Capcom's Dino Crisis Announcement Fails to Satisfy Fans
Dino Crisis enthusiasts are expressing their disappointment following the recent Capcom Showcase, as the beloved horror franchise was notably absent from the event
Fans of the beloved Dino Crisis series were left disappointed yet again after the latest Capcom showcase failed to deliver any news related to the franchise. While the showcase did feature Exoprimal, a game that has become increasingly controversial among fans with each subsequent showcase, the absence of any Dino Crisis-related announcements was keenly felt.
For years, fans of the classic Capcom series have eagerly awaited a reboot or remake of the original Dino Crisis, only to be met with disappointment as other franchises receive attention and updates. The lack of new content for Dino Crisis has been a sore point for fans, especially as games like Resident Evil and Ace Attorney continue to receive remakes, re-releases, and sequels. In the meantime, Exoprimal, a new co-op action game featuring dinosaurs, is slated for release on July 14, further exacerbating fans' frustration.
During the most recent Capcom Showcase, game director Takuro Hiraoka addressed feedback from fans by promising a more PvE-focused experience for Exoprimal, which was also showcased with an impressive cinematic trailer. However, some Dino Crisis fans expressed their disappointment on social media, as the event did not even acknowledge the iconic franchise. Some fans even suggested that a crossover between the two franchises would make more thematic sense than the upcoming Street Fighter crossover. Additionally, some players have pointed out the similarities between one of Exoprimal's characters and Regina, the protagonist of Dino Crisis, while expressing their desire for new developments in the beloved series. While Exoprimal appears to be nearing its release, Dino Crisis fans will have to continue waiting for any news regarding the franchise.
Despite the lack of an official announcement, fans of the Dino Crisis franchise have not lost hope. Some dedicated fans have undertaken the project of recreating the game with Unreal Engine 5, showcasing impressive videos of their progress. This gives fans something to anticipate and enjoy while they wait for any potential updates on the franchise. It is also worth noting that the game is still available on Dreamcast, PC, and PlayStation 1 for those who want to relive the original experience.
