Goddamn, congrats to Capcom for the success.
Not yet. They're really close, but.......not yet.

Resident Evil 2 is now 2nd top Steam peak concurrent players game in Capcom History and Top 5 JPN in history (72K now), more than 4x of RE7 numbers

Good for them.RE2 Peak concurrent players number had increased to 72K today , It is now a quadruple ( 4x ) of RE7 Peak numbers
Hopefully Capcom can rediscover the same magic for the FG division, because most big IP have been able to surpass them in the last 2 years. I know SFV and Marvel Infinite were made while they were low on money, but goddamn was it a struggle to get both game off the ground lol. For the time being, RE 2 will become the highest selling title when you combine the remake + original sales even if it's not the exact same game and will probably be counted separately?
DMC 5 should easily be the highest selling entry in the series given the momentum that they possess.

Though all 300k thought they were playing a multiplayer game so maybe that shouldn't be counted.
I can see them continuing the main series with Leon and Claire again now, I can imagine the sales of RE3 are going to be huge.
Hopefully will prompt Dino Crisis!
Well deserved. Capcom is killing it with January releases. RE7, MHW, RE2....it's great to see them back like this.
So Resident Evil 3 remake is already in the bag right ?
If they do just as good of a job with that as with this game then I am really looking forward to it.

Well deserved. Have been playing it and the game's brilliant, it oozes quality and charm. I hope it's doing well on every platform, Capcom have earned as much!
I enjoyed Resident Evil 7, but didn't feel the first-person added anything to the game if you weren't in VR so I'd rather them stick to the third-person camera in future installments like it is here. I wouldn't be unhappy at seeing another first-person Resi though, as long as this quality is maintained.

first person actually fits the horror genre much better to me than third person since it's far more immersive but I still prefer resident evil to stick with 3rd person view since that's what it's known for. Capcom should just do another horror series separate from resident evil that is first person
Crossed the 74k mark around 20 minutes ago according to SteamCharts.
Getting really close to Dark Souls II's 79k.

Looks like they've finally got rid of the stink of the "CAPCPOM" days. Monster Hunter World was fantastic and RE2 is equally excellent (if not even more so).
Honestly all Resident Evil games should strive to add VR support. I'm sure it's just a matter of it not being worth the investment right now, but I imagine it would be with RE8 onwards.

Re6 is unique in the fact that it isn't at all fun. I'll give you that!
Especially since the game intentionally tries to misdirect you into thinking it's a totally new thing before becoming increasingly Resident Evily by the end of the game.
Eh, I could see 8 still being in first person again, and R3make in third person. I figure they basically started working on 8 right after 7.
Yes. Also a strange way to say over the shoulder.
And "not first person"
I've never touched VE but good god do I not agree that RE7 was "plain"
They honestly deserve it, since if you look at RE6, it is incredible to see the turnaround. Also regarding the mainline series and the remakes, I think the first person view will stay with the mainline games for now at least. I think they're pretty happy and proud regarding the success of RE7, and then have the third person view for the remakes.
It's a nice balance Capcom have been trying to find for a while now.

I didn't find it fun. You didn't find it fun, but there are plenty of ERA members that loved the combat and Merc mode.
