Lollipop Chainsaw's PS5 Revisit Now a Remaster Rather Than Remake | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

A confusing Twitter post by Dragami Games president Yoshimi Yasuda has revealed that Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, the PS5 re-release of the twee PS3 cult classic, will now be a remaster as opposed to a remake. “We have changed the game design based on your requests,” the executive bafflingly declared.

Exactly what this means for the project is honestly unclear, but we’re assuming the experience will be closer to the original than perhaps initially intended. Obviously, a remake implies a complete rebuild of an existing game – whereas remasters tend to use the existing code and overhaul the assets. Without additional context, though, it’s hard to understand what Yasuda means here.

Either way, the game’s due out in 2024 having been delayed a few months ago. Presumably the developer will reveal more about the project in the lead up to launch, and that should give us a better idea of what to expect here.

@Czar_Khastik I love a low effort release for a AAA price. We live in an age of mediocrity and I’m glad there’s devs who embrace it and lead by example.

I wonder how many people are really clamouring for the return of this franchise? In an era of great female characters like Ellie from TLOU, this sort of thing seems like a step backwards but thats just my opinion.

I reckon it was always closer to remaster than remake anyways especially by todays standards.
