DANGERMAN Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 fwiw, I'm more than fine with news being posted in a news thread instead of/alongside the game thread. The discussion has moved to the game thread so I think that's fine, but I'm not looking for news there, so that's fine too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Why would Lollipop Chainsaw and Shadows of the Damned be getting remasters at all?? Has this bandwagon hit the bottom of the barrel already?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Pretty certain you can't play either on this generation hardware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Remaster is a bit of a misnomer for some of these efforts, they are ports (which are fine, I like ports). If a game isn't easily available on any modern system then it makes perfect sense compared to what other stuff gets remasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which might mean something if they were great games to begin with? Surely that's what these ports and remasters should be focused on? Not a fresh coat of paint on mid to dross level games. Grasshopper alone has far better games that could benefit from this treatment IE Killer7 and the No More Heroes Trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Lollipop Chainsaw was excellent tbf...🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both games have a famous developer attached to them, so I suppose they'll generate enough headlines to get enough sales to at least not lose money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I don't reckon a gacha game is thread worthy, but it's weird seeing a young(-er) version of Sephiroth Shame about the monetisation mechanics cause it looks kind of cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't fully own the rights for killer7. I don't remember the specifics, but it was a big victory for them when they managed to get it at least on PC a few years ago. And personally I think both Lollipop Chainsaw and especially Shadows of the Damned are way better than NMH (though I have yet to play the third one).

I too, haven't played the third one (or Travis Strikes Back). But I remember the second game being very good. My experience with Lollipop Chainsaw was a repetitive slog with naff jokes. I think I watched half a Let's Play of Shadow of the Damned and wasn't impressed enough to continue nor buy it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Suda cares a lot about killer7 but I wouldn't bet on a remaster to be honest. It's a shame though, looking at the PC version all the game really needed was a higher resolution and a few updates to its UI, otherwise it still looks fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Oh, I never knew that game got a PC version I will buy this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I didn’t know Killer 7 was available on the PC either. Just bought it as it’s one of my all time favourites too. Hope it actually works. You guys should really try NMH 3. I liked the first 2 but didn’t think they were amazing. 3 though, it’s just fucking brilliant! Lollipop Chainsaw I remember being very repetitive like OCH. I’m still interested in trying it again though. Shadows of the Damned is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It was fairly repetitive... but it was also bloody funny.😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
