Analytic Dreamz: Notorious Mass Effect - "RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM SALES TOP FIVE MILLION"

Starting point is 00:00:00 Shepard promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for ad free content now of course the entire gaming industry seemingly stopped and came to a screeching halt because Resident Evil Requiem is now available as looking at Capcom in totality safe to save they've already been receiving mammoth amount of money from the Resident Evil franchise to the point where as far as a company they have around 9.5 to 10 billion dollars with a beat so getting back in the resident evil requiem specifically not only is it critically acclaimed from the people who are personally playing a game but from a major conglomerate such as a metacritic safe to say this is the highest rating highest rated resident evil game ever surpassing the prior highest which was resident evil for

Starting point is 00:01:00 So now when you look at Resident Evil Requiem, everybody in their mama has extreme high praise for this specific game. And guess what? We're going to get into it in this specific segment from a sales and review Roundup perspective. As if you don't know, even though Resident Evil Requiem is currently selling a crazy amount of, uh, it's selling like hotcakes as you look at Steam specifically. even Capcom had it come out themselves and say that Steam is responsible for over 50% of game sales and with that being the case, the main thing I wanted to do was look at the consoles

Starting point is 00:01:45 as far as the specific revenue or just the standings that Resident Evil Requiem is on the charts as interestingly enough, it is not in the top 10 on Xbox but it was on the top 10 of Nintendo excluding Japan because of course when you look at Femitsu Fimitsu hopefully I'm saying that right which is literally the chart

Starting point is 00:02:09 for Japan specifically for Nintendo games Mario Tennis is currently topping the charts but of course that's Japan primarily when it comes to Resident Evil Requiem overall it is doing well on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform because if you don't know it's also on a Nintendo Swiss 2 I know a game like this there's graphically intensive you wouldn't think it'd be on a Nintendo Switch 2, but actually it is and is running phenomenal to the point where I have to say.

Starting point is 00:02:35 Nintendo, you actually had a graphically intensive game on your hardware, and it didn't completely explode. So looking at Resident Evil Requiem as far as the platforms that is available on, it's currently on PS5, Xbox Series X&S, Nintendo Switch 2, and of course the PC. And at the end of the day, no, ladies and gentlemen, it is not on the retro console, which is the Xbox 1 and the PS4. Shepard. Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on?

Starting point is 00:03:07 Sad day in history for retro gamers out there. But anyway, so getting back into, you know, in all seriousness, Resident Evil Requiem is doing phenomenal. When you look at it being the best-selling game on PlayStation currently, as far as what people are currently playing on the PlayStation platform, Resident Evil Requiem is at number one. When you look at Steam specifically, it is... Let me see.

Starting point is 00:03:29 4 or 5 it is currently the 6 most play game on steam and it had an all-time peak of 344,000 for a days ago and of course it's steadily above that 100,000 mark which is phenomenal for a single player game because of course when it comes to the stigma of single player games not selling safe to say resident evil recrion it's showcased that if you put a high quality product out there to the market people go on the flock and come in droves because of course all we want is a fantastic experience for us to play as gamers so getting back into the resident evil franchise safe to say when you look at resident evil five back in 2009 objectively speaking that was the best selling title 16 million plus units historically and of course when it comes to revenue it well know as far as the franchise wide it generated over 170 to 100

Starting point is 00:04:29 183 units sold so now you come to realize Capcom of course Resident Evil is their baby right because not only has it made them a lot of money but of course when you look at it as a company they are towards the top 20 I believe as far as some of the most profitable gaming companies in the world trailing behind companies like GameStop I know the stigma around GameStop but you know hey just the objective analytics don't lie so It's trailing companies like GameStop, only about like a billion, you know? Only a billion, right? But anyways, Nexon, Bandanamco, Konami, and then you start to get into, you know, the discreferency as far as the take twos, the Roblox of the Worlds, the EAs.

Starting point is 00:05:14 But Capcom still is respectable in the gaming company industry, especially the amount of revenue that's bringing in from the latest title, Resident Evil Requiem. Now, the main thing I wanted to touch on before we get into the mechanics and, of course, the review roundup, of this specific game is who in the world thought it was a good idea to put all the popular characters of Resident Evil together, but to make the dialogue between them trash. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming, like, what is going on? Because I was doing my research, I was like, hold up now, you're telling me Resident Evil has all these different franchises, a lot of favored characters such as Leon, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, etc.

Starting point is 00:06:02 And none of these people have crossed over until you realize they have crossed over. In 2023 with the game, Resident Evil Death Island. But of course, when it comes to reviews from people who actually play the entire franchise, they said that of course they respected the fan service that was delivered. But overall, the predictable plot, the weak dialogue just made them say to themselves. You guys. See, that's the problem. So if you was wondering if these favorite characters ever crossed over, they have, it just wasn't good. So with that being said, now it's time to dive into a Resident Evil Requiem.

Starting point is 00:06:40 As if you don't know, this game came out and notoriously affected the masses February 27, 2026. It's the ninth installment in the mainline entry. Of course, the predecessor was Resident Evil Village, which when it comes to the previous games, I believe it wasn't even on the level. of Resident Evil Requiem. Like, it just blows it out of the water. When you look at other games that previously came out before Resident Evil Requiem, yeah, it wasn't even close. Resident Evil is actually, it's on pace to be one of the most profitable Resident Evil's of all time,

Starting point is 00:07:14 which is a huge deal, right? So, anyways, getting back into Resident Evil Requiem, if you don't know, there's the dual protagonist route that they have you going throughout the main story, which is Grace Ashcroft, And then of course, the one and only Leon S. Kennedy. So the plot focus is on Grace investigating mysterious deaths tied to Raccoon City survivors. And then, of course, you have Leon bringing the action element as far as Grace bringing the horror element. So it's a nice duality they have going on, especially with the pacing of this game.

Starting point is 00:07:51 Because, of course, watching it for a little bit because, you know, as far as me playing the game, I just don't play horror games. You know what I'm saying? I'm just keeping it eight more than 92. I do not like to be scared. And at the end of the day, I play games for enjoyment, not to be on the edge of my seat. So anyways, when it comes back into the hybrid perspective, you can have a first person or third person perspective with grace.

Starting point is 00:08:15 I believe Leon is locked on third person. There's no first person for Leon because it's more action, really. Leon's for the action. Grace is for the horror immersion, which is why there's a first person option to play as with grace so when you come to grace's side of the campaign it's more horrific in horror elements and of course it's added on well that's added on to the fact where you have limited ammo stealth plus evasion focus things that nature as far as environmental puzzles and then you come to leon kennedy and they basically say to themselves

Starting point is 00:08:53 they do they're basically like you know Capcom is looking at you saying you want more horror you're going to play as Leon and it's about to turn it to God of War Resident Evil Edition So you look at Leon the over-the-shoulder combat the Perry Mechanics, the melee combos you come to realize it's completely different

Starting point is 00:09:14 genre whenever you switch between these two characters now of course the horror element is there but when you're playing as Leon it's literally the God of War effect you're playing as a character that has no fear in his heart you're playing as an absolute dog now grace um she is technically a dog if you know one of the other dogs like the uh the the the the the weenie dogs or you get the point basically i'm saying like she's not a actual big dog like leon is she's uh more timid and scared you you come to realize throughout the gameplay they show that magnificently with her shaking

Starting point is 00:09:46 while holding a gun uh going throughout the environment and freezing like if you're going third person or first person you still experience the state you're same the same type of timidness uh if that's even the word there's the same type of a timid behavior that grace uh portrays especially uh compared to leon so the story of course intertweens with these specific characters and when you come to the ai in this specific game i have to say capcom has had one of the smarter a i've seen in the year of 2026 along with marathon marathon and resident evil race Requiem to me has had some of the most impressive AI that I've seen in a video game in a year of 2026. So that means said, specifically diving into the AI as far as the zombies.

Starting point is 00:10:39 If you don't know, there's a specific mechanic in this game that a lot of the interactions and hobbies that the humans had before they were turned zombies, basically they keep that up. Right. So specifically, I think I had that on here. Yeah. specifically when you look at certain zombies in this specific game they are doing things that they were in their real life so if you look at i don't know if it's actually on here let me see let me see i think it was a singer yeah here it is all right so resident evil requiem there's zombies that adapt and defy expectations such as um the roles that they played before they was turned

Starting point is 00:11:17 into zombies for example yeah maize cleaning blood for no reason but frantically right just just for the heck of it you know they're like we want to make you scared by any means necessary and guess what i think they accomplished that and then also you come to realize that you have the singer who ends up screaming if you get close to him and let's just say it's a very interesting effect now like i said i'm not going to spoil the whole game i just want to let you know how advanced some of these a i mechanics are you have the the chef that staggers staggering with utensils uh repeating behaviors such as a certain zombie that hates when you turn the light off or whatever because he used to work in that hotel or the place that you're at. So the reason why I say that is because

Starting point is 00:12:01 when you're playing as grace, the stealth mechanic rewards you for recognizing those behaviors. So you're welcome. So anyways, I just want to bring that to your attention. Also, when it comes to the history of Resident Evil, some will wonder to themselves, is this, is the zombies in this game more like walking dead or just walking only or if they more are they more like day one or what's it called like day z or whatever where they just run in a four flat like you same boat um specifically for resident evil zombies with them being mutated technically they're not walkers but they're also not just insanely fast and hawking you down uh from all the way across the room it's basically emphasizing the horror mutations so they have i would say it's similar to like a superhuman effect but it's not

Starting point is 00:12:53 like to the point where they're running like the flash like in day z they're basically running to the point where there's nowhere you can go the the uh will smith movie i forget what that's called the last i forget what that's called but basically those type of zombies that's running super fast when you can't even get away it's not like that for this specific game they focused on the person behind the mutation so even though if they were strong before they got bit but now they're stronger if they was doing chef stuff before they got bit now they're doing chef stuff especially in this

Starting point is 00:13:22 specific game hopefully I'm explaining right I don't know if I'm I don't know if that's a plainest way to put it but that that's basically what I got so anyways getting into the additional systems of this game of course Resident Evil wouldn't be Resident Evil without the resource management the crafting of course you have torch based environmental puzzles

Starting point is 00:13:41 a lot of boss face a lot of boss fights in this game. New game plus has insanity difficulty, and you come to realize, whenever you hop into Resident Evil Requiem, you will come to find out very quickly that Capcom did not want to waste any time getting you scared.

Starting point is 00:14:00 You guys. So as far as the pacing of this game, it's immaculent. One of the best pacing stories I've seen in a video game for quite some time. I mean, as soon as you hop into the game, it's like okay we're getting straight to the action and not in that type of way like they're cutting out the story basically they know how to evenly paste the story to where oh maybe if you're getting a little tired of grace but now they're switching to leon if you're getting a little tired of leon now they're switching to grace like the perfect timing of capcom and resident evil requiem hopefully they can keep replicating that for future installments of resident evil because i do believe not only from watching and myself garnering a lot of different opinions from major conglomerates and personal people playing the game i think this may be the best pacing resonant evil has

Starting point is 00:14:50 ever had and i've seen a lot of resonant evils so when you come to the storyline i think this is the one game where you could beat for beat copy it to movies and it would be immaculent now obviously certain scenes you may elongate but for the most part this is a movie in a making i mean they basically made a movie in video game format and still made a video game aspect fantastic. So yeah, I have high praise for this game, especially for my onlooker. Because once again, I'm not playing horror games because, you know, hey, I can't do it. Well, I can, but you know, it's a lot. So when it comes to Grace, interestingly enough, and like I said, well, I'm not getting the spoilers, but it's so much to talk about with this

Starting point is 00:15:30 specific game. When Grace was sent into her mission, let's just call it that, right? she was sent to her mission and let's just say the motive behind that the person who sent her and the person who's ahead of that department he needs to be fired man I was like I was like ain't no way somebody looked at the whole

Starting point is 00:15:55 itinerary basically looked at the snapshot of things that could happen to this individual based on her previous ties and he was like you know what this is the perfect person to send on this mission. I just don't like it, man. I just don't like it.

Starting point is 00:16:11 I just don't like that shit, man. I mean, that's kind of crazy. And Grace, you know, obviously, she wasn't for us. She agrees. So, you know, part of it is on her side. But, I mean, come on now. You shouldn't even approach to her with that mission. Anyways, talking about time, because, of course,

Starting point is 00:16:25 if you're a person who's employed, you definitely are aware of your time. The main story in this specific game takes about 10 to 11 hours. Now, of course, I heard of people being in two hours. I think those are the speed runners. who already played the game and know where everything's at. As far as the main story, I think about, not I think, from a lot of reports, it takes you around 10 to 11 hours.

Starting point is 00:16:47 As far as main plus side content, it takes you 13 to 14 hours. Now, of course, the completion is out there that want to go in every nook and cranny. You guys. And I pulled up my soundboard. But anyways, the completion is, it should take you 25 to 27 hours. to complete the game and it's significantly longer um compared to the resident evil for a remake as far as the campaign scale so uh well no actually is as comparable so i think when it comes to the d o c i think there's going to be d o for this game but maybe i'm miss speaking don't

Starting point is 00:17:25 don't quote me on that uh let me see yeah i don't know if there's d oc specifically for this game but when it comes to uh the actual analytics we already dove into that once again 1.7 million steam copies sold estimated to have $110 million in revenue on and that's just steam only not even to mention the best performing platform as what i've seen is uh play would they be in the most play game on playstation i think a lot of people are enjoying the graphics especially from the ps5 pro um when you look at capcom specifically of course they know how to make a resonant evil but it just seems like they took it to the next level with Resident Evil Requiem. I think I'm not going too much out on a limb to say that Resident Evil Requiem is probably one of the better games, if not the best story. Forget the gameplay.

Starting point is 00:18:17 It's probably one of the best stories they've ever told in Resident Evil franchise history. So that's a big deal. Getting into the split as far as the platform split and looking at the physical copies, PS5, I guess we don't have that because that doesn't have all of it that's just week one that's just the debut I don't want to get into the UK debut

Starting point is 00:18:37 like who cares you know what I'm saying my fault for anybody watching from the UK just know I care anyways so looking at the rest of this game of course when you look at any super blockbuster release for a video game

Starting point is 00:18:54 it's going to have spoilers and that was the same for Resident Evil Requiem the reason why I'm letting you know this right now because if you plan on playing this game you know avoiding spoilers is going to be pretty hard so either play it sooner rather than later or you may have to turn off the keywords for certain things as far as Leon as far as grace I'm just giving you a little hints so you don't run into any spoilers so anyways um looking at I think let me see so yeah Capcom already came out to 50% of the total game sales have came from PC so that's a significant accomplishment especially for PC gamers out there because we already already have already know that we're going through it with these ramp prices but really just everything in general but the ramp prices are increasing expeditiously only for all the companies to to take up all the the breathing there and the drinking water for for uh AI to make a a random outfit out of already made picture hopefully you get the point hopefully you get that analogy but if you don't know hey guess what

Starting point is 00:19:53 won't they do so getting back into the uh review roundup for this specific game just know that resident evil requiem has been very highly acclaimed that every major conglomerate has came out and gave it basically a perfect score as ign gave it a 90 out of a hundred saying quote like the result of an experiment conducted in the underground umbrella corporation lab resident evil requiem successfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into that one highly infectious new mutation okay okay that man was trying to write with that review okay that's what's up um game informer gave this a 97.5 out of a hundred what in the world where the point five come from anyways quote it is fantastic uh i ain't never seen this word before a revelatory not revolutionary

Starting point is 00:20:50 that's not what he put it's revelatory that's what's up man i don't know what that word mean actually let's look that though you know me one second Definitory definition. All right. I found it. That has to do some Mickey research right quick. Reveal something. Hit third to a unknown one in the world. All right. Anyways, that word is unnecessary. Not going to cap to you. A revelatory mix of terrifying survival horror and action that stops just short of being too over the top to dip back into the sentimental humanity of these seemingly everlasting characters. Requiem is Resident Evil at his finest. GameRand gave this 100 out of 100 saying, quote, GameRan's own review for Resident Evil Requiem saw the game being granted a perfect score,

Starting point is 00:21:43 with it dubbed a horror gaming masterpiece. Eurogamer gave it another perfect score, 100 out of 100. They said, quote, Capcom marks Resident Evil's 30th anniversary with a stellar return that's both a masterful bit of suffocating horror in a nostalgia. fan-thrilling victory lap for the legendary series. I'm not going to lie to y'all. Y'all look at the state of gaming. If you don't say this is cinema,

Starting point is 00:22:22 then I don't know what to tell you, man. You guys. See, that's the problem. I think it's apparent for me to say, Resident Evil Requiem is definitely a must-play in the year of 2026. That's if you enjoy horror, if you enjoy the horror genre or if you don't mind being scary let's just put like that because you know I can't do it you know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:22:45 Actually I could but you know it's... Woot they do and we beat Evo Woot Dinoo we beat them. We go for them. I prefer not to play scary games. I ain't going to capture you. So looking at Resident Evil from a bird's eye view, safe to say there's a lot of things we could dive into. We could be here for days because Resident Evil Requiem definitely deserves so many flowers.

Starting point is 00:23:02 It will be a candidate for a game of the year. By far in the way, it's probably the best story that came out in the year of 2026. I'm trying to think of any other games. Yeah, no, it's the best story of 2026 by far. Obviously, we're just three months in, but I'm just letting you know, as of right now, currently speaking, Resident Evil Requiem has the best story in the video game in the year of 2026. So, I think it was basically all I wanted to get into. Let me see.

Starting point is 00:23:30 As far as the, oh yeah, because I already talked about the Avengers team up that went sour. Like imagine the Russo Bros got Infinity War and in game and just completely just fumbled it. It made it like love like Thor, love and thunder quality. Like that's basically what Capcom did with their Resident Evil Death Island. It was just a lot of fan service, not too much story. So hopefully at some point they could make another Avengers like crossover and not make it trash. But you know, I thought that would be very easy for the star, study cast members that they've garnered over time. but I guess not. I guess it's harder than Capcom thought.

Starting point is 00:24:07 So not to end off on anything negative. I'm just letting you all know what's going on with the iconic characters, Resident Evil. And I'm trying to see anything else. We basically covered everything. You know what I'm saying? Wanted to put respect on Resident Evil's Requiem name, and hopefully I did just that. So with that being said, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know in one of my social medias.

Starting point is 00:24:31 What do you think about the Resident Evil franchise as a whole? And do you believe that Resident Evil not only is one of the better games in the Resident Evil franchise? Also, do you believe Resident Evil should be Game of the Year in 2026?
