Hey Capcom, Remaster ‘Dino Crisis’ Already
When I think of HD remasters of classic video games, Capcom almost immediately comes to mind. They’ve re-released a bunch of their older titles with varying degrees of success, and they’ve gradually been getting better at it. They don’t just have a history of making great video games, they have a legacy, and that legacy was built on the shoulders of a handful of influential games that practically raised some of us.
It’s not surprising that they would want to follow up the crazy successful HD remaster of the beloved Resident Evil remake with even more remasters, but what is surprising is that they plan to get more than one of them out within a year from now.
I’ve gone on and on about how deserving Resident Evil 2 is of a remaster, and it’s only a matter of time before Resident Evil 6 makes its way to the PS4 and Xbox One, so I’d say that series is pretty well-covered at this point. Before a recent Resident Evil gets the remaster treatment, I feel like I need to remind Capcom of another series of theirs that is in desperate need of some love.
Hey Capcom, remember when you still loved Dino Crisis?
That sure was a great series. The first two have enjoyed their status as survival horror classics for some time now, and yet, they’ve somehow managed to go ages with nary a mention of what kind of future they might have. The timing is ideal for the revival of a series that was, with the exception of the third game, universally acclaimed. Plus, seeing this series make a comeback would go a long way in helping me get over Konami’s murder of Silent Hill.
Dinosaurs have never really lost their appeal — if anything, their popularity has only grown over the years and will likely continue to do so with the upcoming release of Jurassic World. This series may even benefit from the scorched earth The Stomping Land left after its long, uneventful run on Steam. That game left a lot of gamers with a bad case of dino blue balls, and Dino Crisis may be the only remedy those poor people can get right now.
So come on, Capcom, give Dino Crisis some love. It’s been away from us for far too long.
I made this one multiple choice, because while I’m sure most of you would be up for a Dino Crisis remaster, I doubt it’d rank higher than Resident Evil 2. Also, if you’re feeling extra awesome today, let me know which Capcom game(s) you think is most undeserving of a remaster.
