Only in Japan.....

Normally I would be completely bemused but then again, this is probably the most normal thing in Japan considering other 'oddities' such as an anime series called Cat Shit One that revolved around rabbits, cats and camels doing battle in the Middle East.

Solid_Snake-4655d ago

the title is so annoying. but it will sell to those people who curse the roundness of there eyes every day.

TheBossMan4654d ago

Why are these chicks always white girls with blonde/brown/red hair and blue/green/grey eyes? Seriously, 9.9 times out of 10 the leading chicks in Japanese games are light hair, light eyed, hugely endowed white girls. What gives? Do Japanese girls take offense?

n to the b4654d ago

maybe they feel similar to normal (ie, not a supermodel) women in the US who are bombarded daily with a disproportionate amount of claudia schiffer-esque imagery?

MaxXAttaxX4654d ago

Generally in anime, hair color is more of a personality element and not about race/nationality.

Bay4655d ago

I admit...piqued my interest when I heard that Suda 51 is designing this game.

Then I saw the screenshots.

Still want.

maddfoxx4655d ago

I'll play the demo and decide if its worth a play through based on gameplay. And whats the deal with the guys head?

The Great Melon4655d ago (Edited 4655d ago )

I'm intrigued. Only in Japan do you get rainbows, cheerleaders, and zombies together.

Convas4655d ago

I'm not going to lie, the art style of this game is quite appealing. Looking out for it now.

Lollipop chainsaw now a remaster not a remake

At fans request apparently.

gold_drake198d ago

i wonder if they looked into what a remake would cost and went "NOPE Remaster it is" haha

FreeckyCake198d ago

It probably has to do with what the producer had mentioned recently. The thing about not wanting to change the essence of the original (e.g censorship). So maybe remastering the game was the best choice.

CrimsonWing69197d ago

The link to the story didn’t really answer the question. It makes no sense that you have to censor a remake and not a remaster.

What I got from that article is licensed music forced them to change to a Remake(?) and that they’re working hard with the platform holders to negotiate not censoring, which Sony is stupid about.

My question is, how would a Remaster not have to go through censorship?

I’ve seen dialogue changed in FF7 and Baten Kaitos. Then you have actual cutscenes being removed like in the dmc remaster.

I assume the same could be done to this game.

FreeckyCake197d ago

No idea. That's why I said " maybe ".

CrimsonWing69197d ago

Bull sh*t, you show me where fans wanted a Remaster instead of a Remake. I was more onboard with a Remake, I’m less excited just playing the same game I did before but now with sharper textures and better framerate.

ModsDoBetter197d ago

Probably realised this won't do the numbers so didn't want to invest.

No harm, I love Lollipop Chainsaw but it's a bit of a niche title.

gold_drake197d ago

yeh it was super niche even bk then

LoveSpuds197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

Loved it back in the day and have my copy sat on the shelf and ypu are right, it was super niche, which is why my copy is increasing in value slowly but surely. Hoping a remaster doesn't tank the value of my PS3 copy

....and that's a bad thing how?

343_Guilty_Spark272d ago

If it ain’t on Sony box it’s bad

autobotdan272d ago (Edited 272d ago )

Ninja Gaiden 2 was never multiplat. NG Sigma 2 is a remixed game not the same game at all

darthv72272d ago

Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.

Vits272d ago

Yeap, classic GoW is still better mechanically. But the aesthetics and atmosphere of Dante's Inferno were just top-notch. Shame it never got a PC port, but at the very least is available on modern Xbox.

Juiceid272d ago

This list is ok, but Ninja Gaiden reigns supreme!

GhostScholar272d ago

I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.

Top 10 Rarest PS3 Games That Are Worth a Fortune

Twinfinite: "During the PS3’s tenure, plenty of huge games launched, but the interesting thing is, many of the system’s rarer titles are largely not amazing games. Sure, there are one or two exceptions to that rule (I’m looking at you Ni No Kuni!), but many of the more desirable and valuable games in the PS3’s library are usually rare for a reason."

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Sold my Painkiller for around £3 years ago and my Asuras Wrath for even less. Managed to pick up Lollipop Chainsaw and Splatterhouse again but they cost me a fair bit more than I initially paid on release when I first bought them.

Wish I bought Godzilla, the number of times I saw it in the game store for the price of a coffee and didn't bother.

Knushwood Butt289d ago

Never knew Last Guy had a physical release.

gold_drake288d ago (Edited 288d ago )

i own nba, lolipop and nino kuni. never heard of the rest tbf xD surprised they are worth that much, for what they actually are.

roadkillers288d ago

Getting a valuable game is all luck.. I had three of these. Africa is one that people might have seen coming, but otherslike Ni No Kuni wouldn't have been.

My most valuable game I remember owning was Conkers Bad Fur Day. When the game was being re-released on Xbox (remake/ upgrade if you will), the price dropped dramatically. Once the game released and the changes were seen, the value went back up. Then it was released on Rare Replay and value dropped again. 2020 hit and all collectables shot up along with Conker. Before stopping around $110 which it currently is.

Games change all the time because their digital media that can be reproduced even in weird contract bindings (GoldenEye as an example). One day it can be worth $300 and the next $150. The shrink wrapped items in mint condition cannot be reproduced.. but that takes strength to spend, not open, and hope its worth something.
