wait, were RE 6's numbers less than these four? For some reason, I was under the impression that it was the one to beat
I think those are just the most recent games, not meant to be in any order
in a similar time frame, RE6 sold 4.9M (out of 7M which Capcom expected by the title's launch).
yes.
Wonder if its downhill or uphill from here for the remakes side of things. I guess uphill if RE5R is next and has co-op.
But if its CV... 🤔

Great to hear and well deserved. 4 remains my favorite one in the franchise and I consider to be one of the greatest games ever.
One day I really need to sit down and try this. I love the character designs of RE, but have never convinced myself to try it.
They really came through on this one, it's a 10/10 GOAT contender, just like the original. Glad to see their efforts rewarded.
Deserved. It made me love RE4 for the first time. I can't think of many remakes of anything that changed my mind around that much compared to the original. It also reinforces how disappointing it was that the RE3 remake didn't get the same level of care.
It won't be CV. It's RE5. And doesn't it have co-op? I don't know
Fully deserved. Capcom is currently the best developer when it comes to remakes and they deserve every sale.
If they remake CV or RE5 next I am here for it.

No idea, I'm guessing it will if they want to remain true to the original.
The 30th anniversary is in 2026, so I expect us to get RE9 next year and RE1 remake for the 30th anniversary.
I'm at chapter 9 in VR and that game is absolutely phenomenal, hadn't played it since the original Cube days and it mostly feels like an entirely new game because I have forgotten so many things, lol.
Capcom has been on such a big roll that I genuinely can't imagine what is going to stop them. There has to be something that'll kill their success until their eventual return. That's how it usually goes with this kind of stuff. When is Capcom going to reach their peak and when will the profits go down and games start to underperform and flop?
It's why i doubt CV will happen (maybe with lower budget, but in this case may as well don't bother, why RE3'd it?).
Either RE1 Re-remake or RE5 will do high numbers.
I hope RE5 also gets some of that spookier sauce RE4 got. And RE6 is the biggest ? because it actually needs to be remade completly for some parts because they just arent good.

That's why you will always have remasters but also why I don't gate those coming out. Konami sitting on a gold mine with mgs series as I believe the gameplay on that deserves a remake from a graphical and animation point of view the technical part is there by the master KoJima. last Of us 2 animations plus msg 4 / mgs 3 is the perfect match but will never happen :-(
Unless they completely rework Alfred, no thanks. We really don't need a major game that connects trans people/crossdressing with mental illness. It's not something I expect them to handle well. It certainly wasn't in the original.
Excellent remake gets excellent sales. I still wish 3 got a more faithful remake like this (no I wont drop it lol, it could have been even better), but 2 and 4 have been amazing recent remakes, no surprise Capcom aint stopping here, why would they when they sell so well. Wish more studios would put half as much effort into remaking their games as Capcom does.
Ah, RE4 is now more successful than RE5 and RE6. All is right in the world.
Until RE5make that is.

VILLAGE - 8.7M >> 9.3M
RE:2 - 13.1M >> 13.6M
RE:3 - 8M >> 8.4M
Capcom would obviously make major changes to Alfred. No reason to believe they wouldn't.
Both RE5 and C:V will require changes due to problematic elements.
Understandable but not, in my opinion, preferable. Had way more fun with RE2R. Capcom will repeat history and take the same wrong lessons from the success of RE4 (again) and turn the series into even more dumb action schlock (than it already is) instead of dialing back to horror.
Imo they made RE4 way more horror than its OG version. Yeah the campy action sometimes comes through, but mostly it seems like a logical evolution. But yeah RE5R will ultimately show how they view it.
