Dino Crisis, the science fiction survival and adventure game developed by veteran Shinji Mikami, is considered one of Capcom’s most successful titles with three parts released. The first part was released on the PlayStation 1 in 1999 and has sold over 4.4 million units worldwide to date.
ENFANT TERRIBLE channel showcased extended new footage of an independent game called Dino Crisis: Rebirth, a short unofficial game developed by a single person using the Unreal Engine 4 from a third-person perspective.
Dino Crisis: Rebirth is a demo version made by only one developer. This project is fully inspired by the original game released in 1999, but it does not represent a complete new version, as the demo version offers the horror atmosphere of the original game in a modern style. Despite some shortcomings, it is an attempt worthy of appreciation.
Despite nearly two decades since the release of the last installment in the series, players still hope for Capcom to release a new installment or an enhanced version as they do with the famous survival horror series Resident Evil. However, all we have heard so far are weak rumors talking about developing a new part of the game or working on revitalizing the series in an improved “remake” format.
The Future of the Dino Crisis Series
Despite the absence of any official news or hints about a new installment in the Dino Crisis series or even a remake of the first parts similar to what happened with Resident Evil, expectations suggest that the Japanese developer needs to respond to the series’ fans and large audience, especially since recent polls have shown the need for the series’ comeback.
In conclusion, fans of the series hope to see the return of our red-haired protagonist Regina and face the terrifying dinosaurs once again in this new gaming generation. Whether it is a return to the original series or a reproduction of the old parts, this series has the potential to be one of the best horror games in this generation, and we still need to see what the future holds for this legendary series.
