Let It Die has been great, but it was once upon a time called Lily Bergamo, a game with a completely different artstyle, character(s), environments, and ideas. Now we never got more than that one reveal video, but many people were eager for more based solely on the art and vibrant design.

Now that Let It Die has released, and people are still interested in more Suda, and Lily Bergamo trailer was a crowd pleaser...is there a chance it comes back?

 

[cj_iwakura]

Nope.

 

[Crayolan]

Obviously not.

 

[Anung]

Nope.

 

[Lemondish]

Nope.

[RecRoulette]

Nope.

 

[Celine]

We will get No More Heroes 3.

 

[Servbot24]

Of course not.

 

[Strangelove77]

Nope.

 

[HStallion]

Shit's dead. Move on.

 

[Mature]

Do we even know if Lily Bergamo existed beyond that one video?

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

lily bergamo lol

they wont bother with that trash

 

[Mechanized]

I think people only care about Lily Bergamo because it was called Lily Bergamo. A coincidentally completely unmarketable name.

 

[TheSpoiler]

It's the same game.

 

[TheDinoman]

That's kinda like saying "Will we get Dream: Land of Giants now that Banjo-Kazooie is out?" or "Will we get Twelve Tales: Conker 64 now that Conker's Bad Fur Day is out?".

 

[XANDER CAGE]

The entire concept was reworked, so probably not. The amount of production work that went into Let it Die in the years since they changed the aesthetic is likely way, way more than ever existed for Lily Bergamo. I doubt they have all that much lying around besides the assets created for the trailer and some concept/prepro stuff.

At this point I think we're way more likely to see a brand new game that uses some of the ideas they were originally interested in trying out with Lily Bergamo than an actual return of the character/brand.

 

[Kayant]

Let It Die.

 

[Drain You]

I'd rather see a sequel to Killer is Dead.

[luulubuu]

I do think we will see it eventually in some format, Grasshopper is looking back at their franchises now; No More Heroes Switch, The Silver Case


Maybe the TGS has some surprises

 

[bigjig]

Some of the ideas intended for the game may be reworked into something else, but no it's probably not going to happen

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

holy shit let it go already

 

[Mandoric]

Now that Final Fantasy IV is out, will we get that NES version with airship shops?

 

[JayEH]

Let it die.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Let It Die.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Grasshopper's making a No More Heroes sequel, so maybe they can use some visual inspiration for that.

 

[Alucrid]

isn't it more like "Lily Bergamo, a game?"

 

[TheSpoiler]

Funny thing is, there aren't even ideas. Lily and LiD are the same game, just with some altered aesthetics (but the concept remains very similar).

People begging for Lily don't know they already got it in LiD.

[SatoAilDarko]

The artist for her and the original concept of LET IT DIE is the same for the No More Heroes series (as well as the recent Fire Emblems).

She would totally fit unchanged as a boss in the new No More Heroes.

It would be something for us to kill her ourselves in game.

 

[Nachos]

The biggest loss from LB's cancellation was the logo.

 

[Hero of Legend]

We will get No More Heroes 3.

I wouldn't be surprised if they legit salvage what existed of Lily and use it for NMH3 on Switch. Lily and its final Let it Die form ran on UE4, so I can see them using that for NMH3 instead of going 100% ground-up for no real reason when they have stuff they can use. Grasshopper is owned by GungHo anyway and the fact that Suda even can make NMH3 should mean he can use Lily/LiD's assets if needed.

I'm honestly legit shocked and thrilled we're even seeing NMH3 by Suda himself. I always thought Suda (or someone at Grasshopper) said they could not take on external projects after being bought by GungHo, unless NMH3 was allowed because Suda did promise it WAY back for the "Wii's successor" so it might've been initially greenlit for Wii U and that managed to survive the buyout, but just took a whole gen? Who knows, maybe Suda will clarify.

I can see that happening.

My exact thoughts as I read the thread title

 

[Marcel]

Was the title of a certain F2P game starring Uncle Death not hint enough for you, OP?

 

[sixteen-bit]

lol, good one OP

 

[Fat4all]

let

it

die

 

[Ritzboof]

i thought let it die was lily bergamo? i was under the impression that things just changed immensely and became let it die, like how the first run of RE4 actually became the first DMC

edit: nvm i cant read. really, though, probably not. nothing i read really gave me the impression grasshopper still had any interest in the idea of lily bergamo

 

[Clov]

You'll get The Silver Case: Ward 25 and you'll like it!

 

[Pinko Marx]

Why are people so caught up with Lily Bergamo?
We had one video. One. I can understand that it had an interesting look but that video was YEARS ago.
This isn't even like a Half Life 3 situation where it's a franchise that people have a connection to. We know nothing of this game besides that one video.

Let It Die.

 

[Dragoon Roll]

No.

 

[Prince of Space]

🤔Now that FFXV is out, will we get Versus?🤔

Who knows, maybe Suda will clarify.

It was said that Nintendo played a huge hand in getting the project off the ground, which makes sense since they have history with both Marvelous and GungHo, and Suda in general is a big Nintendo fan.

I wouldn't be too surprised if some of the Lily Bergamo concept art got worked into NMH3, though I don't know how far they would take it that they would straight up put that character in there. Shinobu was in the original artwork for the game, so I imagine she'll be back at the very least.

 

[Ray Down]

Of course not, some people can't just let shit die.

 

[djplaeskool]

Hahaha Jesus Christ just stop OP
Give it up
Let It Die

 

[Apathy]

Why must you keep opening the wound?

The whole 2 assets actually created for Lily were used in Let It Die. It was a trash can and a bulldozer model. There's absolutely nothing left of that game except a short video that people are still hung up on.

There's literally 1000 other 'waifu' games people can play.

As likely as the next episode of D4. ;/
