And slowly it weill eventually reach the 6 million mark. Great legs. Where are all the haters? There is one yummy crow to be served ;-)
Can't say I loathe the game, but to me it wasn't really a Resident Evil that interested or grabbed me. I'm waiting on REmake 2 to come out, a Resident Evil title I'm actually looking forward to and a return to the older series.
Thats valid. I mostly meant people who stated that sales of & are low and it bombed. I cant wait for RE2R either :-D
People that are saying it's not really RE - well it's more Resident Evil than RE4 was!
It's not like the older RE titles to me tbh. Resi 4-6 was a hodge podge of action and shooting than they were survival horror, which is why I hardly count them as being anywhere close to the originals. I just find 7 to be a new kind of mixed breed of Resi.
can't wait to finally see the first trailer of resident evil 2 remake
Good sales, but I dont know if it is enought for a triple A game that costed probably a lot. I hope it is and we get a RE8 in the future.
As far as I remember the development budget was under 5 and 6, so it wasnt that expensive all things considered. Also, considering Capcom's track record they arent known to overblow their investment as much as Square does.
Thanks guys, good information! Btw I think the costs of development of triple A games nowadays are surreal and not sustainable in the long run. Good to know some developers are realising it.
Good performance for this new take on resident evil
Wasn't RE6 considered a disappointment when it "only" sold 5 million? Good to see they have their budgets and priorities straight so these amazing sales figures can actually be celebrated.
I really hope 8 is a proper RE game and not a sequel to this. This game should have been a new IP
Outlast 3 did pretty well for itself.
