All I care about is if Hey Micky is back. It was so hype when you'd use your meter and tare through hordes of zombies while it plays.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Screenshots (Yoshimi Yasuda also confirms that the english voice cast from the OG will be intact)
- Thread starter TheKupoxBooper
- Start date
The producer has stated that 16 licensed songs are gone.
That's all of them: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2188807/soundtrack/
I'm here for it whenever it releases. Really wish they'd put out a trailer already. Like, enough with the screenshots. It's long past time to show RePOP in action.
It was originally planned to be a remake (that would be as close to a remaster as possible), but "due to fan request" it was instead changed to be a remaster.
I couldn't tell you what that means really, but I guess we'll see. I never got to play the original so I'm excited for this.
Guess I'm going to have to finish my old copy first. I still have a save I haven't finished from 2016(?) or something.
I definitely plan on playing the remaster but I remember so much charm from the original stemmed from the music selection. God I hate the state of modern music licensing.
Wonder if they'll keep Jimmy Euringer. I haven't heard much about the S. battery case since his label was dismissed from the case but from what I saw he was still awaiting trial.
tbh as long as they can get Akira Yamaoka back to make more original tracks to replace what they're losing it's at least understandable. Don't get me wrong some of the licensed tracks were really formative for my music tastes, but a good number of the original tracks were still fire.

I really enjoyed this game on PS3 back in the day, but it's definitely gonna hit different now that Tara Strong is an asshat and the needle-drops are gone.

As long as the combat really improves (a la Nier Replicant) then this could be a good release! <3 The visuals especially seeing a side to side comparsion really is good to see. the new one looks way colorful/vivid looking.
Tara Strong is also a disgusting racist.
Was really hoping for new actors.
Oh wow. That really does take a ton of the fun out of it. What a damn shame.
I remember back in the day, I played this on a friends house.
A guy said afterbeing saved: "I'm totally going to masturbate to you tonight."
Can't wait to play this from start to finish.

Not having the licensed music seems to be an exceedingly bad idea? Like it's the only thing I really remember from the original.
The licensed music situation sucks but I guess it's understandable. Music rights seem like a clusterfuck to deal with.
It's still an Akira Yamaoka soundtrack so I mean, it's gonna have some bangers regardless:

Really leaning into making the colors pop even more. Good choiceBeen a long time since I've played or even seen gameplay of the original so I made a comparison on imgsli for 2 of the screenshots to quickly slide back and forth between the original and the remaster.
Comparison #1
Comparison #2
EDIT:
Side by side for those who would prefer that instead.

I'm so there. Never played the original, so this'll be a treat. Good to see they kept the design the same, mostly.
This looks a lot better than I remember it looking. Also the interviews seem like the devs know that they're doing.
I'm actually looking forward to this now. Was initially disappointed that none of the original creators were involved but that may not be a bad thing. Especially after the Dead Space remake turned out so perfectly.

Since they changed the project into more of a remaster rather than full remake, I'd like to hope that maybe the soundtrack situation changed along the way since the producer's original quote was quite old if I recall and was from very early into the project. If not, I might pick it up on PC instead since I'm sure mods will reinsert the licensed tracks. The original soundtrack is still quite great but it used those licensed tracks to excellent effect.
I like the sound of the updates to combat feel. I bet even Grasshopper would approve on that front since their post-LC project Killer Is Dead tried to move toward faster and snappier game play as well, even when it buckled under UE3 being the worst piece of shit ever for this type of thing.

I was always going to get the PC version but now this is the main reason for me to do so.
Yeah. She wasn't even trying to be subtle about it after October 7.
(PragerU is a far-right extremist organization, if you haven't heard of them.)
TBH I forgot all about PragerU, been a long while since I heard that name. But yeah this sucks.Yeah. She wasn't even trying to be subtle about it after October 7.

The issue is just that the songs need to be licensed all over again, right? I could see the original soundtrack being added as DLC after the fact if the game makes enough money.
I played this back in the day and loved it. The only problem was the sluggish combat, so it's great to hear that might be improved.
What's the deal with the alternative Japanese VA? There should be an English alt too, given Strong's Islamophobia.

They claim they switched to a remaster because of feedback, but with them also not licensing the songs - which due to their relevance can't be that expensive - really does make it seem their expected budget just didn't work out so this is the contingency.

Yasuda speaks again about the game! There will be a new mode called "RePOP mode" which players can see a unique art style to the game with pop art damage effects that glamorize the entire screen xD Really want to see this in action now <3

Sounds more like the budget was slashed tbh, there's no chance they couldn't license the Chordettes' Lollipop or Hey Mickey again if they had a modest budget, those songs probably cost pennies. Would also explain remake->remaster
Seriously the OST downgrade is a huge fail for this project, so many of the setpieces were defined by the soundtrack
I imagine the licensed music while probably a budgetary issue may also be a result of Warner Bros. not being involved this time.
Aw shit, they're keeping the cast? Damnit, I was hoping for certain people to not comeback.
Shame about the licensed music too
