Dino Crisis Series Finds New Life on PC

GOG resurrects the cult classic survival horror games, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, bringing them to PC gamers DRM-free. Both PlayStation originals are now available on GOG's platform as part of their Preservation Program, ensuring the original content remains untouched.

Released in 1999 and 2000 respectively, these titles represent a nostalgic trip for fans. While Dino Crisis 3 (an Xbox exclusive) remains the series' last entry, hopes for a new game or HD remake have been largely dashed by Capcom's focus on other projects, such as Exoprimal, and statements from series creator Shinji Mikami.

GOG's release is significant, as these PC ports were previously difficult to obtain and run smoothly on modern systems. GOG highlights the improved experience, stating that Regina's famous line, "You're extinct!", no longer applies to the games themselves.

Furthermore, GOG launched its Dreamlist, a community voting system allowing users to suggest games for revival or addition to the platform. This initiative aims to gauge community interest and potentially bring more classic titles to GOG.
