Dragami Games has been working on bringing back the likes of Juliet Starling in Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, which has since been dubbed a remaster rather than a remake. There is a huge difference between the two — a remaster is just touching up the graphics and making it run smoother. Meanwhile, a remake is a lot more time-intensive, requiring devs to rebuild the game from the ground up.
As stated by Dragami president, Yoshimi Yasuda, on Twitter (thanks PSX Extreme), the team’s taken into consideration “your requests,” and has changed the game design to a remaster rather than a remake. What that exactly means is unclear, but we can expect that the game will mostly just look and run better than its Xbox 360 OG.
Unfortunately, plans haven’t been fleshed out, so we don’t even know what platforms it’ll launch on, but we do know it’s going to be sometime in 2024.
私たちは皆さんの要望を踏まえRePOPのゲームデザインをRemakeからRemasterに変更しました…!!!
