Hopefully it won’t be RePoop
As the video says at the start, RePop lets players choose between “Original mode”, which maintains the grindhouse violence of the cult hit original, or the RePop mode which replaces some of that violence with “pop-art damage effects.”
It’s one of several changes designed to make RePop the “definitive version of the game”, according to producer Yoshimi Yasuda. RePop will also have faster load times, support for 4K resolutions and 60 frames per second.
Perhaps most worringly of all, RePop isn’t expected to include the original soundtrack, which included licensed songs from Skrillex, The Human League and MSTRKRFT, among many others. Yasuda has said that the original soundtrack will be replaced, and will only include “a few licensed tracks”.
I never played Lollipop Chainsaw at the time, because it seemed the wrong kind of dumb. (For the record, Revengeance andBayonettawere the right kind of dumb.) It also only got middling reviews, although its style and bombast seem to have earned it a cult following in the years since, like many Grasshopper games. Maybe this September is when I finally give it a go.
