Fantetti Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 So after a google search I discovered this release was in Europe only, which is fine I have a separate account for just this reason. But I cannot locate the game in the store, but I might have. I see something called "Canis Canem Edit". It has the same cover art, and the description looks to be the same. Is this "Bully" just like I played on Xbox 360? Why the name change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFoxAnymore Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The game is called Canis Canem Edit in EU. It's the same game, I'm not sure why the name was changed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure it has a different name because they didnt want to promote bullying or something along those lines. Seems the most likely reason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenden Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Had the same problem today when I was going to buy. But it's the same game and everything, just a politically correct name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFoxAnymore Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Here's what I found online - "Probably because with Rockstar's notoriety at the time, a game called Bully would have been assumed by parents to be some kind of super-violent glorification of bullying, so the name was changed to avoid controversy. Anyway, I personally prefer the name Canis Canem Edit, but I still refer to the game as Bully because, well, Canis Canem Edit is rather an unwieldy name" Also Canis Canem Edit apparently means Dog Eat Dog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon-Patrick-S Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Now that I think of it I kind of wish we got a port of the Xbox 360/Wii Bully: Scholarship Edition which had a lot of new content added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo_0113 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Dog eat Dog: used to describe a situation in which people will do anything to be successful, even if what they do harms people I guess its another way of saying bully. Very clever Rockstar Edited March 22, 2016 by Gibbo_0113 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantetti Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks for the explanation, very helpful. One of you mentioned the scholarship edition,which is what my 360 version was. Will this version lack some of the content? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantetti Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 It'll lack whatever content was new in the scholarship edition. Since this is an emulation of the original PS2 version It appears from the Rockstar site thats limited to classroom content. So more being a Bully, and less learning in this one. I'm fine with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellslikejavier Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) It appears from the Rockstar site thats limited to classroom content. So more being a Bully, and less learning in this one. I'm fine with that. according to wikipedia: "The Scholarship Edition features exclusive content which is unavailable in the original version, including new missions, characters, school classes, and unlockable items and clothing. Some small script changes have been made, and the highly compressed voice files of the original have been replaced with higher-quality versions. The random NPCs also have more lines. In addition, single system two-player competitive multiplayer minigames have also been added. All ports of the Scholarship Edition use the game engine Gamebryo, rather than Renderware, which was used for the original version." but anyways the game is also really fun in its original version so it doesn't matter really.

Damn, so it is missing quite a bit. But I'm sure it will still be fun as hell to replay. In this case I suppose I'm glad I enjoyed it on 360 about a decade ago when I did.
