It's the first game again, are there really still people that haven't played or at least tried it by now.
I've played it on XBox split-screen and PC. Both times we/I didn't finish it (gets so boring in the middle). It certainly looks cool to be on the start island again yet not $70 cool.
Yeah it will sell more copies on PS5 than on Series just for the reason of GamePass. But it will take a big marketing campaign for it to have some decent sales numbers.
Steam trained people to wait for sales, Gamepass trained people not to buy games, FTP shooters trained people not to bother with campaigns. And these kind of remakes are mostly banking on nostalgia.
Half-Life Black Mesa sold an estimated 3.4 million copies on Steam (end 2024). · Black Mesa generated an estimated $44 million in revenue on Steam.
That's avg $13 per copy. (And it had sales down to $2)
It will take a lot of marketing and convincing new gamers that it's worth paying $40 or more for.
