Resident Evil Games Ranked: Shortest to Longest!

[@CLUMSY101]

RE6 was the most ambitious project they made. The story went WORLDWIDE,, bigger than ever. They (at least) DARE to do something DIFFERENT.

[@MarkCurtis-u6o]

Re6 was still a blast to play online with a buddy.

[@ReddeadMilla]

Re6 was the worst one

[@gmoneyfunk6974]

I’m probably that guy, but I love RE6. I thought it was fine having that many campaigns in the game where each one would interact with another. I also appreciated the power ups which lead to various replays just so that I can get unlimited ammo for each weapon.

[@FreneticPotato]

With the way the game was structured, I actually found it easier to unlock unlimited ammo on a lot of the guns. For some reason I can't really stomach how to unlock unli ammo in the other games, but I liked how they did it in 6.

[@frankkennedy6388]

If only enemies were more satisfying to kill. There wasn't any responsiveness when shooting them. I still don't get why Capcom didn't emphasize the Melee combat? It seems they wanted you to be more of a martial artist than a gunslinger.

[@Thee-Machine]

I ADORE re6

[@julyly1407]

It was actually really fun to play. I played it in order of Leon, Jake, Chris and then Ada and I really like how all the pieces connected in the end. Especially when I play as Ada. Mind blown

[@TrickyThe0ne]

I remember I got resident evil 3 remake and beat it so quick that a month later I launched the game because I couldn’t remember I beat it, got confused and checked my achievements then figured it out…

[@antsarazanamaharo6921]

In fact, I really liked RE6. I remember when I was young, I've spent all my days playing that games with my cousins. We've repeated it 5 times in 4 years

[@JAYDOG1337A]

It was actually my first Resident Evil, it was good enough to get me hooked on the series.

[@FreneticPotato]

@@JAYDOG1337A same. Played it with my brother all those years ago and did we have fun with it. Story got me to check out the rest of the series.

[@KateSuhrgirlPlays]

To me the shortest RE game is Dead Aim and the longest to me always felt like Code Veronica.

[@Arandomhumanintheworld]

Resident evil 1 remake got stuck for a long time plus forgot to pause so had just over 99 hours.

[@misterwolf3817]

Funny how the least appreciated RE title is also the longest.

[@Ben.SK2346]

6 is one of my favorite RE games... Never understood all the hate towards it.

[@FreneticPotato]

@@Ben.SK2346 It was hated for being too different from the rest of the series. Too much action, and not even a horror game if you ask people. But I appreciate it for what it is. Best co-op game, with probably the best gunplay of them all. Best powertrip fantasy if you were like young-me and wanted to suplex zombies just for the fun of it lol. One of the best bonding moments with my brother when we played this on split screen.

Re6 is a very good game. I think they succeeded in everything they were trying for, and made a game for a variety of audiences. It didn't deserve the hate it got.

[@elliesaint1984]

The original Resident Evil 2 would take 4 to 6 hours if you wanted to find everything but I used to speed run that game, my shortest play through was 40 minutes, after you've beaten it a couple of times and you know your way around it almost becomes a little too easy

[@handsomeorange198]

Ya cause it's kind of like a puzzle

Code veronica took me about 20 years to finish. I wasnt prepped well for the Tyrant, and started over. I got to the Chris part, and started over. Went to college, got a job, and beat it.

Heck yeah, finally got around to it!

[@MarkCurtis-u6o]

[@julyly1407]

ok you win😅😂

[@forresthunter1483]

Great idea for a video! A small quibble, if I may. If RE 6's four campaigns are utilized to obtain the average total play time, shouldn't the same be done with RE 2 1998 with one A and B scenario? Since they're essentially telling two halves of one story, the total play time to experience one full story set would be about 12 hours, then.

[@politicallyincorrect4452]

Exactly!!!

[@danielsilva-ds2u]

Yeah that wasn't very fair.

[@CharTangTheBeardedGamer]

Leon A takes what ... 1hr 25mins and Clair B about 1hr 40mins. I assumed that 6 hours was for all 4 scenarios 😂😂

[@CharTangTheBeardedGamer]

@@danielsilva-ds2u Leon A&B Clair A&B that's 4 by my count (then there's Hunk and Tofu so an arguement can be made for 6 scenarios but hey we won't get fussy today) and on first play through fair enough, like I said I assumed it was all 4, which with experience can be done well within 6 hours, so you can see why I would assume such.

[@frankkennedy6388]

RE6 was 30 Hours for me. But the "Michael Bayhem" of the game made it feel longer and very exhausting. I always thought RE5 was 20 hours like 4. Some KZbinr claimed every RE is short but based it on Speedrun Stats.

[@funmylife9248]

Yeah, I'm sure most games, if based on speedrunning stats, would be considered too short 🤣

[@shoff29]

RE 7 and 8 are easily the best for me. though i would take about an hour off of each game. I also really liked 2 and 3 remake, but would again take about an hour off of each one.

[@lightningcuber6572]

I’m 21 hours into resident evil 4, and still got a long way, what am I doing wrong

[@KateSuhrgirlPlays]

For some reason RE4 og felt longer than the remake because I can play through the campaign of RE4 remake multiple times in a row but with the og I felt like I could only play so much of it at one time before taking a break.

[@idith7403]

I used to play OG RE4 all the time and I didn’t realize actually how much of a slog some sections of the game are until coming back to it just recently. RE4R has a lot that you can just run through and has better pacing, so it can be shorter or longer than the OG depending on how you play it

[@habibpines]

RE6 is... Dumb but fun, like it's objectively bad, but it's entertaining to play, especially online.

[@MichaelJrCortes]

I don’t understand the misleading thumbnail, RE3 too long, RE 0 too short? Just to say something completely different in the video.

[@frankkennedy6388]

Clickbait

[@yamd8114]

fr

[@drc9374]

Thumbnails literally exist to get your attention. That's it. Re3 remake put in the "too long" category should've tipped you off on that. Unless you take everything seriously always.

[@MIKEy.-.]

It’s over exaggerate bc there not js gonna spoil the whole video on the thumbnail

[@marcioassuncao68]

I love these unusual lists

[@kyleisreal_tv]

I put in so many hours in CVX I got lost like 12x lmao and I had no ammo my first run. I had no restarts no backsteating so yeah I had a really really bad time with it my first go. But my second go was one of the best times ever in RE. I think I spent at least 21 hours in it on my first go. I also got lost a lot in RE1 remake my first go I think it took me 20 hours to beat it. RE4 OG took me a long time as well. I spent the most time in RE4make because I wanted to max out a lot of guns in my first run laughs

[@harrylopez5792]

Honestly, RE Remake should be considered longer due to its replay-ability. You have Invisible Enemy Mode, One Dangerous Zombie Mode, and Real Survivor Mode which changes the experience each time. Plus not to mention 8 different endings

[@meangravy9286]

This is such a dumb comment,that can be apply to every game 😂

[@shawnpray4631]

Took me 25 hours to beat the OG RE4. Playing through again on new game plus will be much faster, especially once I get the unlimited rocket launcher. Gotta love the replay-ability.

[@Particle_Ghost]

The Original or RE2 would probably be the shortest if none of the doors were locked, not to mention the puzzles and backtracking. Those 2 only have the illusion of being way longer than they are.

I’ve beat RE5 on 2 difficulties and playing thru on professional rn, with all the mercenaries I’ve played, desperate escape and lost in nightmares. I’ve only got 34 hours on it rn, that game shouldn’t take 12 hours unless you are trying to get all the treasure and BSAA emblems. You even unlock infinite rocket launcher ammo by beating it in under 5 hours.

[@ivan30ad1]

RE6 introducing Jake Muller as Weekers son is what killed that game. Worst story telling ever.

[@averykevin47]

I have a Resident Evil idea I would like to pitch to Capcom... You know how the prototype version of Resident Evil 2 that being 1.5 has received a massive fanbase amongst Resident Evil fans over the years? And many gamers have done modifications to that game despite the fact it was never actually released except for in Japan with the demo version? Of course the game did get leaked to the public in 2013 and gamers, Resident Evil fans and modders have going out of their way to recreating the game by working and fixing some of the bugs and patches and whatnot is still ongoing, with various patches being released... Anyhow, obviously the Elza Walker character got reworked on and transitioned into Claire Redfield but what if Capcom could capitalize on the Elza Walker characters since she has such a cult following and actually make her part of the franchise and keep her original story. If you're familiar with 1.5 which I'm sure you are is that Elza Walker who's already a resident of raccoon City arrives to discover that raccoon City in its entirety is now the sight of a zombie apocalypse and you know how she crashed into the RPD police station? Well keep that original idea but have it to where the police station that she crashes into what was going to be a newly developed police station for the RPD. And the zombies that she encounters in what is supposed to be newly developed police station are police officers, security guards, and construction workers turned into zombies due to the T-virus outbreak. And... While she's there she also discovers that at that newly developed police station that that's where Billy Cohen from Resident Evil 0 was being held prisoner. Say he eventually got apprehended by the RPD and Chief Irons ordered him to be held prisoner at the new police station and that would explain why it's heavily guarded with police and security. Not only that, but Rebecca Chambers herself disappeared after the events of Resident Evil 0 & 1. So perhaps to play it safe you could say Chief Irons could have issued an arrest warrant for Rebecca Chambers because she knew too much. Like the other stars members. So she too is being held prisoner at the newly developed police station along with Billy Cohen. Because nobody knows what happened to either one of them during the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3 and 4 and Code Veronica for that matter. And a reference that they can put into this game could be the fact that the police station itself is not 100% completed. Much like the prototype version of Resident Evil 2 that being 1.5 Yes, it's already been announced that Capcom is working on a ReRe remake for the 30th anniversary of the original resident evil.. like 20 years ago in 2016 they released an HD version of zero and the 2002 remake which was exclusive to the GameCube. Only this time it's going to have enhanced graphics with the re game engine that being third person over the shoulder. And yes code Veronica is definitely a must that deserves a remake Capcom keeps going back and forth with whether or not if they're going to remake that one or not because they haven't made up their mind. Hell maybe they can even bring back that scrapped Man spider b o w that you fight in the underground lab in 1.5

[@JAYDOG1337A]

I think my first RE4 Remake was was about 16 hours or so.

[@Minutix]

Personally think RE 8 could be longer, same for dlc because I played that in 4

[@KateSuhrgirlPlays]

I thought you were going by average play time of each campaign in each RE game as in not combining them. Like RE2 you say each one is about 6 hours or in RE1 remake 11 hours for each character yet in RE6 you go with total time for each campaign. If you did that for RE1 remake, it would be about a full days worth. RE6 for just 1 campaign is no where near 20+ hours.

[@EliteGameGuide]

In Re4 i spent 24 hours.

It's Resident Evil HD Remaster, not a remake. Recent rumors point to an actual remake of the first Resident Evil game, here's to hoping we'll get a confirmation announcement in August.

[@-locke-6051]

I swear people get this wrong on purpose to trigger us RE veterans. It's a remake, simple as that. Say it with me: IT'S. A. REMAKE. REmake is the best RE game ever and it's not even close.

[@castlemein5765]

@@-locke-6051 it literally says Resident Evil HD Remaster on the steam page and everywhere else, it uses the same locked camera formula, kept the very essence of the original, and only upgraded the graphics. As I've said, rumors are floating around that an actual remake of Resident Evil may be in the works, even Code Veronica. I'm holding out hope for August or on TGS for the announcement, pretty sure we're getting an announcement for RE9 and an REmake.

[@-locke-6051]

@castlemein5765 Yeah, it says HD Remaster on Steam because it is a remaster... OF A REMAKE. Resident Evil Remake improved on visuals (well, they did make totally new backgrounds and character models because that's what you do when remaking a game) versus the original, yeah, but saying that it was the only thing that was different, is bullshit. The remake added new areas, weapons, puzzles, story, lore, enemies and much more. It's a perfect video game remake. It added new stuff without removing anything important and kept the soul of the source material. Something that most remakes do not understand. I can't believe so many people still don't understand that original Resident Evil and Resident Evil Remake are two totally different products.

[@jamesd.c.4810]

Blud didn’t even know the original release of the remake but still yaps about how wrong he is. 😅 People are already correcting you, just accept and learn the correct things. If we use the logic you are presenting, Steam also just list the remakes of 2-4 without the word remake. Are they also not remakes? Is the Dead Space Remake also not a remake? It also retains most of the essence and mechanics of the original game. I’m not pedantic when it comes to differentiating things between remake, remaster, rerelease, and port since there are cases where lines are blurred when it comes to rigid evidence and definition. But if we use your logic, the only remade games in all of history are some Dragon Quest games and Final Fantasy VII since they’re the only once that actually put the word remake on their titles. Plus, you can just look this thing up on the internet and see how wrong you are.

[@castlemein5765]

@@jamesd.c.4810 or you can just say that I am wrong without being condescending. I stand corrected and actually did a research after I "yapped" about it as you say. I know how to accept when I'm wrong, don't worry, I was just presenting my case from what I knew, and what I knew was wrong. Guess that means if that RE1 rumor is true, it'll be a RE-REmake.
