Fan Remakes Portion of ‘Dino Crisis 2’ in Unreal Engine 4
We’ve been clamouring for Capcom to finally get to a new Dino Crisis game for a while, but what about Dino Crisis 2? While it seems less likely that Capcom would remake Dino Crisis 2, Stefano Cagnani has taken it upon himself to remake a portion of the game himself. And you can download it today!
Recreated using the Unreal Engine 4, Dino Crisis 2: Jungle of Silence is described as “a short new mission from the original story”, with remade assets. It’s not the full game, but when it’s just a one-person operation, that’s not a surprise.
Cagnani has also been busy with other fan-made games based on other horror properties. Along with Candyman and H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds, Cagnani has created games involving Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Scream‘s Ghostface. You can guess what those involve.
And of course, while Capcom still doesn’t appear interested in revisiting Dino Crisis, we at least have the upcoming Deathground and Instinction in the near future to satisfy our dinosaur Survival Horror needs.
Big thanks to DSOGaming for spotting this one.

Psychological Survival Horror Title ‘Puppet House’ Announced for Later This Year [Teaser]
Tropes like haunted houses and possessed dolls are a dime a dozen in horror. But darn it, they’re by and large a lot of fun. Developers Vecube Studio and Spirit Games Studio certainly think so, as they’ve teamed with publisher Gaming Factory to bring us both in Puppet House. Slated for release later this year on Steam, this psychological horror title sees you roaming the mansion of a deceased ventriloquist (or is he?) in search of answers.
In Puppet House, you will take on the role of Rick Evans, a photographer whose interest in haunted places has led him to Field Town, and the home of Peter Hill, an famed ventriloquist who has long since departed this life. Everyone in the town talked about the place, many of them even tried to get inside. Articles have been written about disappearances and screams coming from the walls of the abandoned house, and Rick aims to clear the air about these stories.
From the initial sounds of things, Puppet House will rely on the atmosphere of the old mansion as you wander about the place. However, you soon realize that you’re not the only one in the mansion. As you make your way through the place, solving the various puzzles and avoiding whatever it is that you sense, you’ll happen upon notes and articles that bring you closer to the truth about Peter Hill and his mansion. However, as you might expect, some secrets are best left hidden.
