Shipments of Resident Evil 2 Top 4 Million Units Worldwide!
- Thread starter vala
- Start date
Facts! Both RE2 and RE7 are amazing RE games and we should be damn happy about their sales and receptions.
Hopefully remakes continues to be TP while RE8 builds itself on RE7 and FP.
Voice of reason. Two amazing games that I'll keep coming back to.
Do you realize that number include Gold Edition? I don't think people refer to sale information due to hatred toward FPS genre. RE7 while is being one of the best survival horror game of this gen , it didn't fly off the shelve as Capcom expected , luckily gold edition save them a bit before the end of the year.
Anyway , 4 million shipment after 1 month is not too bad ( again the series at its peak did 5 million first week shipment ). It might be a lot slower now to drag itself to 5 million as the hype die down pretty quick ( being short game and not much replayable value doesn't help ). But I take that this is as good as it can get for being old school remake of true survival game.
Most replayable RE IMO since RE4. Just a ton of fun. Can only hope RE3 is just as good. Not to mention the possibility of an actual Resident Evil 4 remake.
I only hope for RE4make that we get the choice to recover Leon's jacket from some random ganado.

2 full scenarios and 2 more with some changes plus free bonus modes with more to come I'm sure. I feel like it was well worth my $60. Most games this long would kill for those sales btw.
Two corrections here:
1. RE7 Gold wasn't released until December 2017, so the October 2017 number cannot possibly include RE7 Gold Edition.
2. No RE game has ever shipped 5 million in its first week. RE6 shipped 4.5 million through December 31, 2012, covering a three month period. RE5 shipped 4.4 million in March 2009.
Can't wait for R3make. I think it has the potential to be even greater than RE4 and RE2R of they go all out with it and make it special.
Now where is some more DLC that I can pay for to hold me over?

Didn't RE5 and RE6 pull those numbers without a PC version? Which came like half a year later after they released?
RE2R has an advantage in that regard (and so did RE7).
Anyone think kh3 somewhat hindered the sales for re2? Both games were released in close proximity with each other
Uh...no RE game shipped 5M units in its first week, ever.
RE6 officially shipped 4.5M within that range tho, but obviously, that's wasn't really representative of sales. The game launched on October 2012 and managed to sell 4.8M by february 2013. So yeah, i have no idea where that "5M shipment" idea came from.
About RE7 tho, the games has maintained a solid 300K since its launch, with a bit of boost by the Gold Edition and now with REmake 2's launch. The game was considered internally a success by Capcom and it was able to recover its development costs just by "pre-order" numbers. It's not quite RE5's levels, but in terms of revenue and profit, it is above Resi 6 because of its scope, strong opening at full price and legs.
REmake 2 will definitely surpass it, of course, but it needs to be said while there's recurrent users trying to paint the game as a bomba, for personal reasons.
Fantastic news, glad the game is doing good. As for the third/first person debate, make RE good and it won't matter to me what perspective it is in.
Yes I'm aware... For me I only had the budget to buy one of these games at the time despite loving both style of games. I decided with kh3, but I still plan on playing re2 once I have the money for it.
Sure some players had to make that choice but the games/IPs are so different and have such large existing fanbases that it doesn't really matter overall.
You're correct.
RE5 arrived at PC on the Microsoft Store by September of 2009. As for Resi 6, that was a gap between October 2012 and March 2013.
That's false, while REmake 2 is selling better than RE7, RE7 reached 3.5 million sales in two months, while REmake 2 reached 4 million sales in one month. RE7 was at over 5 million sales at the end of it's first year on the market, my current prediction is REmake 2 will be at 5.5-6 million sold by the end of the year.
This is a bad take who can't see past cameras to actual game design, and from your posts I doubt you've ever even played Outlast and/or RE7.
Wow, who knew this game would be so
Good thing Jill isn't known for her fashion sense.When?
the series had to be informed about what people wanted but luckily we're back to third person now
Congratulation for Capcom ( I will be selfish and pray that newer entries be in TP xD )
I predict it will reach 4.5M at the end of march

these sort of snide ad-hominems are typical when someone doesn't like to be disagreed with and so would rather make silly accusations. play the ball, not the man. actually what RE7 took more from outlast and that style of horror game wasn't camera perspective, it was the tiresome stream of gore-fest gross-out ugliness. luckily the series has rediscovered that effective horror needs to ramp up and strike a proper balance of beauty and safety with ugliness and danger rather than just try to overwhelm you with gross-out shock value nastiness past the point of severed-reattached limbs absurdity. RE7 got a lot right in terms of level and puzzle design and of course those parts of the game have more in common with RE2 than outlast but it abandoned that proper balance the best entries in the series strike and matched that with forgettable characters and a story i couldn't care less about
It's possible. Despite being different genres, they are both highly regarded series. I was lucky enough to get both on release but I planned ahead. I bet there was some overlap
I tried telling that to my wallet but it wouldn't budge, so I chose RE2 over KH3.
So whats that got to do with the camera? RE2R doesn't turn into that when you use the FP mod. Its actually quite amazing. And an official option would have gone along way.
I did my part! So happy for Capcom. This will outsell RE7 easily this year and next games in series will contunue with OTS camera perspective.
Let's see how the Itsuno's magnum opus will do next, but i can see it being easily the highest selling DMC game.

Looked it up .
RE7 reached 4m on Oct 18th 2017

And reached 5m on Apr 7 2018.
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/resident-evil-7-has-sold-more-than-5-million-copie/1100-6458052/
That means it took
9 months to reach 4m
15 months to reach 5m
