Nemesis is a top 5 video game villain. Man I cannot wait for that RE3 remake. I wonder if we'll see the onimusha games get remade too.

You can't really take much from this, its a half priced game that never appeared elsewhere in an extremely popular series.
It says nothing definitive about the audience.
ORC did incredibly well for example.

Capcom released 0 and Dogma in the same week on PC.

Thats pretty good considering how bad the game is.
I just remembered. They basically released it at the same time as Dragon's Dogma, which stole all the classic Capcom hype.

Huh, people will buy bad games if Resident Evil is in the title. Guess that brand is still pretty strong.

Super happy about this since REOHD is one of my preferred RE games and it is one of their most beautiful remasters to boot.
Eh...this game, with a reputation for being mediocre on enthusiast sites like GAF, still sold a million copies.
I agree with the sentiment that there's seems to be an opinion not accounted for outside of the "not well liked" narrative. Games considered to be "not well liked" generally don't sell a million copies, again.

Maybe I'm just not remembering it correctly (it's been fourteen years since I played and beat it) but how is it such a bad game? The plot might have been a bit forgettable and Billy was a take-him-or-leave-him protagonist, but the game itself wasn't all that bad.
It introduced mechanics that the series still uses today, the settting was interesting, and the gameplay itself was tried and true RE that we all know. Maybe it was because it was hot on the heels of the REmake? I don't know. My opinion of it might be a bit biased because I've loved the series, warts and all, but I wouldn't call it a "bad" game by any stretch, considering we've had far, far worse entries in the series.
Really?
You would rather play RE5 or RE6 over this?
I would take RE0 tens times over those other games. They were god awful.
RE5 is amazing.

Brilliant!
Second worst game in the classic series (I really dislike Code Veronica) but still an above average game generally.
Now give us an Onimusha remastered collection and REmake 2&3 Capcom!

The dual character system was an interesting peemise but it was ruined by missteps like removing the item boxes and the brain dead helper AI. It didn't feel like two people exploring, it felt like you had two different item screens to juggle and a constant reason to unnecessarily backtrack. Especially since Rebecca is the only one who can properly work with herbs so that's even more inventory management for you.
The enemies aren't scary, or even interesting. Just a bunch of lame "animal, but big and mean!" designs from RE1's cutting room floor. The leeches are dumb, Marcus is the worst main villain in the franchise (he's even worse than freaking Alfred Asheford! How can you be less intimidating than Alfred?!) Billy is boring, Rebecca is the vacant husk she always is, and the idea of all this being a prequel to RE1 just raises a ton of continuity questions in an already muddy timeline.
But it's biggest sin is that the game is just dull. There just aren't any really exciting bits, nothing scary or intimidating or even interesting. Even just trying to play it gets annoying as you constantly juggle inventory or backtrack through the entire area trying to find the one room you dropped an item you need in. Code: Veronica (which I consider to be nearly as bad) at least had the decency to limit itself to just having ugly graphics and a bad story. It at least still plays like it's predecessors.

RE5 is a great game. 6 isn't so great but it's still far and away more fun to play that RE0.
RE5 and RE6 are pretty damn good, I'd rank them higher than RE0, but as I mentioned in my last post, CV is the worst I think.

Fair enough. Your description did bring back a few grievances I remember now.
I still wouldn't call it bad, but perhaps the fact I don't remember much of it is evidence enough. Still I have a soft spot for Rebecca. Hope she gets the Revelations 3 treatment.

God no. 5 (especially) and 6 are superior.
I wonder if these numbers are actually a combination of shipped physical + sold through digital numbers. SFV hasn't moved since the last update.
There's no doubt in my mind that RE2make won't be classic style RE, without even a modern RE control option compromise.
DMC HD Collection sold 1m on PS3 and 360 alone.
They're prioritising last gen titles and their major franchises with these remasters. They'll probably move on to lesser franchises when they exhaust those.
They really do. So much so they made remasters a key part of their console business.

did they lose the code for Onimusha or something? Capcom really doesnt care about a remaster atleast

Huh. Somehow that slipped by me completely!
Indeed Dragon's Dogma sales are now at 2.9 mln (it was at around ~2.2 mln before the update).
RE Zero is not a bad game on a second playthrough cause you can eliminate all the bullshit backtracking. The game is actually pretty fun when you minimise the frustrations of the inventory system but on a second play through that's a lot easier cause you know what you need, what you'll be facing so which weapons are best suited etc and as a result the game is much more fun imo.
I actually liked the game on my second play through.

RE0 gets too much fucking hate, it is actually fantastic and one of my favorite RE games.
I'm super glad it is selling well though and I hope REmake 2 turns out as good as REmake and RE0.

CV is worse.
RE0s reasons for being bad were mostly a product of its time and many don't apply anymore.

The pre-rendered backgrounds in RE0 HD are so beautiful they make me want to cry when I'm playing through the game. It's definitely lower on the list of my favorite Resident Evil games, but seeing how amazing it looks reaffirms my belief that RE2 remake needs fixed camera angles, and preferably to have pre-rendered backgrounds as well. I'm so sad REmake couldn't get the same treatment and probably never will.

If I had to choose? Absolutely go with Remake.
But 0 isn't even the worse classic Resident Evil (CVX...)

The reasons for Zero being not so great has absolutely nothing to do with being a 'product of its time.' The same issues it has now that most people dislike are still the same: half-baked co-op concept coupled with an infuriating inventory system based around the half-baked co-op concept. Add in a game that has such a recycled feel from its settings outside the train in the beginning (which isn't even that great), and lack of really new and cool enemies, you have a pretty obvious reason why it's not a favored entry both then and now.
What's different from then is that now we've had an absence of that type of Resident Evil (and that type of game in general), that many hardcore fans who hated it have warmed up to it, as opposed to when the formula was common and getting stale for many.
CV has always been overlooked. At the very least it had a fresh setting.
Undead Fantasy

CV worse than 0?
WHAT?
WHAT?
I'm happy it did good. Well deserved. Now hurry up, and make 2, and 3 remakes. 🙏
I've always felt that CV was one of the worst RE games ever made, not counting Survivor.
Lord Frieza
Member
Surprises me, too. I don't even really think either are great, or even that good. I would say both are okay. But CV was easily better, to me.
I'm right there with you man. I RE3 is personally my favorite simple because Jill and Nemesis. I have no doubts they'll remake 3 seeing as these games have success.
TGO
Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
CV is worse than 0, it was overrated by Dreamcast fans and some still think it was good when it was just ok for a none numbered title.
I don't even class it as canon.

Played it for the first time when the HD remaster came out. I didn't think it was that bad and it's hard to find a game that plays anything like the classic RE games anyways so it was still worth playing. Even got most of the trophies.
That Leech Hunter minigame is the worst and can go fuck itself tho
