- Maybe Heather is a reference to the 80's teen movie Heathers with the big hair and her name? - The Exchange Student is actually adorable and I wish she was in the final game, but I feel like she was reworked into Angie: Both girls are clearly Asian and ES has a cute bow and a Hello Kitty backpack. Angie has cute flower barettes and can often be heard talking about how she loves bunnies, which most people think are cute.

Bully concepts from ‘02...interesting

I’m tripping, I don’t know why I thought this said _“Bully 2020”_

Funny fact about that punk kid . There is a store you can buy punk pants and there is one with a chain it looks like a lot the one he is seen wearing

2002 Mr Luntz looks like a Manhunt character lol

It's amazing how much Bully info is still surfacing to this day.

There are mentions of drugs in Bully, like when the guy behind the school asks him if he has them, and there's a line asking Jimmy if he's on drugs, it was either a prep or a bully that asks, can't remember which. There is also a task of getting prescription pills from the trash for Edna, which she used to drug the chemistry teacher with.

13:13 Makes sense as to why Wade says "I'll break every bone in your scrawny little body, chump!" If he was that large, since in the final he is quite small and makes him sound more of a wannabe tough guy (which makes sense also of course).

Im sure that the Exchange Student is a very early version of Angie as angie appeared in a whole lot of beta screenshots implying that she was one of the earliest characters to be added.

I knew something like this was coming. Great video. Trust me, in the future, someone will get their hands on beta version. And then we will finally see beta boys dorm and academy and many more. Only time will tell when...

I get Ed Edd n Eddy/Beavis and Butthead vibes from the early concepts, kinda cool tbh.

I love the bully community so much it’s very different then other games... oh and great vid as always Nathan 👍

2:09 “Briefcase Wanker “ 💼

I would honestly love to see 2002 Pitch screenshots that was shown to the Press and Rockstar Higherups, meaning VERY early presentation prototype gameplay to show off their concept and gameplay ideas to get the company to back them up on their idea. Probably forever lost but it would be interesting to see.

its funny, if you look at R* games and how unique they made characters, on one end you have Max Payne/GTA where nearly all characters are no-names or just kill fodder, and then on the other end you have Bully where almost every. single. character. was named, had a personality, and a small background. even the most insignificant like the prefects. the only ones i can think of who aren't special are the police officers.

I feel like in these concepts the game was clearly supposed to take place in a modern (for the release time) setting, and not be ambiguous about the time period. We see a goth girl, punks and a hello kitty backpack.

I love looking at all these art style! I don't why but something about them feels...kinda hard to explain like I've seen somewhere before...

Love seeing all this stuff, never knew it existed, thanks Nathan!

Mr Luntz looks pretty good in these concepts. Wish that design was used in the final game

The dude from the graveyard culd have been used in the 7th chapter cut grave mission

I think if bully 2 is ever released that the skaters should be a clique and the main character gets a skateboard from a mission like help one of the main characters friends fight the skate borders and steal the board

4:59 He seems to have the chain on his trousers, like Otto does.

The beta Wade Martin isn't actually an old concept art of him but he's another character, he can be seen in the bully comic book at the main menu.

Very interesting video, I had no idea Bully went that far back. I’ve always wondered how old the students of Bullworth are meant to be as some of the concept arts look very young while the prefects seem to be about 18 or 19

Exchange student might be Angie lmao

Dr crabblesnitch kinda looks like pastor Richards from vice city , like if you look at pastor Richards art design and then look at crabblesnitch they look similar

I wish they would make the original ideas for bully into a real game. I know it will probably never happen but I just want to see it.

The radio DJ would probably be a mission charachter because we dont see the DJs in GTA.

The early concepts of Bully would have made a great game.

16:08 Holy crap, it's Jeff from Earthbound.

The radio DJ looks like Billy Butcher from The boys or the radioman from Spec ops: The line

av is like a typical little angel that they say very good but in the end he is a son of a bitch av is angel voice

For the gangster and the stoner,bully most likely would had have a gta San Andreas vibe and they would both have major roles in the story

We neeeeeed bully 2

The original Bully seems like it shoud've focused on 12 years olds, not teens!

Wish they mod the concept MR Luntz into the game! The dialogue matches more with the creepy face than the final face lol.

13:28 These concepts may be called Alpha, Proto-version, Version of Concept (even though you are showing just concept art, and that can be difficult to not confound people), etcetera.... ...Because I forgot the rest; it happens.

I cant imagine how the game would look I can scarcely imagine the one with animated textures , but the drawings wow would be a different game

Didn’t know it was in Development so long 🔥

@TheNathanNS you forgot to mention the kim nametag on the shopkeeper 17:37

It was a completly differend game,shame we will never know any of this as it seems brilliant Also the girl has a name while Garry does not,damn the need for knowlage is killing me it was sutcha bigger and darker game

6:36 It's Andy Griffith everybody.

Hi. I love your videos

Looks like it'd fit more as a cartoon than a video game.

10:09 The panicky kid is most likely Pedro.

I fucking love you Nathan you did such an amazing job😍😍😍

Really good❤❤❤

Are you sure Chuck wasn't supposed to be Bullworth staff? He looks like he's balding

17:11 Nathan, would you mind telling your neighbours to keep the noise down, please?

Recreation time, yay

16:09 he reminds me of a really young version of vector from despicable me

Beta janitor is actually retired mma fighter Pat Berry

4:35 they do mention drugs with the homeless dude. When you first meet him he asks for alcohol then drugs

8:05 that’s my sleep paralysis demons sleep paralysis demon

13:59 aren't the kids in Bully around that age tho?

This makes me so sad for what could have been

I think Chuck eventually became into that snitch we call Sheldon.

It’s so sad to think will was going to be in Bully I hope he makes it in Bully 2

That's so cool 😎 I love me some beta

The tall bully is constantinos

The swim captain looks like Burton in his younger years.

Casy is latter changed to Gloria if i am correct compare it just for once

4:11 I always found it weird with chapter 1 saying about serial killers and stuff.

Love old concept arts

All the other punks are not in the game but if u use untitled selector u can find ian

Bully Beta - 2019

It would be cool if we could still get a bully that would still have more childish overtones. Like maybe something set back in the 50's that would include bullworth from the past and have old school preps and greaser and explain more about their rivalries as well as what the jocks and nerds would be like back then with maybe some extra cliques to replace Russel's crew. The townies being full on hillbillies could be cool as well and being inspired by old school settings from movies around the time. Like bring back the junkyard and have a mission be to bother the junkyard owner to entertain your friends or as a rite of passage. Also have a baseball field as a boss battle area against the jocks as maybe a reference to sandlot. They could also have an outsiders style rumble where the actual focus is on the carnage rather than singling out Peanut and Johnny. I feel like it could still have the same vibes as the original bully we have but also have the story maybe focus on having a single girl that you have a crush on in school to kind of recapture those days and just getting into mischief hanging out down the river. An old school kind of vibe I feel like would work well for a bully game as that's what everyone always gets from bully anyway. Maybe just have it relate to Jimmy's future story later on like we play as or meet Jimmy's grandfather and have references to all the pop culture and events at the time.

this is all opinion what im gonna say, but in the first concept art i think it suppose to be the main character that we play it, i say it becouse that kid remind me of another kid from that bully beta animation where he is the victim of the beta russell's attacks. i dont think that having a ganster or a mafia guy in the game would make it kinda dark it, there alot of kid shows in that time that have one time gansters or criminals in it, that even include to some E-Rated games that mafia people in it like the "the sims 2" for the nintendo game, the implementation wont be dark aslong the execution it done right to make it more cartoonish or comedical. looking at the religious kid it concept art it do really make me think how the game would be like if they have a faction related with religion, that could be something interesting to see. anyway, nice video! i wonder where do you get those concept art from?

Could death obsessed girl be a very early concept of Zoe? Considering she was meant to be a part of the punks and the later beta versions had her hair sort of similar to the one here (with two strings in front).

Concept art Russell looks a bit like Ed from Ed, Edd N Eddy

Idk why but that Chuck kid reminds me of Chris from the show Everybody Hates Chris..

15:18 nah that looks like Galloway then crabblesnitch

Bro that small nerd is just Jeff from Earthbound

It would be cool if this bully took place in the 50s 60s 70s or a older time

I don't think Gr 10 meant ten characters. I think it just meant what year of school they were in

Up the punx. Bring the punx and skins to bully 2. And please keep the rockabilly types!

I don’t like how mr luntz looked like during the concept stage

Cool

dr slawter looks like a sadistic dumbledore

I have a feeling the Cassie character would have been kidnapped at some point in the original story. Seems like generic thing to do in these types of games. Rescue the kidnapped girl.

Chuck goes to the academy with his gf Cassie and gets bullied by bully’s and cheats on his gf with heather ?🤷🏻‍♂️

Main character grade 10, grade 8, perhaps. (10th graders are 15, 8th graders are 13--hence the more youthful look for gr.8.)

Or the one who you say is me maybe its Constantinos Brakus bc he is in the story as the mascot

I want chuck to be the main character in bully2 WHAT IF BULLY2 is bully beta That would be amazing SMASHING! NOW, TELL ME HOPKINS... Is it true you said i was inbred?

What the hell is happening to your graphics, my eyes hurts

Maybe Gary died in the final game and you went to his grave in the epilogue that’s just my theory

Rockstar should remake the game with all the cut content since they can do so much more with the game now that the technology is bettet

Finally someone came up with reshade presets that look like you're recording your monitor with your smartphone... yikes...

Looks like the title of that one video "Bully History 2003-Present" didn't age well

This was a year after GTA III

Johnny Vincent could be a mafia guy

Maybe chuck is an early sheldon

I honestly prefer these more diverse, exaggerated characters over the actual game.

Noice

I do like your videos. The content is good. But I think the all caps titles are a bit much.

Maybe the Creepy Janitor was meant to be the perverted faculty member instead of Burton

stoner kid is my favorite character beta

“Akin to Stalin” lol

If it took forever then same I think it'll be the same now

I think the little boy that was deleted could've been Jimmy's little brother or something, like Sam n Dan Houser. Just an idea tho.
