Lollipop Chainsaw - Suda 51 and James Gunn

johnny_ultimate

Suda 51 is great.

James Gunn is great: everyone should watch Super and Slither - two genuinely funny and pitch-black comedies in these profoundly unfunny times.

And the title, I think we can all agree, is great.

All these things are great. Together they should be really great. But the first trailer does much to quell my good-natured optimism. Perhaps this will embrace its sleazy exploitation inspirations with a sense of humour and parody, but this brief video doesn't fill me with confidence. Awful (as in not funny) one-liners and hyper-sexualisation that makes Bayonetta seem positively progressive in comparison. Plus, zombies. Why the **** are there so many games about zombies?

Anyway, given the talent involved, I remain cautiously optimistic, but they better have some kickass gameplay to make up for this.

Oh, the trailer? Here!

That makes me... Not interested... I really hope that they're saving the good clips for nearer the release, because if that is anything to go by, i'll pick it up mid next year when there's nothing else to get and it's €5.

Everyone seems to be fawning over this but i dont really see any appeal in it. Looks like a trailer for a mediocre game to me.

Only heard about this one last night, and I think it looks fantastic. I like a little off-the-wall in my games, so this will suit me down to the ground. Looking forward to seeing some gameplay for this.

As long as the gameplay's fantastic then I don't really have a problem with a one-dimentional main character whose only appeal is sex appeal. It worked for Bayonetta!

Bayonetta was actually the first thing that I thought of when I saw this trailer. Yeah, plots, storylines, and amazingly deep and well-written characters are not really needed if the action is good enough. I love a good braindead action game.

A little gameplay here. One of the boys talks us through the demo of the game.

It actually looks pretty good, not disappointed with that gameplay at all. Seems like there's lots of different combos to pull off.

It doesn't look as gorey as I first expected, but it certainly looks like a whole lot of fun! Not enough games these days are aimed towards simply being great craic.
