15 hours long, thank god. Leave the useless filler bullshit at the door. Tight pacing is basically a lost art these days.

 

[Ristifer]

CAPGOD strikes again. I'll happily take a 12-15 hour game, which will be more like 20 hours for me. Throw in the fact that I have children, and this game will take me 6 months to finish. So, I'm good with it.

 

[Sub_Level]

Can't even break 90, game confirmed as irredeemable dogshit. The developers need to publicly apologize NOW.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Well, big discount in a couple of months it is then.

C'mon, they need to introduce new characters. She is white and seems capable, can't be that bad.

So what is the verdict? How much do you play with the chick compared to leon?

Spoiler

They have somewhat of a split but leaning towards Leon. Leon has all the bombastic moments, majority of bosses, and dominates the story with Grace taking a back seat for the last 5 hours.

 

[Nankatsu]

Yeah, physical edition just sold out around here and I didn't pick a copy.

Gonna have to be extra careful in the upcoming days to not get spoiled.

But game is looking really good review wise.

Seeing a couple of reviews complaining about too much Leon/action and not enough Grace/horror. Leaning 2/3 Leon vs 1/3 Grace, it seems.

 

[Roman Empire]

I said 87 and I think the score may get lowered from 89/90 on consoles by 1 or 2 points.

From what I saw on some reviews, the plot is highly non-sensical like most RE games, and it doesn't hit some of the highs of RE2 or RE4 Remakes.

Nvidia domination, surprising i thought Capcom titles do quite better on RDNA and consoles

Could it be that they liked grace sections so much that they just wanted more even if the split is 50\50?

"He's not eating it, Jack!" Lol like that?

This whole waiting game has me missing the weirdness of VII. This appears to be a much more rooted RE.

 

[Moses85]

More lies from the usual crowd...

Consoles:

*Can also recoup most of the money if sold afterwards.

PC (if purchased legally direct from Steam):

*Stuck at Gabe's Yacht even if the game is never touched again.

Anyone know if there's some switch 2 reviews with good things to say about it vs ps5 ?

 

[GymWolf]

Don't care, outlast-y sections gave me pubic lices.

Make a new game if you want that shit being almost half of the campaign.

That's a shame, if the case.

Not a long wait to find out now.

RE4Re was supposedly 15+ hours long and yet it took me about 30+ to finish it on hard on my 1st playthrough.

These short playing times mentioned are either : A) people that rush through games on easy or normal and B) in-game clock not counting reloaded sections/deaths/attempts etc etc.

Heck, people said that RE3 Remake was 5 hours long and yet, it took me about 12 hours to finish (in game clock showed less though).

Same with Cronos the new dawn, took me about 25 hours on my 1st playthrough on hard (another game which was supposedly very short).

People should always take media talking about duration with a grain of salt.

The unskilled activists have a limited time to finish games and write their review, they don't play like normal gamers.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Aka "French, but with a funny accent".

It's the France's french that is the funny accent. Quebec's french is closer to the original roots pre-revolution. France diverted big time. Now when I hear a man from France speak I can't help but imagine they are gay. It's so fucking weakass sounding.

My review (9/10) with lots of 4K screenshots and RT Vs PT comparison: https://www.pcmrace.com/2026/02/25/resident-evil-requiem-review-pc/

Great review, and now i'm moist, most excited i've been for a resi evil game for years

 

[L*][*N*K]

It is the highest new Resident Evil since the original 4, this weekend WE FEAST!

 

[viveks86]

Could it be that they liked grace sections so much that they just wanted more even if the split is 50\50?

Possible. But they did say it was 50/50 for the first half and the second half is dominated by Leon as it gets pretty action heavy.

I guess I'm fine with that. It does make sense to ramp up pacing as the story progresses

These short playing times mentioned are either : A) people that rush through games on easy or normal and B) in-game clock not counting reloaded sections/deaths/attempts etc etc.

Skillup confirmed this. Actual clock time was close to 15 hours, but game showed 10.5.

Count me back in

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yes she'll be a nice supporting character in Leon Kennedy's game.

He aight.
