Dino Crisis – Last seen September 16, 2003 – Xbox
Shinji Mikami took survival horror in a different route for his 1999 PS1 game. Instead of being hunted and stalked by zombies, the protagonist was being hunted by dinosaurs. The game did differ slightly from
Resident Evil. Instead of pre-rendered backgrounds, protagonist Regina could “run and gun” in fully 3D environments. The game was successful enough to gain a Dreamcast and PC port and two sequels. Sadly
Dino Crisis 3 was a relative commercial and critical failure, usually gaining reviews that barely passed a six. Most reviewers saw this game as a failure to move the franchise forward, and these dinos haven’t been heard from since. With the soon to be revived survival horror renaissance on the horizon, now would be a perfect time for Capcom to hire Mikami to reboot this lost franchise. Just look at what he did with
Resident Evil 4. He took his old creation and made it even more amazing than the original. We’ve all heard that
The Evil Within will be his last directorial title, but let’s all say nay and get him working on a
Dino Crisis reboot. It’s the game gamers need.
