New GVMERS Doc Focuses on the Rise and Fall of ‘Dino Crisis’ [Video]
Yeah, it’s unfortunately that time again for Dino Crisis fans. After Konami finally listening to Silent Hill fans last week, and Capcom giving Resident Evil fans the goods with the Resident Evil 4 remake, where’s the love for Panic Horror? Sadly, that’s not coming for the time being from Capcom, but GVMERS is back with another of their documentaries, this time focusing on Dino Crisis.
The GVMERS documentary covers the inception of Dino Crisis, which obviously owes much of its success to Resident Evil. The inevitable comparisons to both franchises are discussed, alon with Shinji Mikami‘s concept of Panic Horror, compared with Resident Evil‘s Survival Horror.
From there, the documentary covers the development of the sequels, and their gradual move away from what made the original Dino Crisis so memorable for many fans. Consequently, the sequels after Dino Crisis 2 saw diminishing positive response from fans and critics. Things end on a down note with 2003’s Dino Crisis Dungeon in Chaos, a lackluster first-person shooter mobile game published by the now-defunct Mobile Capcom in 2003 for DoCoMo 505i and 505is phones.
As for what the future holds for fans, that remains to be seen. Luckily, in addition to mods and in-development fan remakes, Dino Crisis-inspired titles like Iteria Games’ Compound Fracture and Hashbane Interactive’s Instinction are on the way to ensure that fans aren’t left out.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
