In arguably the most disturbing reveal of Sony's E3 press conference this year, Suda51 debuted a trailer for his newest game Let It Die. However, the ambitious auteur was also previously known to be working on the PlayStation 4 exclusive action title Lily Bergamo. What's more, the presumably bonkers brawler was set to release sometime this year, leading us to wonder what had become of the erstwhile title.
Well, in a recent Famitsu interview, the luminary stated that his original PS4 project evolved into the one revealed yesterday. He also confirmed that several of previous title's defining mechanics, including its asynchronous multiplayer, would be making their way into the new game. Finally, he noted that the original game's main character has been completely scrapped in favour of a character creation system.
In truth, we're slightly torn on this one, as everything we'd seen of Suda's first project showed much more promise than the ultraviolent and slightly gross trailer for Let It Die. At the same time, we're sure the divisive director had his reasons for making the switch. What do you make of this news? Were you looking forward to Lily Bergamo? Let it all out in the comments section below.

This was mentioned on the Let it die thread the other day. Big mystery, it has simply vanished.
*Edit after reading the whole article, Im not sure how the original game even evolved into this game. I see no resemblance at all lol
Oohw no.... Lily bergamo had my interest... This...
So they killed it and made other stuff with it. just like they did with LittlebigPlanet Hub, damn it looks like I was the only one excited of that game T_T
There wasn't enough shown for Lily Bergamo to get excited about, just some vague promises and a few concept screens. I had a look into Let it Die and drew up a post for it here as there's more to it than ditching a visual style/protagonist & making things ultravoilent. It sounds like it has some neat ideas. People should take a look before jumping to conclusions based on a stylised trailer. Just sayin.
Lovely little bit of ultra violence is just what the happy tappy indie heavy console needs.
@SimonAdebisi Haha "Ultra Violence" always reminds me of Clockwork orange when I see the phrase.
@MadchesterManc thanks for the link, sounds pretty good to me, some of the style of the trailer reminded me a little of siren: blood curse.
I use to like Suda 51 games, theyre very unique and he knows how to screw with your head and make very entertaining games. When they showed the Let it Die trailer, however, I was very underwelmed and actually very disgusted with it. I will definitely not be playing this Suda 51 game, he has basicly lost my interest ever since Shadows of the Damned.
@hydeks "disgusted" harsh words, my man. All we got is one freakin' live-action trailer! Come on! I know it's a cliche, but don't judge a book by its cover.
@Mrskinner Me too. A Clockwork Orange is one of my favorite movies/books so that's why.
But anyways, really looking forward to this, love Suda! But speaking of wacky, and unique. I hope D4 comes to PS4, Deadly Premonition is one of my favorite games of all time, hope we get a sequel(pre-sequel?) soon.
Disappointing, not for me but good luck to him with this game anyway. Doesn't seem like his games usually do awesome numbers but I guess it could gain a cult following like Manhunt or MadWorld.
Although I watched the trailer for Lily Bergamo several times, I could never work out what it was all about. It always just left me going - what the ... was that?
Don't know if I care that it morphed or not.
@Shellybird27 Yep clockwork orange is a personal favourite of mine too. Good taste! lol
i love suda 51's work, and its either you hate it or love it from all the opinions i read from his games
I had expected to hear news about Lily Bergamo ad E3 but, this wasn't the news I had hope for
I wanted Lily Bergamo to happen so badly. I hated the trailer for "Let It Die"; it's the most demonic and grotesque mess I've ever seen.
This was not what expected to see news about Lily Bergamo. I was looking forward to seeing her story unfold. Not something that resembles DayZ. Basically in my eyes based on MadchesterMac's link, Let It Die is the equivalent super fancy and updated version of DayZ without the need for shelter, finding supplies and zombies. I am not impressed with this.
