RE7 Replayability different characters?

[Lightning]

Does RE7 have multiple replayabilites with different characters like the other ones do?

[Dwayne]

I think not. I liked the game but for me the replayability is very low.

[Lightning]

Oh, so its about the same playthrough with just different character perspectives?

[Dwayne]

As far as I know, there is only 1 playable character. So just 1 perspective as you name it.

[Lightning]

Oh ok, from online guides it seemed they allowed you to play more than just 1 character since the other RE's allowed you to play multiple female/male characters guess its not the same anymore?

[Dwayne]

Oh right, forgot. There is a chapter indeed in the story in which you have to choose a certain character, and that character is playable then a bit later in that chapter. But it's not like earlier RE games where you can play the whole game from another perspective.

[Lightning]

Ah, so it just bounces back and forth between the characters seems pretty neat, any idea how long it took people to finish it? 20-30 hours?

[Dwayne]

20-30 hours? No, not at all. It's a short game. A lot of people did it in 10 hours or less, but I doubt how much they have taken in of the game. Me myself, I did it in 14, but then again, I'm kind of slow.

[Lightning]

Wow, pretty short probably best to wait till later then and hopefully the dlcs add alot more gameplay to it.

I will say after you beat the game you do unlock a mode called madhouse which does offer more replayability. Certain monsters are in different locations, slightly different scares, more items, practically no auto saves, and you need casettes (kind of like ink ribbons) to save your game. It's also harder, you take very few hits, etc. Fewer healing items and fewer ammo as well. I also personally found the DLC really good.

You play as one character through most of the game but as certain points you'll play as other characters as well. Anyway, there's no difference which character you're playing as since the game is in first person and none of them have any particular skill either, so whoever you play as feels exactly the same.

Ah ok, surprising it has such good reviews but its also very short compared to the other RE's and you can't see the person your playing.

Actually most of the resident evils are the same length.

Hm, probably but I guess I considered them longer cause of replayability with different characters throughout the whole game for each playthrough not sure, guess I can't really judge that yet since I never bought RE7.

Just really wish it would've been a character select for different playthroughs but I guess that would be to weird for only one house the entire game

Whoever told you that it's just one house the entire game was plain wrong. There are other locations as well.

banned footage vol1&2 DLC have several minigames (I think maybe six, including a card game) and a prologue minichapter. Some are a challenge and you are not ethan in most of them...
the main game only has the madhouse difficulty (hardmode) and some unlockables tied to achievements like finishing the game in madhouse, in under 4 hours, without healing more than 3 times, without opening the storage chest more than 3 times and finding bobblehead collectables. like in every other RE game
