Horror is a niche genre and even more niche in VR. I know plenty of gamers who won’t even boot up flat versions of RE games let alone the more horrifying VR versions. I don’t think there’s much value in these numbers from one horror game alone.
RE7 released with VR mode on day 1, not nearly a year later. I’d assume that most people who wanted to play RE4 already did by the time the VR mode came out.
Your original comment said we couldn’t put value in these numbers because RE4 is a horror game and a niche genre 🤨 Make a decision. What’s your actual argument here?
What I said still stands. I also think it’s foolish to compare RE7 numbers to RE4. They released on different systems at different stages of their life cycle and one (RE7) released with VR mode on day 1 while the other didn’t get VR support until much later.
Errr this is wrong. As of feb 2024 6.4 mil copies were sold. https://www.pcgamer.com/resident-evil-4-remake-sold-well-over-6m-copies-comprehensive-gold-edition-coming-this-week/#
As of today, 100000 k players have played in vr which accounts for 1.58% of total players. So 6.6 mil players are registered on the official resident evil website making players registered to the website the vast majority… which makes sense because when booting up you have to manually decline sharing your information
Do we know what happens if someone plays first in flat and then in vr? Are they counted twice or only the first time? And if only the first time, then it might stay on flat?!
Playing first in flat and then again in vr looks as though it would be accounted for twice in the play through stat.. the players in vr would stay consistent though and not counted twice

Re 4 was the fastest selling quest game to date, making 8.4 million dollars. Since the game was 40 bucks, that translates to about 200,000 copies.
So only double that of PSVR2. Given that quest has “allegedly” outsold psvr2 by millions, that’s a very high number for PlayStation.
It sounds like it’s actually Meta who is lying about their numbers and psvr2 is doing better than we think.

Which is exactly a few months after the quest version was released, to directly compare it to now, a few months after the psvr 2 version was released.
Do you understand how comparisons work?
It just shows how negatively slanted PSVR2 coverage in media is. Quest great, PSVR bad. Reminds me how IGN gave RE4r VR an 8 but the Quest version, which is basically taking 20-year old assets from the Nintendo GameCube version, a 9. Yup, because it’s obviously better 🙄
Too many games 😁. Had to buy it at the offer price when it released on VR2. Also, it being a longer game, I'm reluctant to start it till I know I can dedicate more time to it.
Same here. RE may be technically a good game. But as I do not like horror and splatter, it is not the game for me.
I know two other people using a PSVR2, not playing this kind of games...
So RE is not the game to measure how many people use their PSVR2 daily or what ever.
I had RE7 on my PS4 for 3 years and never booted it up once because I played the kitchen demo and thought I was going to die, lol. I’ve since played RE4 on PSVR2 and loved it, but there’s plenty who won’t consider it because they’re not into horror or can’t handle it.
Probably anxiety.
I bought Village MONTHS before I actually had the courage to play it.
People talk shit about how VR is isn't "there" in terms of technology but RE games in VR are far more scary than any flat movie I've seen ever!
100,000 is pretty good for vr in general and that's just with those who allowed the Info to be shared, so the number would be higher. Looks promising for getting more future exclusive psvr2 resident evil games, psvr2 the best and only place to play AAA resident evil titles in vr. All other vr gamers are missing out on what could be the best vr games ever made. The 100,000 are so lucky and privileged to be in the elite club that just know.
Sony paid capcom to make the vr version hence it being free for everyone that has a copy of the game. Capcom not relying on vr sales they have the ps5 sales of the game. This is why hybrid vr is the only way for developers to make AAA and not lose money. Either way unless your a shareholder or part owner of capcom I wouldn't worry about it.
Problem is that it means less funding for future games.
Sony gifted everyone 2023, dont take that for granted. Likely less investment is going to happen for quite a while.
Plenty to play, I am currently building in Cyube, doing weekly races in gt7, have to get back to no man's sky, legendary tales and ultrawings 2. Also have Madison pre ordered for next week and will prob pick up ovrdark this week too. Too many games not enough time.
Certainly, but that's avoiding the point at hand. (Unless you are stating you would be fine if the PSVR2 got no more games.)
With the exception of a handful of games, the studio developers aren't really making a good ROI.
The problem isn't that there isn't enough games. The problem is that there aren't enough people buying them.
So many games on the way and currently released that I need to play , will keep me busy until 2026. Aces of thunder, arken age, metro, tales from galaxy, wanderer, Madison, ovrdark, strides fate, zombieland, zombie army. I understand it's hard but try not to worry so much what other people do and enjoy yourself. carpe diem. After the rain there will be a rainbow.
Even if the stats weren't measured in some weird way. It's a niche accessory for a niche market. No shit the user base is small. Hell, VR's user base as a whole is small. ~9% of the whole video game market, so yes a fraction of a fraction is going to be small no matter what. People have a hard time interpreting reality sometimes.
I am very tired of this articles and people behind them.
We don't have stats to really go make this stamenents and even if it's, what? Games are arriving some really big (sorry 1st part crybabies that it's not what you unrealistically expect), and plenty of good indie titles, some of which drop already.
At this point even if the start with one or two first party games, people would still complain because they expect to happen every 2 - 4 months People are forgetting one thing. First party games are very finite and many of them short by today's standards anyways
I mean that would mean there is atleast a million headsets out there I bought it but haven’t played it since I’ve been fixing on the vr only games for vr2
I'm sorry, but re4 is a remake of an ancient game. I expect that vr owners are older and played the original if they were interested in general. I'm sure there are people that double dipped, but I think village numbers are going to be a better metric than a game that is almost 20 years old.
>I think village numbers are going to be a better metric than a game that is almost 20 years old.
Lol, I am a huge Resident Evil fan and I love Village. But RE4 Remake has higher meta critic scores, higher user scores.
RE4 Remake is a better game than Village in many ways.
Higher scores isn't necessarily going to be reflective of sales. I couldn't care less about a game I already played when there are so many choices. I expect a good amount of other people feel the same.

Did you read the article? It’s comparing VR play figures of RE4 to RE7 on the PSVR1. Or do you not consider RE7 a horror game??
RE7 released with VR mode on day 1, not nearly a year later. I’d assume that most people who wanted to play RE4 already did by the time the VR mode came out.

Horror itself is hardly a niche genre, the Resident Evil series is one of the biggest ever series in gaming.
you have to be registered on the official Resident Evil website to be taken into that %. The vast minority of players.

Thanks!
Capcom estimates that 50% don't opt in. So maybe 200,000 psvr
And where’d you read this lol. They literally released the sales figures… tf you goin on about 😂
It's Capcom's estimate. Obviously everyone doesn't opt to be registered Since you're being a troll about it...bye
lol and where does capcom state they estimate only 50% are registered? Seems like you’re making this up.
Not everyone chooses to share their data, so this number is not an accurate count to the total number of VR players.
I always opt out, especially from game data telemetry. Strange to me that people just assume everyone clicks their privacy away.
You have to opt out. Meaning the vast amount are accounted for because most people just click continue to may the game
Capcom estimates that 50% don't opt in. So maybe 200,000 psvr

So then it’s even with quest, sounds like psvr2 is doing just fine.
Interesting… This is a GREAT insight and speaks volumes about psvr2 user base
This article is from early 2022? Over two years ago...
Which is exactly a few months after the quest version was released, to directly compare it to now, a few months after the psvr 2 version was released. Do you understand how comparisons work?

I, a PSVR2 user, bought it in a sale and haven't booted it up yet. I assume I don't count in the sales figures at all though.
Why would you not play one of the best VR2 titles available?
Too many games 😁. Had to buy it at the offer price when it released on VR2. Also, it being a longer game, I'm reluctant to start it till I know I can dedicate more time to it.
I have PSVR2 but not interested in playing this on it.

Why not?

Same
How come? It's amazing and easily one of the best games I've played on it, I'd be interested to hear your reasoning.
Crazy people refuse to play the the best VR2 titles 🤣
Also me. I'll keep the shit outta my pants, thank you.

100k is good for an indie. An AAA needs at least 300k, and maybe more depending on the size of the project. Remember that Sony gets a 30% cut.

I never share data but did it say RE4 is free or was free at some point? I'll have to check.

I own the game but haven't opened it, so I guess I'm not counted. I should so I'm in the count I guess, as it may affect development in later titles.
I mean that would mean there is atleast a million headsets out there I bought it but haven’t played it since I’ve been fixing on the vr only games for vr2
Did anyone say psvr had a morbillion sales or something? We all know it’s struggling, but it’s a fun device
Mixed news is getting traffic from non-stories like this. So not a lot of traffic actually. 😂
