![]() ![]() Following Left 4 Dead, someone got zombies in our Call of Duty. Yes, The Walking Dead is its own phenomenon, enjoyed by both newcomers to the TV series and long-time fans of its source comic – but zombies have also become a sort of instant cash-in, especially for games publishers. Given the recent surge of zombie popularity in pop culture, Lollipop Chainsaw comes to us at a time when many people might be feeling a sort of zombie fatigue. You know, just in case this sort of shit happens. Conveniently, she also happens to be a zombie hunter and carries a full-size chainsaw in her gym bag. ![]() ![]() The premise of Lollipop Chainsaw is immediately absurd, nicely setting itself up for the reveal of more craziness as the adventure unfolds: Cheerleader Juliet Starling, excited about celebrating her 18th birthday, finds herself in the middle of a zombie outbreak at San Romero High. But appreciation of a game in a vacuum is one thing – appreciation of a game in context of existing pop culture is something completely different, and quite frankly, is where this game shines. Interactive Entertainment have pooled their creative efforts to bring the world one of the most thoroughly enjoyable pieces of entertainment I’ve experienced this year and, if talking exclusively about games, even this console generation. Grasshopper Manufacture, Kadokawa Games, and Warner Bros. When it comes to art that exists in part as a reflection of a variety of past works, enjoyment can come not only from the piece itself, but also from appreciating its references and inspirations. Some also compared her new look to having her model to being "facetuned", which is typically used for editing Instagram photos and can sometimes make facial features lose texture and look unnaturally smooth.I tend to love and gravitate toward games that are divisive amongst the gaming community rather than those that garner more universal critical acclaim, and the most recent example of this is Suda51’s latest masterpiece, Lollipop Chainsaw, earning plenty of my love while also cutting some sharply divided opinions from the community.īut any art that sparks such differing viewpoints will forever be more interesting than art that everyone can agree upon, and thus has the potential to live longer through discussion and debate. However, some users took issue with the new model, noting it looks a bit worse and she even looks paler in comparison, losing any bit of color that she originally had. The company released an image to celebrate the new year and it included a picture of Juliet's updated model. With the game set to release later this year, we got a small glimpse at what the remake will look like thanks to Dragami Games' Twitter page. Given we have had remakes for cult-classics, certified bangers, and everything in between, it seems only fair this would also get the remake treatment. Nevertheless, it was confirmed last year that Lollipop Chainsaw would receive a remake on modern platforms. It received pretty average reviews, but the tone and aesthetic of the game was heavily praised. It's a very, very silly game courtesy of Suda51 and Guardians of the Galaxy director/DC Studios head James Gunn, but it wasn't a huge hit. For those that aren't familiar, Lollipop Chainsaw is a 2012 hack-and-slash game that was released on Xbox 360 and PS3 and follows a high school cheerleader as she cuts down zombies with her boyfriend's severed (but living) head hanging from her waist. We've received the first, tiny glimpse at the upcoming remake of Lollipop Chainsaw. ![]()
