Resident Evil 2 Game Completion Screens Show 5 Hours of Playtime For a Single Character

While Resident Evil 2 offers a great replay value and multiple difficulty modes, it might not be that long if you play on normal difficulty and already know most of the puzzles.

Damn that sucks, I was hoping they got rid of this zapping crap and made it into one big seamless story.

[RosweeSon]

33 saves in 5 hours shiiiii haha

[boldscot]

Most likely easy mode and automatic checkpoint saves.

[RosweeSon]

Probably ;) you’d sure hope so as that's pretty much once every 10 mins otherwise haha

[Samonuske]

Resident evil 2 was not a long game, this remake not being much longer shouldn’t surprise anyone, it’s going back to the basics of adding replay value. Plus it’s the perfect length to finish it so I can focus on Kingdom hearts 3 in its entirety

[InKnight7s]

Same here KH3 is the game that I am willing to spend all my time with and get the platinium for. This like going to one if The Conjuring movies while waiting the next Avengers.

[Muzikguy]

If I did that with movies I'd actually enjoy the Conjuring more. This remake may not be that hard of a game to platinum. I did it for 7 and the remake of 1. Will definitely check it out

REmake on gamecube is an 8 hour game that ive put probably 100+ hours in. Replayability is king.

[DemoIishor]

I agree with this and I also think it's an unhealthy trend that gamers demand long games. A game should be as long as it needs to be. Not more or less. It can really tarnish the game when it's long and drawn out more than it needs to be. Alien: Isolation, for example, is one of the best horror games I've ever played, but it's really hampered by the middle section, which felt unnecessary and unhelpfully long.

This is not a big deal. The original game also for me only showed 6 hours the first time but in reality it was much longer because it never took into account how many times you died to restart again. Also in the original, if you knew what u were doing you could complete the game in less than 2 hours but that was after spending 50 or so hours to know exactly where everything was in the game. Same theory can be applied to every rest game.

[Elimin8]

I just hope they have infinite ammo RL, HC etc for after beating it.. 'shamelessly grins"

[bigmalky]

Nothing wrong with a game that has a ten hour campaign, along with replayable value by switching characters. There's also Hunk and Tofu and the other game mode.

No idea why every game has to be a complete time sink these days. There's far too many overblown open world games that just get sat back on shelves for the backlog.

[sprinterboy]

Agreed, I'm 43, anything over 30 odd hours and I don't even buy it anymore tbh. A few exceptions obviously like hzd and assassins creed.
Not enough hours in the day when your a adult.

[notachance]

yeah, especially if you have newborn baby like me.
I'd rather play a 10-12 hours quality title than some 80+ hours repetitive bullshit.

[Vits]

To be fair, most Resident Evil games do top at 10 hours for the main campaign. With more 10 or so hours for doing 100%. The big exception was RE6.

[RosweeSon]

Yeah they all like that first time round just done Resi 7 about 10/11 hours second time it was under 4 for the trophy (few collectibles on the side ;) haha) Resi 1 you had to complete under 2 and half hours think it was for rocket launcher. Resi 2 actually put me off I loved the game I didn’t like going for S rank getting to tyrant and dying 1 hit kill 🤬🤬🤬
28529;😂 no saves either decided never again? Until they’ve gone remade it, looks incredible can’t wait

[DerekFlint007]

It will most probably take me a lot longer, but the gameplay in the demo alone, to me, was more thrilling, fun & rewarding fighting the zombies, than my tedious and arduous month long slog fest, trying to get through Red Dead 2 fighting the controls.

[IRetrouk]

Still have to go through both characters twice to get the full story, then there's the tofu and hunk content, then the new mode they talked about in the dlc too, well worth the 30 quid if you ask me.

[Gatsu]

Well it is a remake... The original could be finished in less than 3hours, so this shouldn't be surprising.

[nucky64]

anymore, it seems like every big release has to have this type of story prior to launch.

[Artemidorus]

The endings are very basic.

[Kosic]

Didn't they say it would take roughly 10 hours per character?
The demo took me 19mins to complete and I was brisk walking it. I'll pick this up when it's under £20, instead.

[AK91]

This is the same thing with all platinum games titles, the game only tracks actual gameplay not cutscenes, loading screens etc. This won’t stop it from being an fulfilling product.

Also what’s with Game Journo’s? They were recently claiming games were too long but now they’re too short? Jesus have some consistency.
