And that is why they made the multiplayer Resistance game to bundle with it.

I never played RE3 when it came out, is it really only half as long as RE2?

The original was about as long as the original RE2. That doesn't bode well if the remake is gonna be shorter...

Edit: Oh, the article is just speculating. And it was counting all the playthroughs in OG RE2 as one.

That article is saying its half as long because theres only one playable character. But 95% of RE2 is the same for both Leon and Claire. And the original RE3 had some branching story paths, so that will provide replay value if they keep it.

RE3 was about as long as RE2 but it didnt have 2 scenarios, instead you made minor choices as Jill throughout the game

Honesty I dont mind it being short. Short and good beats long and dull.

RE2make was short and great

RE2 had the multiple scenarios, but they were largely the same. stil a run through the (original) A and B canon stories would probably take ~8-9hours together. RE3 only had one scenario, but it was about 6-7hours and included a number of random item placements, alternate puzzle solutions and alternate scenario choices which hightened the replay value. a second run atleast is pretty highly recommended.
