my god, is this 2h game or talk and game misc? lol capcom the madmen
Officially it's just Resident Evil Village, according to all their press releases.
Yes, and re0,1,remake,2,2 remake,3,4,5, and 7. They're all not that long when speedrunning.
And 2 hours seems like a lot, I really hope this is the title that brings back more single player extra modes like mercenaries.
This is good news. It means there's more than 2 hours of content in the entire game.
Unlike RE3.
Too much for me. Going to try to maintain blackout from here on.

Broadcast Schedule
For the record, not the whole two hours is for RE8, and the main presentations will be translated into English:
I feel like you're more likely to clear RE3make in that time over the others just because of the control scheme and quality of life features alone. Sure you can make good time in RE1 right up until you fail to turn a corner fast enough and a Hunter takes your head off. The games aren't particularly long but they make up for that in difficulty spent fighting enemies while also fighting the camera and controls unless you're insanely used to it. I watched someone who can clear classic RE2 in no time at all get bodied over and over in classic RE3
For anyone worried about length, I've heard its the longest RE Engine Resident Evil game, it'll be a bit longer than RE7. I specifically was told it'd be a "couple hours" longer than RE7, but play time is so subjective just the more accurate thing to say is it'll be a bit longer than RE7.
Definitely not true game is just as long as RE2 with one character both are 5-8 hour games depending on play style.
Although the controls would save you some time, the difference rest elsewhere. You can finish classic RE1-3 and the REmake 1 and 2 in under 2 hours. That's true enough. But it takes planning. It takes knowledge of puzzles and paths and enemies. You can't just brute force it. In REmake 3 you can, because the RE formula is barely there. You get a key and open a door and that's it. To finish it quickly all you have to do is run fast.
PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X, wonder which will be used for the demo. Either way I'm excited to see more.
Nice, I needed this, PS event trailer was so underwhelming.
To be fair, you can clear RE1, RE2, RE3, RE:CV, REmake, RE0, RE4, RE5, RE:Rev 1, RE:Rev 2, RE7 and RE2R in under 2 hours too.
That's kinda my point. You CAN finish the classics in that time, but you won't. You'll turn a corner and a hunter will take your head off and you haven't saved this entire time because you left the ink ribbons in the storage room and now your time's ruined. Old games countered short length with difficulty and punishment. RE3 (and RE2)make are pretty kind to you in comparison
Should probably bookend this by saying I like RE3make
Microsoft got RE7 for their thing last year so maybe the Series X? Granted I could also see the "captured by PC running series X" deal going on. Odds are this'll just be one massive dev diary. The whole thing ain't gonna be the gameplay. That'd be insane
I think they are very different pointsl. Even if you could instant reload the save after being killed by the hunter and go back to the same spot and just keep going, it wouldn't change what I said. It's not about dying or not dying, it's about strategy and the need to know the game's structure. Think of it this way: if you begin RE1 and not know which door to take, you're gonan waste a lot of time in the main hall. There is barely any analogue to this in REmake 3, you just push foward. The things you have to remember for a more speedy playthrough are minimal.
They obviously have a marketing deal with Sony for RE8.
