Perinthius: Now that Capcom did this, do you think they will also bring us the two Dino Crisis games?
TidepoolSeawing: i think they made things clear with exoprimal. but at this point anything is possible. i mean the guy who made MH World had expressed great interest in directing a dino crisis game but so far still to this day still nothing. id take a classic re-release on gog and modern consoles at this point for dino crisis
Fitting how the MH World (Director?) has interest in working on a DC game, seeing how there's also giant lizard dinosaur monsters in MH.
One would wonder what a Dino Crisis 4 would be like, the third one was set in SPAAACE in the far future, where do you go from there? Either back to the present, or more time travel shenanigans to the far prehistoric past.
I suppose the plot would go something like, a scientist survey team, much like in Half-Life with Xen, except it's time travel instead of space travel/portals, went back in time to learn the secret of evolution or someother (not to be confused with a vaguely similar plot from Dragon Quest IV) and they never came back to the present, so you have to go rescue them, or at least retrieve their research data or what have you.
Ammo itself would be pretty scarce obviously, as the survey team only brought so much stuff back in time with them. You'd have to craft most of it RE3 style, except even more so. There would be a decent focus on melee and some stealth. Could be a semi-open world game, and then have dungeons like installations built by the survey team, caves, volcanic caves, etc. Then mid to late game, you go back to the present, and find things have changed,
and not big surprise, the facility is now infested with dinos for whatever reason.
Dino Crisis hasn't exactly been consistent in the types of games they are. DC1 was survival horror, 2 was almost pure arcade shooty bang bang where you BUY stuff with POINTS, and 3 was... whatever 3 was (an over the top futuristic shooter with a comically bad camera?). So this one mas well be a bit different, too, as long as it's way better than 3.
On a random side note, for whatever reason back in 2015, I decided to get a new (sealed) copy of Dino Crisis 2 on PC. That thing was SO old (despite being new/sealed), that the rosette (the thing that holds the disc in place) just disintegrated when I took the disc out of the jewel case. Since I was on XP at the time, the game ran just fine, but obviously DC 1 and 2 are gonna need some patching if they plan to run on any remotely modern OS. Breath of Fire IV would also be nice, and also already has a PC port.
