Capcom has a survey doing the rounds asking about its past and present franchises - and naturally, Dino Crisis is the topic du jour. But should we even want a new Dino Crisis game?
Exactly. We definitely deserve a breath of fire game again before most of their other ips. Rpgs are killing it these last few years. Jump in capcom
Its a possibility that the survey would help bring older games to moderns age. Possibilities
It feels like that with most videogame company surveys. I often times wonder why they even bother with them as they usually don't amount to much.
Siliconera spoke with Exoprimal Director Takuro Hiraoka about the game, its dinosaurs, and the possibility of a Dino Crisis crossover.
Exoprimal regrettably isn't Dino Crisis' much-needed revival, but a fun and hilarious game that could do wonders with consistent content.
I've read many who say this game is mad fun... rough around the edges, but otherwise fun.
I've been enjoying this game since I bought it. Win or lose, it's a great time
I'm not. This is a huge misstep. Based on their last showcase I believe Capcom is about to take a bit of a tumble from grace starting here.
For how many Resident Evil games there are, its almost criminal there hasnt been a new Dino Crisis.
Dino crisis was really good, but the direction of the third one was painful and quite hard, not bad just a tough game that took the fun out of the series.
Seriously, guy? Literally everybody has heard about all of those! I wouldn't call any of them hidden or unknown, especially Dino Crisis and Breath of Fire.
You wanna play some hidden gems? Assuming we're only talking about games from the 5th generation, try one of these:
- Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru - Saturn (only released in Japan/ extremely low print run)
- Hyper Duel - Saturn (only released in Japan/low print run)
- Gunners Heaven / Rapid Reload - PS1 (Japan and PAL region)
- Cyberbots - PS1, Saturn (only released in Japan)
- Incredible Crisis - PS1 (probably the most well known out of all the titles I've mentioned, but underappreciated!)
Wish I knew about a few hidden gems for N64, but I'm not that familiar with the system, since didn't get it until the end of it's life-cycle and only played the more popular titles.
There are tons of incredible lesser known titles out there, and as you might already have noticed; a lot of them never left Japan. The language barrier isn't a problem in most games from that era, unless it's an RPG or text-heavy game of course!
