...'with lots of replay value'

Confirmed by David Cage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bQ3F1wE2c0&t=2m42s

Interesting how this time he encourages people to play it more than once. Seems like he's changed his mind compared to the Heavy Rain days

 

[Nibel]

O - This is a great length for these kinds of games
X - Fuck this. Way too short, pre-order cancelled

 

[Primethius]

Sounds pretty good. If the level of replayability shown for the Connor demo holds throughout, that would be pretty fantastic.

 

[Blablurn]

I'm okay with this.

Good reply, Nibel

 

[LiK]

Sounds reasonable. HR felt lengthy and I never actually played all the branching paths. Really excited to play this. The E3 trailer was sweet.

 

[Eggbok]

Hope a photomode gets added but it probably won't happen.

 

[neurosyphilis]

That's fine. Love these Single player story driven cinematic experiences that Sony makes. The best type of games in my opinion.

[FelipeMGM]

I think it took me more than 10 hours to finish HR. Then again I prob wasted too much time wandering in Ethan's house lol

 

[Freeman]

Gimme a date.

 

[Elitist1945]

Sounds good to me. Beyond was around 9 hours for me and that felt just right.

 

[IvanJ]

Perfect length. Similar to Until Dawn as well. And with replayability with all the branching paths, we will definitely get our money's worth.

I'm OK with this. I probably won't pay full price, but that's only because I rarely buy games right after they're released, not because of the length or anything. I'm not much into the dollars-divided-by-hours thing and using math to figure out if I should objectively enjoy something based on numbers. It's about the experience, yo!

L2 for Sexbang.

Why not?

Gimme a date.

The only official date so far is "not this year"

I use the same system and someone on GAF almost called me a weirdo ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[sjay1994]

I find the fact he says the game is highly replay able odd, considering he used to tell people not to replay his games.

 

[eFKac]

Will try to do it in 2, max 3 sittings.

 

[w0s]

Sounds good to me. Can't wait!!!

 

[wapplew]

Everthing sound like the game closer to release than I thought.
Q1 2017?

 

[speedomodel]

I remain cautiously optimistic.

 

[Caronte]

It was hard not to stop at certain places and admire all the details. Visually it was really impressive for the time.

 

[Zedark]

Seeing as there are so many branching paths and therefore so much replayability, this seems like a very generous length.

 

[jmaine_ph]

So we could be seeing this game early 2017.

 

[eFKac]

Q1 2017?

Expexting a release window more akin to B2S, September-October 2017.

 

[Zombie James]

Combined with the replayability the comes with this sort of game, that's a pretty good length.

 

[Fermbiz]

...

I'm ok with this!

 

[wapplew]

Talk about replayability, I always want these kind of games make your first play through decision ripple into new game plus.

 

[Vashetti]

Both Heavy Rain and Beyond took me a lot longer.

 

[Reedirect]

That's pretty good. Only QD game that could have been shorter was Beyond, but that was mostly because I felt totally disconnected from its shitty story.

 

[astroturfing]

perfect, definite buy then. i only have time for a few massive games like Witcher or Fallout per year. it's good that there are games you can finish in a week. no need to make it artificially longer with pointless fetch quests etc.

-astroturfing

 

[geomon]

Goood, goooood.

 

[rockman zx]

Perfectly fine, this is a game people will play 2-3 times minimum to get the most of it.

 

[Syntsui]

That's the perfect lenght for this kind of game.

 

[down 2 orth]

It's all good if the game is as awesome as the trailer looked.

 

[Clear]

O - This is a great length for these kinds of games
X - Fuck this. Way too short, pre-order cancelled

Hmmm... Japanese controls

-astroturfing

Yeah. Firewatch felt even shorter (I think it took me 7-9 hours to beat) but any longer would have been superfluous.

 

[Raylan]

Awesome!

Day 1 for sure.

 

[GavinUK86]

That seems fine. It's not like I expected it to be 20+ hours anyway. Not every game needs to take a year to finish.

 

[LifEndz]

I'm in for the guaranteed android human sex scene. Awwwwwww yeah. Gigolo Joe is up in here.

 

[valkillmore]

That's the perfect lenght for this kind of game.

Really? I've never played one of this type of games but that seems woefully short. I'm happy to be wrong. Are there at least multiple endings?

 

[Certinty]

Good enough for me. Heavy Rain and Beyond were of a good length.

 

[Spring Drive]

Really? I've never played one of this type of games but that seems woefully short. I'm happy to be wrong. Are there at least multiple endings?

That's like, the whole point of the game: you are the co-writer

The first scene alone has six different endings:

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Multiple endings,differnt ways to experience the story. So on

 

[Fitts]

Please make this as close as possible to your other games, David. Don't let anyone ever tell you "no." Deliver us the purest, rawest, most entertaining

Spoiler

ly stupid

David Cage experience yet.

Super hyped!

 

[Filthy Casual]

Will not buy at full price then

 

[wapplew]

Will driod shower scene reveal itself?

 

[yanipheonu]

Length is fine. Honestly, making a game of this type too long might overstay its welcome.
I can only hope the plot is good, and they resist Cage's urge to devolve into some schlocky fight in an underwater Chinese Ghost Base. He really doesn't need that crutch, it does more harm than good.

 

[NastyBook]

Sounds good to me.

 

[BadWolf]

Good, those two games were of a good length.

 

[StereoVsn]

Will get it when it drops below $30 like I have done with every David Cage game. They all have been decent games for me but I don't see paying full price.

 

[Chris Metal]

If Shaun is a character it could go on for even longer.

 

[Dominator]

Perfectly reasonable with the amount of different choices seemingly on display. Can't wait for this, Heavy Rain is a top PS3 game for me.
