Is this game already dead? Nobody is playing it on Steam.
3 people in the group chat, few reviews on store page, not much happening in the discussions.
Is this game a flop ? I guess no bugfixes will be released to fix all the stuttering and bugs.

Based on gaming industry in general and common sense. I don't know a single game with poor sales that wasn't quickly abandoned.

Based on common sense they're working on a patch but aren't going to release it?
Also what poor sales? A game with almost zero budget doesn't need to sell 2 million copies to make a profit.

Clarification: No one can guarantee there will be another patch or what it will/won't fix but at this point there is no indication that the game has been abandoned and some indication that it hasn't.

By the sound of it you need to get that common sense examined because it seems to very verrrry biased.
Personally, after playing both characters I see no more reason to play this other than when you want to revisit it. That being said, those who beat the game will hardly keep playing it.

I mean, anyone who was interested in this game and willing to pay full price already beat the game, it's super short.

Maybe they'll be more players when there's a sale?

Well.. i think it failed to deliver on two important things from the start: a decent price for the content and a decent performance for the year of 2024.

We (the public) did not forced them to release the game in such a state with such a price tag so the fault is entirely theirs.. :steamfacepalm:
It's a single player game, why does it matter? I have finished it twice, why should I keep playing it??

more emphasis should be put on how buggy the game is.
I actually really enjoyed this game. Completed the game with Edward, Once a patch is released, I will try playing through again with Emily.

~39€ for Deluxe and ~29€ for standard - at known places - isn't a bad price. This is a franchise game, not an indie product, so there's your typical price increase because of that.

Just like some people have pointed out, this is a Single Player game, it's also a niche product. While there's praise for both the original and the remake, it will always keep a rather low profile. Unlike later entries of Resident Evil, neither the original nor the remake are games for the casual gamer.

These are simple facts. Technical issues aside (which I have not experienced but I didn't start playing until after the latest patch has come out) the remake is well made for what it is.

The game is a single player, don't a MP or Coop for 1000 hours with gameplay.

I guess most of the players will wait until these stutter-title will finally be fixed in order to enjoy the gameplay.

What do you expect? I've already played through AitD 3 times.
Xtradivarius Apr 12, 2024 @ 6:20am 
Well, i can only play the game so many times even if i had great time with it.
I already did everything that you can do with it.
It's up to the devs to keep the alive now, put some effort to post launch support and add more replayability or something.
Look at The Sinking City, we though it was a flop but the devs kept on workng on the game with bug fixes, DLC etc and now it has a sequel announced against all odds.
People notice when a dev cares about their games, word of mouth is a great tool but if you don't do anything, nothing is gonna happen.
