Lollipop Chainsaw Remastered Officially Announced.

[EDGES]

I'll have to wait for the inevitable 1:1 comparison between what will be changed and what will be kept before I decide if I buy this for sure

[…] As for me, I never played this...never really saw the appeal. Hot chick in a skirt killing zombies pretty much summed everything up for me. Might check out the remake though, we'll see. 

 

Eh, that’s sort of like saying God of War is “burly man screams and kills gods, sums it up for me” or “ragtag outcasts try to save the world” for (any of them, really) Final Fantasy. There’s more to it. The game actually had a pretty funny and well done story (if you enjoy things like Buffy or Charmed, anyway), very good combat mechanics with a decent challenge, and lots of humorous callbacks that old farts like me enjoyed, at least (the Pac-Man level, anyone?)

 

That being said, the producers being who they were and the gaming public being who they were, they definitely advertised it on the “hot chick kills zombies” angle.

I don't know why, but that last paragraph about a more realistic approach to the graphics makes my stomach turn... can you already imagine ugly "social network controversy" Juliet? ?

I really hope I'm completly wrong...

The original version of the game, Japanese edition was heavily censored, didn't even have any blood in it, just weird sparklings...

Huh didn’t know that. 
Something else that has me worried is most of the licensed music from the original isn’t going to be featured apparently and they make up a huge part of the tone of certain levels.

Huh TIL James Gunn wrote Lollipop Chainsaw.

[Skurkitty]

Been watching eBay for a PS3 copy on and off, guess I'll stop doing that now. A remake though, that's outstanding! I'd have expected a simple remaster / port. Very excited and look forward to seeing that first look appear in the future.

good, now one wont have to pay $100+ just to be able to play the ps3 title

Kinda sad it's going to have new music because the original game introduced me to some artists I never would have known about if not for the game.

Too bad SUDA51 won't be involved this time, same with James Gunn

That’s a good news! I hope they’ll also consider to remake of the other SUDA 51 games. I want to see Shadows of the Damned, Killer is Dead and No More Heroes too. I have the PS3 versions as collectibles, but it would be way more cool to play them on new gen. ^^

 

I wonder if there will be a new Valentine Edition variation with some steelbook or something.. I have bought the PS3 version of the Valentine Edition some months ago and to honor it’s title i platinumed it on 14 February at 14:14 with the last trophy was “I Swear! I Did It By Mistake!” Lol. And i will gladly do it again. =D

Grasshopper manufacturer isn't involved with the remake. Totally different company

How did you manage that? For me it was the first trophy, like 10 seconds into the game

That was my last trophy as well. Was something easy to leave for last to pop quickly

Same. I just ordered the PS3 copy as an insurance in case they fuck it up. I'm ready to forgive different music being licenced though. That's understandable.

 

 

Not a dealbreaker that these OGs aren't in it. End product is the benchmark.

I saw few images floating on the internet that are apparently part of the remake, which looks more like a remaster than anything. I'm not sure if they are 100% legitimate. 

[MonaSaxPayne]

I bought this game back in 2020 during the initial pandemic

 

paid maybe $30 for it on amazon brand new. now I'm seeing it at $100 new/$60 used wtf

 

I still have my copy

 

who wants it? lol

[DARKKRAKEN666]

Hopefully those pics above are legit and they have not changed the look of the character too much like they seem to have done to Harley in the Suicide Squad game just to conform to fake outrage.

Based on the very first post though it sounds like a bunch of the people originally involved are the ones that bought up the rights to the game.

I may be somewhat controversial here, but I found this game incredibly dull. I have a pretty juvenile sense of humor, so I thought this would be right up my alley. The game made me smile maybe twice and I found the gameplay insanely boring, the game offered no exploration whatsoever and the combat, even with it's flashy visuals, was just boring. I really wish I would have enjoyed this more, but the game wasn't even bad, it was just a chore to play.

Interestingly enough, James Gunn said that Suda and him aren't currently involved with the development for the remake of Lollipop Chainsaw as if to suggest that there's still a possibility of it.

Price rise has started. Up to 34 quid in CEX now, been 30 for the last 5 months.

Agreed, I just didn't find the game to be fun at all. Took me multiple years just to play through it

Peeped under Juliet's skirt once

..

 

You think this will still be there

not likely however the fact that she keeps flipping and doing split kicks does give one a laugh. sorry lady we have already seen what's under the skirt  as the skirt fell when you did that flip split kick 5 times in the last stage and we did not even have to try to peep. s/

 

I would do wonder will it really be a remake, a remaster or will it be a butchered re-imagining?

EDIT: Not sure why the link duplicated and the website won't load properly for me to edit it out.

[DARKKRAKEN666]

Yeah by what he said on Twitter they didn’t want to call it a remaster because they won’t be able to use 16 music tracks from the original game but a remaster is essentially is what they are making.

I appreciate their openness with this and their desire to keep things as close to the original as possible. It's also nice that they acknowledged the censorship concerns even if they don't have an answer for us yet. They're going to have a hell of a time trying to "negotiate" with Sony and Microsoft when it comes to that. I wish them luck, but if worst comes to worst which I fear it will, I hope they at least release an uncensored version on PC.

Similar sentiments here. It was alright, I had a decent amount of fun with it, but it wasn't anywhere near as enjoyable or humorous as I was hoping for. I noticed I haven't really greatly enjoyed any of the Suda51 games I've played - I enjoyed Shadows of the Damned a bit more than Lollipop Chainsaw, but it was still something I'd say was kind of mediocre. The Silver Case bored me to tears and I've always been apprehensive about the sequel ever since as a result. Wish I could enjoy these games more, as they seem like something I should enjoy, but just can't. It's a completely different series and genre, but I also feel the same way about Hitman - really wish I could like it, but I can't no matter how many times I try. Always bugs me the most when I don't like a game, but feel like it should be right up my alley.
