If you want to play a shallow fighting game that combines bad humor, cheesecake, and gore, Splatterhouse would be delighted to get a little of your attention. It knows what it is and it delivers. But the gravest insult in Lollipop Chainsaw is that it’s such an obvious and vapid attempt at Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Bayonetta. You, ma’am, are no Bayonetta.
With these hidden gems to add to your backlog, it’s time to give some bangers the shine they deserve.
Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.
The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.
At fans request apparently.
i wonder if they looked into what a remake would cost and went "NOPE Remaster it is" haha
It probably has to do with what the producer had mentioned recently. The thing about not wanting to change the essence of the original (e.g censorship). So maybe remastering the game was the best choice.
The link to the story didn’t really answer the question. It makes no sense that you have to censor a remake and not a remaster.
What I got from that article is licensed music forced them to change to a Remake(?) and that they’re working hard with the platform holders to negotiate not censoring, which Sony is stupid about.
My question is, how would a Remaster not have to go through censorship?
I’ve seen dialogue changed in FF7 and Baten Kaitos. Then you have actual cutscenes being removed like in the dmc remaster.
I assume the same could be done to this game.
Bull sh*t, you show me where fans wanted a Remaster instead of a Remake. I was more onboard with a Remake, I’m less excited just playing the same game I did before but now with sharper textures and better framerate.
Probably realised this won't do the numbers so didn't want to invest.
No harm, I love Lollipop Chainsaw but it's a bit of a niche title.
Loved it back in the day and have my copy sat on the shelf and ypu are right, it was super niche, which is why my copy is increasing in value slowly but surely. Hoping a remaster doesn't tank the value of my PS3 copy
It's game time!, or is it hacking and slashing time? Doesn't matter! Enjoy the best hack and slash games on the Xbox 360
Ninja Gaiden 2 was never multiplat. NG Sigma 2 is a remixed game not the same game at all
Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.
Yeap, classic GoW is still better mechanically. But the aesthetics and atmosphere of Dante's Inferno were just top-notch. Shame it never got a PC port, but at the very least is available on modern Xbox.
I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.
How is it like Buffy or Bayonetta? Just cause it's a high paced fighting game?
This is the same site that gave journey and catherine both a 2 out of 5. Soooo..
I would like to read their review for No More Heroes 1 & 2 or God Hand, or Killer 7, I am pretty sure that these are bad too.
A never heard of website trying to hits, can't blame them.
@WeskerChildReborned - It's like Buffy and Bayonetta in regards to style and tone. Buffy and Bayonetta are both campy properties with witty dialog, much like what Suda 51 and James Gunn attempted with Lolipop Chainsaw.
@leahcim - I'd be more wary of the fact that game reviews are almost all the same in terms of score and tonally these days. Tom Chick is considered a "Troll", a disgustingly catch-all word for "this guy doesn't agree with me, therefore he must be lying", with his reviews but these are his opinions and he's been consistent with them.
Negative reviews are important, probably more so than positive ones because they tend to highlight the perceived negative aspects of a game, rather than highlight the ones that are deemed good.
@listenkids - Never heard of Quarter to Three? Strange. It's a pretty popular website that a ton of developers and industry folk post on. Recently, Tom Chick, the owner of the website started posting his reviews there instead of on other websites like SyFy's Fidgit.
I guess he prefers working solo.
