I missed the RE Engine part of the title when I firsted looked and was afraid they were making a game longer than RE6.

Dusk Golem: RE8 will be the longest RE Engine game to date, & other RE coming up should follow a similar trend
- Thread starter Biosnake
- Start date
I just hope it comes to pc vr this time, most likely will get one of those revisions of the quest so would suck if it doesn't support vr on pc :(
Considering how bumpy the back half of RE games can often be I'm not sure that I love this news.
Yeah thats what i mean, theres still that other project which he hasnt said has been cancelled, so its probably shaping into something else
If I had to guess we will likely get RE8 -> RE4R -> NuRE8 -> RE9 (this one completes the "Ethan" trilogy or w/e you wanna call it)
Maybe the NuRE8 will become Rev 3? haha.
If it has VR I would be surprised if they didn't support PCVR right out of the gate. I also still wouldn't be shocked if somewhere between now and RE8 launch RE7 PC gets a VR patch.
I don't want the game to be long and padded just to do it. I'd rather have a shorter, more focused and pleasant experience. I had personally thought RE7 had started to overstay its welcome towards the end.
I'm not mad at this!
the back half of RE7 wasnt as strong, but still love that game. if they go full CapGod they can make a great all around 15-20 hour game.

We dont need dusk coming in here and stating obvious that yes, things change in development... when it comes to RE, i trust Dusk 100%. He proved himself way too many times to have some people doubt him.
I've always wondered if the PSVR version of RE7 could run on a Quest? I ask because the visual fidelity for RE7 is lowered significantly when played on PSVR to maintain frame rate.
I do wonder what he means by that. Is there another rumored Sony event at some point?
STOP MAKING LONG GAMES.
But seriously, a RE game doesn't have to be long to be good or worth $60.

Yes, sometime in August.I read it as they're having that event around Gamescom, and that's why they're not inscribed there.
So Dusk is basically saying that based on his info RE8 and RE4 will both be long. That would be nice considering how butchered RE3R was in comparison to the original game.
My biggest hope for RE8 is the return of interesting non-humanoid monsters. Honestly that's been on of the most disappointing things about the series post 6 (which has been WAY better than Resident Evil 6 but when it comes to monster designs and variety, RE6 and Revelations 1 beats 7 by a long shot).
RE7's monsters were such a disappointment given the concept the established, most feeling like rehashes of old ones and the Remakes cutting many of the animal and non-humanoid monsters. It's a shame because their so much that hasn't been explored or can be expanded upon especially if this continues the

The E-Virus and the mold monsters.

Isn't the best thing about Resident Evil games that they don't fucking overstay their welcome? I mean even Resi 1 and 2 Remakes are a bit too long I would say. I really hope it's not bloated and is still fun to speedrun.
Shorter, more focused - Shorter, more focused - Shorter, more focused
should be the mantra tbh
and pathing variance so that speedruns are not all the same from day 1

Uh, no thanks.
RE7 was far longer than it needed to be, with whole sections that just weren't any good.
RE2 Remake: the sewers and labs were too drawn out.
RE3 was a great length without much in the way of filler. Don't listen to people upset that it "wasn't a faithful remake like RE2".
Pacing and quality is what matters, not length. Most games are too long and should have been edited down.

The length of RE3 wasn't the problem so much as it was how linear and shallow it was, compounded by its short length.
I hope RE8 isn't TOO long. 8-12 hours is honestly the sweet spot.

Oh yeah my bad. I skipped the "engine" part lol.
Sounds fine then.
Keep in mind that like a 10 hour game would still be larger than RE7/RE2R/RE3R. We're not necessarily talking about a 30-40 hour epic.
Length isn't an issue. REmake 3 being as long as it was isn't the problem. The problem is the fact it felt rushed and didn't remake huge chunks of the original. Then there is Nemesis who was turned into a useless, pathetic monster that can't do his job...
I am fearing Capcom took the wrong message from how the REmake 3 was recieved.
God damn it I feel frustrated as hell

I am happy with the news, but RE3 really deserved to be longer. This game really had the potential to be the best in the series. Capcom had a chance to let us finally explore Raccoon City and they blew it. Everyone wanted more Raccoon City streets in RE2R so I was shocked at how little of a section the streets were in R3make.
Started as RE8
Capcom wasn't sure if it was fit to be a mainline game but liked the concept so much it turned into REV3
RE9 was turned into RE8 but ran into problems
REV3 turned back into RE8 and got some changes
RE3 died because Capcom realized that Resistance is gonna bomb spectacularly if sold as a standalone release.
Length doesn't necessarily mean quality, but it doesn't hurt either. I'll admit fatigue set in in the latter portions of REVII, but that's not due to length, that's due to bland environments and a lack of the Baker family (Evie... was not a great antagonist). The game had essentially showed us everything cool by the halfway point (didn't even give us any new monsters for the endgame--and the Mold all blurred together). I think the Island in RE4 dragged, but at least we got Regeneardores. RE2 was well-paced, I thought--it's just 2nd run was a drag (honestly, should've just had the two scenarios, instead of two scenarios and "replay the game with a shittier handgun to fight the final boss" set of scenarios).
Didn't it "die" for the hypothetical RE4R though (to the extent one didn't like it)? Dev 1 helped out, but 3 was mainly a shakedown cruise for MTwo.
In a lot of ways, 6 was impressive. In a lot of other ways (or I guess the same ways), it was dumb as a sack of hammers. I liked the core mechanics of it, how it played. But a lot of the big setpieces sucked--any time a vehicle was involved was frustration, and the stealth segment with Ustanak in the caves was a garbagefire (not difficult, just... sucked).
