It was predictable, but for its launch, Resident Evil 4 Remake is breaking house. One of the most popular new generation sauce episodes is breaking records at all levels.
Resident Evil 4 Remake as well as the remake of RE2 and RE3
Resident Evil 4 Remake was expected and after the first days of marketing it is confirmed in figures. Given the feat achieved in just forty-eight hours, Capcom shared a press release to accurately show the power of the saga and this title.
Resident Evil 4 Remake sold out in two days more than 3 million copies. With such sales, the franchise now surpasses the 135 million games passed since its inception.
The Resident Evil franchise features survival horror games in which players use guns and other items to escape from terrifying situations. Since the launch of the first title in 1996, over 135 million units of the series have been shipped. The software has not only received rave reviews from the press, but also garnered praise and attention from players who have followed the Chainsaw demo. A trial where they could discover the opening sequence. Thanks to this, Resident Evil 4 Remake has exceeded 3 million units sold in the first two days of marketing.
Over Capcom.
It’s already huge, but it’s even more impressive compared to the latest remakes. Resident Evil 2 Remake took a week to reach 3 million copies and Resident Evil 3 Remake sold 2 million units in 5 days.
Problems starting
Unfortunately, the Resident Evil 4 Remake experience isn’t quite at the top just yet. There is a flickering phenomenon – flickering on the screen – in the PS5 version that will be fixed in an update. On the PS4, on the other hand, it’s a disaster. You want clipping here, drooling textures and a frame rate that goes below 30 fps, it’s no fun. It remains to be seen to what extent future patches will be able to correct the shooting on the old generation, the most problematic version.
And what will happen to Resident Evil 4 Remake after this release? If successful, the PSVR 2 mode in development should offer increased immersion. From a subjective point of view? Capcom did not give any details. Ada Wong’s DLCs could also be offered in the coming months. Dataminers have found traces of the content “Seperate ways” while searching the files.
In April, RE4 Remake will continue to extend its lifespan with the highly anticipated Mercenaries mode. A free supplement entirely focused on scoring. In the original, we had five characters to choose from to eliminate most of the enemies in a limited amount of time. Depending on the result, we won more or fewer stars and, in the event of an error, a new weapon could be procured.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
