The "Original mode" and "RePop mode" in Lollipop Chainsaw RePop offer different visual experiences for players. In "Original mode", the game maintains the gritty and violent visuals of the 2012 cult hit. On the other hand, "RePop mode" replaces some of the violent scenes with "pop-art damage effects", giving the game a unique and colorful visual style. This new mode is meant to provide a refreshing experience for players while they battle hordes of zombies.
Several concerns have been raised about the development of Lollipop Chainsaw RePop. Firstly, the original developers, Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture, are not involved in the project. Secondly, the original writer, James Gunn, is also not involved, as he is currently busy making superhero movies. Additionally, the game's original soundtrack, which included licensed songs from various artists, is not expected to be included in RePop, with only a few licensed tracks being mentioned. Lastly, the game has been delayed several times, with the release date being pushed back to 2024.
The original developers of Lollipop Chainsaw are Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture, while the original writer is James Gunn. However, they are not involved in the development of the RePop version.
