and once you're done with those two mediocre RE clones, you can move on to the actual magnum opus

Thanks for reminding me........What is it with Xbox and killing off good franchises

OP, I'll buy them again when they release in 1080p with trophy support on PS4, until then Sony can go shove their sale.

You joke but I want this game so bad. Dinosaurs in space sounds amazingly terrible.

I'll treat myself to it after I beat 1 (DC) and 2 (PSX). I bought them last year but didn't play them :p

Don't. Just. Don't.

There is no Dino Crisis 3. There is no Dino Crisis 3. There is no Dino Crisis 3. There is no Dino Crisis 3.

i kind of wish that we, as a species, could finally move on from having every dc thread turn into about how shitty dc3 is, and focus more on how awesome dc2 is. everyone keep beating that dead horse though i guess. cool.

coincidentally, I was just playing dc2 last night for the first time in years. it's so awesome! on paper it sounds like it should be absolutely terrible, yet somehow it all works so, so well.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Apparently I already own both games on PSN so I guess I don't have to buy them again.

The fourth one is destined to be amazing.

Look at this way.

Dino Crisis 1 - Jurassic Park = Amazing.

Dino Crisis 2 - Jurassic Park: The Lost World = Great

Dino Crisis 3 - Jurassic Park 3 = Complete garbage

Dino Crisis 4 - Jurassic World = Amazing

YOU CAN DO THIS.

I just wish they'd just put them on the UK store. I'd love to own both but can't be arsed making a NA account and spending $20 bucks on a card to buy two 2 dollar games.

Love the games though. Hopefully one day they'll grace us with a new entry.

I loved it on PS1, it's such a shame that it's not been continued, besides that crap of Dino Crysis 3...I always hope some time it'll get a proper current gen seaquel but even a remake or hd remastered of the first would be awesome

I purposefully don't bring up Dino Crisis 3 in my threads (Unless I have to) for that reason. The hatred is understandable. The series ending on such a sour note is absolutely tragic. Thus why even today so many despise it. But we should remember the good times more than the bad.

That's the dream. That hopefully becomes reality.

Since you're gonna get a bunch of dramatic "Just don't" responses, here are real reasons why it's bad:

--Fast moving dinosaurs, fast moving you with a jet pack and infinite ammo = awesome right?

--Wrong. Fixed camera angles and shitty aiming make fighting a huge pack of enemies very frustrating. You'll get mauled a lot and not on your own fault. Enemies jump in from outside the scene and surprise-wreck you a lot.

--When combat works, it's a combo of brain dead boring and control-wrestling.

--Boss fights are okay, but can be spongy and boring.

--All there is to this game is combat so...there's the whole review.

extra:
--Environment- bland metal ship with dumb puzzles that tell you where to fit object A into object B, removing the one tiny semblance of challenge/thought in survival horror puzzles.

--The big story reason people hate 3 (spoils the nature of 2's ending but not specifics):
2 ends on a cliffhanger that 3 doesn't address.

1 is amazeballs. Super amazing resident evil "clone." 2...I don't get it. I hate it.
 
I would like to see a Resident Evil like REmake of Dino Crisis.

Edit: I'll have to wait for PS1 support on PS4 to buy these.
 
I actually already own Dino crisis 1 on psn but I have yet to get to it. I really should now along with picking up Dino crisis 2, this series desperately needs a reboot after what capcom did to it with the third game.

I'd really like to play these games because I love dinosaurs but I find fixed cameras with tank controls basically unplayable.

I'd kill for an RE4 style revival of the series so then I could finally enjoy it.

RE4 still has tank controls, they just changed the camera perspective and let you aim the gun.

Honestly I don't even have the faintest clue what a modern DC should be. Most games, if someone asked me I could probably come up with something reasonable, but DC idk.

I would just say, go ask Jawmuncher.

The general consensus is to rework RE6 style gameplay into a Dino crisis game. Thus going off Dino Crisis 2 more than anything. Whatever they do I think Third Person would work best, even if they go for a more survival horror approach.Which as was also mentioned at this point would probably be more similar to Alien Isolation. Less Ammo and Dinosaurs. But they're all far more threatening. If anything is ever done will be interesting to see what they go with.

The one thing I do know about Dino Crisis, is that Regina isn't cowering under some desk.

Yeah TPV I agree with. I might be disappointed otherwise.

I hope they bring this back. Dinosaurs are awesome. You can do action or survival horror, or some mix. OG games already proved it.

I think I liked Dino Crisis 3...but then again that was so long ago.

I think the main complaints were the controls and camera?
 
I want to get them, probably on Dreamcast, because RE2 and RE3 for that console are glorious.

One thing that's keeping me from doing that, though... In RE, once you kill a zombie, it's gone. You come back to that hallway, and that mofo ain't there no mo'.

But in Dino Crisis, apparently the dinosaurs... Respawn. Not a big fan of respawning enemies in survival horror games.

Forgot to mention that. Yeah they do respawn, which is why you juggle ammo and tranqs. Though I agree would be better if they didn't. Though it does make sense story wise as to why they would.

I was thinking: "Gotta be a Jawmuncher thread."

Confirmed.

And yes, both games are great, and the franchise deserves to be revived RE4 style.
