Resident Evil Village Playtime Revealed, Reportedly Longer Than 7 and 2

Resident Evil Village copies are out in the wild and some players have already beaten the game and completed it giving us a rough playtime.

[CrimsonWing69]

Sure, but then there’s a challenge in-game to beat it in 3 hours.

[RosweeSon]

Typical Resi been that way since the first one and expected nothing less 😜✌🏻🤣

[DarXyde]

Always fun.

I was able to do it on the PS1, but I also did it on GameCube in about 25 minutes!

....but on the GameCube, to get that ridiculously low time, you can stop the game's timer by playing with the disc door open. Totally not fair, but I already proved to myself I could do it before. :0)

[roadkillers]

RE7 took people on average 12 or so hours. I was able to beat it within 2hrs because of prior knowledge and a buzzsaw. The unlockables make the games fun to speedrun.

Didn't RE2 or RE4 unlock rocket launcher with unlimited rockets after completion?

[mgszelda1]

Why would you want prior knowledge? It kills the fun.

[roadkillers]

Prior knowledge is from beating it on normal difficulty twice. You start to figure out shortcuts.

[Highrevz]

Around 15 hours for a first play on standard difficulty. There’s a lot of spoilers going around so be carful to avoid.

Resident evil 7 was popular for speed running so no doubt this will be loved for that.

[RosweeSon]

All the Resi games are good to speed run eventually once you know the puzzles and skip all the notes etc.

I'm on complete social media blackout for RE8 until I purchase it myself next weekend 😁

[nickanasty206]

RE games always have so much re-playability. Unfortunately i always only have time for one play through these days as life gets busier. 15 hours of play is plenty of time in my eyes, especially considering the games are usually so intense that its a relief when you finish.

[philm87]

Yeah I was kind of relieved when RE7 finished, but massively enjoyed it at the same time. Seems strange to say. Maybe it's cos I found myself just playing short amounts of time each session? I was going to play Alien Isolation, but that seems really long for this type of game.

[jukins]

I'm gonna get this but I have a feeling i won't finish after playing re7 in vr

[StoneyYoshi]

Was that out of fear or nausea?

I tried playing it in VR on my friends base PS4 and got sick. Thats the only VR game I've ever gotten sick from. Every other VR game I Play on my PS4Pro has given me no issues also with my HTC Vive on PC.

Did you by any chance play it on a Base PS4? Im thinking that could be why it got me sick. Not as stable of a framerate like on PS4Pro?

[Lexreborn2]

I played it all the way through on PS4 pro in VR. I actually don’t know what the flat version is like in comparison as I only played it in VR and never got sick.

[StoneyYoshi]

Ah i misread your comment... my bad lol.

[Rambokind]

Some dope beat the game in several hours. So? The honor some people give themselves is kinda sad.

[Tacoboto]

Huh?

Play-time is a very relevant thing... especially for single-player games

[philm87]

It's just info for how long the game is, not showing off cos they beat it quickly.

[Vithar]

i always take my time on first playthrough to exlplore and read all the notes etcetc, then speedrun the next runs. Im ok with the time, i usually take way longer haha

[RosweeSon]

I don’t wanna rush it but I also don’t want it spoiled so think I’ll be smashing as much as I can the weekend it comes out. Get mercenaries unlocked but yeah I’ll be taking my time reading the notes etc. Love a Resi Game this one looks brilliant,
