Not bad for a game that’s basically Leon’s second round of village chaos—Capcom really knows how to make lightning strike twice. At this rate, they could remake RE4 again in 10 years and we’d all still buy it.

Not surprised RE4 Remake hit 10 mil so fast—Capcom’s remakes keep proving that nostalgia with modern polish is an unbeatable combo. Wonder if RE5’s remake can pull off the same magic, though—co-op might give it an edge.
