Someone paid money to make this... Instead of your favorite game getting remade/remastered... We get this POS. THINK ABOUT THAT

At the beginning of the trailer, it says it allows players to play original or Repop mode which is censored and all footage is from the RePop mode
Does that mean that in order to have the rest of the quality of life improvements we have to play it censored?

I don't believe so they would have mentioned changes to gameplay otherwise.
RePop seems to be more visual differences.
Anyway comparison shots robbed from REEEE

Which surprisingly isn't REEing about it.
They seem excited 🤔
Edit, Spoke too soon someone is bitching about them not replacing Tara Strong 🙄
Also outfits

What did Tara Strong do to deserve the ire of Retardera?

Never played this first time round and that trailer does nothing for me. Certainly showing its age despite the lick of paint.

This will sell very well and much higher sales than the original. It’s a great time for Juliet to come back! Wonder how much money sweet baby inc is already trying to force the devs to pay.
 
I'm all for this re-release if it manages to pave way for a sequel (with Suda at the wheel). I really liked the original. Its a game full of personality, over-the-top action, and raunchy humour. Something that's really missing these days.

That's all the outfits?
No Rockabilly? No Evil Dead Ash? There are tons missing if that's the lot.
That's probably a licensing issue. Just like with reintroducing the original soundtrack.

I just took a look at the soundtrack of the original and there is 0 chance whatever they made for the new one is better. So if the licensed songs are not there I am out.

The lack of voice acting in the trailer makes me suspect that Jimmy Urine's VO has been cut after the controversy. Would love to be proven wrong.

The original licensed soundtrack missing from the game is disappointing and will change the game's feel, but it's somewhat understandable when you read the licensing reason from the developer. I hope the new soundtrack is at least fitting.

I have no idea why the RePop mode has less violence. The original game was always kind of ugly and this mode looks like a visual improvement to me, so it's disappointing if they don't have violence at least as an option. Hopefully it can be re-added.

I'm surprised that they have been able to keep the sexualization of the character intact, and in fact some of the outfits look even more risqué than before (bueno). Modders will do the rest on PC and may even be able to restore the soundtrack too.

I was concerned for this release at first and still have my apprehensions but it seems to have turned out better than expected. Probably worth a pickup as an addition to the original but not a replacement.

Based on what they say on the website
Lollipop by The Chordettes remains, and that means some others maybe still in there
Maybe Lollipop is cheap to license because how old it is.

the original music from 2012 release which is what was mostly playing throughout the game should be still present, but Hey Micky is definitely gone

The Producer has said the VO, script, story are untouched and identical to the original.

Original sold 1.3 million which is good for the time it release and the type of game.
Hopefully this sells more
Should have just replaced the original model and use Jessica Nigri likeness.
The original model is fine, Jessica actually looks like someone in their 20's cosplaying the character.
That not a knock on Jessica, just doesn't fit highschool cheerleader character.
Myself in 2024 as people are now older then the original release I'd probably go for Natalie Alyn Lind

Is this a from there website only or they gonna distribute it to others retailers like some of their releases.
If it's there site only then fuck that.
Their shipping make the price go through the roof
It looks like it might be only through LRG in the West. It will receive a regular retail release in Japan and other Asian markets though.

Also, some unrelated info:

If the game is not gonna have any DLC and I don't think it will but you never know.
Then its not a problem.
But it suppose to be a World-Wide physical release and this is not that.

This made me snag a 360 disc version. I had never played the game, but I remember when it was released. I'm having a great time with it! So much fun and the graphics and sound completely hold up. There is no slowdown or tearing (playing on an actual 360). The music is top notch.

I would tend to say, "why would anyone want a remaster when you can easily play the original", but I guess the publisher just wants to be able to sell the game since they can't legally sell the original.
 
Just saw this for the first time; I played the original for a while then.... just stopped for some reason, don't remember why. The 'less violence' thing is certainly a choice, but I'll probably pick it up anyway. The English in that trailer is rough, though.

Man, this trailer did nothing for me. Guess it's a good thing I already know I like the game.

If the trailer music is a sign of the rest of the new soundtrack then I'm not impressed. The lack of music from the original game is a huge negative but being an Unreal Engine game at least us PC folks should be able to put the original tracks back in fairly easily.
I wouldn't listen to it on the regular, but it sincerely reminded me of this:

If they actually went for that vibe in the game, then slap right into my Switch!

The price of collector editions has gotten out of hand. I picked up Persona 4 collectors edition for like $80 and it came with game, sound track, art book, calendar, plushy, and T-shirt. I will stick with digital Steam version here.

Idk what's happening with the physical release, but I'm seeing at this Czech store I sometimes buy my games from all 3 SKUs up for pre-order. Oh and for some reason the store is using the CERO covers for their PS5 and Switch listings.

There won't be any censorship NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt 👀
We have almost obtained the approval from all of the platforms on which LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW RePOP is scheduled for release.

This is very important for us, the original staff, but there were no requests for changes to the game content.

Pre-orders for the digital versions of PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch will be opening soon.

As I predicted, they did re-cast Jimmy Urine's VO for Zed:



It is now being done by a Stuart O.

So the producer flat out lied. Fuck this release.


BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And I bet that's just one of many changes

Get an original copy while you can guys

If you wanna play it that bad, mow a couple lawns and shell out $50 for an old 360.

Question is have they changed the script.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Looks like they're changing the style of some of the cut-scenes for the remaster.

From comic-book style panels to just using the in-game model.

Looks like the original will remain superior with all these changes despite saying the game is largely unchanged. What foolishness.

-Cut Music
-Recasted voices
-Altered ESRB Description
-Removal of Comic Panels in favor of ingame models with less information
-Gore/Blood mode is the optional one

I was excited for this Remaster until I seen all the changes they have been doing to the game. I'm gonna to emulate this instead. I have the ROM for the PS3 Version
