'Bully: Anniversary Edition' Launches on iOS App Store for $6.99

games on Apple TV no longer require the Siri remote and instead can be programmed to require a game controller only, hopefully we will start to see more games released on Apple TV over the next 6 to 12 months.

I hope you are right.
The Siri remote requirement was removed a while back, I think we would have seen some decent games by now. It is almost like game developers gave up on tvOS. I hope not.

Is this kind of a 2016 remake of Skool Daze?

Glad I'm not the only one old enough to remember this game

Actually Apple has dropped that requirement. I also thought this was the case, but it was changed like six months ago.

it seems like maybe Apple may have ruined any chances of the ATV4 becoming a gaming box by first requiring developers require the siri remote. Now that Apple has changed their mind on the remote requirement, it seems like developers have no interest in bringing nice games to the tvOS.

****, I was at WWDC this year and even I missed this change. Just goes to show you how much they shot themselves in the foot by making this a requirement for the first year.

The issues is the requirement that all games/apps be fully playable with the Siri remote, which is not in anyway capable of being a game controller for much more than a side scroller or a racing game. If Apple drops that restriction and lets developers build specifically for MFI Game Controllers I think we'd see the quality of games on the Apple TV skyrocket.

Do you mean, if Apple would drop a requirement that they already dropped last June? A double drop?

The Steelseries Nimbus is probably one of the best gaming-related investments I've ever made. I finally went back and played a bunch of iOS ports like KOTOR, FFVII-IX, and the GTA series that I could just never get into with touch controls. It really is a great little controller. Works flawlessly with OpenEmu on the Mac as well (so long as you aren't playing a game that requires a select button; it has none).

+100. The Nimbus is bar none the best controller I've ever used.

I'm surprised that games like this which encourage bullying and others stealing cars and others killing people are approved anymore due to its societal incorrectness in this PC world that Tim lives in.

It took more than a full page of posts related to the game and gaming before this kind of thing came up.

This game costs less than Super Mario Run.

I'll look into that, thanks Blasto.

This game will be a great influence for all the children playing it on their iPhones in the schoolyard

Now it's been a while, but wasn't the main plot here that the protagonist is NOT a bully and frequently has to stand up for himself and other students against bullies?

Exactly. Watching fools spout passionate ignorance never gets old, does it?

 

[RobNYC]

Which sounds like it was a release of a 33 year old Spectrum game.

No, more like Grand Theft Auto for boarding school.

Pretty much. He's kind of an outsider in the game and has to sort of take on all the various school cliques.
