So a lot of people have been asking why I didn't show the third ending for DC1. I do know about it (I might even mention somewhere in the video about there being "3 endings"?) but to be honest, until seeing people discuss it in the comments here, I had been under the impression that the helicopter endings were locked off by earlier branching choices in the game.
But apparently, nope, all three of them can be achieved just from the final choice... seems like a bit of a cop-out if you ask me. But yeah, turns out I could have easily covered it too without having to go back and replay large portions of the game. My bad.
"That's disgusting."
Apparently Dino Crisis 1 has 4 endings. Had to look them all up.
Wasn't it supposed to be something like a therizinosaur? Edit: Nevermind you said it like two seconds later lol
Stumbled upon this through my recommendations and I just have to subscribe. Great structure, love the humor and very interesting showcase of these games. Absolutely love it, keep up the great work!
not just a copout but also total bullshit, not a single hint about it at all... you just have to think about it yourself, that's goood or bad?
Imagine if Dino crisis got the RE2 remake treatment. It would be awesome!
One day Coach, one day
How about no and leave classics be classics. We don't need another shallow-minded spin-off labeled as remake just to cash in on idiots.
REmake ONE REmake 2 had nothing new buddy even capcom acknolodges the original RE2 better story canon
@Kenny Debruyne Right I have to remind myself Gamers now a days have stockholm syndrome Sequels and remakes are expected to have Less content than more. Ambition in the industry is lost to time
@@tonyinfinite5174 What are you guys on about? RE2 Remake was pretty freaken good. Most RE fans were happy with how it turned out and now because of its success, an RE3 remake might be on the way. Sure it has its problems but you guys are making out to be way worse than it actually is. How about aiming that vitriol at the actual fuck ups of the gaming industry instead of a really great game.
I love how 80% of camera angles are at ass-level
In DC 3 You mean ?
They it should hahaha
Never change capcom
If it's Regina's then it's more than alright with me.
Better than not being able to see shit :D
"That's disgusting" is the one line from the original Dino Crisis I'll never forget. It was at that moment I forgot all about Jugs Valentine and fell in love with Regina as the lady of survival horror.
I never even vaguely considered her "That's disgusting" line to be a bad read. It suited her character perfectly. Look, if you're sending in a squad of elite super-commandos on a secret mission like this, the people you send in are NOT going to be squeamish at the sight of blood. I really liked the way that line established from the beginning that she's the kind of person who isn't going to lose her s*** when people start dying around her.
Yeah. The line read was actually very fitting. She's seen death before. So she's just sorta... breaking the tension.
It established her bad ass cred without having her make a pithy quip about someone’s gruesome and painful death.
first time i played dino crisis i was about 9 yrs old(didnt get very far before being too scared to continue), and even then i thought the line was great.
I hope if they do remake DC, she'll have a similar bitchy and witty attitude.
@@MoNDockS225 Yeah they won't. Capcom is too obsessed with "realism".
"I'll save you bro!"
Cowboy bro is best bro. We will never forget.
I can't forget his thick ass arms.
Gotta love those biceps. ❤️
bro-iest bro that ever bro'd
ran like a girl in high heels though
"You look as if you needed a bath, bro!" @dustisdeadbodies85
Plus he did shove a faceful of rocket into the T-Rex at the beginning of the game, blowing out its eyeball.
I love the dinosaur classification system being used here, where they're either a Chompy Boi or a Snappy Boi. Fantastic!
Its highly scientific.
@@RedScotGaming By the way, you should remove that artwork of Regina off your thumbnail. It's not yours to use, especially without credit.
Aha found ya Silver! Once again you have proven you’re a Host with good taste!
(And yes Chompy Bois are very different than Snappy Bois!)
@@X360M Year late but as far as I can tell RSG made that art. Reverse image searching doesn't pull up any other sources for the image except RSG's deviantart page.
I adore Regina’s initial reaction to death because it really did endear me to her as a character
Edit: I mean Jill and all the other ladies from RE react to death like a Shakespeare drama and Regina just goes, “Oh... well, that must suck. I’m going to go shoot some dinosaurs. Mondays, am I right?”
Me sees Dinocrisis 3
also Me :"That`s disgusting".
So how bad is it
@@neptunestarprime you better not know.
@@neptunestarprime let me put it to you like this, it's the Alien3 to DC2's Aliens. Actually more of an Alien: Resurrection type game. It improves on the gunplay of DC2 but the rest of the game takes the piss out of the previous entries
Dc3 is on par with Re6's level of shitting on the lore and gameplay of its predecessors. And the worst part? It technically lines up with the lore of the previous two... but uses NONE OF IT because the creators must've been brained hard enough to make them have less measurable brain function than a vegetable.
I actually enjoyed DC3, but in order to do so I pretend it's a stand alone game. So take of that what you will.
Regina: "that's disgusting" 🤣🤣🤣 I cried
i always thought it was spot on as she's meant to be a trained and experienced merc and does seem somewhat more surprised about a dinosaur being alive.
Her expressionless pixelated face says it all...
Well, she does at least show some compassion for her comrades at parts.
Regina: Oh it's another mission where everyone is dead... seen it.
(A dinosaur appears)
Holy Sh*t!, that's new.
(The 2nd game later)
Regina: Dinosaurs again?... what ever...
Well, at least she has a sense of humor about it
Searched Dino Crisis 'cause I wanted to see some gameplay of a series I never played, ended up getting a great rundown on the whole franchise!
I wanted to somehow play this game and i found Dino Crisis 1 and 2 on the Vita PS store
Chompy Boi
_Boi of Significant Chomp_
Regina is a hard as nails combat vet.
She doesn't deal in problems, only solutions.
Resident Evil X Dino Crisis - Jill & Regina pulled through to another dimension. Virus infected dinosaurs. Zombie Raptors & Tyrant T-Rex.
My heart skipped a beat when I read," Tyrant T-Rex". Never have I needed something so bad and not known it till now.
Wasn't tyrant T-Rex in RE6 ?
@@kamikazoo6599 kinda of
There is a Regina Skin for Jill that you can unlock in Resident Evil 3.
No shit, look it up if you dont believe me.
underrated concept
The “To be continued....” at 18:08 was perfect
As a Kid I was way more scared of Dino Crisis than Resident Evil!
Me too strangely even tho i was a dinosaur geek and new how inaccurate it was
i was afraid of asteroids and world war
@@thunderlifestudios me too
You didn't show it, but there is a 3rd ending to Dino Crisis 1. There's a locked path in the underground lab that opens up after the final decision branch. It leads to a helicopter in an underground hangar, and finding it locks you into Ending 3, where you extract Dr. Kirk, save Gail, and drop a napalm bomb on the T-rex as it chases you out of the hangar (in a cutscene, but eh.) Unlocking all the endings gives you an infinite ammo grenade launcher.
Glad SOMEONE remembers that one.
infinite ammo.... standard issue awesomeness for classic games!
There's two ways to get that ending - If you side with Gail, you need to find the hangar before meeting up with Gail. If you side with Rick, you can use the locator to find Dr. Kirk in the hangar and unlock the third ending that way.
there is 4 endings actually, I forgot the fourh one due.
@@dragom2009 There's only 3 listed endings in the main campaign and an ending screen for completing the Operation: Wipe Out mini game, but I don't count the ending for the mini game.
*"AH! UNDERWATER BOSS FIGHT LONG BOI!"*
For some reason, I love this line!
"Ahh, underwater boss fight long boi"
Man I made it 6 mins into your vid and enjoyed it. I appreciate your passion to make content this long. Respect this is done out of love rather than cheap CZcams views.
Dino Crisis 1 and 2 are my two favourite games ever. Then when I see part 3 I want to cry. The disappointment, I can't handle it!
Remake. Remake. REMAKE!
What are you talking about? There's only 2 games in the series.
Dino Crisis 3 as a concept isn't terrible, at least. In execution and as a continuation of a very different previous two games...yeah I can get why people hate it so much.
Amen brother
@@Avengedtenfold nah, space dino is pretty terrible as a concept. That's the kind of premise The Asylum would put as a spin-off to Sharknado
I luckily avoided the third game despite owning an X-Box back then due to simply being unable to find it.
Oh, Regina. Your sassiness makes me fall in love to you even more.
18:00 - 18:20 killed me. This whole video is brilliant.
I actually love Regina's attitude in DC1
Dino Crisis 2 in my eyes is an absolute masterpiece for the PS1, I can't tell you how many times I replayed it lol
But anyway, I think the most exciting idea when thinking of a Dino Crisis remake is how like the Resident Evil 2 remake, they could look at expanding the game. New areas, puzzles, new enemies, and maybe even utilize current paleontology theories and knowledge and apply them to the dinosaur dinosaur designs. Imagine how awesome the (admittedly out of place) Therizinosaurus would look compared to how it looks in the game with our current understanding of how it would look now. Those scythe claws would be fucking horrifying.
Also we could just change the "Velociraptor" to Utahraptor, Deinonychus or Dakotaraptor lol
But either way, however it comes out, a Dino Crisis would be a literal dream come true
honestly, they should replace Therizinosaurus with more accurate larger Dilophosaurus it would work better lol.
In reality RE2 remake didn't expand on anything. They added one house which is the orphanage which again have nothing to do with the original game lore. They butchered RE2 to the point it is just another shallow-minded spin-off made by idiots for even bigger naive idiots so crapcom can just cash in. The sales say pretty much what this garbage is. It was down-priced just a week later and they offer "free" DLC to lure in more sales, which in the end for some worked and for many it wont because why would anyone bother to buy that garbage. And many refunded this game and some would like to refund it because crapcom promised a remaster/remake true to the original but this game is not even closely what they promised. They said this new game is more realistic while it is even worse then the original. It have laughable pathetic writing and scenes and logic made by a 10 year old. The only thing connected to the original are the character names everything else is butchered to death. So instead of wasting time to prove further the obvious NO! true fans don't want another stupid remake by crapcom that will just have poor sales again. Why invest into a toxic garbage? Makes no sense from a business standpoint. A pile of toxic shit with makeup on is still just a pile of toxic shit. And if you are into that I feel sorry for you. Also in reality theories are irrelevant. Instead solid proof is what should people be after.
I've beat that game on every platform that plays it. Beat it on the PS1, my modded PSP, emulated the PS1 on my PC and beat it there and beat the official PC version. Massive re playability.
their wasn't new enemies in REmake2
@bigevilworldwide1 Cool opinion. You're wrong.
I never get tired of playing DC2. IMO, it's one of the best games I've ever played in my life. Thank you for the video and getting my hopes up for a remake maybe.
Me too :D
Just wanted to say this is the first video I've seen from this channel, perhaps because I'm American and youtube doesn't often show me content from other countries. But God damn dude well done on this retrospective. I've been toying with the idea of starting a youtube channel myself with Turok being the first game I review and I've played around with video editing, sound editing, script writing, among other things so i know exactly how much time and effort must have gone into making this. This is quality content and you've earned yourself a sub!
11:08 - the answer is actually quite simple when you remember that the key is to subtract the DDK from the CODE disc. In this instance, the DDK's contents are conveniently spaced out to align with certain rows of letters.
Subtract the corresponding rows and you're left with "STABILIZER", which is exactly what's behind the door guarded by this particular DDK lock.
"My sister's necklace. This necklace belonged to my sister." No $hit, Sherlock.
I think it's more of a disbelief repetition.
The poison, The poison for kuzco, the poison specifically chosen for kuzco, kuzco's poison
did you know this necklace belonged to my sister we used to call it my sisters necklace we did cause it was a necklace... but it also belonged to my sister... I have a sister and she had a necklace
4 yrs ago and still coming back to listen to this review as one hell of a fun video.
You hit these gaming retrospectives out of the park. Some of my favorite CZcams content ever. And I’m an old fucker; I’ve seen some shit and some things, man. More people need to check out your content.
Cooper just can’t get a break in any dinosaur movie or game (Jurassic Park 3, and Dino Crisis)
They didn't even stop the plane for him, man!
How he managed to get ahead of said plane is anyone's guess. :p
I think the two Cooper's are related. The Cooper in Jurassic Park 3 is out to avenge the death of his brother in Dino Crisis.
#shareduniverse
@@Dinoslay The writers had to figure out a way to kill Cooper, he was too powerful. Faster than moving planes, he probably would have been able to take the Spino on in a 1v1 if the plane hadn't gotten in the way and prevented him from using his powers to their full extent. You can see him in the movie waving his arms and asking them to stop because he knows his power would have atomized the other characters if they got any closer.
@F̡ac͜e͡l̨e̶ss͟ It's almost like he could slow down time and sneak around like Quicksilver. Too bad for him and the rest of the group that the Spino also had that ability. 👅
"What is it?"
".....................................................BLOOD!"
I hope that's not Chris's blood! =O
15:50 - "It's all Obi Wan's fault. He's holding me back!!" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
36:18 "What? Me? I tripped the alar...."
That had me in tears.
There is a third ending to DC1 where all 3 teammates escape on a helicopter with Dr. Kirk.
The best part is how they dispose of Chompy Boi. Sooooo satisfying. 😎
but are trapped alone in dinotime on dino island forever @@Dinoslay
@OsamaBinObama Dunno what game you played, bud, but I'm pretty sure they escape.
21:48 I believe the answer is Therizinosaurus...? Maybe?
Edit: YES! I am not even kidding when I say that I am genuinely glad I got that right. (Only because I played fossil fighters)
I popped in for a few seconds, I stayed for an hour and a half. You, sir, have a talent. Subscribed. Well done video. And nice editing too. Plus all the references that made me smile. Especially Fallout.
1:04:25 this skit is perfection. I have watched it twenty times now.
Because Steven.....I'm a c*nt 😂😂😂😂 Had me in stitches
Still think this game needs a reboot the first and second games were amazing
I'd prefer a new game with the current Gen graphics
I need a proper sequel to DC2. And no, Dino Stalker doesn't count.
@@TheSlammurai why not?
your comedic timing and editing are on point, subed
Still coming back to this 4 years later
You don't just overlook the third ending of the first game, you miss the point of what that ending represented. The third ending of DC1 is one of my favourite moments in all of gaming, it's an early example of a dev team truly empowering the player to make a decision that isn't spelled out to them, providing a sense of genuine agency that was very rare at the time. As you show in this video, the ending offers you a binary choice between saving a colleague and apprehending the bad guy, with no hint of any third option suggested. However, some players instictively rejected both the presented options, selecting the first from the binary menu but then carrrying out the second. You forcefully stop Gail from doing the stupidly brave thing, but then do it yourself instead. I remember being amazed that the devs had catered to a player choosing this hidden third option - the decision of the true hero who not only saves their fellow soldiers but then also is brave and stubborn enough to head back into the danger and complete the mission. It's the hidden gem at the core of DC1 that many players missed and there isn't anywhere near enough recognition of how novel and clever DC1 was for permitting that level of player agency.
Regina is my waifu. even after all this years she will forever be waifu
That "door accident" also happened to me 🤣🤣
35:04 “Boi of significant Chomp”
😂😂😂
Regina is a Sociopath, that should not have made me laugh as hard as I did but it did.
That Seinfeld que was spot-on
*Totally a "...that's a shame..." moment!*
Kaiba: COME FORTH BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON
I remember being SO excited for Dino Crisis 3. Now it's a part of my memory I block out. I returned it after like 2 hours of gameplay
If they announce a reboot of this during this years E3 I am gonna cry tears of joy
6:34 Got a hard laugh from me 👍
Love the Spider-Man 90s Animated Series reference!
“You can’t escape me! I’ll chase you to the ends of the Earth!!!”
man, i stubled upon your channel and i absolutley LOVE your retrospectives. I like this kind of gamereviews qquite a lot, but I wish there were much more of these on your channel. ur Wit and humor are far more enjoying than any of the dedicated gamingreview channels I encounterd so far!
First time seeing your content and it's about one of my favorite game series. Good job, this was well made and entertaining.
I did know the species of the Therizinosaurus before you said, but only cause I kind of cheated. See, when I was younger and my parents would take me shopping, I would always go to the videogame section and grab whatever guides they had and just read them, even if it was for games I didn't own on systems I didn't own. Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 were my favorites because they were filled with profiles on all the dinosaurs and I loved all the artwork and backstory stuff. I loved the Dino Crisis 2 guide so much that when I eventually got a PS2 Slim years later, it was one of the first games I got. I actually remembered a fair bit from the guide too, which may have made the game a bit easier than it was supposed to be.
Dino Crisis 3...man. I actually really wanted to play it once upon a time, because I actually thought all the space-dinos were cool (still do for a couple of them), but holy shit that gameplay looks custom made to piss people off. Also...it's Event Horizon. Like...wow. At [czcams.com/video/RMf7iXipyu0/video.html](1:20:10) That big spinning reactor looks almost exactly like the Gravity Drive from Event Horizon. Combined with the test ship that disappeared suddenly reappeared filled with horrors, and you've got the bastard child of Jurassic Park and Event Horizon.
Brilliant work! BTW, NEVER apologise for making a long form essay, those are some of the best forms on content on YT.
Dino Crisis 1 and 2 had best intros from that era. Fucking briliant.
This was great. As a fellow Dino Crisis fan, I applaud this retrospect.
"They ate fish!" That's what I say every time someone watches that pterodactyl attack scene form Jurassic World.
Same.
Those were CLONES of Pterosaurs (there's no such thing a pterodactyl). Therefore, they don't need to follow behavioral patterns of the real animals.
@@tylerleach1833 But shouldn't they, if they're clones? I know the head scientist said they'd altered the DNA to make them more marketable (which is why the raptors look different than they'd actually look in real life), but I doubt making pterosaurs hunt larger prey would help with that.
I also looked up pterodactyls, and they were a real thing. Pterodactyls were a genus of pterosaurs made up of only one member, the Pterodactylus antiquus that existed from the Hettangian age to the Valangian age; or in other words, between the early Jurassic and early Cretaceous periods.
@@oldspice051 Well actually, cannon websites give an explanation. You know how many pteranodons (also dimorphodons) were swarming around? Yeah turns out they had way too many and they weren't given enough food or water to support such a large amount of them. So when they broke out, they went to the biggest source of water they saw, which was the Mosasaur tank in the center of the park. Chance are the smell of food from restaurants and such also factored into that.
Yes, but the keyword there is "were." There was a species called pterodactylus, but "pterodactyl" isn't really a term used in paleontology anymore.
@@tylerleach1833 That's interesting, because it would explain why they were more aggressive in the movie. I didn't know about "pterodactyl" being less used as a term nowadays either. Thank you for explaining.
Haven't played these games in years.
After watching this video, I now have a copy of the first two. Thanks for reminding me about a great series. Well, mostly great.
i genuinely enjoy the editing and the subject matter. subbed my man. hilarious and detailed
Who knew the Aliens game we all wanted has been around this whole time in the form of Dino Crisis 2?!
Your channel is an underrated gem, my friend.
2 years late but i learned something, never knew you could escape the first t-rex encounter.
man, I love your commentary it cracks me up! thanks for the nostalgic trip. Also your Killzone retrospective was epic!
To be fair, Regina's not in S.T.A.R.S. (cops doing rescue), she's in S.O.R.T. which is more like the British S.A.S. or black ops teams, which do jolly cheerful things like sabotage and "irregular activities" (kidnapping, assassinations, smash and grabs, etc.). And those guys are often a bit sociopathic ("I shot that insurgent 13 times because the magazine only holds 13 rounds").
Either that or, you know, they got one of the interns to do voice over and she was like "fuck this, I'm not paid enough to emote".
What good would freaking out do? These guys have surely seen this shit before, and they of all people were sent here for a reason. These aren't greenhorn crayon-eaters, they're special forces. They're here to get shit done, not to gawk and cry over the corpses they knew they would probably find of people they've never met.
That reaction was perfect and exactly what I would expect. It's my favorite line in any video game, ever. "Welp. I guess this is happening. Alright then. Moving on."
i wouldn't mind if you replaced every "dinosaur" with that sample from Who killed captain Alex
The main menu always gave me the chills. It’s such a great example of minimalism and terror. It drew me when I was a kid and scared the shit out of me at the same time
How is this the best video to watch after a terrible day? It is a master piece
no one mentions ammo shells... that was so satisfying when using guns in those old games. they don do that today...
8:12 killed me 🤣
42:30
Fun fact about that code in the box from Dino Crisis 2: it changes each game. So you can't really just ignore it.
Unless you want to try out all 8 possible combinations which are: 5420, 2350, 0153, 5210, 3051, 1452, 4521 and 4015
Dont apologize for making it long, I can and will watch you talk about dinosaurs for an hour and a half
this video was a real good time! great work! XD oh.. also stooooooooooooooones!
“ILL SAVE YOU BRO!”
@RedScotGaming
How am I just finding out about this channel? I watched your comprehensive Turok video yesterday, now this. The amount of work you put into these is staggering, much appreciated, and truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work.
your A Gaming Retrospective is a big win for your channel.
That opening sequence when you see the first dinosaur scared the shit out of me as a kid an kept me from ever playing the game 😂
I loved dinosaurs as a kid but that first intro with the scary ass music had me second guessing myself Everytime I wanted to try to play it again lmaoo
If I were trapped on a desert island and could only bring 3 games, Dino Crisis 2 would be one of them. If you haven't played it, you should.
Great video man. This was a lot of work. Thank you very much!
*_DAI-NO-SOARS_*
OH MY GOD THAT AUDIO CUT FROM "Who Killed Captain Alex" IS FUCKING KILLING ME. +Sub. You definitely relived my youth with the review of this game, and making me remember my childhood crush. Seeing that she is still as lovely to this day.
Please call my love for you as "disgusting", Regina.
I would actually buy a PlayStation if dino crisis got remastered, I swear to god
PS6 exclusive
People seem to prefer DC2 more than the first game. I love DC1.
DC1 - Horror... DC2 - Action..... seems more people prefer action.
I like both
They're equally great. I can't rank either higher than the other.
@@TheSlammurai :)
I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality of your channel, keep it up
Mate the editing on this is impeciable loved this Dino Crisis is an absolute nostalgic gem for me bravo dude
The first two games were amazing. Still waiting for a working XBOX Classic emulator to try out the third one.
What were they bloody thinking with the camera in Dino Crisis 3!?
I cannot tell you how much i appreciate your content. Absolutely sublime
Loved the first two Dino crisis games, absolute classics. Great video mate, really entertaining
I was actually looking into getting a copy of DC3 before I watched this. I have since reconsidered my life choices.
Guys they are probably making episode 27 now but its gonna take a while with making new characters and getting everything right cause they have to make the CAC and delete a shit ton
1:12:57 you're a legend for that. I love you added that 💪🏻
That Jojo reference cracked me up so much! I LOVE this dudes humor!
Thar was real fun to watch. Thank you :P
27:02 As a Belgian myself, this is my favorite part of the entire video. Our ""goverment"" is dogshit, they can't even fix roads.
34:29
“Nothing can touch you. NOTHING!”
T. rex: I beg your pardon?
“Okay, maybe that…”
This video is phenomenal and i subscribed because of it, keep up the good work.
Oohff Spooky Aliens 1:11:05
I watched this entire video in 1 sitting
