The best way to replay OG Dino Crisis 1 on PC right now is Classic Rebirth which lets you run the PC version at 4K and replaces the CG files with higher quality versions.

[SHA]

The only resident evil franchise that isn't resident evil.

 

[Killer8]

I thought it was better than Resident Evil. Dinosaurs were more ferocious than zombies, puzzles more hardcore and the map design felt more intricate. Also had the advantage of riding the wave of Jurassic Park mania in the 90s.

Best save room music Capcom ever did too:

 

[violence]

This was a cool game. Back in the day, the youth was way more interested in dinosaurs. I wonder if it was demystified by Jurassic Park.

 

[Bond007]

Preferred this over RE back in the day.
For a long time growing up - was top 5 game for me.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I do wonder if they'll have some Dino Crisis related announcement for the Capcom Next showcase which is scheduled for later today.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Let the past keep it.

 

[Roni]

I mean, a remaster for current gen and PC would at least show the fans they're listening and be a good gauge for a remake investment.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

I feel like Dino Crisis was Shinji Mikami and the gang nailing his game design personality flawlessly.
If you like that or not, that's another story, because the game is quite challenging. More challenging then RE 2 and 3 combined, arguably.

But it's VERY much a Shinji Mikami game, for better or worse, depending on what you like.

Some people tend to call DC a copy and paste of RE but with Dinosaurs, but I feel like this is like saying that King of Fighters is a copy and paste of Street Fighter, but with team-based fights.

The flow of both of them is very much not the same.
And if you think you can deal with the Dinos in the same way you dealt with the Zombies, a rude awakening is coming for you.

I agree, the game design for Dino Crisis is much deeper and the puzzles are also better. If they're ever going to remake this, they need to keep that in mind: turning this into RE3/4 would be a huge mistake. Leave that for DC2...

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Great music and atmosphere. I had a fun time playing it but this game isn't about shooting dinosaurs which I guess why they went hard with that idea in the second one.

 

[joeygreco1985]

I bet in an alternative timeline Dino Crisis would have taken off to be a juggernaut instead of Resident Evil

 

[Holammer]

Not a fan, it's one of those games people my age elevate because we grew up with or enjoyed the games in the past. Like Twisted Metal or Parasite Eve for example. Developer thinks there's a big demand for the title because of a nostalgia fueled loudmouth minority and the sales end up disappointing.

Your post makes no sense. Demand because of nostalgia fueled loudmouths? There hasn't been a new DC game in 2 decades, nor is there one coming soon, lol.

Let the fans have their day of remembrance.

I always felt like it was the first sequel to resident evil 1 like evil wothin was the true sequel to re4

I'm talking old properties in general and the discourse surrounding them. Dino Crisis was the #1 most wanted game in a recent Capcom survey for example, that's not representative of Capcom's current customers. That's the old loudmouths gaming the system on social media and forums.
Megaman games sell poorly, but its still #2.

Onimusha 3 Remake is what I want. They better get on it before they have to recast should either of the actors pass on.

 

[R6Rider]

I need a remake.

 

[Unknown?]

Too bad they made stupid decisions on the third one. Xbox killed the franchise but it would have not had any creative juices for a fourth judging by the third.

 

[Reaseru]

My precious.

Last seen wandering in the void of space...

Yeah they becoming annoying.
Those are those "rent and forget gamers"or "complete and refund"
They don't care about a game they've already played and bitch about Remakes or Remasters and want new IP's
They claim the games was never that good and it's just nostalgia until a studio actually remakes the game and blows every modern release out the water in every department.
Then they're angry about that too.
Just ignore.

On Topic, Loved Dino Crisis
Not that much of a fan of Dino Crisis 2

Actually, I don't think that would work for DC 2 either.

DC 2 feels like a straight up arcade game at times. It's a weird game. It's great, but I have no idea what formula they would use to Remake that one.

Anyway, I agree! I hope they understand the things that set DC and RE apart when they Remake it.

Well, DC2 really was RE4 before RE4 took the world by storm. But I'd be down for them remaking it more like a Survival Horror game. Won't hear me say no to more Survival Horror!

 

[Punished Miku]

I just want them to relist Dino Crisis 3.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Let the past keep it.

Get out of my house

 

[FoxMcChief]

Get out of my house

Surprise surprise, Old Man Chuck Berry living in the past with his PS1 games. Get with the times grandpa.

 

[Big Baller]

Dead Rising getting its second remaster and DC still left in the dark lol.

 

[anthony2690]

I genuinely hope Dino Crises 1&2 get the re remake treatment.

And then make a brand new dino crises 3 and pretend the original one doesn't exist

 

[Punished Miku]

Dead Rising getting its second remaster and DC still left in the dark lol.

Didn't even get a costume in Exoprimal.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Didn't even get a costume in Exoprimal.

 

[hemo memo]

You know what else released on July 1st?
Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Stinked then.
Stinks now.
A real stinker.
Did I mention it stinks?

 

[MacReady13]

loudmouth minority and the sales end up disappointing.

Much like devs listening to the woke folk who would NEVER buy the games they fight to have changed to what they want...

Anyway, please give us at least a remaster of the trilogy Capcom... PLEASE!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Dino Crisis 3: Spirit within

Or at least the movie was in fashion and they took reference.


And I always wanted to play this game, I had Xbox.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

That game was awesome, I finished it like 4 times on PC.


Dino Crisis one was good, but it had too much Puzzle, but I liked that futuristic atmosphere.

 

[WorldHero]

I wonder why Capcom has never pursued a remaster or remake?

 

[The Stig]

This was a cool game. Back in the day, the youth was way more interested in dinosaurs. I wonder if it was the mystified by Jurassic Park.

100% I was big into dinosaurs (still am, really) and these 2 games were super awesome to me. In fact I jokingly referred to the RE1-3 games as "poor man's Dino Crisis!"

Plz dont kill me lol

 

[Phobos Base]

Just remake it already. I know there's that new JP game coming out, but it seems odd that despite how popular dinosaurs have always been, there's been so few games or films that tap into how terrifying they actually are.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

The decision not to remake 1 and 2 continues to baffle me.

Resident Evil is starting to get a bit stale.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Too bad they made stupid decisions on the third one. Xbox killed the franchise but it would have not had any creative juices for a fourth judging by the third.

What happened with the third one and how did xbox kill the franchise? I've never really followed the games.

 

[Variahunter]

Resident Evil is starting to get a bit stale.

Why not both ?

I mean, I still want RE1 remake (the GOAT), Code Veronica (never played it), and RE0 remake (the one that needs it the most to erase its many faults).

Dino Crisis 1 & 2, if remade as survival horrors like RE2, would be great !

Definitely should be both.

A secondary survival horror series like Dino Crisis would give the RE teams time to cook and much needed breaks between entries.

 

[Disco Dave]

We were spoiled for choice on PS1. I preferred Resident Evil over Dino Crisis purely for aesthetic reasons; the atmospheric sense of claustrophobia and dread of the creaking old mansion was fantastic.

Personally, Parasite Eve 2 is the best action horror game on PS1.

Dino Crisis 3

More than 500 years in the future, you and your partners embark on a search-and-rescue mission to piece together a spacecraft's mysterious reappearance after a 300-year absence. Armed with hyperspeed booster units and an arsenal of futuristic weaponry, you'll confront ferocious space mutations...

Zoinks Scoob!

I totally remember this game bombing and being slaughtered in reviews.

 

[Unknown?]

They made it in space and exclusive to Xbox when the fans were on PS1. Stupid setting and extremely poor choice of console.

Is that also the one with the fucked up camera?

 

[adamsapple]

Is that also the one with the fucked up camera?

It's the one with fucked up everything. Bad camera, bad controls, nonsensical plot, extremely terrible characters, no real connection or resolution to DC2's plot and ending etc etc etc.

No idea who was smoking what at Capcom when they greenlit it.

-

Anyway, in positive things. DC1's PC version looks pretty decent with Classic Rebirth, even supports wide-screen (but can sometimes show geometry you're not meant to see)

Dino crisis is stinky.
Stinky, not tasty...

 

[NeverYouMind]

I finished the second game recently. I like the gameplay a lot except the lack of quick turn and weird targeting fails on pterodactyls. The story is a mess though. The continuity in time travel is busted and the cliffhanger ending is a major blue balls moment. Still a better game than the original Dino Crisis in my opinion. A rerelease with new game plus retaining the unlockable weapons and gear would be cool.
