Resident Evil 6 developer Capcom believes their latest iteration in the action-horror franchise ?has been successful to some degree?. When asked what their strategy on strengthening the brand name outside of Japanese territories, Capcom responded with the following on their website:
?Resident Evil 6? continues to generate repeat sales in Japan and overseas. Furthermore, initial shipments set a new record for a Capcom title. So this game has been successful to some degree.
We therefore believe it is too early to reach a conclusion about how users view this game. We always listen carefully to the feedback from users and use this information when developing games.
Resident Evil 6 has seen quite a mixed critical reception, with many (myself included) believing that the series has not only strayed ?too far from its survival-horror roots but suffers from an identity crisis.
If the game has indeed performed well commercially, its no wonder after the huge marketing push the game was given.?Before Resident Evil 6 was even officially announced, they created the ?No Hope Left? promotional website, there?s been six or more trailers, a pre-order bonus with Leon?s leather jacket, a theme park, a restaurant, and most bizarrely of all: a human meat market. Despite all their previous antics, this new promotion is surprisingly their most bizarre yet.
Moreover, this could be bad news for disappointed fans. Its possible Capcom may continue to drive this direction, believing that this is what its consumers really do want. Lets hope this isn?t the case.
