Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP

Dragami Games has delayed the Lollipop Chainsaw remake from its previously planned 2023 release window to summer 2024, as well as announced its official title to be Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP. Platforms were not unannounced.

“Although development of RePOP was carried out with the intention of a 2023 release, our commitment to providing the best possible quality experience to our players led us to making the hard decision to extend the development period in order to ensure this,” Dragami Games said in a press release.

“We sincerely apologize to all who had been waiting for the latest installment in the Lollipop Chainsaw series, and kindly ask for your understanding in this matter.”

I bought this last year and was a SLOG. Gameplay and mechanics very early 360 era. Was not interesting at all....other than the chick in a schoolgirl outfit.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
They're going to fuck this up royally somehow. Most of the writing and humor simply wont fly today.

Glad I have an OG copy. Get em while you can.
They said other then the music for licencing issues nothing is being changed.

Hehehehe hilarious how people welcome remakes of awful games and they scream at god when GOATs are remade.
GOATs don't need to be remade. That's why they are GOATs. Remasters (especially to bring it to more current platforms so there is easier access) are often good though, but also sometimes not, there's a difference.
Also, not sure who you are addressing here. Pretty much everyone thinks this game will be completely neutered for the sake of the modern agendas.

That is your point of view. I for one love remakes of GOATs. I rather pay again for a vastly revamped experience than just porting the game to a newer console for a quick update of the assets regarding improved resolution and the quality of textures and lighting that is boring and lazy.
It is not a matter of if X and Y games need to be remade or remastered. The company is offering a remake and for me if I loved the game enough, I will go back to that universe expecting something a little bit different and not the same. I know not everyone will be pleased and it’s impossible to please everyone and nowadays older and supposedly more mature people behave like whiny little bitches because the author of the remake “butchered” the fond memories that someone had of a certain game.

I do not take names so I am not addressing to anyone in particular, but, if you have been around when remakes are announced and released there is certain mob that will bitch about That for a very very long time and repeat themselves on the fact they are not happy and they are not going to buy such remakes and they want the rest of the people To think their way.
And I do not care about agendas I know we live in a very particular era where new ideologies are pushed into a lot of content. But I know I’m Not going to be brainwashed by that and I will take in the good parts I enjoy and discard the things I don’t like.
 
I’m usually a pretty big Suda51 fan, but on release this game seemed like the least inspired of any of Grasshopper’s games. It just felt like one big forced quirky shtick. Kooky cheerleader girl fights Zombies? How fun and quirky; only the creative genius of James Gunn could come up with such a thing! Let’s ignore the fact that zombies were old hat like 3 years prior. The main heroine wasn’t funny at all and just made annoying comments constantly.

And the gameplay/combat almost felt like a step back from even NMH1. At least the soundtrack was well selected licensed music. That being said of the 360/PS3 Suda/Grasshopper games Shadows of the Damned and Killer is Dead were way better.

Yet strangely enough LPC was still is my favourite of the 3.
Wanna know when we're getting a trailer do we can see what it looks like.

Oh you don't take names and you're not addressing anyone in particular? Yet you decide that you want to bring into this thread, some meta discussion from comments you've read elsewhere? Nobody even referred to what you're talking about until you brought it up.

Not only that, you seem to have some hostility towards differing opinions since you're going as far as calling other members "whiny little bitches". What are you? Some fucking ball washer that thinks everyone should just accept anything their given? People have every right to reject completely middling and toothless games, especially when it's a remake or remaster that cuts content from the originals for no other reason than to appease the modern idiot.

Kind of interested in this, I played the original on the 360 but never got around beating it. Sucks that it got delayed but hopefully this means it will be a better game for it.

I have to say at least this guy seems passionate about the changes he's making to the game. A lot of companies would have just shit out a barebones port and not bothered with it. I'll probably pick it up just to support his passion for the game.
 
Music being changed or removed I count as fucking up. The soundtrack is a big part of the experience.

I mean why even bother. If it makes me sound like a purist prick so be it lol

Seriously! Music licensing is a fuck up. Period. Pay the money or don't rerelease the game.

Also, wtfiu with The Sphere Hunter? On the Twitter for Lolipop she posts a video of herself making faces and poses for 2 minutes. How fucking narcissistic are some of these Youtubers today?

Nope, learned my lesson with SB.
All games marketed as "sexy" fall under one of two options: either purchase within 10 days of release if the gameplay and all content align with the advertised material, or rent for $15 if either of the two criteria is not met.

SB really? The outfits that were ‘censored’ added things like Tights/ Stockings which arguably makes them sexier. Despite this theres still even MORE revealing outfits that were completely untouched. Besides any of that though the important part, and this is truly the important part, the gameplay is still great…So kneejerk reactions seem kinda silly in this instance given the content exactly matches the advertisements…

I get the feeling that this game is not gonna make enough money to earn back the money being put into it. I appreciate that they're trying to treat it with care, but they probably should have just hired people to make Juliet's model look hot and then released it as a remaster. The dev time has just been so long for what this is, and unless the employees are working for free, this has to be bleeding cash.

And Juliet's model looks off.

SH overcompensates because he's playing a role. Social media just ratchets it up even more.

The title says remake. And a quick search on google everyone mention it as a remake. So I guess it is a remake.
I could have sworn it started out as a remaster then flipped to remake which played a part in the delay. At this point I'm expecting them to flip to remaster again and Summer 2025.

Suda51 gets free $ from me.

I never played the original so day one for me unless it’s buggy or runs like shit.
