Lollipop Chainsaw RePop comes with the best possible news—no censorship

September is a month full of video games. Surprisingly, among these, two are remasters of Suda51 video games: Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered and Lollipop Chainsaw RePop. Although the former has taken most of the spotlight, being made by its original developers, Lollipop Chainsaw RePop has finally given us reasons to be interested in it. Because less than ten days before its release, they have confirmed something important: it will be extremely faithful to the original experience.

According to Yoshimi Yasuda, the game’s producer, the Original Mode of Lollipop Chainsaw Remaster will allow players to experience the game as it was initially conceived in 2012. This means that the gore, the direction of the scenes, the character design, the comic book-style introductions, the achievements, and everything we remember from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions will be preserved. The changes will only be made in the RePop mode, which will turn the game into a less violent and more pop version, with which they seek to create their own vision of the original game.

At the same time, they also want to clarify that this does not mean that there are no changes compared to the original versions. The image quality, FPS, and resolution have also been added, as well as adjustments to the combo systems, the store, the items, and the possibility of automating QTEs. This is considered important, given that it is a remaster and that it is considered not to change the original spirit of the work.

In addition, several bugs present in the original game have also been polished. Therefore, when talking about the game not being censored, they refer to two possible senses: that it is not a cut version of the original in terms of content and that there is no institutional censorship on the content they can show. This second one is somewhat surprising, especially regarding Japan and Germany, since the levels of gore in the original game can be, even if comical, quite scandalous.

Lollipop Chainsaw RePop will be released on September 12th for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. So, if you are curious about this work, born from the minds of James Gunn and Suda51, it seems that now is the perfect opportunity to fully immerse yourself in it.
