Resident Evil: Revelations tops UK Chart – Gaming news
Capcom’s survival-horror video game Resident Evil: Revelations has resurfaced to top spot in the UK charts following the recent release of its console port.
The game, also known as Biohazard Revelations, was originally released for the 3DS in the first quarter of 2012.
However, an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and PC version of the game was recently released, which pushed the game to the top spot on the UK Chart.
The production and development team behind the Resident Evil franchise will surely be feeling a bit relaxed after a long time, as the survival-horror series has not been getting a positive feedback from the fans since a long time now.
With the second title in the Resident Evil franchise raising the bar too high, the subsequent titles failed to live up to the expectations of the fans and therefore the series began to rapidly lose its popularity.
The release of Resident Evil 6 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the final quarter of 2012 failed to give the brand the much-needed lift, thus adding to the troubles of the publisher and developer.
However, a strong position on the UK Chart will definitely give the company its confidence back and give it the motivation and encouragement to keep working on delivering what the fans expect from it.
Judging from the negative reaction and complaints that the company had to cope with over the last few years, they would surely feel much better now that they know that respect for the Resident Evil franchise still exists out there.
While Resident Evil: Revelations topped the UK Chart, FIFA 13 saw an improvement in its position, moving to the No. 2 spot.
Sitting on top last week, Metro: Last Light dropped down to third place this week, while Dead Island: Riptide sat at fourth.
The fifth spot was occupied by Donkey Kong Country Returns for the 3DS, whereas Assassin’s Creed III continued to maintain its place in the top 10 on the UK Chart, sitting on the sixth spot.
Tomb Raider and Far Cry 3 sat on the seventh and eighth place on the UK Charts, whereas Luigi’s Mansion 2 occupied the ninth spot.
Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins rounded out the Top 10 this week.
