Meh the trailer from last year actually had me so intrigued, and the cell shaded graphics were top notch. But Suda is a visionary guy, whatever this game is, I bet is going to be as wacky as ever. The trailer certainly made it look like so.
Killer Is Dead bombed terribly, and albeit being by another publisher (Kadokawa), I can see how GungHo decided they didn't want to gamble the same way, cancelled Lily Bergamo, telling Suda he should do some cheap F2P thing instead if he wants to keep his job because that's how GungHo makes money these days -- with F2P.
I don't really see how anything of Lilly Bergamo can even be used on Let It Die. Maybe she'll be a costume/character you can buy.

Way to go, dissing an entire gaming genre just because you dont like it. *look up*... Junior...
There are many great JRPGs out there you know?
Outside of a brief trailer, we knew nothing about how that game would have played.

Guys! Maybe we can kickstart it!
guys?

Other than that it would be an online action game with RPG elements and mobile integration. Published by the biggest (?) Asian F2P company.

people have a lot of strong opinions on two games they know next to nothing about...
That's really terrible news. Worst of E3 so far, in fact.
I would be more than okay with this. But then I think about Devil's Third and how it looks twenty times worse than it did before (and it never looked good to begin with honestly), so uh...
Maybe it's best to just...let it die.

my posts are "MEH"
My first time hearing about Lily Bergamo. After viewing the trailer I can't muster up the same disappointment everyone else is displaying. I thought Let it die looked interesting.

This one thing we knew nothing about is now this other thing we know nothing about and it's literally the worst tragedy ever!
What I wrote:
"I don't really see how anything of Lilly Bergamo can even be used on Let It Die. Maybe she'll be a costume/character you can buy."
means: "Nothing from Let It Die not even remotely resembles anything from the Lilly Bergamo brief trailer".
Saying it's the same game because they're both gonna have extreme action is like Kamiya saying Scalebound was Bayonetta 2 because both are gonna have extreme action.

I don't think I've seen such an inspired art direction turn into such generic shlock. The game looked like some weird Japanese Manhunt wannabe.

But you don't know anything about the gameplay of either game, so you don't have any idea why they are being called the same game. All you are talking about is art direction...

Sony is broke. When are people gonna realize this?
It's not very hard to understand, they look like they belong to whole different worlds entirely. How that game turned into this isn't just the matter of art direction, the concept obviously looks entirely different. You don't simply go from that to this, but 'we didn't see gameplay' doesn't have anything to do with it. It's like I'm showing you a CG teaser for a Halo game but the end results is Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Yeah it's still a shooter like was claimed originally but to claim it's the same project that turned into this is hard to believe...
Lily Bergamo was supposed to have a world based on Kozaki's unique art direction, not just characters too. Now he's not even involved.

Stylish cel shaded action game turned into a military battle arena...?
What trailer for Let It Die did you see?

Other issues aside, what was so inspired? Both seem generic to me. One was generic anime style, and the other is generic grittydark style.

Very disappointing news.
I loved Killer is Dead (and most of Grasshopper/Suda's other games) and was really looking forward to Lily Bergamo.

This makes sense. The second I saw Lily Bergamo wasn't what we were being shown after Suda was mentioned at E3 I instantly questioned how Grasshopper would be working on 2 exclusive titles for Sony at once and thought something odd was up. It's a shame although we didn't see much of Lily, but the new title isn't up to my liking personally.

Very strange. I mean, we knew basically nothing about Lily and we know basically nothing about this, but from what we have seen/heard they seem miles apart conceptually and tonally. The worst part about it is that Lily was supposed to come out this year .

The titles looked completely different from what little we've seen of each. How the fuck does that happen?
I can believe a scenario where they were two separate game pitches and LiD won, but I just don't see Lily being retooled to be LiD.
Suda, I am disappoint. Get this F2P bs outta here and give me another Lollipop Chainsaw at least.

this another one of those "we in Japan clearly know what people in the west like" decisions?

Yes. Let if Die, whatever it is, has flop written all over it.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
So outside of a game title, a vague description of the game and concept art did Suda51 ever reveal anything else about Lily Bergano?
Because if that's the case than I don't see what everyone is so upset about outside not liking Let it Die since at that point Lily Bergano might as well not have existed.

I like a lot of Suda's female characters, particularly those in No More Heroes, such as Alice Twilight and Holly Summers.
The promise of playing a highly stylized game with a female lead similar to those that has an interesting ability is infinitely more interesting to me than Suda doing what looks like his own spin of Manhunt. Doesn't matter if she's an anime girl or not.
To be fair I don't think Devil's Third went the way it did on account of Wii U exclusivity. The original game under THQ used the engine that Darksiders 2 did and since the publisher is now different they probably had to rework it entirely. If anything Itagaki's team probably isn't that good.
Crazy talk:
- The online RPG aspect of Lily Bergamo is being turned into Let It Die.
- The character design and whatever assets they have (and that goddamn Shinobu concept art) is being turned into No More Heroes 3.
Either way, it's a bit unlikely the hundred-man studio GHM is only working on Let It Die and that they wouldn't do anything with the original story/art designs for Lily Bergamo.

well, she was waifu material, I can understand that
well, it's a shame, I was really looking forward to see more Yusuke Kozaki's designs, hopefully the'll pick it up sometime later
More than enough to me.
C'mon Nintendo, you've already done the same for two other games.
Save it!
Can't save the dead.

What's there to save? The game still exists, just as Let it Die.
Now if Nintendo should be saving anything it should be a Vanquish 2 with a remastered 60fps Vanquish 1 bundled in for Wii U.
