I'm not too interested in sales, but by this definition, REmake 2 has sold 5.8m in a little over 1 year. So, it'd be outpacing RE7.

Dusk Golem: RE8 in 2021, cross-gen, was formerly Revelations 3

Because revelations 2 is the best resident evil game no one has played and I'll die by that.
I couldn't get into RE7 at all and it sounds like RE8 won't be for me either. So it goes.
This... can't... be happening!

Yup I wouldnt be surprised if RE2 eventually became the #1 or #2 top selling RE game with 7 right behind it.
But like I mentioned in my edit. RE7 was made by 120 people, RE2 Remake had over 800 according to Capcom's NHK broadcast a few months before release. So RE7 could have very easily be a much more profitable title than RE2 was.
'Resident Evil 2' Remake Reportedly Took Over 800 Devs

This makes me feel better about it being a former Rev title. Despite their efforts it will become the numbered title they intended it to be. The subject matter is super interesting, but Rev titles have interesting subject matter too, soured by a AA scope. That passion kept this thing afloat is also encouraging.
You kept saying RE8 was scrapped and years away a while back - was that the "other RE8"?
Uh huh. I still don't understand the obsession with the things this guy keeps "leaking" seeing as it's always vague as shit, but sure.
Sounds good to me, re7 was amazing as a first person game so id love to see what else they can do with this perspective.
Yes, but that game will probably end up being RE9 at this point, but it's still years away now so I'm not speaking any further on it (even if I did, it's very likely to change a lot before it is revealed even).
This :(You telling me I'm not gonna get my third person action Revelations 3 and now I'm getting first person, Ethan and Occultism.
800 people, really? Wow, that's wild. Yea, I dunno, only Capcom knows which titles are more profitable. Anyways, it seems like it was more of a passion project anyways according to Dusk, so sales don't seem to matter in this case. It'll be interesting to see what RE9 is, as it was previously 8.Yup I wouldnt be surprised if RE2 eventually became the #1 or #2 top selling RE game with 7 right behind it.

I feel in this specific case I'm not being very vague at all, if I may.
Just a reminder that Dusk said RE3 would be semi open world'ish (Hub based) with the subway serving as a sort of fast travel between areas and that it wasnt going to be so linear in the first half.
Nothing about that was true.
Nothing about that was true.
RE5 and RE7 got both Gold Editions. Even after excluding PS4/One re-releases, RE5 sold (for now) almost 3 millions more than RE7.
RE6 released with mixed reviews and late-gen on October 2012 with PS4 and Xbox One arriving just one year later. Yet it managed to sell 7,4 millions.
I don't see how RE7 is doing better than RE5 and RE6.
I wouldn't worry about it, you've been quite explicit. It's honestly more than I think many of us expected, and thank you for keeping fans in the loop. There's a lot of RE to look forward to it seems.
Occultism and hallucinations. Oh yeah, I'm all in for Resident Hills 8: The Revelations (no matter who it stars).
It was true when I heard it, which admittedly was some time ago. The original idea was the first half would be open up to the Subway, and then the game would get more linear in the second half. That's still kinda' true of the final, but they downscaled the exploration part of the city certainly.
I think some are more focused on that aspect, rather than me mentioning RE3 was going to be "sooner than people thought", it was "outsourced to another studio (M-Two as revealed since then)", and "people should prepare for something very different (because the game is going to be very different than RE3)" stuff, which were vague but I mainly like to hint people rather than be direct like I'm being here, but in this case I know it's coming out this month anyways and it was already partially leaked, I can add more to it and it's a game that needs more time for acceptance I feel.
I wish back then I had mentioned they turned the Tram into a Subway as I knew that so maybe some may see what I said was true though. But I've learned more over time to wait and hold onto things until they can no longer be changed. The RE3 thing was info I had from 2018, the stuff I share now is from this year when the game is not that far away from reveal.
It sold and reviewed decently, and its ending kinda set up a continuation so I guess they just decided why not?
You telling me I'm not gonna get my third person action Revelations 3 and now I'm getting first person, Ethan and Occultism.
I like this.
Leaks this month, official reveal shouldn't be too far off now. The original idea was to reveal it at the next E3, but obviously that's not happening now, so to see when it's revealed I guess.
I believe it won't be kept until near release like RE3 was. I had heard part of the reason RE3's marketing was as it was actually partially was because they were saving money for RE8's marketing cycle as it needed it more.
That sounds like it could be a problem though, trying to take a nearly-finished game and then revamping it?
Do you know if it will have VR included? I hope so. The reception for 7 having VR was super, super positive.
In this case, sure. But frankly I don't think leaking things like this when there is still more than enough time for things to change in development, which has apparently happened in your previous leaks, really does anyone a whole lot of good. The information is interesting, but at what point do you take a step back and breathe before posting these things? Back in January you said we wouldn't be seeing a mainline Resident Evil, meaning 8, in several years. And now it's suddenly going to be coming out next year?
The problem with leaks and information like this is that things in game development change constantly, something I'm sure you're more than aware of being a dev yourself, and unless things are concrete why not just let the company announce what they're doing themselves? If they're announcing it this month anyway, what's the harm in letting them actually reveal something themselves for once?
I heard it has VR, but I want to refrain from commenting because I heard this passively and don't want to get people excited for it only to learn later it was cut or something. I'm mainly trying to stick to things I know in this case so people don't later down the line say, "HEY YOU SAID-" if something or another changed.
I completely understand. Thank you for answering. Fingers crossed for VR implementation then!
RE7 fans should just enjoy the game for what it is. I don't see it being a Top 5 selling RE game in a few years.RE5: 11,5 millions
RE6: 9,3 millions
RE4: 7,5 millions
RE7 (2017): 7 millions.
Remake of RE2 (2019): 5,8 millions

Indeed.
There's some concerns on it, but hey. It's actually what happened to the original RE3 as well, the only direct comparision.
RE3 the original spin-off version originally ended right before the Clock Tower and starred a random civilian of Raccoon City. When it got turned into RE3 as we know it, Jill became the main character, the UBSC were added to the story, Grave Digger got added, and the full Clock Tower and locations past that were added to the game.
I love hearing these rumors and leaks with projected release dates in the middle of a pandemic when games that are basically gold are being delayed indefinitely. Like cool man, nice find. It's probably 2023 tho
So 'Revelations 3' was originally planned for release this year, along with RE3 Remake and Resistance?
Not thrilled with the idea of another first person game. I liked RE7 a lot, but its combat was just serviceable. Returning to third person opened up more possibilities, especially with RE3R's addition of dodging. I don't need full RE6 craziness but blocking in RE7 wasn't satisfying and first person combat against melee oriented enemies in enclosed spaces is awkward in general. RE2R was also a big advancement from RE7 in terms of level design, and a first person perspective may be somewhat limiting there as well.

This post right here, that's why this specific project gets me.
Seems there's some crazy stuff going on with this game and a lot of people are very passionate about it, really curious to see it in motion.
Guess it can still be revealed at someones digital E3 event.
I can see Capcom really wanting a "mainline" title for the 25th anniversary of RE, which is coming up next year as well.
I'm glad there isn't a long gap between RE7 and RE8. Four years is plenty. I'm ready.

I'd imagine that the reveal will be around the month of June if they were originally planning for a reveal at E3. With that being said, everything you've said sounds interesting, especially with it sounding like a passion project.
You can hack a first-person camera into RE2R, so that talking point makes no real sense. Investigating environments can even become more interesting in the first-person perspective if they're inventive enough, but it depends on the pacing they set out to achieve and all.
But I hear you on the combat. Personally I don't like how they balanced the zombies in RE2R to deal with better aiming nor how they balanced RE3R to deal with dodging, but I hear you on RE7's combat being weak. It's consistently been something they've struggled with since RE5, imo.
