Good.
Happy to see that a quality, single player-focused game is getting the attention it deserves.
Eat your heart out, all the publishers claiming that SP is dead, lol.

I bought 2. 
Great for them. RE4 is my favourite game of all time and the Remake even pleases me. That says something.
Now please do a propper Remake of Code Veronica or RE5.

The greatest of all time, got greaterer. Well now Elden Ring is the GOAT kinda but I am a RE fanboy at heart since my childhood so....Yeah RE4 bitches! Bigger and better than ever. Can't wait to dive into Mercs (Wesker sounds sick!) and of course I will drop the cash for Separate Ways.

Amazing game. Well deserved. Those UK sales were not indicative considering it outsold RE2 and Village.

Those UK sales were also physical only in an overwhelmingly digital market. I told y'all not to put stock in it

Because RE4's the best.For comparison sake:
RE2R sold 3 million in one week
RE Village sold 3 million in four days.
So this great news for the franchise. Well deserved too, because this game is

BUH ... BUH BUH ... BUH I'VE BEEN TOLD IT SOLD LESS THAN RE8, BUH BUH BUH!!!
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Mixed feelings about the game but overall mostly positive. Good to see single player games thriving
Now use that cash to make RE10. Next gen only. Take it to the next level

I love that Capcom is firing on all cylinders. I still really want to see an Onimusha soulsborne type game and there's many other dormant IPs that could be absolute bangers but man, I really can't complain about anything that Capcom is doing. Far and away my favorite developer and I'm really happy for their success.

Now will it keep selling or are these early sales going to be more than half it's ltd?

I've been thinking about it and I actually think I prefer Village. Not that one is better than the other but just for my own personal preference. Just something about Village that really engages me. I'll probably go back to it once I'm done with RE4 and finish up my Village save in third person. I've played through it about 3 times and have a recent late game save that I've been wanting to try in third person.

I think I did enjoy Village more overall so far, but I'm loving RE4R a lot, I played Village through about 8 times I think.

It still shocks me that companies like EA and Ubisoft still don't get it. People world-wide LOVE single player games.

Greatly deserved. It's amazing how Capcom first showed us what a true Remake could be with REmake on Gamecube and then what a true HD Remake could be with RE2 and now with RE4 what a 6th gen Remake/Reimagining can be.
Capcom stays winning in the Remake game...can we have Dino Crisis now?

If they play their cards right, they just might match the 10 million Silent Hill 2 is projected to sell.

with how high capcom set the standard for horror game remakes, Silent Hill 2 has no chance of even hitting 5 mil.. especially being headed by bloober team

Yeah, I'm sassing Silent Hill. But perhaps the demand will be there since the series has been dormant for a while. I guess we'll see.

Actually the UK sales clearly showed that it was selling great. Too many dumb people don't know how to extrapolate from that data, into what the full data set could look like.

30th Anniversary. Which means 2026.
Which means RE9 and RECV are next. Maybe Dino Crisis 1.
Yeah but capcom can't push insidious mtx with single player games,
Anyway, still think the original is better, (balance, atmosphere, pacing, encounter design, voice acting Krauser saddler and the merchant)
If combat was better balanced early in the remake I'd call it a tie
In its favor I like that they buffed the killer7, giving both magnums a purpose, Leon's and Luis voice acting is fine, and Ashley's is better) all the merchants sub missions were a nice addition and I like the puzzly aspect of the treasures
Soooo I'd still rate it A+ for all the faults (relative to the original) the game is still amazing. It doesn't replace the original but offer a great complimentary re-imagining and ill continue to play both just like the other remakes and originals
