Speaking to Eurogamer at Gamescom with regards to the forthcoming Shadows of the Damned remaster, Mikami discussed the topic of a new Dino Crisis game - it's the series most Capcom fans want to see make a return, according to a recent survey.

"I'm very surprised to hear that," said Mikami in relation to fans wanting more Dino Crisis. "The awesomeness of dinosaurs and the stuff you can do with dinosaurs, that's been kind of really nailed down by Monster Hunter in recent years.

"So even if I were to decide to make a remake or a new version of Dino Crisis, I don't really feel like there's a whole lot of space for that kind of game right now, just since Monster Hunter has become such a big game. But yeah, it is surprising.

When Capcom announced Exoprimal, its online dinosaur-inspired shooter, many fans jumped to Dino Crisis, only to be disappointed.

[TGO]

Not the same, not even close

 

[Hookshot]

They aren't the same in anyway. Imagine EA saying they won't make Madden because the Sims also has people in it.

 

[Toots]

That's supremely dumb both games are from different genres.

Let's keep the trend going :
"There's no place for Star Wars Outlaws when The Warriors exists"

 

[Mister Wolf]

Illogical comment.

 

[Punished Miku]

I wonder if he's heard of Exoprimal yet. I feel like Mikami lives in a cave sometimes.

 

[Kupfer]

Makes no sense.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Extremely weird comment. Mistranslation? Dino Crisis is not even in the same ballpark as Monster Hunter. It's not even in the same league. Hell, it's not even the same fucking sport.

 

[SyberWolf]

how about a crossover with RE and MH?

 

[adamsapple]

I love your work mikami, but that is a terrible comparison. That's like saying that you don't need dessert just because lunch exists

 

[Arachnid]

Horizon Zero Dawn exists, Mikami. It has more bleed over with MH than a Dino Crisis game, and it does well enough. Dumb statement.

 

[consoul]

I do see where he's coming from, but the fact that Capcom launched Exoprimal while still pushing Monster Hunter suggests they're not concerned about the dinosaur theme being played out.

 

[Hugare]

This explains a lot about Mikami's works being mediocre for more than a decade now

The guy is clueless

 

[Hrk69]

 

[SSfox]

How may games exists around war theme, or zombie theme?

Yup.

 

[abstract alien]

This has to be a mistranslation, because there is no logical reason anyone would say this.

 

[Team Andromeda]

Stupid comment, really .

 

[LordCBH]

But they aren’t in any way shape or form the same thing. At all.

 

[TheOmegaSpartan]

That's like saying there's no room for Dead Rising when we have Resident Evil. Even though we have that Dead Rising remake/remaster on the way, too. Dumb comparison.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

They aren't the same in anyway. Imagine EA saying they won't make Madden because the Sims also has people in it.

You don't even have to go that far. Just look at Madden and College Football 25....

 

[fart town usa]

Someone should make a RE3make mod. Zombies swapped to scrub dinos, and a raptor stalks you.

Myself, I never cared for Dino Crisis all that much. Give me an Onimusha reboot.

 

[The Cockatrice]

What the fuck did he smoke when he said that? Has to be a mistranslation, right? No way he's that fucking dumb?

 

[Lupin25]

BS. Dino Crysis is different.

When an IP like this goes dormant you might as well just say they don’t G.A.F.

 

[FoxMcChief]

 

[leizzra]

I think what he means is that games like Monster Hunter (action orientated) can make much more in the subject then survival horrors. You can do much more with dinosaurs there (but then again, are they doing it now?). It's also much better sales wise then Dino Crisis can ever be.

Saying that I still think that Dino Crisis can exist because MH won't go the scary rout. Also CEO's think differently so I guess Dino Crisis will happen some day.

 

[Edder1]

And yet he thought there was space for Ghoswire Tokyo? Lol, dude has no idea what gamers want.

 

[Esppiral]

There's no Space for Metal Gear when Super Mario Exists

I doesn't make sense right Miky? Well just like your message.

 

[Lokaum D+]

There is no space for bananas when eggs exists.

 

[daclynk]

but they had room for Exoprimal. SHHIIT!

 

[//DEVIL//]

is he back at capcom ? didnt he leave after RE4 or something ? ( don't follow what happens to him )

if he is not in capcom, why is he yapping about a dino game?

 

[Mownoc]

When the creator of Dino Crisis thinks his game is similar to Monster Hunter you have to question how he ever made a great game in the first place.

 

[Doom85]

Mikami might as well have said, “Dead Rising exists, so why should Resident Evil continue?” What the hell is this logic?

 

[Toots]

You don't even have to go that far. Just look at Madden and College Football 25....

The idea of the joke is that something anecdotal or contingent is used as the main argument for the reasoning.

Dino Crisis and Monster Hunter, while being completely different, both had dinosaurs in it.
Madden and the Sims, while being completely different, both had human beings in it.
Star Wars OUtlaws and The Warriors, while being completely different, both had this weird looking actor in. (i know mine is not really good but H Hookshot nailed it so good the first time with his Madden / Simss comparison, you can only do so much going afterwards...)

 

[Fake]

Is Monster Hunter a survive horror?

 

[Big Baller]

 

[GrayChild]

More like "there's no place for cheap RE knockoff with dinosaurs when RE exists". Dino Crisis was always overrated AF.

 

[kiphalfton]

how about a crossover with RE and MH?

Don't give Paul W.S. Anderson any more bad ideas.

 

[N30RYU]

No.

 

[Mephisto40]

 

[Kupfer]

Just ordered an Anbernic RG35XXSP for Dino Crisis on the go. I hope it runs smooth.

 

[killatopak]

I used to respect you Mikami

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Hey Mikami san

 

[DryvBy]

There's no room for Super Mario when The Last of Us exists.

See how stupid that is?

 

[ElFenomeno]

Mikami lost the plot.

 

[Madserb2023]

That makes no sense. There is no need for Resident Evil because Street Fighter exists.

 

[Madonis]

There's not enough room for Final Fantasy because Persona exists. Come on, man.

 

[SHA]

Sword and Shotgun, the difference is wild.

 

[Majukun]

is mikami becoming senile?

it's like saying, cake has no place on earth when pizza already did what was possible to do with flour.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

He's talking some shit.

 

[SHA]

Now the real talk why capcom games aren't being made, if it's age, not a problem, just look at fan made projects on YouTube, they know what they're doing, passionate, young, some of them being doing what they do for a decade, there's no excuse.
