Now Playing: Video Review – Lollipop Chainsaw
Lollipop Chainsaw’s visuals are being dialed up to feature “a more realistic approach” to graphics thanks to the power of current-gen consoles and PC, according to Dragami. On the soundtrack side, several of the game’s original tracks won’t be included in the remake due to licensing issues and will be replaced with new music entirely.
“Unfortunately, various factors resulted in things making it so that fans can no longer easily play Lollipop Chainsaw, and it has been some time since players have not been able to access the game on current consoles,” Yasuda explained on Twitter. As such, we purchased the Lollipop Chainsaw intellectual property from Kadokawa Games, and decided to develop a remake. We have already contacted Warner Bros. about development, and are being supported by them in this endeavor.”
In addition to Yasuda, Suda51 was also involved in the game as its director, and the zombie apocalypse script was written by Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn. In our Lollipop Chainsaw review, we said, “Lollipop Chainsaw is cheery and obscene, but it doesn’t hit its marks consistently enough to be more than a passing amusement.”
