https://www.psu.com/news/silent-hill-2-remake-launch-sales-are-dragging-behind-remakes-of-dead-space-resident-evil-4-in-europe/>Developed by Bloober Team, the Silent Hill 2 Remake saw launch sales clock in at 57% lower than Resident Evil 4 Remake and 31% below Dead Space Remake, both of which were released in 2023.
OH GOD I'M GUNNA UNGH....I'M GONNA BLOOB!!! OH GOD I'M BLOOOOBIIING AAAARGH!!!
Seems about right, RE4 and DS are just more fun since they're these rollercoaster action games where you shoot shit, upgrade your guns and shit.
>>695205957That's good news and all, but do you even play video games? I swear you flopped and shitted fags are just tourists.
>>695206028kys tard
>>695205957Who was under the misconception that SH could compare to RE4?
>>695205957Bestselling game in the series stay malding
>>695205957Oh no, this will definetely impact my enjoyment of the game... Wait it won't, it's allright but mid no matter how often it did sell or not.
>>695206194sh2r was significantly better than woke space thore4r was kino tho (but og better)
>>695206028lol
>>695205957NOOOOOO
>>695206228
>>695205957Anon am I supposed to be surprised if it sold less than RE4R? This is like getting surprised over Fire Emblem selling less than Mario and Zelda.
Yep that's me, you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqgUG_JVzCs
>In EuropeYou mean the one PC-centric continent where a console-exclusive SH was never popular on?Shocking.
>>695205957Why do you guys always use Euro numbers for this sort of stuff? They have dogshit and specific tastes in games - horror is simply not up their alley.
>>695207824Because they publish them and NA doesn't. You dumb asshole.
>>695206028based>>695206263lol
>>695206318anon they aren't talking about the original.
>>695205957>In EuropeI'm so tired of this kind of shit. "In (insert place here)" is so meaningless if we don't have the overall global numbers, because some games do well in some regions while others don't.
>>695207735UK are the biggest consumers of sony movie games, try a different cope
A niche horror game selling worse than a mainstream action game? Who could possibly have seen that coming?
>>695209387>SH2>nicheretard
>>695205957all of those demakes are dogshit
>>695206028Klopp?
>>695205957Never forget.>Dragons Dogma 2 has sold nearly 4 million copies and had a terrible launch that is still considered a bad game where you cant even talk about it without it turning into a pity party with a bunch of divas crying about it>other games are boasting about just hitting over 1 million sales despite being overwhelmingly postively recieved and only positive discussions around themGamers are fucking retards that are hyperbolic in their hatred but dont show up to support good things.
>>695209513>Only sold 1 million copies>RE4 sold 12 millionYes niche.
>>695208774>Dumb assholeLmao, are you a butthurt EU? You guys do have infamously trash taste - the most basic globohomo shit is always at the top of your charts, plus sport game trash. NA isn't much better, but plenty of other games will top the chart. Tons of good games underperform there because of your continents trash taste. Ironically it's the Russians/Ukranians who are the only people putting out decent games there lol.Call me an asshole all you want, but at least my entire continent isn't taken up by dogshit taste. Go back to you zx spectrum, mutt.
>>695209937No but given this absolute wall of text I'm going to assume you are butthurt and projecting. Which makes sense given you rightfully got insulted for asking a stupid question.
these memes are kinda dogshit senpai
SH2 has literally only 2 types of enemies in the whole game, it gets boring pretty soon
>>695205957>in Europe
>people are still convincing themselves that it floppedlollmao even
>>695209937Calm down. Typically the best selling games in Europe and North America are the same aside from very minor differences like sports games.
>>695210054it's alright in the original since you're not in combat as much and the game is shorter but bloober being retards turned it into a shooter where you're constantly in combat killing hundreds of enemies + they made the game longer
>>695210252We know it's sold over one million very quickly. Beyond that we don't know the budget and where sales are at now currently. Time will tell.
I think they're actually planning on remaking Silent Hill 3 next, but this might be a stretch.I saw this gachapon. It also has a QR link to showing off merchandise.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H7-yQVJ398&t=692sReason why this might be bullshit: video title explicitly mentions DBD and Silent Hill 3 is only a part of the video. Apparently SH3 stuff makes a cameo in DBD.Reason why this might be true: gachapon toys typically have a limited run and the video was uploaded one year ago.However, this one popped up recently, as it was not here last week.
>>695210425the padding in the hospital and especially the jail is just insane. at least a hundred monsters in just that section alone.
>>695210026Hahaha, convince yourself of that, faggot.
now all it takes is the mgs3 remake to sell well and konami will understandremakes should be done in house with no censorship
>>695211071Don't need to. Take your own advice first dumbass. Oh and you can add crybaby to that list of insults cause it fits from your current attitude.
>>695205957>behind Dead Space RemakeOof...
>>695211082I'm still not sold. There's the Eva scene in the cave, Snake's 1st person perving, Raikov/Volgin. I'm sure they'll be stuff that is considered 'outdated' and will be removed or changed.
>>695208214>american/console consumers have no patiencemy nigger in christ, I the majority of modern games I tried waste my time with FORCED tutorials, walk-and-talk sequences and bad writing, and those are supposed to be designed with impatient people in mind? don't make me laugh.>history rarely sellsAge of Empires 2 is one of the most successful RTS ever made, being played over 2 decades after release with a professional American scene. Similar success stories are grand strategy games.Sounds to me like the guy is talking about niggers and similar brownskins.
>>695206469>sh2r was significantly better than woke space thoLiterally the same shit.>re4r was kino thokys tranny.>>695210842>Apparently SH3 stuff makes a cameo in DBD.My little tourist child, DBD has had shit from SH1, 2 and 3 for years now. They use what ever "iconic" bits and pieces they can get. Hell, one of the maps is literally a butchered version of the Midwich Elementary School.
>>695210842why didn't I see this shit when I was in Japan, I hope I see it next year.
>>695205957>in europeYou mean the region traditionally treated as an afterthought by nearly all game publishers?
>>695205957>remake fatigue is realgaming is healing
>>695213292Shame cause SH2 remake is better than literally every other remake.
>>695213560>Shame cause SH2 remake is better than literally every other remake.
>>695205957>Virgin resident evil 2 remake>Chad Piglet's big game
>>695213694Oh, you respond like this and yet can't name ONE that is better in recent fame? How curious.
>>695213776mgs triangle is shaping up to be better by the single fact that is not a censored piece of shit
>>695213776Romancing SaGa 2 Revenge of the Seven also SH2remake is literal garbage
>>695213560rong
>>695205957But silent hill was always a more niche series than resident evil
>>695213292>something happens that confirms my bias>LE [THING] IS LE HEELING!!11
>>695205957Didnt RE4R clock in at like 10 million sales? After Bloober constantly fucking fumbling the ball like a god damn retard, how is this a flop for them? 3-4 million copies moved is fucking impressive given bloober is apparently a 250 man team.
>>695209513Silent Hill has always been niche, Resident Evil is the pleb horror series
/v/ is total turd
>>695214385Silent Hill is very niche, the first two games only sold about 1-2 million
>>695206382That would be Silent Hill 1. I realize you SH2 freaks are group therapy revolving doors so I'll be brief: SH1 is the highest ever to date SH game, SH1 and SH3 had the most movies made about them, SH2's poor sales and reviews sunk the development budget of SH3 and SH4 which were co-developed at the same time. SH2 Remake isn't successful due to the nature of AAA dev costs and Dead Space Remake emphasizes this perfectly, having sold like 2 million it wasn't enough to continue doing more remakes. SH2R sits around 1 million, the Steam playerbase never blew up, and the word of mouth is an echo chamber of group therapy Redditors. It's funny how out of touch Silent Hill 2 fans are, by media representation and sales its objectively not the fan favorite. Silent Hill 1 chads and Silent Hill 3 bros run this franchise.
>>695209513RE4 outsold the entire Silent Hill series combined.
>>695214385SH2R moved 3-4m?
>>695205957The best selling game in the series' history did about 2 million so yeah, that tracks.
>>695215013Two weeks trust the plan
>>695205957shills on suicide watch
>>695206228Not RE4, faggot (not RE4R but RE4 HD)
>>695211185Keep seething Eurocuck. I'm not crying (nor is there any implication I'm butthurt) because I've been laughing at you this whole thread while reminding everyone why Euro opinions/sales are worthless indicators for vidya. You all have shit, basic taste
>>695205957I enjoyed SH2R more than the original. I'm thinking on playing RE4R next but with a FPS mod./v/ just doesn't like fun.
>>695209678Eras come to an end
>>695205957Silent hill was never popular. Re5 sales alone are greater than SH sales of the entire series combined.
Even if I wanted to buy a gameeven if I wanted to play some new game I wouldn't cause asking-prices for new games these days are just insane to m(+70 bucks for some goyslop preachy leftist shit stuck in there to get a digital copy thats most likely unplayable for months after release)Maybe if they made AAA games affordable people would buy
>>695205957Thats what happens when you charge 70 fucking dollars. No one is paying that.
>>695214385Its tendies mad because it skipped the switch
>>695216378Well given the fact that I'm not even European and you're here absolutely losing your shit about them kind of tells me that you are seething. You asked why Euro numbers were what they go off and the obvious answer is that they're the only numbers we have and you wouldn't need to ask such an insanely stupid question if you actually had any common sense. Seethe more faggot.
>>695217439Hilarious how you're telling me to "keep seething" and calling me a "crybaby" when I've been laughing at you this whole time! Cute pathetic deflections. You must have been actually hurt lmao
This is a good thing. If it sold well Konami would once again assume Silent Hill should just be constant retreads of 2 with amnesiacs on a journey through a therapy purgatory.
>>695205957I wouldn't expect Silent Hill to sell as well as Resident Evil anyway. Dead Space I'm not sure about.Either way, good. I hope this shitty remake performs terribly.
i did my part, /v/ros
>>695217515I'm sure you're laughing and that's why you're here having a mental breakdown cause someone insulted you. Keep "laughing" you fucking moron.
70$ dollars for an unoptimized 10h remake 98% of the people wont replay, why would it sell?
>>695217439Euro markets are basically the same as BRs >>695217639Nope, your deflection isn't gonna work. Euros have shit taste in vidya, which I've maintained this entire conversation. Your attempts to pretend I've lost my cool are hilarious considering how butthurt you clearly are. I recommend going outside since you're clearly upset lmao
Damn, that sucks.>Launches Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition
>>695210842bruh robbie the reddit appeared in short message are you gonna argue that it means sh3 is happening?
Sad if real, the game was actually good on hard if you patch the stuttering and Mary/Maria/Angela faces.
>>695213776Persona 3 ReloadTrials of ManaDiablo 2 Resurrected
If they had advertised the secret ending more people would have bought the game.
this can't be real, demake sisters insisted it was a huge success that sold gorillions?
Kek I guess he won
>>695218254I can get Mary, but Maria is not supposed to look beautiful, she's supposed to look like an easy lay. Also who the fuck cares about how attractive Angela is, her dad?
>>695205957>Bloober Teamwhat a retarded name for a companyi enjoyed this game though
>>695219107You don't understand. SH has always been niche so it's ok if it sells less than those AAA franchises since it has an indie budget. SH2 also was the most obscure entry so no wonder it sold even less.
>>695206028MARY I'M BLOOB
>25 year old videogame franchise with two Hollywood movies and an upcoming third one>"i-it has always been an indie niche series"
>>695221106>SH has always been niche
>>695221106so "it's ok it flopped" is your current cope?
>>695205957Silent Hill series is barely popular in the US. It's even less popular in Europe. do you know the difference between Europe and UK?
>>695221427no they're both brown now
>>695221296>>695221335You indians really don't know how money works uh
>>695205957Too bad, it's better than the original
>>695221296What? Only the first movie was popular. Second one was barely straight to dvd
>>695205957i don't buy remakes
>outsells your based and woke horror vidyagames combined
>>695221687I don't buy video games
>>695221573Second had Jon Snow at the peak of his popularity albeit.
Am I the only one who very much enjoyed the remake? It's clear they put a ton of love into it
WellThanks to the new anti-spam measure I know this thread is alive thanks to rasheet's fatass boyfriend.
>>695205957>31% below Dead Space Remake,
>>695221492sloppy work, rajesh. the game flopped, plain and simple. you're better off with the "SH is niche anyway" shtick, so stick to it.
>>695221887>>695221887
>>695221760I can't wait to see nu Heather's design. The original is creepy and exploitative
>>695221760How about putting quality and good shit instead of "love"?
>>695221492>Not on Switch game>No upper letter case (pajeets never use those)
Honestly, SH2make is a blast and I had more fun with it than the original
AAAACK DEMAKE XISTERS... P-POST THE WOMXN SAYING JAMES IS HOT OR SOMETHING!!!
>>695221760Lol no they didn't. They literally took Downpour's groundhog day as a canon and tried to change what SH was about. The only part they were interested in loving is the "original" stuff that they had put in
>>695221882Sorry outrage poo, SH besides 1 and 3 were always niche and even 2 only became popular years later, but they were never as popular as REStop pretending you knew this ip
maybe neo-boomers don't have ps5
>>695222308Retard kun, FataL frame games were niche. SH was literally a system seller. That being sad, this is still a flop and hopefully Konami will use it as an excuse to stop producing SH remakes or games
Eileen shaving
I will never give bloober a chance
>>695206318Why did you phrase this like Aizen
It's a remake done right
>>695222563This. SH was the only real competition RE had. Back in the early 2000 they were like Coke and Pepsi.
>>695211082he think konami give half shit of what western incel gamers think about their games LMAO, they are literally unpredictable and come from 10 years of pure slandering and no fucks were given, with that game they forced their main slanderer geoff to bend the knee and suck their dicks nomitating it for 5 awards categories and they will laugh their ass off when kojima will not take most anticipated game award that will obviously go to GTA6 while they will get multiple awards and keep making money with yu-gi-oh and efootball mobile
>>695205957Its time to finally put the series to rest then. SH2R no matter what people may think of it was this series last chance imo. I don't know how good it is or not but I think based on just looking at it that its safe to say we haven't gotten a game in the series as good as this since SH4 or maybe even SH3. So if it still can't sell then that is it its truly over.
>>695205957>lower than Resident Evil 4 Remake and 31% below Dead Space Remake, both of which were released in 2023.That's why shills only compared this game to the original and nothing else.because even RE2R with the shitty B scenario is better>lol look how cluncky was the fights in the originalYes, and your modern version is a bit the same compared to the competition
>>695205957
>>695222051So SH2R?
>>695205957>https://www.psu.com/news/silent-hill-2-remake-launch-sales-are-dragging-behind-remakes-of-dead-space-resident-evil-4-in-europe/Well no shit, the RE remakes were an established thing and DSR had EA marketing behind it with the return of Gunner Wright to boot. Not even a SH fag so I have no horse in this race but expecting their first remake to do RE numbers, alongside Konami's horrible reputation, is retarded.
>>695225001>Laberynth>the only thing they didn't copy/paste from the original>it's pure shitNo, not SH2R, retard.
>>695225268The labyrinth was fine. The transition from the hospital to otherworld hospital and then chasing after Laura was the real issue.
Why does /v/ have a hateboner for this game in particular?
>>695225542>The labyrinth was fine. You are a fucking idiot.
>>695225665Because /v/ fell for the ecelebs retrospectives and the “it’s bad on purpose” aspects of the original.
>>695225689Good argument, troon.
>>695225665their 'queen' spherehunter said it's bad
>>695225665SH2 is a sacred cow around these parts. Changing it in some way, no matter how small, is the equivalent of rape for /v/irgins.
>>695205957Selling less than RE4 isn't surprising. What is surprising is it selling below Dead Space since SH is a much more popular series than Dead Space. Especially SH2.
Where the fuck is all the blender porn? There is a single animation of the new Nurse model being used and that's it.
You retards act like the original SH2 sold a lot. Sales numbers are rough from back then but I think they only seemed to sell about a million back then too. It's a niche series and a mediocre remake, I hope nobody was expecting this to sell like 10 million or something
>>695225665/v/ likes the original because it is structured like an anime. That's it.
>>695231234no im pretty sure bloober and konami thought it would sell morbillions. think about how they pitched this remake. "we'll remake this beloved series but only start with 2 since its the most popular so its bound to make its money back!"
>>695232030I think you're a brain rotted maggot that judges a games quality by sales numbers.
>>695232216sorry for having the mindset of modern game executives faggot
>>695232216Yes, companies think that sales are all that matters in keeping franchises alive to keep making games. Are you a retard?
>>695205957Dead Space remake was soulless though
>>695232216>"dude, as long as it's a critical acclaimed game, who cares about sales and the future of the franchise?"
>>695232369>>695232449>>695232634>you must be autistic like me and base a game's fun factor by salesI pirated it and still had great fun.
>>695233240are you actually fucking illiterate or just baiting? either way good for pirating it
>>695233240The game is out already, it doesn't matter if you love it or not anymore since all people can play it. However if it sold like shit then there won be any more SH revival.
>>695233397Stop projecting.>>695233443OK cool. Remake was still fun. Better than og.
>>695207824>Horror is not up their alleyAh yes, the continent where Halloween and 'gothic' come from doesn't like horror. You don't know what you are talking about.
>>695235089The scariest thing about modern Euros are the muzzies. Maybe of Janes was a white woman in London or Stockholm it would've been scarier to Yuros
>>695235339>ESL babble Ameritard...
>>695223227It wasn't much of a competition. RE1 sold more copies than the first 4 "good" Silent Hill games combined.
