Could RE2's success fastrack a Dino Crisis Remake?
- Thread starter Toriko
- Start date
It's a shame the best dinosaur games can basically be counted on one hand.
- Dino Crisis
- Dino Crisis 2
- PJ's King Kong
- Turok 2008
- Jurassic: The Hunted
Dude, they remastered Onimusha before a hint of a breath of anything Dino Crisis. It's dead Jim.
It will be a precedent for more RE remakes imo.
At first I thought that Jaw was the one who made the thread.
lol

I think it'd be hard to do a remake for Dino Crisis for the simple fact of how the franchise changes so drastically between iterations. I know that this isn't ideal for Capcom but if they're going to remake DC1 and DC2, they should release it as 2 game value-pack deal and sell it for $60. I think gamers will see the value in this and it'll in turn become the best selling DC sku to have been released thus far.
I'd like to see Onimusha receive a sequel based upon the initial 3 games rather than a remake. Considering that the Onimusha remaster releases today, it seems like a misstep to release a remaster and then remakes of the subsequent games so remaster those as well and just give us a sequel in the next gen along with DC that overwrites the events of the original DC3. Give us a Lost Planet sequel as well with a survival-horror and action direction too.

Holy shit, probably because it was Xbox only? (wondered why I'd never played this one)
It reviewed pretty badly too, the camera came under huge criticism.
IGN review: "Finishing the game should earn you t-shirt that reads, "I survived Dino Crisis 3 and all I got was The Worst Camera Ever".
They missed their chance when Jurassic World was announced. People were excited about Dinosaurs again. I don't even want a remake. I just want them to make the old games available in new consoles/systems/pc.
While it hasn't gotten a remaster of any kind yet. It has been getting used in smaller amounts lately. So it's at least not as unused as say powerstone as of late.
Dino Crisis never settling on one thing is actually to its benefit when it returns. You don't have a fan base that's expecting a certain style of game. As long as you have Dinosaurs and Regina you're effectively able to do anything with the IP as long as it fits a general action/adventure or survival horror theme.
CV and Zero aren't worth remaking so yes please jump right on Dino Crisis after RE3
Very true! Lots of good directions they could go and people would be happy

I don't see the connection at all. Yeah, similar play styles, but I don't think Capcom connects the two in their business thinking.
Also, and no offense to Jawmuncher lol, Dino Crisis has super dated branding. I mean, "Dino Crisis". What the hell is that lol. That may have worked in the 90s, but Dino Crisis sounds like some straight to video garbage.
If we ever get something similar, it will need to be rebranded and re-imagined, maybe as a Monster Hunter Future sub brand or something like that lol.

I'm not sure we'll see a remake of any other games after RE2. Behind RE4 it's one of the biggest and most hyped Resident Evil games of all time, so I think the idea of more remakes - be it another Resident Evil or Dino Crisis - is wishful thinking. If I were to guess, Resident Evil 8 on that gorgeous engine will be the next project.
I would think Dino Crisis 1 would be right up your alley. Considering how much you prefer the survival horror style of RE. Mikami Made DC1 with it being a testing ground for ideas that could be later used in RE.
As much as I'd want a Dino Crisis Remake, I don't think RE2 remake would set the precedence for that (at least not initially). Probably after RE8 and an RE3 remake doing well, then I can see them going "you know what about Dino Crisis too?"
I honestly feel that to be very likely. They already have the groundwork/assets underway. I think it would be much easier to turn around than RE2remake considering the pretty solid template that's been made already for RE2.
REmake 3 would be next, but yes. Well not sure on the reboot part, but success of REmake 2 (and DMC5) could lead to more RE Engine games, which in turn could open the path for bringing back certain classics like Onimusha or Dino Crisis.
You could make that claim about a number of Capcom games; Devil May Cry, Onimusha, Resident Evil. Dino Crisis is to the point, like oh shit, there's dinosaurs on the loose so there in lies the reason for the name Dino Crisis. It still works. It doesn't need some poetic title to work.
Devil May Cry is rather genius actually.
Onimusha has that Japanese feel obviously lol
Resident Evil has been an institution for two decades plus. They have the brand equity. Way better than the original title--Biohazard.
Hell no, lol! Biohazard definitely sounds better than Resident Evil because every game doesn't take place in some type of residence. Devil May Cry has significance to the ending of DMC1 and DMC3 but beyond that the title doesn't really communicate to you what the game is about. Onimusha I agree with unless a sequel was to move away from the feudal Japan setting, which it very much could because the genma had a hand it various cultures and their developments, both socially and technologically.

There is no way that Monster Hunter or Resident Evil as a title sounds less straight to DVD than Dino Crisis.
