As their post on X stated, you wanted it, you got it. After giving fans of the original Resident Evil trilogy some love, GOG.com has announced that they’ve done the same for Dino Crisis fans, bringing back the PC ports of the first two games for play on modern systems. Both games can be bought as part of a bundle, or bought individually.
Much like what they did with the RE games, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 have been tweaked by the GOG devs with some necessary enhancements. Here’s a rundown:
- Dino Crisis:
- Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11
- All 6 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese)
- Original, Arrange, and Operation Wipe Out modes included
- Improved DirectX game renderer
- New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling, Anti-Aliasing, and more)
- Increased rendering resolution to ~4K (1920p) and color depth to 32-bit.
- Improved geometry calculation, more stable transformation and texturing.
- Improved alpha transparency
- Improved game registry settings
- Issue-free animation, video, and music playback
- Issue-free saving (the game no longer corrupts save files after leaving dropped weapons)
- Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware, hotplugging and wireless mode
- Dino Crisis 2:
- Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11
- All 2 localizations of the game included (English, Japanese)
- Easy difficulty, Dino Colosseum and Dino Duel included
- Improved DirectX game renderer
- New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling, Anti-Aliasing and more)
- Improved music playback and volume scaling

- Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware and wireless mode
While it’s not quite the news that fans were hoping to hear, it at least shows that Capcom is willing to give the long-dormant series some attention. Fingers crossed that Capcom finally decides to give us a new entry or a remake in the near future.
