A lot of Resident Evil fans were disappointed by how short Resident Evil 3 Remake actually was. However, it appears that the upcoming Resident Evil games will be longer than that. According to Capcom insider Dusk Golem, Resident Evil 8: Village will be the longest RE Engine game to date.
(2/2) in dev right now, I'm only talking about RE8 right now but people know RE4 is also coming up at this point. RE8 will be the longest RE Engine game to date, & without saying too much the other stuff coming up should follow a similar trend.

Since Resident Evil 4 Remake has also been leaked, Dusk Golem suggests that this remake will be also longer than RE3R. Which, to be honest, makes perfect sense as the original RE4 was longer than the original RE3.
Dusk Golem had previously successfully leaked details for Resident Evil Village, such as its darker theme and its disturbing enemy designs.
Resident Evil 8 will be cross-gen, meaning that it will hit both current-gen and next-gen platforms. It will feature a first-person perspective and most of the themes from the previous leaks will be present. You can find the previous Resident Evil 8 leaks here and here.
Do note that Dusk Golem’s track record is not 100% accurate. In June 2020, he claimed that Capcom had cancelled the current-gen versions of Resident Evil Village. However, the previous Resident Evil Ambassador playtest was on the PS4Pro.
Rumors also suggested that Capcom would show a new trailer for Resident Evil Village in August 2020. With Sony’s event out of the way, the only upcoming digital event for which this may happen is Gamescom 2020.

“Capcom had cancelled the current-gen versions of Resident Evil Village”
Even if it was running on a ps4pro for ambassador, isn’t it still technically true because they cancelled the current gen versions which will not come out, and only next gen will?
Makes me wonder how well the game will scale up in terms of graphics, RE games are never CPU heavy and way more GPU bound but they typically run great on weaker GPU’s heck a 750Ti can play RE2 remake and still look pretty darn good while doing it.
Even gt 1030 can run it but in low blurry setting
” RE3 is longer than a DLC piece & did include Resistance,”
expansions were longer than re3, but now dlc can be from 45 minutes to 2 hours to 5 hours if its a rpg.
Also saying “we hired another studio to make a throwaway mp mode” doesnt justify the money or make a good argument. Its a waste of money. Might as well justify some sort of survival mode, speaking of which mercenaries mode in re3 would be better than resistance. Oh and RE3 was also made by a “throwaway team”
sigh.
I wish resident evil would never focus on more then 1 player ever again. I’d even pay them money to do it.
So sick an tired of $1 being wasted on research on games that are more scary playing alone.
What happen to Horror in games?
That’s not even true.
Resistance was a really, really, really, really, really bad attempt to re-introduce multiplayer with a 4v1 asymmetrical trash mode, when RE already had a great multiplayer mode – Outbreak 1 and 2.
But they were stupid instead.
What pains me even more on top is that Resistance could have been great, something like Zombie Master Source, but instead they just made that throwaway garbage.
Even longer than RE6? RE6 proves that a “long” game doesn’t necessarily mean a beautiful one!
No.
They said longest RE Engine game.
RE6 was made with MT Framework, just like 4 and 5 and Rev1 and Rev2.
That said RE6 had good graphics and in many parts looked really, really good, mostly China. But it was the worst RE game ever. Even worse than RE3 remake.
Can’t believe they had the decency to even charge full price for RE3: Remake. I bought it $20 cheaper and still felt ripped off. 5Hour game and part of it takes place at the exact same racoon city police station from RE2. Worst purchase of the year!
Capcom figured they’d take a page out of Activision’s playbook. Make a half a**ed, short, single player campaign, and hope the multiplayer would catch on and people would either not notice, or not care about how bad the single player was.
Capcom bet on people being stupid. Given the state of this industry, and the state of humanity, I can’t say I blame them for giving it a shot. You tried, you failed. Now, let’s see how you respond.
P. S. Stop going after the COD crowd. This is the third time now that it’s blown up in your face. Give it up already.
Hope there will be VR support for PC version this time around.
RE3 wasn’t disappointing because of “length”.
It was short because they omitted over half the game.
