![]() If that is the case, then hopefully Resident Evil fans are pleased by this recent claim. While it is unlikely that Dusk Golem is referring to the completionist time, having a longer game (while still maintaining quality) is often perceived as giving players more for their money. Of these titles, the longest game (according to HowLongToBeat) is Devil May Cry 5, with a play time of 11 hours (and a completionist run of 65 hours). The games which currently run on the RE engine are Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3. With that, Dusk Golem claimed that “RE8 will be the longest RE Engine game to date, & without saying too much the other stuff coming up should follow a similar trend.” I ndustry insider Dusk Golem, who has previously reported on the Resident Evil series, in a recent discussion surrounding the potential increase in next-gen game pricing, revealed that “If you’re worried about really short RE games, you don’t need to,” saying “I have an ‘inkling’ about what RE games are in dev right now, I’m only talking about RE8 right now but people know RE4 is also coming up at this point.” ![]() While the most recent entry, Resident Evil 3, only took around 6 hours to beat, an insider has suggested that the next entry – Resident Evil VIII – will rectify this issue. While most agree that the recent entries in the series have been overall great titles, many have suffered from shorter-than-expected total play times. I just hope that Resident Evil Village is the jaw-dropping Game of the Year contender that it appears to be so far.The Resident Evil series is currently in an interesting position. The early materials we've seen for Resident Evil 8, including the "Maiden" demo, suggest this game will live up to the quality of what's come before. We don't know, as production cycle details aren't widely publicized in the gaming world (until something goes wrong, as with Cyberpunk 2077). Were I more optimistic about game development, I'd believe that the powers that be at Capcom would grow their development team size for such a task, or give them more time to finish the game. And if the game is longer, perhaps it's only a few extra hours. If we're lucky, Fabiano's referring to the scale of Resident Evil 8, and not the time it takes to finish. There'd better be more." The case for a shorter Resident Evil Then, I thought, "damn, those things are cool. At first, I wanted to erase it from existence, while hoping more weren't lurking around the corner (they were). ![]() When I first came across one, I had conflicting feelings. It's game design at its finest.Įven the Molded baddies, the nasty Venom lookalikes, were designed with exquisite care. And since I'm not especially great at these fights, I've spent a lot of time looking at every element of what's going on. The boss fights in Resident Evil 7, such as the unforgettable first fight in the prelude and the chainsaw duel in the pit, are practically perfect set pieces. On top of that, it's easy to see how Resident Evil 7's shorter time likely translates to less for the developers to build.This gives them the ability to focus on refining the game instead of expanding it. While both games are great, neither is a horror game (TLOU2 has horrifying sections, but it's half drama), and horror is a tough mood to sustain. 2018's God of War (21 hours for main story and 51 hours for completionists) and The Last of Us Part 2 (24 hours for main story, 40 hours for completionists) are more the norm. ![]() In the world of blockbuster video games, RE7 is on the shorter side. Similarly, every single scene in Resident Evil 7 feels necessary, without a moment of filler. Think about how a Netflix season rarely overstays its welcome. This makes sense for a horror title, where you're on a roller-coaster of suspense. How Long To Beat clocks Resident Evil 7 at about nine hours for the main story, and 22 hours for completionists. Why Resident Evil Village should be short A lot of sci-fi, horror and fantasy stories tell us too much about their mysterious characters, delivering unnecessary backstory and explanations. But if Resident Evil 8 is too long, I've got concerns we'll learn too much about Lady Dimitrescu.
