While it's true most RE games clock in on the shorter side, we DO need to hold devs to higher standards, or in this case, at least RE4. Apparently, a lot of the game was influenced by RE4 except one of the most exceptional parts: content. However, RE5 and RE6 were both quite a bit longer, as I think RE5 was about 14 hours, and RE6 was about 17 hours. You can look all this stuff up, though, lol Having said that, RE8 summarily comes in on the short side, even though there are shorter RE experiences. But this is 2021, we should expect our devs to be able to craft more detailed experiences considering the massively improved tech that is available. When a car went 0-60 in 6 seconds 30 years ago, that was "fast". Now, that's "slow". The times change, and one has to consider that many other games costing the same amount provide far longer experiences or offer much more content. The "not every game has to be long" rhetoric is mostly coming from Sony fanboys who are trying to justify Sony's push for $70 games. |
I actually prefer RE games to be on the shorter side. People have this obsession with long games but I would prefer some games to be shorter. Now there is an argument to be made for not charging $60 for these shorter games and that I think is more reasonable. $45 I think would be more reasonable. Honestly I always wait for a sale on RE games (except RE2 remake) so maybe that's why I'm more ok with it than others.
