I think it's more that Sony has been catering and forming an audience that buys single player story driven linear games for years now. The people that like those games jumped ship from 360 to PS4 long ago. It's not the only reason RE2 is doing disproportionately better on PS4 but it's one big reason, IMO.
Argos have it at £36.99, it's a crazy cheap game in the grand scheme of things. It's attitudes like the one you quoted that cause developers to cram their games full of bloat, I'd rather play a good game twice than a mediocre once for the same amount of hours.
Yeah I think some of the backlash on RE7 is affecting Re2. It was Sooooooo hyped. Should've done much much better. But I think it should've been a bit cheaper too. It is still a remake after all. $40 would have been a good price for this I think.
I expect it to have relatively good legs as well. The 74% PS4 split is significantly more than expected for me, I definitely thought about 60/40 for this one; KH3's split is gonna be bonkers.
It's more than just a remake. This isn't SotC or Crash.
Aside from the anti-first person crowd I've seen little but love for RE7. Certainly the most positive reaction to a RE since RE4.
Lol reading Era sometimes you would think RE7 got the backlash and not the "misunderstood" RE6
We can agree that digital is higher now compared to two years ago, right?
OH wow. Didn't know that. So it couldn't top RE7 even at a discounted price? That paints an even bleaker picture.
Lol
The importance of digital has been stressed time and time again for UK. We can't know for sure but I just feel like missing that portion of data mars any meaningful discussion on how a game has performed.
