Common Misconceptions: PS2

Once again, I see a lot of people saying how things were cut from the game for many reasons:

"There wasn't enough space on the DVD.”

Not true. BULLY has a couple hundred Megabytes of free space. (Not to mention the scrapped content they could've deleted)

"The PS2 wasn't powerful enough.”

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

"Because of the T Rating."

That rating is actually pretty flexible and BULLY's cut content would probably not be enough to turn it to an M Rating.

The Joker almost drops an F-bomb in Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Realistic guns in Shadow The Hedgehog (and it's not even a T-Rated game).

What are the actual reasons for features being cut?

What the developers have to say

As you may already know, Rockstar Games is a pretty secretive company. Every now and then, however, someone manages to contact developers, who can share stories.
This is what Andrew Wood had to say in regards to the 2nd floor of the Boys' Dorm:

"When Bully started, it was an eight person Env team, by the third year in on production it was down to just myself and Jae Lee. Things needed to go."
