Meanwhile Marathon’s server slam is down by more than 50% from yesterday, dropping from ~150k to ~55k.
“Dont worry, its a Thursday, just wait until the weekend.”
Nah bro, it dropped to its lowest concurrent player count on a Friday. That bodes horrendously badly for its future. And I mean, good. Its a skinwalker anyway (though I really love the artstyle, Graphic Brutalism has always been a favorite of mine since it started popping up in the late 2000s, its not a Marathon game, and my love of its art style isnt enough to carry it alone).
The last 10 years or so, there was a sort of “Old RE” and “New RE” set of fans. The new games have really kept their distance from existing lore, and the gameplay has been very different from the older games.
This is the first new Resident Evil game in a long time that promises to bring the old lore back to the forefront, as well as merging the two styles of game.
And it was the best Resident Evil for a very long time. Honestly, being the best can cut both ways. I’ve avoided buying remakes for some of my favorite games because “I’ve already played the campaign 5 times, am I really gonna pay $60 to play it a 6th?”

Still kind of shocking that this many people played Marathon. I would’ve even been shocked if 55k players tuned in initially
It is a free demo, so its not that crazy. Will be interesting to see the number when people have to buy the game.
Resident Evil 4 remake peaked at 168k players. Does anybody know why this one is so much more famous? It’s almost double the count.

I’m one of them!
Well…kinda. I have zero interest in Resident Evil outside of Raccoon City, and I’m a very recent player.
RE4 onwards just took things to a location and direction I have no interest in, so seeing this one take me ‘back’…I’m in!
They made Leon hotter by asking women on the dev team for feedback on his design, thus crafting the Ultimate Hot Leon, or something.
Also, more people buying and playing video games now compared to the past.
They brought Leon back.
They might have advertised this one better, though I can’t prove that beyond vibes.
That would be nuts to me, I just heard of this new RE game this week!
Remakes will never be as popular as new games.
No, but Resident Evil 4 Remake was definitely an upgrade for the original game, unlike others “remakes” that only change the button interface.
And it was the best Resident Evil for a very long time. Honestly, being the best can cut both ways. I’ve avoided buying remakes for some of my favorite games because “I’ve already played the campaign 5 times, am I really gonna pay $60 to play it a 6th?”
I used it for comparison because it had an even bigger peak than resident evil 8 (which is 106k).
Really excited to watch someone else play it 😅
