Considering the new direction that Resident Evil 7 is taking from previous entries in the franchise, is this a good length for the next game?
Got that retro survival horror bug? Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best survival horror games from yesteryear.
Eternal Darkness was way ahead of its time especially for a Nintendo exclusive.
I would love to see a remake or sequel (multiplatform)
4 people love Eternal Darkness.
Quick! Jump on that remake, whoever holds the rights these days.
GameFlavor's Resident Evil First Aid Drink is making a comeback, offering high quality Resident Evil merch.
Games like Lethal Company end up scary because of their freeform nature, while Resident Evil's polish and storytelling ultimately make them rather tame in comparison. Agree or disagree?
Too many good games coming out on basically the same day. Dragon Quest 8 3DS, Gravity Rush 2, Digimon World Next Order, Resident Evil 7, Tales of Berseria and Yakuza Zero.
15 hours is a perfect number for time in this. That is just really an hour a day for a couple weeks. But that is clocked for the campaign. CAPCOM has hinted about many secrets and more that will take time to discover and probably become a huge threads on NEOGAF and Reddit as players learn and discover more things. (ie the RE7 Demo still has somethings no one has found yet according to CAPCOM) Also, take note that there is another 'Chapter' and ' four DLC short stories' in the Deluxe edition. (My guess is there will be 4 tapes with some back stand alone content. Maybe as you play them, they unlock things for the main game or just ass to the lore. And that this extra Chapter will be an Epilogue perhaps, or a new Character/Area/etc and a few more hours of fear. I dunno truly) but I think that way they are building this MetroidVania First Person Survival Horror Texas Chainsaw Luigi's Mansion-esk game is going to do us right in the end. Everything leads me to personally believe this will be 92-94 on the Metacritic, resounded by fans and actually restore some faith in CAPCOM. But I have been let down in the past. Here's to some faith in next weeks release.
Lol who cares?
This is actually the average time for a Resident Evil game in fact I would say it's slightly longer.
I normally beat the Resident Evil games around 10 to 12 hours, I would say that's actually sort of longer than normal as well.
15 hours is about average for a standard game and pretty long for horror.
Silent Hill 2, widely considered one of the greatest horror games ever made, only averaged around 8-9 hours. Resident Evil 2 averaged 6 to 8 and REmake averaged around 11.
This is closer to Resident Evil 4's length. A lot can be told in that amount of time, especially if that's just an average playthrough and doesn't account for 100% completion.
Horror games dont need to be too long. 15 hours is just perfect. Most of my alltime fav horror games take less than 10 h to finish.
