Former Kadokawa Games CEO Yoshimi Yasuda left in May to form a new company called Dragami Games. Yasuda then announced earlier this month that one of the company’s first projects will be a remake of cult action game Lollipop Chainsaw. However, aspects of the announcement – including that it would have a new soundtrack, a “more realistic” art design and would have no involvement by creative director Suda51 nor co-writer James Gunn– left some fans worried. Yasuda has now attempted to address some of these issues, with the exception of Suda and Gunn’s absence. Lollipop Chainsaw - launch trailerSubscribe to VGC on YouTube “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,” Yasuda’s new statement says. “Of course, the ideal thing to do would be to make a remastered version of the original game, changing nothing. “However, 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.” Addressing concerns that the plot may be changed, he added: “We believe that Lollipop Chainsaw’s story is a huge part of what fans love about the original game, and we, the development staff feel the same. As such, the story will not be changed in the remake.” Yasuda also referred to fan concern that in his original announcement he said the remake would have “a more realistic approach to the graphics this time”. “The mention of how the game will have a more realistic look in the previous announcement was meant to refer to how we will make use of the advanced rendering technology available in current game consoles,” he explained. “We do not wish to change Juliet’s design, and the assumption that we want to is baseless. We were the ones who created Juliet’s model data after great trial and error ten years ago, and feel attached to her more than anyone else.” Notice: To display this embed please allow the use of Functional Cookies in Cookie Preferences. Finally, Yasuda addressed worries that the game’s sexualised content may be “censored” for today’s audiences, by suggesting that there are no intentions to censor the game. “We have not yet discussed the issue with the platform holders yet, and thus cannot say anything about the topic,” he said, “but what we can say is that we intend to negotiate with the platform holders to make it so that the game can be as close to the original version as possible.” Last week the original game’s creative director Suda51 and co-writer James Gunn both stated that they have zero involvement in the new project. “Neither I nor Suda51 are currently involved in this,” Gunn tweeted. “I heard about it for the first time from Suda a couple [of] weeks ago.” Suda then followed up: “To add my two cents, like James Gunn says, neither he nor I am involved in this project at all, and Grasshopper Manufacture has nothing to do with development or anything.” Further reading 3 A Lollipop Chainsaw remake has been announced for 2023The game will have "a more realistic approach to the graphics", it producer claimsIn his statement announcing the remake on Tuesday, Yasuda appeared to downplay Suda’s role in the original game, suggesting he had a more advisory role. “As Suda-san was very busy handling development on other projects at the time, I served as director and producer, creating a joint development team consisting of staff from Grasshopper Manufacture and Kadokawa Games, overseeing development directly,” Yasuda claimed. “Suda-san looked over the game design and supervised the project as an executive producer.” Yasuda’s claims appear to be at odds with the game’s actual closing credits, which list Yasuda (not Suda) as the executive producer, and Suda as the creative director. Furthermore, despite Yasuda’s claims that he “served as director and producer”, the game’s credits list Grasshopper’s Tomo Ikeda and Masa Shidara as director and producer respectively. 2 Comments Related VGC Content The chairman of FromSoftware’ s parent company has been charged with bribery1 week ago No More Heroes 4 could happen with ‘ big fan outcry’ says Suda 511 week ago No More Heroes 3 has been dated for PlayStation Xbox and PC with a new trailer2 months ago Suda51 and James Gunn say they have nothing to do with the Lollipop Chainsaw remake3 months ago Popular Now on VGC1 Harley Quinn voice actor criticises Chris Pratt Mario casting ‘ It should be Charles’ 2 Phil Spencer could be teasing Xbox s game streaming device in a new office photo3 Interview How PlatinumGames is betting on Nintendo expertise to shape its future4 Modern Warfare 2 will seemingly require a phone number like Overwatch 25 Platinum thinks hiring of Nintendo veteran can take the companies relationship to the next level More Video Game News7 On Metal Gear’ s 35th anniversary Konami says it s ‘ preparing’ to bring back delisted gamesLicence expiration forced Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 to be pulled2 months ago7 Comments1 US PlayStation shipments were reportedly up 400% last monthPS5 supply appears to be increasing as Christmas approaches1 hour ago1 Comment Overwatch 2 servers down for some as Blizzard removes two heroes temporarilyThe game's rocky launch has caused much fan frustration2 hours ago1 Bayonetta 3 has been rated suggesting a release date could be on the horizonUPDATE: Nintendo has announced an October release date2 months ago1 CommentBy commenting on this article you agree to adhere to VGC’s community guidelines.
