I love SR series and hope HD version sells well.
However, I'm slightly upset previous versions weren't as popular in Europe and US as they deserved, and really hope this time it will be different.
There's something that some developers/publishers do these days - give free copies to popular game critics who then upload youtube recordings, which, in case of a good game, heat up public interest quite a lot.
For example,
this guy has over a million subscribers and does well in open world games.
All the best,
