The whole thing with folk music and punk rock is that it can be good whilst not technically sounding good.
As an example, Johnny Hobo is perfectly situated between folk and punk rock. Horrible chain-smoking voice pushed to its max, shitty acoustic guitar just being beat on, and it sounds so like it was recorded on a laptop.
But it’s completely unique, authentic, and heart wrenching.
You can feel his despair and a lot of it is precisely because of these things. I don’t think any high-quality version of this song would make nearly the same impact. In fact it would probably sound like shit.
Just not sure where they would even go with this or how it would be very fun.
I think Bully happened at a time in gaming when it was pretty groundbreaking and unique. I don’t think they could recapture that.
Upon replaying Bully as an adult, it felt like it was a good story built atop a lot of mediocre mini-games.
Sorry - I really loved the game when I was young so this was hard to admit to myself.
