A Plague Tale Requiem Game Length to Be 15-18 Hours Long With "No Filler"

A Plague Tale fans hoping for a lengthy campaign in the long awaited sequel, The A Plague Tale Requiem game length has been revealed, and fans will be happy to know that Asobo Studio has upped the time to complete it over the first game, though not at the cost of packing it with unwanted […]

Wonderful to hear!

The original game was a thrilling journey, one that didn’t overstay its welcome, and offered me a little over 10 hours in total, which was certainly more than enough.
Knowing this sequel is offering a longer length, with no nonsense filler, that is music to my ears. Improved gameplay etc. with an even more engrossing story, that pulls at our hearts, as we see these characters we came to love from the first game older, wiser, come to know themselves and each other more, and meet a new cast of characters on this journey, which I no doubt believe will be every bit as thrilling as the first game, but darker and full of so much heart, I’m so ready…😊

Ubi should learn a thing or two from padding. I hate that collect-athon thing in games. It's just fluff.

Andrew336948d ago

Good thing you don't have to do it.

ClayRules2012948d ago

Agreed, unfortunately after all these years, it seems they’ve not learned that. I’m right there with you, I hate that nonsense too.

Eidolon948d ago

Ubi and companies a like think playable hours = value, the more the better. And while their worlds are generally well crafted, they still feel empty and not engrossing, chorey. I often prefer linear or more contained world games these days, just for the sake of my backlog perhaps, but even Halo Infinites open worldish attempt is so much better than Ubi's bang for buck style with microtransactions.

A thing or two? You mean like volumes!

@andrew
Except in odyssey you kinda have to unless you love grinding or pay up.

I still have to start Innocence. Have it on PS5, just been too busy playing other backlog games... looking forward to experiencing it and Requiem eventually

MadLad948d ago

The first one was great, and I legitimately believe they'll only build on that. Asobo is a great studio.

Elda948d ago

I couldn't get into the first. May try the sequel on GP next month.

Eidolon948d ago (Edited 948d ago )

I had a few gripes about it, but I'd put it at a solid "enjoyable, well crafted", or a solid 7. I don't know what it's trying to be, a stealth game, a puzzler, a combat driven. It did each okay when it came down to it, but most of the time it never felt "free", spaced too much by dialogue/forced interactions and segments with no real freedom, relying on the tools it just introduced or allowed by material availability scarcely spread throughout the area, when it seems obvious what it expects you to do when you want to do something else but can't. I would hope the sequel provides more freedom.

Elda948d ago

Possibly the reason I couldn't get into it..lol!

Nice... I just bought Evil West a couple months ago but never opened it. Now I won't have to. And i hear good things about Plague Tale.

crazyCoconuts488d ago

Plagues Tail Req is good. One of my favorite Dual Sense trigger effects on the slingshot.

--Onilink--488d ago

Nobody Saves the World is amazing too, SkillUp did a great review of it

Samonuske488d ago

On the same boat with evil west still have it unopened.

FinalFantasyFanatic487d ago (Edited 487d ago )

I already bought Evil West on PC just recently, I've owned Nobody Saves the World for a long time, I really loved the first Plague Tale game, I was waiting for it to hit $30 on Steam before I bought it.

Considering the games, this is one of the best months we've had in a while.

thorstein487d ago

I have every one of these on my wishlist. This is great!

I loved the first Plague Tale.

Better late, than never I guess.

andy85719d ago

This is impressive to be honest. Even very powerful PCs were struggling with this. I'd be interested to see what sacrifices it has. Probably resolution? I played it at 40 and it was fun, probably in the top 2 best looking games I've played. I bet it's a great experience at 60

LOGICWINS719d ago

Glad I waited. Will never support a game that doesn't have a performance mode.

CS7719d ago

I really wish I could understand the science behind how much I don’t care about performance mode.

60 to 30 makes no difference to me after two minutes of playing.

So strange to see that its a literal dealbreaker for most.

andy85719d ago

Your eyes do adapt a little but you never fully get rid of the feeling of the camera moving like sludge when panning the camera. At least I don't anyway. As a console player I was on 30 all the time but since the I got my PS5 I've played one game below 60 which was this game at 40. I tried it at 30 for a few hours (was lucky enough my 120hz TV was delivered the day after) and I really wasn't enjoying myself like I should be

JEECE719d ago

The feel and responsiveness of gameplay makes no difference to you?

Knushwood Butt719d ago

The big shock is going from 60 to 30.

I recently went from Far Cry 5 at 60fps, to Far Cry New Dawn at 30fps, and no joke, when first playing New Dawn it felt like the game was totally broken. I did get used to it after about 10 mins, but at first it's a night and day difference.

mkis007719d ago (Edited 719d ago )

I mean you literally see less per second. On average someone playing at a higher fps would perform better in an fps.

Personally playing jedi fallen order and now survivor at 60fps is way easier on harder difficulties. You need to block and dodge at a moments notice, having those extra frames is a built in handicap.

CobraKai718d ago

Same here. It all becomes the same to me. As long as 30 fps is, for the most part, stable, I’m good.

Babadook7718d ago (Edited 718d ago )

“I really wish I could understand the science behind how much I don’t care about performance mode.”

Motion smoothing on your TV perhaps? I would always disable it even if it shows more judder. But it will make 30 fps look mostly smooth.

philm87718d ago

Just depends on the type of game for me. Can quite happily play this type of game at 30FPS.

Obscure_Observer719d ago

It´s time to revisit Amicia and Hugo.

jznrpg719d ago

I still haven’t played this yet . Sounds like a good time now maybe this summer
