Join the battle against prehistoric creatures as the sequel to the popular Dino Crisis game, Dino Crisis 2, will be released on the North American PSN as a PSOne classic.
Update:
We now have official word of a release date: April 19th on NA PSN.
I played it and enjoyed it. It's completely different from 1 and 2, but I still thought it was fun. I'm not sure how bad it has aged seeing as how I played it about six years ago, but for the time, I liked it.
Capcom usually throws a couple of new IPs every generation. During the 32-bit era, they invented Resident Evil and Dino Crisis (while going on with their previous series like Breath of Fire, Street Fighter and MegaMan). In the 128-bit era, they invented Devil May Cry, Onimusha and Monster Hunter (while still developing Resident Evil, Dino Crisis and Breath of Fire). This generation, they came up with Dead Rising and Lost Planet (dropping Onimusha, Dino Crisis and Breath of Fire, but going further with Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter and of course Resident Evil).
You can bet in the next generation they will develop two or three brand new IPs, while carrying on the most succesful from this generation and abandoning the struggling ones. This has always been they're modus operandi.
@plbelanger A lot of their creative mind such as Yoshiki Okamoto, Shinji Mikami, Hideki Kamiya, and Keiji Inafune was resign from the company. And that's really gave a big blow for capcom.
Honestly, i don't think capcom can make some great games for next generation...
Awesome, but the first Dino Crisis is even better because it has more focus as a survival/horror/puzzle and is less of an action game. I don't understand why they can't just release these simultaneously across each PSN region. Maybe it is something to do with bugs in certain versions when converting them.
I'd love capcom to revive the series, but they'd just turn it into a generic action title like every developer is doing these days.
All depends on who developed it and if they had the manpower to port it to the PS3.
I played Dino Crysis 2 back in the day and it was one of my top 10 games of all time. Was resident evil with raptors trying to eat your ass.... was awesome. Does anyone know if these remakes are going to be HD or just ports.
DC 3 was a bad game, it sold poorly and received mixed reviews at the time. It's very unlinkely that Capcom would re-release it, there are more chances (altough very slim) that they would put out an entirely new game.
Halow, this are just straight ports (they're in the PSOne classics section of the Store), HD remakes are currently only done for PS2/Xbox games.
I play mostly PS One classics on my PSP, it's good to be able to re-experience such great games on the go, even if I'd alredy played most of them on the original PlayStation.
I have Dino Crisis 2 for PC and I'm not too bothered about it. Completed it in around 4 hours and wasn't very impressed. The first Dimo Crisis which I played on PS1 was a lot better, just like Resident Evil, but with dinosaurs instead of zombies.
I played the piss out of this game on the PS1. I remember being disappointed because DC3 had nothing to do with the original story (the dinos weren't even real dinos!), but the story was actually continued in a PS2 light-gun game called Dino Stalker.
Even then though, if you think about it, Regina successfully came back and saved Dylan/Paula. If she didn't, how would future Dylan have existed?
Great news! I've played this games like a hundred times on PS1. Enjoyed the story and characters. Ending was good they should contiune it.
Wow, remember this one from the PS1 days. It's like Resident Evil with Dinosaurs. Very cool. Why can't Capcom make games like they did for the PS1? =\

Lol I still have the PS1 disk for this game
Played it to death. It was much more action-focused then the first, but still great.
