I guess 15 hours should be just fine.

Would be great if it was 20 hours, but I'll bet it will be about as long as TLoU, 10-12 hours.

For an uncharted game, even 15 hours seems too long

20 hours, at least. but hey, depending on the time of my gaming plays, it takes me about 4-6 days of beating a game and when it comes to ND games, it takes me 2/3 days.

I loved that Sony commercial back in the day where a dude had a girlfriend that thought Uncharted was a movie and kept making him play it. How lucky right?

If anyone can find that clip would be great for a laugh.

Damn. Even Order: 1886 4 hours was way brutal. Thank goodness it wasn't 5 hours or I may never finish that game just in a nick of time to return it to Redbox.

I was thinking 10-12 hours, actually. It'd lose a lot of momentum and pacing if it went as long as 20 hours.

Huh? Literally no Uncharted campaign ever has been 5 hours.

The first Uncharted game has an average campaign time of 8.5 hours, and a speedrun time of 5 hours and 17 minutes.

Uncharted 2 had an 11 hour long campaign, and a speedrun time of 6 hours and 34 minutes.

Uncharted 3 had a 9 hour long campaign, and speedrunning it takes 6 hours at the very least.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss has a 10 hour long campaign, and it takes 8 hours if you rush through the game.

Literally no Uncharted game takes just 5 hours to beat- even the shortest Uncharted game takes more than 5 hours to beat on a speedrun. Stop pulling shit out of your ass.

I played uncharted 3 for around 42 hours, so maybe just under that.

Sorry, bro, numbers prove you wrong here. The shortest Uncharted game is 1.25 times longer than Halo 5's campaign :(

A game can be short and worth it if it's fulfilling non-stop action back to back, Vanquish was a great example of this. If it's going to be a game broken up into cinematic moments, set piece moments, QTE moments, action gameplay sections, puzzles, probably needs to be extended to around 15-20 hours, that's a nice sweet spot. If it's linear it can be shorter but if it's open in a Metroidvania fashion like Tomb Raider with collectibles then it needs to be longer for to accommodate people who just blow through games and completionists alike. Like many games, it can probably get by with a subpar campaign if the multiplayer kicks ass, but a game like this should (I'd hope) be one that can be widely celebrated just for the single player campaign by itself, MP should just be the icing on the cake.

Regardless, more the merrier so 25+ please, in actual gameplay though, don't pad it out heavily with walk sections and cinematics just to say it's longer than it is.

Anywhere in the 10-15 range is sufficient for me. I spend most of my time in UC in the adventure, horde, and PvP modes anyway and anticipate this will be no different.

Obviously hoping for 20+ but being realistic it's 10-12h tops.

It'll be about 10-12 hours long, 15 if you want to explore, find treasure clues, search for treasure. It's also going to have more replay value than past Uncharted games since it has multiple paths, whether you want more action or more adventure.

People are being ridiculous with the length. If you want an Uncharted style game that takes 20+ hours then it needs like 8+ years of development with a 200+ million budget. This isn't an RPG with reused assets, backtracking, fetch quests, and running around doing nothing.

10-12 is good for this type of game. 15 is too long. I'm more worried about the quality of the time, not the quantity.

Those are way too long for something like Uncharted. I'm happy with somewhere around 8-10 hours, extra for collectibles/higher difficulties.

The same as the first 3, so about 6-9 hours of a generic summer block buster esque story with no replay value. But at least will be able to indulge in laggy P2P multiplayer at 900p with Microtransactions

What is the ratio of meaningful gameplay to pointless gameplay? I think that's the bigger question. Uncharted 2 was riddled with cinematic walking type "gameplay" and brain-dead sections in which AI either played half the game for you or tell you exactly what to do.

Let the stupid Pikminmaniac posts begin!

~12 hours seem appropriate. It's been in development for a while. I was going to say fifteen but the script and all was redone so that could impact the length of the game.

@charizard1605: might want to define what you men by a speedrun though. Fastest possible, or fastest on average for a decent player, because if you just go on YouTube and search "Uncharted Speedrun ", you'll see the 3rd one takes the longest at 2.5 hours, with the first one doable under 1 hour. I'd link you but I'm on mobile and I trust you can do a simple YouTube search to verify.

Now, I know no one is judging the length of a game by its Speedrun time, but I think clarification is in order (seeing as there is a 4 hour difference between your cited Speedruns, and YouTube documented ones), especially when using those claims to make someone else look like a fool.

It would be lucky to even be 10 hours. Uncharted has never had long stories to make sure the pacing is right.
