Well for one, RE4 Remake isn't "cutting edge graphics" exactly, it's a game that runs fine on a bog standard 11 year old PS4 and potato PCs and even the iPad. It even runs on an iPhone even though probably iPhone 16 or 17 will run it better, but the point is it's playable even on mobile hardware. How many of those copies did RE4 sell at full price? Probably half at best? Every time I looked on the Steam page it's available for like $20-$29. That also has to be part of the equation, some of these developers are selling games sure, much of the sales are coming when the game is heavily discounted because everyone and their grandma knows if you wait a few months you can often times get a game for 25%-50% off and if you wait even a bit longer than that, the discount will be even higher. No wonder Capcom's own president is crying about the price of games being too low. Their so-called "showcase" next-gen title should be Monster Hunter Wilds, that game looks like a PS4 game on moderate steroids. |
I'm pretty sure Capcom said more remakes are coming, so I'm guessing a number of copies sold at full price.
You are still making this an all or nothing discussion.
Graphics aren't everything but they do matter. If they didn't remakes would not be selling millions.
Edit
If your point is Cyberpunk shouldn't be the standard, fair enough, I agree.
