Fans Have Begun Remaking ‘Dino Crisis’ Using Unreal Engine 4
If you want something done right, you do it yourself.
In spite of Capcom’s recent success with the Resident Evil 2 remake, fans of Capcom’s other survival horror/panic horror franchise, Dino Crisis, are still left wanting. Luckily, a group of fans have taken it upon themselves to do what Capcom apparently won’t do: Remake Dino Crisis.
While still early, the group Team Arklay have released footage of their preliminary work for the remake, which is being done using the Unreal Engine 4. The hallways are deserted at the moment, but the atmosphere is definitely taking shape.
Hopefully Capcom lets these guys continue. If not, perhaps they’ll allow the team to transition to a Dino Crisis-esque game, as was the case with the fan-made Resident Evil 2 remake-turned-tribute in Daymare: 1998.
Thanks, DSOGaming.
