Well deserved I'd say! Probably the best REmake so far from Capcom.

 

[Eimran]

Well deserves. Easily my favorite game of this year.
They made the remake with a lot of respect to the original and the fans and even improved it (which was a hard task to do)

 

[Certinty]

One of the best remakes ever made so good to see.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Fantastic. Remember how I was left in disbelief when they announced the game. RE4 was already one the best games ever made. Why is this needed?

Boy did Capcom deliver. What a feat.

 

[skneogaf]

Whenever I see these figures, I can't help but feel underwhelmed as the game is better than most games I've ever played so it reaffirms how much I dislike the majority of people on this planet. Stop buying other games and buy games like this and dead space.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Should be twice that imo. What a game!

WHy aren't more people buying bangers like this!?

 

[Roufianos]

Should be twice that imo. What a game!

RE2 launched in Jan and didn't hit 5 million sold until the end of the year. Safe to say this is on track to top its 10m+ figure over time.

 

[Klosshufvud]

Should be twice that imo. What a game!

Because the original still holds up exceptionally well today. Sometimes a Remake may seem superflouous when the original barely feels aged.

 

[kazuyamishima]

Excellent results for Capcom.

FFXVI will be there soon enough.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

From IB:

For the 5 million sales mark

• RE7 : 14 motnhs
• RE2 R : 10 months
• RE3 R : 22 months
• RE8 V : 5 months

We NEED IT

 

[Tazzu]

Buh buh RE hasn't been good since RE4!

Buh buh HD model is broken!

 

[Skifi28]

I did my part, might even double-dip on PC at some point.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Shipments -_-z

 

[fart town usa]

Nice. Patiently anticipating the release of the VR mode .

 

[adamsapple]

On the Code Veronica Remake hype train

nah, time to move onto the next new game.

 

[RJMacready73]

i'll add a 1 to that as soon as they release the PSVR2 patch

 

[EviLore]

Well deserved.

 

[Madflavor]

Still my GotY. BG3 might take that spot, but RE4R is one of the best games I played in the past few years.

 

[SeraphJan]

Horror game usually don't sell much, this is very good

 

[Alan Wake]

Happy for them. Gosh I love this game. The remake was just what they doctor ordered. I played RE5 on my 360 after finishing RE4R and it really felt like complete trash in comparison.

 

[Mr Hyde]

RE4 was an incredible remake. Capcom gave it the love it deserved. On my top 3 this year with Tears of the Kingdom and HiFi Rush.

 

[The artful mincer]

Resident evil is on a roll since RE7 the resident evil franchise has sold 44 million units just counting new releases.

 

[Grace in the Dark]

I think the idea that characters don't age quickly, isn't exactly new.

All of the lords in the castles in the franchise seem to be the same age, regardless of the year they're in. So this is definitely because of their virus bonding from many years previously, I reckon.

Therefore, what Jill is experiencing is kind of the same as Rebecca and Leon, and whatnot. But I don't know about the Las Plagas and if they can create a similar effect on the person's DNA. Although it's probably possible.

 

[JimmyRustler]

RE5 was always trash. Really curious to see how they're gonna tackle it. A 1:1 Remake would be disastrous as large parts of the game are not salvageable, especially the story.

 

[Robb]

Seems very well deserved, I haven't played it yet but I definitely will.

 

[PanzerCute]

Should be twice that imo. What a game!

WHy aren't more people buying bangers like this!?

Personnally just waiting for the PSVR2 patch to release. I cant wait to be in this masterpiece.

 

[Alan Wake]

RE5 was always trash. Really curious to see how they're gonna tackle it. A 1:1 Remake would be disastrous as large parts of the game are not salvageable, especially the story.

And yet it sold really well. A remake would require some major changes.

I hope they go for Code: Veronica instead, which was a good game but needs some twists here and there. (And, obviously, would benefit from new voice acting.)

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

If the remakes are doing numbers like this, then why not do Code Veronica?

It sold well because of the brand name and because it was a sequel to RE4. I think there is a reason why Capcom abandoned a lot the thing RE5 introduced to the series.
