Lollipop Chainsaw Remake Will Be ‘As Close As Possible To A Remaster,’ According To Suda51

Suda51, along with his studio, Grasshopper Manufacture are behind cult hits such as The Silver Case and Killer 7. Lollipop Chainsaw’s hack-and slash zombie-game has been met with mixed reactions, however, there is still a possibility of remaking it. Suda51 reached out to his Twitter followers today to tell avid gamers that the remake will be “as close to a master as possible.” Below is his tweet.

Suda51 talked about both the original goal and the future changes during his statement.

“The primary goal of the Lollipop Chainsaw Remake project is to make it so that players who wish to play Lollipop Chainsaw can do so easily, not to make a new Lollipop Chainsaw game…we were unfortunately unable to include 16 of the licensed songs, which were a great part of the original game’s feel, and so we are instead aiming for a remake that is as close as possible to a remaster. The aesthetics of Lollipop Chainsaw are not being altered.

Lollipop Chainsaw’s original version was released in 2012. It was about Juliet, a high school cheerleader and her struggle to survive in a California zombie apocalypse. You can assume Juliet wore a flesh-shredding, chainsaw if you haven’t played the game. Suda51, James GunnSuicide SquadAnd Guardians of the GalaxyThe adventure was a bloody, gory and brutal collaboration between Joe Juba (and ). Joe Juba reviewed Lollipop Chainsaw, concluding his review with the following:

After finishing Lollipop Chainsaw I felt the same as I did after I played other Suda 51 titles. Although the concept is innovative and exciting, it has too many flaws in execution to be fully accepted, much like No More Heroes or Killer 7. Like those games, however, Lollipop Chainsaw was a great game.

Is it exciting to see the remake of The Hunger Games? How do you feel about Suda51’s statements? Please comment below.
