| XGamer0611 said: Capcom is full of crap. The characters are what sell the RE games. Look at the history of the series. RE 1: Introduced Chris, Jill, Barry, Wesker, and Rebecca. RE2: Introduced Leon and Claire, Ada RE3: Brings back Jill RE: Survivor: Introduced Character that were never heard from again. RE: Code Veronica: Bring back Claire and Chris RE4: Brings back Leon and Ada from two. RE5: Brings back Chris. RE0: Reintroduced Rebecca By the way does anybody know where Barry is? He hasn't been seen since RE 1. Capcom will never abandon these characters. They were what made RE. Without them the franchise would have died long ago. They bring these characters back for a reason. Look at the failures that are RE: Survivor, Outbreak and Outbreak File 2. |
Not to say the RE characters aren't great and loved by the fans but I'm sure it had to do with Survivor and Outbreak being crappy games compared to the rest as to the reason why they didn't sell. People like the characthers from a game ultimately because they liked the game.
For evidence of why the games you mentioned sold as why others didn't-
Metacritic scores
Resident Evil (PS1)- 91
Resident Evil 2 (PS1)- 89
Resident Evil Survivor (PS1)- 39
Resident Evil 4 (GC)- 96 (PS2)- 96
Resident Evil Code Veronica (PS2)- 84
Resident Evil Outbreak (PS2)- 71
Resident Evil Outbreak File #2 (PS2)- 58
Resident Evil: Dead Aim (PS2)- 65
Resident Evil (GC)- 91
Resident Evil 0 (GC)- 83
In conclusion, I doubt it's no coincidence that the games with the lower scores were less well recieved compared to games with much better reviews.
I'll come up with something better eventually...
