I've never played RE0 before and Rebirth Remastered neither cuz it was digital only so Origins Collection was all I was waiting for. Let's hope the remake of RE2 (and the inevitable remake of RE3) will have a physical release.
I bought the first one digital, I didn't like 0 enough to buy it for the current price and I still have it on NGC but... if I knew it would be retail boxed in the end I would not have bought the first one digital, retail is so cool... the disc.. box.. the feels man :D
As well as the freedom to remove the install from your hdd and get it back in a matter of minutes rather than an hour long download if you have a slow connection. So glad I got the NDC retail, 47gb download... thank god for Blu Ray disc size.
I bought and played them on the GameCube; two fantastic games, which many believe, including myself, to be technologically ahead for their time.
Weird neck.
Look at the PS4 to Xbox1 gap......ouch!!!
Hope this sells good so we can get more survival horror RE games and more collections in general.
Not really strong sales for a big franchise like RE.
Taking out the fact that both games were first available digitally AND they are remasters, not new games.And RE remaster sold more than 1 million digitally already so yeah.... horrible sales
For remaster of games that are +10yrs old I'd say that's some pretty good sales.
Dude. Game age. It's not gonna have that amazing number.
Damn folks, Uncharted HD Collection for PS4 sold 3.69m copies. RE is more popular than that cr*p!
The fact that you think Uncharted is crap means you know nothing about games. Don't forget that the Uncharted HD was also heavily bundled during the Black Friday sale. Do you honestly expect people are going to go ape sh*t and buy the hell out of this 10yr old remaster? You really need to open your eyes or you're just trolling.
Well they should if they want Capcom to go back to survival horror. Also RE >>>> Uncharted
Oh and by the way, yes people should go ape sh*t because of this because the RE remake and RE zero sold bad back in the day and a lot of people have now finally the chance to play those masterpieces.
I can see you're passionate about RE but unfortunately your statement doesn't make sense with the rest of the world. You can say RE is greater than Uncharted but majority of RE fans will say that they haven't played a good RE game since RE2 or 4. Last gen RE games hurt the franchise (eventhough I personally loved them better) but that's just the reality of it. Nobody has ever gone nuts for remaster. But wait for the release of the full remake of RE2. I'm certain that will sell millions. And that's also how Capcom is currently going back to survival horror.
They are not new games u know. Any publisher would luv their new game series to perform that well.
