PlayStation Derailed - Podcast Episode 17 - PAX East, Silent Hill, Lollipop Chainsaw | PSU.com

See? Told you we’d be back more often. In this episode we dive into PAX East; we talk about almost every game there, which may explain the podcast’s three hour length. We really didn’t mean to run for so long, but if you stick around, you won’t regret it.

Join Don Oliveira, Mike Harradence, and first-timer Joseph Fait as we talk about, well, pretty much every game coming out this year. If you weren’t at PAX East (or even if you were) you might want to listen in. We go into so much detail that you can pretty much envision the whole show.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26186d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake186d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69185d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26185d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

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

FreeckyCake197d 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

LoveSpuds196d ago (Edited 196d 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
