After being announced in July 2022 and delayed in August 2023, it looks like the planned remake of Lollipop Chainsaw is switching gears. Dragami Games president Yoshimi Yasuda announced as much on Twitter, saying they’ve “changed the game design of RePOP from remake to remaster.” Without sharing any details, Yasuda added that this decision was based on “requests.”
Payday 3: What’s Changed From Payday 2?
26.09.2023 - 13:51 / gameranx.com
Payday 3 is here, and that means everyone gets to jump in and have a fun time robbing banks and doing cool stuff. That is assuming the game is working and you aren’t stuck in limbo for hours on end waiting for the matchmaking to work as you slowly go insane listening to the same music on repeat for all eternity, of course.
That minor gribble aside, Payday 3 is the third game in the series which I am sure comes as no surprise to anyone. This means some things have changed, some things have stayed the same, and we are going to exclusively talk about the former. Let’s dive right in so you can get back to stealing necklaces or whatever.

The change everyone should be talking about prior to lamenting is the fact that Payday 3 is always online. Let me tell you, no game squeezed out of the development tube has ever been made better by being online 100% of the time. Not a single one.
Does Payday 3 break the curse? No. Payday 3 mostly works without hitch, but being forced to tether your platform of choice to the internet to play your game – even with bots – is nothing but a hindrance for players. It’s a practice that needs to die. It’s a change though, so it goes on the list.
Another change worth talking about is matchmaking. Payday 2 had a pretty nippy system where you loaded the game up and then hopped into a game with minimal downtime. Payday 3 abandons that model for matchmaking that takes noticeably longer – even when it’s working as intended.
Will this get fixed over time? Who knows, but as it stands, the game can be a bit hit-or-miss on getting you into a game quickly. Some sort of lobby system to go with matchmaking would have been nice too.
That’s all the negativity out of the way though, let’s delve into some cool stuff – like graphics. Payday 2 was showing its age. The game originally launched on the PS3 way back when, and whilst it got some visual tweaks for more modern systems in later life, it didn’t cover up the wrinkles.
Payday 3 on the other hand looks like it was tailor-made to run on the swankiest of tech, and it looks gorgeous as a result. Textures are better, animations are smoother, and it’s a joy to behold from heist to heist. The only negative is that we feel like the gunplay feels less crunchy – and we like a bit of crunch to our shootouts. A minor gripe on a stellar performance.
If you played Payday 2, you know that game was a mess. There were all kinds of ports, updates, and versions of that game. The original releases of Payday 2 became obsolete and ceased updating, the modern releases were fine once they got tarted up, and the Switch

An earthquake changed one of Pokémon’s most promising seasons
The Pokémon Black and Whitegames are lauded for their thoughtful story, ingenious antagonist team, and well-oiled gameplay. As such, their inevitable anime adaptation would have a lot to live up to. In another reality, it might have met that challenge, too. At first, the plot that the evergreen Ash Ketchum and his pals seemed to be facing in the world of Pokémon the Series: Black & White was a breath of fresh air. And it was headed to an explosive two-parter, one that promised a shake-up in a change-resistant series. The kind of event that fans would spend years talking about.
