadly, this is just a remake of the boys dorm in unreal engine 4
Incredible! That's what I always loved about Bully/Canis Canem Edit, the story was always more layered (somewhat short, but still great), the NPC's had well-constructed personalities, and even individual buildings themselves had something to tell. Not bashing GTA, but it would be a breath of fresh air for a sequel.
Bully was such an awesome game. Solid gameplay, great voice acting, hilarious dialogue and an awesome soundtrack.
Oh My God i'm crying right now, this is amazing job well done sir
You are crazy talented. Looks so incredible. Wish rockstar would realise a new bully with this design
This is amazing!
"Bully" is STILL one of my all time favorite games, and this is making me want a sequel even more now 😩😂
Nice job on the both the visuals and the soundtrack. I actually thought it was a song from the game.
Wow! Nicely done! Hopefully the game development community takes notice and picks you up! I enjoyed this video and the music! Awesome work guys!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love bully
Holy crap! This is amazing o_0
How long did it take you to do this?
Sup dude?
DarkMythHunter
Hi dark !
DarkMythHunter Same old, same old, man. I ran across this guy's creation after watching your video. It's kinda' ironic that all of us were uploading Bully content at the same time, lol.
You sir are the reason why developers consider making sequels. I hope they do, because of you!
WOW!!!AWESOME WORK MAN!Bully is one of my favorite games of all time i hope Rockstar can make one beautiful as this(plz dont kill me for my bad english xD)
Holy crap that's awesome,im also a fun of bully and you must be a fan of zoe i see a lot of her pic on the video
Haha yes, I was indeed! I wanted to emphasise the concluding events of the original game, so I tried to make it look like Jimmy scrapped the other photos.
Wez Arthur
Yes, Zoe is the best!! haha
Wez Arthur Yes! That's what i saw. It make sense that Jimmy kept the pic of Zoe. She was the best girl for him. I also really like the different details about Gary. "Good bye Gary" i really loved this idea, and i tried to read the article about him, but i am crazy.
Deserves to reach 1 million views, good job. :D
Grats with your degree, totally deserved. damn those are skills!
My dear m8, you did a good job. I hope that your skills will take your life to higher level, GOOD LUCK!!
that's was some work ! great job dude,. the graphics, the music, is so awesome 🤗
This is amazing. I have been playing through the game again recently and it's still one of the best games I've ever played. Really hope we get a Bully 2 some day, and if it looks half as good as this then that's a bonus! =)
This is awesome, fantastic job.
It is a madness Wez, I hope that rockstargames hire you to remaster this game
Great attention to the detail and great work overall!
Really hope you passed you're course with flying colours! This was amazing!
that's impressive man, well done!
This is absolutely amazing!
Wow,I tought someone was gonna announce a sequel at the end of this video. Anyway nice artwork dude
Thats fucking awesome dude, great job you did there! Keep that good work up!
A very nice job bro! I hope you get great marks for this. Best of Luck for the future!
Arthur you sir have imagination and talent....and this features bully...bravo
Wez Arthur you an amazing guy! Great Job! :D
That was beautifully done. I'd love to see Next Gen edition of the game come out on the consoles and computer.
we need this project as playable. This is great !
Looking good, man!
1:49 Dat LS Customs poster :O
This is pretty awesome, great work. I would love to see a new Bully game come to PC, X1, and PS4. I'm gonna start using 3DS Max soon so hopefully I can learn how to create environments as well as you can.
Just now coming across this, nice work bro
Amazing! Rockstar should hire you!
Awesome work dude. Congrats!!!
This is amazing, good job mate.
Nice job, looks absolutely awesome.
Omg I need to stop playing bully for God sake I've been playing bully since 2006 and I've never get bored
OMG! Perfect!!
Haha awesome! I'm glad some of my references have been noticed
xD :D
Watha Beauty, man, i stunned to see this, omg, fantastic work this is, you made us to eager about the game, i expect this graphics for Bully sequel. Man, im waiting for years, hoping for a positive result. - From India.
