Following the announcement of the Lollipop Chainsaw Remake, producer and Dragami Games CEO Yoshimi Yasuda took to Twitter to explain some relevant points.
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
"I neither endorse nor condemn [the remake]! I simply don't know anything about it."
While the james gunn non involvement is news suda not being involved is not news as he just had a supervisor role in the original anyways.
The original director bought the IP back from Kadokawa and is remaking it with Warner Bros(original publisher in us) blessing with a new team.
So the original voice cast are Hollywood friends of james gunn so they probably won't be back. Hopefully they at least get tara strong back.
Dragami Games president Yoshimi Yasuda has released a statement regarding Lollipop Chainsaw Remake, which is slated for a 2023 release.
The people remaking this are different from the original developer and have never made a game before you dolts!
Yea, what weird times we live in where we can’t just get straight up sequels anymore. I’m with ya, man.
The people making it could've made something new instead of something old and not really compelling. What dolts!
If this remake is profitable they should do Shadows of the Damned next. That came out a little before lollipop chainsaw and was one hell of a ride. Still excited for Lollipop!
The company releasing this remake looks to be new. They also have the rights to Killer is Dead but not Shadows of the Damned by the looks of it.
Not my type of game because of all the fanservice in it, but at least a game like this being remade shows that the voice of an insane mind like Suda51 is still being listened to, which is good
You'd have a heart attack then if you played the 18+ eroge version of something like Nekopara or Maitetsu then, lol
Wonder what they mean by realistic graphics…. Hopefully not censored. I also liked the cartoon look. Seems like a remaster would have been better but we’ll see.
Great news
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Great news, can’t wait to see some footage. But the last line worries me. I hope MS and Sony let the devs have their freedom.
Well look at that you can make a remake without changing stuff ff7r battle system
