Dino Crisis
Despite being absolutely terrifying, not a lot of mainstream horror games, or even movies, use dinosaurs as a device to scare people. Imagine being ferociously stalked by a T-Rex? Can you name many gaming franchises that do this?
Enter Dino Crisis, the series that started out as Resident Evil but with dinosaurs. It had a great run in the early 2000s but has since been left in the early 21st century.
But with the horror genre booming and remasters and remakes being so plentiful, it’s a crime we haven’t, at the very least, gotten a Dino Crisis remaster.
I say at the very least because what it really deserves is a full-on remake. Capcom, the developers behind Dino Crisis, have gone on a remake frenzy this past couple of years with the Resident Evil franchise, and Dino Crisis deserves the same treatment.
Remasters and remakes often serve to gauge interest in a series that has been dormant for a while, so it’s a possible option for the developers instead of a whole new game.
Yes, the series hasn’t been around for a while, but the gameplay could be updated as Capcom did with the remakes of Resident Evil 2 & Resident Evil 3, along with some updates to the game’s mechanics.
Even if it’s not a massive success like Capcom’s other beasts like Monster Hunter or Resident Evil, it could still be another profitable series that they have in the bag.
Despite horror games growing in popularity over the years, these games have been left in the past. They all have great mechanics, interesting worlds, and are just downright scary. Hopefully we see them return in some form.
