Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Will Have Revamped Combat for Modern Players
Developer Dragami Games has revealed that the upcoming remake of Lollipop Chainsaw will be more than just a visual uplift. Game designer Yoshimi Yasuda revealed on social media platform X that the studio will be revamping the combat system for Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP.
The decision seems to have been made to bring the gameplay of Lollipop Chainsaw up to modern standards. Game design principles have certainly moved on since the title was originally released back in 2012 on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and more modern games are typically expected to feel snappier to play.
“We would like to revamp the battles into something that the console action game players of today will enjoy, such as doing away with any sluggishness in chainsaw battles with speed adjustment, improving the input timing for cheerleading and chainsaw combo attacks, as well as improving camera movement,” said Yasuda in a statement.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP was originally announced back in June 2022. Since then, the studio has spoken about some of its plans for the upcoming remake. A recent interview also indicated that the studio is hoping to keep changes to the game at a minimum.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP doesn’t yet have a release date aside from a Summer 2024 release window.
RePOPのバトルは、チェーンソーバトルのもっさり感を解消するスピードの変化やチアアタックとチェーンソーアタックの組み合わせコンボの入力受付タイミングの改善など、現行機のアクションゲームユーザーが楽しんでいただけるものに改修します。
