I dont even care. Why cant he make the game we all want him to make? Super ultra violent ninja character action game starring Shinobu from NMH

 

[Niks]

Rumor: Lily Bergamo cancelled

 

[Akainu]

Aw, that's to bad I bet it would have been really good. The world would become a bit darker place if this never comes out.

 

[Pennywise]

We've seen 15 seconds of Lily Bergamo, but those 15 seconds looked more marketable than Let It Die.

That still doesn't answer the question, why we should blame Sony ?

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

blegh

let it die just looked uninteresting to me

I wanted me some lily bergamo in my earl grey

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Oh, come on!!! Pleasone no! This here:

... looks A LOT better then that concept of Let it Die!

 

[nded]

That would be an even bigger change in direction than Dark Sector. At least with Dark Sector you can sort of see how they went from initial concept to final product.

I hope the trailer for LET IT DIE was not reminiscent of the actual game.

By that, I mean I hope it keeps the same art style from Lily Bergamo.

There was some gameplay footage in the trailer. Doesn't look anything like Lily Bergamo.

[HassanJamal]

What. Please be fake, I liked the character design and whatever they were trying to show off in that teaser.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

A real fucking shame. It looked different from anything else we've seen on next-gen systems so far.

Which of course means it had to die.

 

[kurahador]

That still doesn't answer the question, why we should blame Sony ?

Because it's a PS4 exclusive. It's easy to see that Sony might have a hand in the funding.

 

[Mandoric]

It's true, my translation of the comment is that Lily Bergamo sublimated into Let it Die during development. It keeps the hyper-action asynchronous MP elements but adds strong survival elements.

 

[fedexpeon]

We went from awesome artstyle to garbage gray/brown TPS?

 

[Adaren]

I'd almost certainly have been disappointed with the final product, so maybe it's for the better...

If that teaser was put out by Platinum, however...

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

man why

 

[Schadenfreude]

Goddammit, Suda. I'm going to get your life.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

Suda 51 is ..we need to face the facts about his track record.

 

[kuroshiki]

Because it's a PS4 exclusive. It's easy to see that Sony might have a hand in the funding.

Gungho has shit ton of money though. They don't need sony fund. at all.

I think it is more like thy decided to appeal to more western audiences.


Which is BS.

Suda 51 is ..we need to face the facts about his track record.

but also this. Suda is not a great developer AT ALL. He has some wacky taste that appeals to some small segment of gamers, but that's about it.

 

[-Horizon-]

If true, I'm hugely disappointed. One of the few games on PS4 that I liked from the looks of it.

who's with me?

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

We went from awesome artstyle to garbage gray/brown TPS?

Pretty much.

 

[Sylverstone14]

I really hope this isn't true.

 

[jmizzal]

We've seen 15 seconds of Lily Bergamo, but those 15 seconds looked more marketable than Let It Die. Sony needs every marketable Japanese game they can get.

Good point, PS4 in Japan is tracking way behind WiiU

 

[george_us]

Suda 51 is ..we need to face the facts about his track record.

Suda's games are fun in a janky sort of way. Lollipop Chainsaw was one of my favorite games last generation.

 

[vareon]

Nintendo: "Ah, more stuff for us to grab!"

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Suda 51 is ..we need to face the facts about his track record.

I think the problem is he ultimately doesn't have much of a track record.

He hasn't been hands-on with a game in ages. If you told me he was dead and Grasshopper just hasn't told anyone and they've been Weekend at Bernies-ing him, I'd believe you.

 

[Koppai]

I wish Japanese companies would stop trying to appeal to western gamers...apparently they think brown/gray/tan ugly artstyle games are our preference.

 

[cafemomo]

I hope Nintendo picks this up then.

Shame it was canceled.

 

[Galang]

Nooo!

 

[ILoveBish]

yep, just what next gen needs, more canceled japanese new ips.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Hopefully it's just a case of name changing, title is probably the superior Lily Brescia now.


But seriously, that'd be pretty strange since Suda had done a pretty hardcore round of interviews lately at Grasshopper's offices and he stated a bunch of times something along the lines of "can't talk about Lily Bergamo at the moment but stay tuned, can't wait to show it as soon as possible"

 

[zenosparadox]

VERY disappointing.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

#bringbackLilyBergamo

who's with me?

;_;

Does he have a twitter account?

 

[mao2]

Whoops, didn't see this topic. I guess they figured that Lily Bergamo was too Japanese and couldn't cater to Western tastes, hence the total change. Oh well.

 

[popyea]

I don't really believe this. So many things don't add up. Firstly, I don't see how Lily Bergamo could morph into something that appears so completely different. Also, Suda's involvement with Let it Die is as executive director, with the implication being that it's not his main focus. Why would the existence of Let it Die rule out Lily Bergamo?

 

[Pennywise]

Because it's a PS4 exclusive. It's easy to see that Sony might have a hand in the funding.

Someone else already pointed out that Lily Bergamo was also planned as f2p game.
Considering Suda51 wasn't being director once again, and the game wasn't working as it should have, why should Sony even care ?
Besides, GungHo has more than enough money...

GungHo is the publisher, and they decided that it wasn't worth it and decided on another type of game.
Even though I love the initial impression of Lily Bergamo, blaming Sony here is a joke...

 

[RyudBoy]

Oh wow, Lily Bergamo...

just...

Let It Die.

of course

[CosmicGroinPull]

Fuck. Fuck the dudebro murder simulator.

 

[Syphon Filter]

good.LID looks way better than that corny lily game.

 

[Busaiku]

Figured as much.

 

[tensuke]

I was wondering about that since Suda was supposed to be working on LB too. It's a shame. But LID could be good all the same.

edit: oh man I forgot all about the TGS translators. Good stuff.

 

[Takao]

I hope Nintendo picks this up then.

Shame it was canceled.

It doesn't sound like it was actually cancelled, but during the development process it morphed into Let It Die. If the creators felt this was the way to go, I'm not sure what Nintendo could pick up.

 

[sphagnum]

Man that's disappointing.

The last time he directed a game was No More Heroes.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Let it Die didn't look bad, but it certainly didn't look inspired, either. Disappointing to see Lily Bergamo transformed into that.

 

[raven777]

Fuck

Good bye beautiful art from Kozaki Yuusuke....

 

[Apathy]

Wow if this is true, Suda is dead to me forever. How could you go from Lily Bergamo to Let it Die. LiD does not look like anything special, the whole time I was watching the trailer it looked boring, confusing and just some throwaway game, but LB actually looked unique.

 

[perorist]

I am dying, I am dead.

Lily Bergamo was one of my most anticipated next gen titles
