Only 1 mil sold between all platforms. Flop

[Purpleetea]

Yikes. To think that today we have more players than ever and more exposure to franchise you think it would have done at leas 2 mil bare minimum. Shows how DEI ruins everything

[fx!]

It is always the grifters, casually ignoring the fact that 1m figure is from a week ago, they probably didn't even notice at all. You rival incompetence of modern journalists guys at least you are shouting mostly to echo chambers, go get 'em tiger.

I can't say its a shocking revelation that a lolicon user would link an alt right grifter YTer who doesn't think an abuse victim is attractive enough for him to rape. It seems to be a repeating pattern that falls in line with a lot of these freaks lol

And I honestly think most of them just watch their scammer right wings because it feeds them their fuel while it fills the pockets of the person deceiving them. They tend to think watching them ramble about DEI and woke in games where there aren't any is the same as playing the game.

Maybe thats why they hate the game, because they made angela a over the age woman and not a 16 year old teenager xD

And honestly, the remake is much better than the original, idc

Silent hill was never big, 90% of the fanbase have never played a silent hill game and honestly 1mil is more than i expected this to sell.
theres no doubt the female character models put a massive dent in how the game was recieved though as it's an incredibly common talking point whenever the game is mentioned.

If it isn't named Resident Evil, all survival horror games generally get modest sales. Just look at Bloober's other games; they're a small studio and this is probably their biggest success.

Comparatively speaking this game did fine. If they were expecting Resident Evil numbers, though, then they're a bit delusional.

I think it’s fair to say there won’t be anymore silent hill remakes. The second was the most beloved title so remaking others is just an exercise in diminishing returns

And we all know supreme pachinko developer Konami haven’t got it in them to make an actual brand new game that doesn’t suck

We saw what happened when they were left to their own devices with metal gear survive so what do you think would happen to a brand new silent hill. I shudder to think about it

Probably why they chose to just remake metal gear solid 3 as it’s an easy cash grab. As bloober team aren’t involved in that it hopefully won’t be compromised to pander to a non existent audience

Remember when Konami were once seen as an amazing company. They’ve fallen faster than this game has out of the top sellers

Wukong's not a great example, because it had the CCP backing it. Wukong's release was basically a national holiday in China; people were given paid time off from work if they bought the game.

Over 80% of Wukongs sales were in China. Without those Wukong sold roughly the same as SH2.

Lol. LMAO even. For alt right grifters they sure get offended when a game isn't pandered to them and being called out on it.

Clearly it doesn't pander to a non-existent audience as this is the fastest selling silent hill game of all time.

Their last game had a budget of $7 to $8 million. Even if you triple that, that's $24 million for SH2R. Hell, let's make the budget $30 million.

The vast majority of users are going to pay $70 for this title. But, the purpose of this breakdown is to refute the naysayers, taking into account all of the unauthorized key sellers, regional pricing differences, etc. So let's revise the average sale price all the way down to $40 a pop.

Both Steam and PlayStation take a 30% cut, on the high end. $40 mil - 30% ($12 mil) = $28 million.

That's $2 million away from profitability, after 3 days. That's before the holiday sales, DLCs, discounts and re-releases, if and when it appears in other platforms, etc. Plus, it's a single player horror game. It's going to have a longer tail than some F2P online game.

Also, while it's true that Konami will get a cut, they also provided funding. Even if you assume that they provided 60% of the budget, and get 70% of the cut, that puts Konami $1.6 mil and Bloober $3.6 mil away from profitability... after 3 days.

The game is a success.
Now that we have an early indicator of sales figures, the only hope the detractors have is to inflate the supposed budget of the game beyond realistic expectations. They'll compare it to games from much larger teams, games with much larger development and marketing costs.

I think there's a decent chance we see more Silent Hill Remakes.

Silent Hill was basically a dead IP and what few fans Silent Hill still has were very skeptical of this Remake. No one believed this would be a good game and people are slow to accept that it is.

But, it ended up being a great game and everyone who's playing it, both users and critics, loves it. Silent Hill 2 Remake established some much needed credibility for a Bloober fronted series of Silent Hill Remakes. The next one would likely release to a lot more confidence/optimism from Silent Hill fans and a lot more interest from survival horror fans in general.

A game released in 2024 sold faster than a game from 20+ years ago released to a substantially smaller market?

Shocking stuff. lol

You gotta ignore that one. They just troll every new release. Same person was in the Dead Rising remake calling it "Woke" because they expected to be able to have "upskirt sex with the female zombies"
