first play through maybe 8 if you get stuck on puzzles or backtrack alotPeople saying that RE2 is 5-7 hours are kidding themselves. The game is almost 8,5 hours for the average player.

For me it was 9 hours and 12 minutes. Howlongtobeat has more than 1500 hours for RE2 so I think it's probably close to the real average playtime.
i recall it taking roughly 6:45 for my first time with Leon 1 and 4:25 with Clair 2 i am also a veteran of that type of game so many saying 6 or so hours seems on par for me. especially if we do not have a gimmick section aka Ada/Sherry like 2

I don't mean to come off as an 'elitist', but in my experience the average timings for How Long to Beat are always way longer than my experiences.
RE2 was 5~ hours for me the very first time with the full on exploring and subsequent playthroughs were naturally much shorter.
I honestly cannot believe the overreaction of this place when it comes to reviews
Oh wait, no. I fucking can.
Oh wait, no. I fucking can.
Oh, I definitely won't be skipping. I just won't be hopping in at $60.
$30-$40? Game on.
yeah my first playthrough of RE2 was around 5 or 6 hours, with subsequent runs getting that down to around 80 minutes.
The length is disappointing, but the game is a must have for me after RE2. I liked the gameplay refinements (played the demo, couldn't resist). They're both obviously aiming for two different things.
I'll definitely end up purchasing the game eventually, it just might not be at launch. Close to $90 is a lot for a game right now, especially for a month as loaded as this one. If it had a bit more content to justify the price (I don't care about Resistance at all) it'd be different, but since this doesn't seem to be the case, I'm debating holding back for now until a price-drop (or two) happens.
Wow, this was unexpected. I thought with the success of RE2, they'd improve upon it, not the opposite.
I hate to be that guy but at 6 hours I think I'll wait for a sale.
I say this fully acknowledgibg that remake 2 was my game of the year

Considering the insanely short development time I knew something was fishy
I read the low Review, People seem expect too much.
Also, Since When 80 is bad? Even for AAA?
This was made alongside with RE2.

Resident Evil 3 Remake Was Planned For A While, Says Capcom
It appears Resident Evil 3 remake was in the cards as far back as Resident Evil 2 remake's confirmation.
I got that number from Game Explains video review, where they said their first run of the game took 4 hours and 20 minutes.
Damn, now I've got to somehow sabotage the FFVIIr reviews.
I'm a little concerned about how short this game is, but I'm ok with it if the MP is good and takes off.

I'm not sure people are expecting too much by thinking that a remake shouldn't cut large sections of the original game.
I looked at most of the reviews and I found something odd.
Half of them are saying that it doesn't have much replayability while the other half says that it's higly replayable.
What ?

If I knew it was going to be compared up uncharted in terms of being linear/pacing I wouldn't have pre-ordered this...
An 8/10 from me:
what, is this real? Like, for someone who is playing for the first time the game ??
I would consider a short game that is fun to play "highly replayable", even if it doesn't have a lot of unlockables and the like. Other people might be more strict and not see the point.
I suppose it depends on what people expect out of a game to consider it replayable.
To me, all a game needs to have high replayability is to be good and to not waste too much of my time with bullshit like pointless slow walking. I don't need any incentives by the game itself, I replay things for fun, not for completionism.
So what I'm getting from this divide is that the game's design likely goes well with repeated playthroughs, but there aren't enough unlockables like you'd expect from a Resident Evil game, like costumes, weapons and such. I never cared about that part, other than costumes, always replayed RE because I like the games and I enjoy replaying them, so I'll likely fall on the camp that finds RE3 highly replayable.
It was.No it wasn't

From the article you posted.
"Fabiano explained that RE3 was in active development for three years, and had some overlap with RE2's development. In fact, what the RE2 team was doing with Mr. X helped inform the RE3 team's work on Nemesis, the towering tyrant-like pursuer pursuing Jill in that game."
Edit: Unless you were talking about the same team developing it.

Isn't that almost as long as 2 had, though? Greenlit in Aug. 2015 so likely started active development late 2015, releases in Jan. 2019.
That's barely over 3 years and that article says RE3 was in active dev for 3 years as well.
I'm expecting to probably get 15-20 hours at least out of RE3, but I'm the type that loves replaying the hell out of these games for faster times
Damn, I'm so sad to hear they kept the scope so small... I was legitimately hoping for a whole Raccoon City to explore. That makes knowing they cut the branching narrative an even worse decision.
I'm unable to play games for about a year due to working abroad, so I'd be waiting to experience this game regardless, but it's still disappointing to hear.

I've put more than 10 hours into the demo. I'm expecting this game to be have more replay value than RE2 for me at least.
If it doesn't sell? Nope. It may be a joke to think it won't sell, is that what you mean? I don't know how well RE2 remake did. So, I guess?
The only thing I truly wanted from this Remake was for them to actually make RE3 have a good story and from everything I've seen and read, it looks like it did just that.
Original RE3 was abysmal story-wise, despite having lots of potential with the extended cast. I'm glad that they fixed that.

That was post-release DLC, to be fair. The game only shipped with Hunk and multiple Tofu survivors.
I'd like to see actual campaign content, personally.
No, I think I was kind of just wrong here To be honest.
Still, it seems like the end result may have had less care and attention and was perhaps more of an after thought/expansion to 2 rather than a full blown effort on the level of 2.
I dunno. I remember them saying around the time of 2's release something to the effect of 'remake 3 is possible, we are considering it' so I guess they were just lying lmao
Shit I thought the game will review higher and I voted for FFVII in the metascore avatar bet thread hoping to lose the bet...l
In the preview wave, it was stated as a decision to make a more definitive narrative. I think it was a budget/time issue. Why does Capcom feel like they need to skimp so much on content!?
