知名遊戲分析機構Digital Foundry近期透露，其對《赤血沙漠》的玩家期待值判斷存在偏差，這款遊戲的熱度遠超該團隊預期，相關影片播放數據甚至大幅超越同期熱門遊戲內容。
Digital Foundry had no idea the level of expectation for Crimson Desert was that high: "The level of expectation and excitement for the game is something I haven't seen for a long, long time. Last week we put out 3 really good Resident Evil Requiem videos, all of which did really, really well for us. The very next day, Alex put out his video on Crimson Desert and in terms of view counts and excitement level, it was basically like a 2x multiplier on the best of what we'd done with RE Requiem. I knew it was going to be hot, right? But I had no idea the level of expectation for this game was that high."
Digital Foundry表示，他們完全沒料到《赤血沙漠》的玩家期待值會達到如此驚人的高度。該團隊坦言，這款遊戲所引發的期待感與熱度，是他們長久以來都未曾見過的。
作為參考，上周該機構發布了3條《惡靈古堡9：安魂曲》的優質相關影片，每一條的播放表現都十分出色。而就在這些影片發布的第二天，團隊成員Alex推出了他的《赤血沙漠》相關影片，僅播放量和玩家討論熱度兩項數據，就幾乎是《惡靈古堡9：安魂曲》系列影片中表現最佳者的2倍。
事實上，Digital Foundry團隊此前也清楚，《赤血沙漠》大概率會成為熱門。但他們著實沒有想到，玩家們對這款遊戲的期待值，竟然會高到這樣的地步。
