The reimagined Resident Evil 3 is off to a slower start than last year's Resident Evil 2 remake, which shipped 3 million within its first five days on sale.

Not bad i guess,all things considered.

I think they blew the launch by going so fast from reveal to release. Not much time for hype to build. I went today on PSN to preorder the game only to find it’s available already

 

[MiguelItUp]

Come onnnnn RE1 remake 2! Lol.

 

[Aggelos]

Remakes all ovah da place!

Not bad for something that could of been dlc

 

[Kolumbo]

Not bad for a 5 hour game.

 

[CitizenX3639]

Across all platforms, that IMO is weak. O, i just saw that INCLUDES digital, ouch.

 

[iorek21]

Not great numbers, but I guess it was expected. Short playtime, cut content, no mercenaries... that scares consumers.

They should know better

 

[MaximusPayne]

What are you guys smoking? This is great and promises more Remakes. Given almost no hype time and the demo a week before and the situation going on in the world this is not bad AT ALL!

 

[GrayChild]

Considering the release window and the current global situation, that's not bad at all. I actually expected it to do a bit worse.

 

[Guardian's Light]

This worries me, hope Capcom won't be legitimated to give us remakes with cut content only because they sell

 

[Max_Po]

Does anyone thing that CAPCOM Should include a classic mode. Exact same game with updated graphics...

 

[Shakka43]

These are pretty good numbers considering where the world is at now, people may have more time to play games but they are also more conservative on how to use their money.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

That's nice Capcom. How about some celebratory content like adding things to the game?

 

[Saber]

This is not good news for me because of how much low content those games have. Which will lead to very short remakes, with the same gameplay, reused zombie models and iconic places removed althogether. They will think people are fine with that and will follow up with this model.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Good old shit still sells well. How surprising is that. You hear that Sonic Team?

 

[Shin]

Wrong thread.

 

[Vampire On Titus]

Not bad at all considering 3make doesn't have the insane word of mouth that RE2 did due to the length and other complaints.

 

[D.Final]

Across all platforms, that IMO is weak. O, i just saw that INCLUDES digital, ouch.

True low numbers

it's resident evil 3. I'm not expecting best sales from this opus

 

[Geki-D]

Yeah, the original RE3 didn't do crazy sales either. RE2 is like a legendary landmark game, RE3 really wasn't so I'd expect it's sales to have about the same gulf between RE2R that classic RE3 had with classic RE2.

That said, 2 million is still really good.

 

[MasterDerico]

Not good game at all.
Don't waste 60$ on this, a friend advice...Wait a sale.

More info why on the OT, for spoilers purpose.

 

[GenericUser]

I didn't bite because I heard it was pretty short with little replay value and FF7R was right around the corner. I'm glad it did reasonably well nonetheless. Will definitly get it down the line, once it's under 20 bucks.
