There's a fan-made port for Bully: Scholarship Edition working on Unreal Engine 5.8 to showcase how a nearly two-decade old game can look. This fan project shows the possibilities of new engine features being applied to older titles, even if there isn't any official support from the game's publisher. So, if you're curious how this classic game from Rockstar looks with new rendering methods, now you can play it.

Fan project uses AI tools to modernize classic Rockstar title

The project is spearheaded by a dev going by @ashen_one. He's created a playable port with the use of AI. You need to have a PC version of the original Bully: Scholarship Edition from a legal source for this to work. There's source code for it on GitHub, so you can participate in the further development of the unofficial port.

In terms of tech specs, you can see that this latest build runs 45 FPS at 1080p on a Mac. It's specifically stated by the developer that it's an experiment and not an actual commercial remake. It's labeled as an unofficial, non-commercial and WIP fan project. The focus is mainly on tech exploration, not 1:1 feature replication.

People commenting on this latest build have criticized the use of a photorealistic lighting that makes the game lose its original gritty art style. The developer also mentioned that he probably won't be able to complete the whole campaign. So, the focus is mostly on the viability of this port. Thus, we have more of a proof of concept than the full restoration.
