1. Zombies first appear in Juliet's school on her 18th birthday. Don't worry -- it's totally okay to take a peek!

2. Juliet is a cheerleader at her school.

3. Juliet's school, San Romero Highschool, is located on the West Coast (that would be of America, I believe) and is the largest school in the region.

4. Juliet's chainsaw is full of pink because pink is her favorite color.

5. By reaching certain conditions you can make Juliet's chainsaw power up, gaining new skills.)

Like with the rest of Grasshopper's titles, famed game musician Akira Yamaoka is heading up the sound staff. "We're putting a lot of effort into the soundtrack, definitely," commented Suda. "Part of the reason we established Grasshopper in the first place was so we could work on every part of a game in-house, and we treat sound especially importantly in this outfit. The sound team for Lollipop is led by Yamaoka and they're working on a whole array of pop tunes right now. Part of the gameplay might involve sound as well, although exactly how we're still keeping a secret."

No release date was given for Lollipop Chainsaw, which (according to Yasuda) already has an overseas publisher committed to releasing the game in English, although he didn't reveal who. "The game's framework is complete, and now we're deep into the fine-tuning process," Suda said. "I'd place it at around 70 percent complete. It's really a new era for zombie games -- a piece of 'pop' zombie entertainment."

 

[TheOddOne]

Its gonna be awkward when I buy this.

 

[LiK]

Fap fap...um, i mean, looks great.

 

[MechDX]

WTF is this?

I mean I would still buy it. I bought Rumble Roses XX 3 separate times.

 

[nutveit]

Not sure I like the graphics style, but looks promising.

 

[demosthenes]

I doubt it will come to America so you'll be importing it online

 

[AppleMIX]

Eh... that's it i'm done with grasshopper.

 

[JWong]

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh....

I am at lost for words.

 

[TheOddOne]

I doubt it will come to America so you'll be importing it online

Europe still has a chance

 

[Lostconfused]

Well at least they did some clever posing in the first screenshot.

 

[Gravijah]

Looks uhm... Hmmm.

 

[xXJonoXx]

From screen shots alone, I want it.

 

[Dizzle24]

Shadows of the Damned...FOR FEMALES!

Will probably import.

 

[Wanda/Wander]

Well, fuck.

Despite the premise, Lollipop isn't a particularly gory game -- instead, the visual design is meant to play up the cute 'pop' aspect of the title. "Instead of sprays of blood, we have the zombies emitting bursts of pink light," Suda said. "When it comes to gore, we can certainly go that way if we want, but we wanted to give the game more of a 'pop' feel."

Maybe NSFW...

 

[PerZona]

Looks reallyyyyy weird but interesting at the same time lol. Need to see some gameplay footage.

Catherine came and its 1000x more fucked up than this.

 

[Turners]

So No More Heroes but with a Lolita wielding a Chainsaw and a mans head for sexual pleasure on the Go. Nice

 

[drunkendonuts]

well hello there...

i'll buy it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice censorship

 

[kylej]

Sounds good to me.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Just put it in my veinssss

 

[froliq]

panty shots everywhere

 

[PixyJunket]

Oh my God, my hype for this game is insane.

And I just heard of its existence a few hours ago.

 

[PdotMichael]

Okay, now i am in love

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Pretty much what I expected.

 

[madmaxx350]

what's with the hanging head...

 

[Stumpokapow]

The thick, chunky, almost inky lines of the art style are a little unusual.

But yeah I kinda feel like this is a spiritual second No More Heroes franchise

 

[demosthenes]

http://www.1up.com/news/suda51-talks-lollipop-chainsaw

Oh wow, thanks for the info.

How is Catherine 1000x more fucked than this?

 

[Lostconfused]

Nice censorship

Kind of pointless when its only done for one or two shots. More of a kind of a funy joke really.

 

[Averon]

It looks creepy and weird. Very Japanese. I expect another SotD level bomb if they bring it to NA.

 

[Typographenia]

Love Grasshopper!

This looks like so much fun, I can't wait to find out more!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

It looks creepy and weird. Very Japanese. I expect another SotD level bomb if they bring it to NA.

Well it's already got a publisher for the west, so it's definitely releasing outside of Japan.

 

[Pie and Beans]

I expect a game with an OTT premise, great initial promise hyped in previews and ultimately a slightly disappointing seemingly rushed and content light game upon release. Also at least one broken seeming mini-game section where I question "why did they ship with this in it?" aloud.

 

[Kagari]

Oh Suda,,,

 

[radios shipping overview]

Grasshopper = best JP dev, bitches

 

[GABDEG]

No thanks.

 

[electroplankton]

I'd prefer less fanservice (we know that naked females attract videogamers) and more videogames nostalgia as in Contact.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What will be higher? The amount of copies sold or amount of posts in this thread?

 

[Brazil]

Awesome. Love the head, too.

 

[badgenome]

LOL @ that dude's head. He could be the new Johnson. Although he looks kind of like a "Biff" to me.

 

[MikeE21286]

and we thought Shadows bombed sales-wise...

not to say it will be bad, but will probably sell about 5,000 copies in America (if it comes here)

 

[gembel]

it looks like dead rising

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Looks fantastic, sounds even better. Grasshopper = day one for me.

Spoiler

I can already hear the Bomba thread being typed up in anticipation though ((

 

[Dascu]

Graphic style reminds me of Street Fighter IV's ink shader.

Also, I'm guessing that's her boyfriend's severed head dangling behind her?

 

[Urban Scholar]

Yep Suda is still whacky.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I'd prefer less fanservice (we know that naked females attract videogamers) and more videogames nostalgia as in Contact.

Well she's a cheerleader, what else is she going to wear?

 

[rikichi]

HOLY MOLY!!!

FUKINNN SMOKKIN

 

[Takao]

Well hey, at least it's not Lolipop Chainsaw.
