The producer of the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw remake, Yoshimi Yasuda, has tried to reassure fans that the game will deliver.
Some have raised an eyebrow over certain comments that Yasuda has made. He said that the game will feature “more realistic” graphics. And he also spoke about how it would feature a new soundtrack. Because many of the original licensed songs have expired.
Plus, earlier this month, both Goichi Suda and James Gunn announced that they aren’t involved with the project. Now, Yasuda has released a statement (via VGC):
“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. 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.”
Yasuda also spoke about the graphics:
“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.
“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.”
Lastly, Yasuda spoke on the idea of censoring the game:
“We have not yet discussed the issue with the platform holders yet, and thus cannot say anything about the topic. 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.”
