Back in the PSOne days, Capcom smartly mixed Jurassic Park with Resident Evil and ended up with Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, a fantastic survival-horror series. Being chased down a narrow corridors by a Raptor, or being cornered in a small room by a T-Rex, was terrifying stuff. Dare I say, even more terrifying than a hoarde of zombies chasing after you.

Unfortunately, the DC games were never as popular as Resident Evil and, after the disasteriffic Dino Crisis 3, Capcom didn't continue the series.

But should the sereis be brought back in some form or another? I certainly think so. Go to the source to find out what Diehardgamefan.com's writers think...

This week we’re looking at a series that Capcom has let sit undisturbed for five years after one of the most spectacular failures in survival-horror history. You know something had to be bad when Capcom of all publishers stopped milking, rehashing, or spinning-off a series. Still the stigma of “Dinosaurs in Spaaaaaace” is still well known throughout the gaming community and so the Diehard GameFAN staff discusses whether or not the Dino Crisis series still has some life in it or if it should be as extinct as its antagonists.

    I think a nice remake/reboot on Dino Crisis would be best, re-introduce it to today's gamers. Hm, never played Dino Crisis 3...

    Agreed, how can big guns and scary Dinosaurs be a bad thing as long as they make it with the kind of care and attention they gave RE5.

      I'm sorry I didn't see the "/end obvious sarcasm" tag in your post, so I only hope you forgot to add the tag.

        I'm torn. On one hand, Capcom are the company that REmake... On the other hand, they are also the company that made RE5.

        If they can make a new Dino Crisis game similar to REmake, that would be AWESOME. Imagine being chased by dinosaurs in HD

          I just really wanted to know what was going through there minds when they where making DC3.

          This is why drugs and video games don't mix.

          But if a DC REmake was made and it was like the first 2, I would actually cry a little.

          ...Well they can always make a rail shooter for wii

      I think differently.If they make it like Re5 it will be a major disappointment.


      They should at least make it so DC3 isn't counted.

    Dino Crisis was a fantastic series, hell i even enjoyed Dino Crisis 3 even though most people hated it, I thought they mixed space and dinosaurs really well!

    But i'd like to see a fourth which is set at the same time period of 1 & 2. Or a whole new start over.

    Dino Crisis 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. Easily. An awesome mix of action, storyline, and puzzles. If they remake it I want all that in it. None of that RE4/RE5 all action focus.

    Either remake Dino Crisis 1, or start over. Whatever happens though, I hope they don't go down the RE path. Stay true to the survival horror genre, please.

    DinoCrisis was an amazing game that just wowed me as many others, A remake or a reboot would be perfect, either way you can't go wrong.

    That is.....SPACE.

    Get rid of it. I don't want it. DC3 was a horrible mistake that shouldn't even wield the same name. The only thing it has in common with previous iterations was the dinosaurs and even then they where mutant space dinosaurs. WTF?

    Just go back to the basics.

      Dino Crisis 3 was like Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5 for me.

      They are all cool games on their own right, but as parts of the main series they were named after they just sucked. If they would have simply named them something else, or hell, keep the name but don't add a number to it, add a subtitle instead it would have been better.

      Making it apart of the main series ruined it.

      Admittedly DC3 had some terrible camera issues, but other than that it was a fun game with some great graphics for it's time.

      This is CAPCOM were on about here. Now renown for Multiplat games, it'd be 360 & PS3.

    I'd be under the impression that it'd be Resident Evil 5 again, only with Dinosau... oh nevermind. They'll turn them into a bunch of walking talking Raptor Jesuses. They'll add a vs feature in which a headshot only annoys you.

        Are you implying RE5 was bad? THAT GAME WAS THE BEST.....err......

        I'll just sit here quietly in this corner over here.
