If rumors are true, then Resident Evil 7's story modes is indeed only ten hours long. But that's actually for the best, and here's why.

10 hours is short? Geez.. I remember beating Call of Duty Ghosts in like 3-4 hours..

Can I handle 10 hours in VR? :P

GtR35olution3418d ago

Wow, 10 hours is considered short when a lot of games can be finished in under 5 hours. I cant wait to buy resident evil 7

DarXyde3417d ago

Definitely. That's how I got the rocket launcher in the first one. Beat it just under two hours and thirty minutes.

Babadook73417d ago

Short? I heard 10 hrs?!

NukaCola3417d ago

These articles are utter trash.

Uncharted is 15 Hours but there is a Speed Run mode for under 6.

This is the longest RE game by many many leaks and previews. If you can beat it in 10 cool. I will be much longer than that.

Aren't RE0-4/CodeV all 4-5 hours max? I see speed runs online

Yui_Suzumiya3417d ago

Code Veronica is about 15 to 20 hours.. I got about 12 hours in but couldn't finish it.. 4 is about 10 to 12 hours.. now the first 3 games can all be beat within a few hours :3

DemonChicken3417d ago (Edited 3417d ago )

Guess the extra hours is in the season pass ..... sounds like typical capcom.

Older RE (i.e. remaster) was about the same but with difference is characters play throughs - Jill and Chris

ZombieGamerMan3417d ago

Yeah not every game is The Witcher 3 where you you need to quite your job, break up with your girlfriend and write yourself for dead when sitting down to play it. Either that or this guy really needed to justify his salary

Irishguy953417d ago

10 hours is short. 3-6 hours is pathetically short. For some reason over the last gen it became acceptable to have short games.

Neonridr3415d ago

I guess it depends on the type of game. 10 hours would be short for an open world RPG or something like that for sure. But as far as typical AAA games go nowadays 10+ hours is definitely adequate.

RE 6 was long and everyone "claimed" to hate it.

Everytime a story based game is released, we have to endure the rumors of X finishing the game in only X hours, and that time is almost always way off. Not all of us like to rush thru sp games, and no, dying numerous time doesn't prove he didn't rush thru it

DashArrivals3417d ago

Plus some gamers like to play games on harder difficulty like myself. Doing it that way adds way more time to the overall first play through.

Sm30003416d ago

Haha yep, I thought I was the only one that does that.
Always at least one step above normal difficulty

Ten hours is perfect for a horror game. The worst part about Alien: Isolation was how it kept throwing more gameplay at you every time it hit a logical conclusion point. By the end, it was a total chore to finish and I just wanted it to end and I'll never play it again, no matter how much I had fun with the first ten hours or so. Shorter games encourage replayability. Not every game needs to be The Witcher 3 or Skyrim.

NukaCola3417d ago

Agree.

Until Dawn, The Order, Uncharted, Inside, Last Guardian,... etc

Sometimes it is nice to play a story and finish it. I love Witcher, Fallout, Assassin's Creed, The Witness etc, but not every game needs to be 40-400 hours.

joethetimelord3417d ago

Reminder that Silent Hill 2 was typically finished anywhere from 8 to 10 hours and is considered a survival horror masterpiece. Horror games that actually focus on scaring you the way RE7 seems to be doing tend to feel a lot longer than they actually are.

BlakHavoc3417d ago

I don't mind this game beeing somewhere between 10-15 hours long. That's actually reasonably long to me for this type of game, and not every experience needs to be 40+ hours. Usually after a game that length I like to play 2-3 shorter games, so resi 7 should do just fine. Assuming I get it over Yakuza 0.

REDGUM3417d ago (Edited 3417d ago )

A short game. 10hrs? Really!
Wasn't Titanfall 2 or 3hrs long? ( just what i read) what does the author of this article call that then??

Apparently Battlefield 1 was 6-7hrs long. I tell you now i took me 20 odd on hard difficulty coz i only play for 2hrs or so in my spare time. I kid you not, it took me 5hrs ontop of that to get one of the codex codes. The one where you have to shoot down 10 planes in 30 seconds.... agggghhhhhh.

Length of games are over rated. They are as long as you make/play them!

Review - Resident Evil 7 Biohazard (Switch 2) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Leo Faria: "It’s been nearly ten years, but Resident Evil 7 hasn’t aged a day. Its brand new Switch 2 port not only showcases that its gameplay is still fresh and tense after all these years, but also showcases how well Nintendo’s portable can handle some of the more demanding games from the previous generation, with a handful of improvements to make it look as good as its current-gen counterparts. There’s also the fact there’s a ton of extra content for you to enjoy, from videos to entire new modes and side campaigns, so this is a worthy inclusion to the Switch 2’s currently minute library, and a great excuse for you to replay one of the most important horror games released in recent memory."

they look great. Solid ports.

repsahj127d ago

Hoping for a small Direct for these games. Especially RE9.

repsahj127d ago

The village graphics is insane!

repsahj127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

Smooth gameplay already! So excited for my Generation Pack pre-order. I already platinum RE7 on PS5, but I don't have the chance to play Village.

By the way, the RE7 and RE8 included in Generation Pack are both the Gold Editions.
