Capcom published the Shinji Mikami and Tokuro Fujiwara-created Resident Evil for the original PlayStation in 1996, lighting the way for survival horror as a genre and reinvigorating interest in zombies across popular culture. Several sequels and spinoffs followed in the wake of its meteoric success, and though Mikami produced each one, his hands-on involvement in the franchise’s day-to-day development significantly reduced after the release of Resident Evil 2 in 1998. Such a pivot gave the visionary room to lead production on Dino Crisis, another tension-filled adventure that shook survival horror to its core.
Mikami set his sights on a sub level of the horror spectrum, however, conceptualizing the “panic horror” sub-genre to differentiate Resident Evil’s fear factor from that of Dino Crisis. Like its undead enemies, the zombie series induced terror slowly, evoking tension at a plodding pace which allowed players time to escape, hide, and gather their thoughts. Dino Crisis permitted no such reprieve, its prehistoric antagonists proving faster, stronger, and smarter than the average Resident Evil foe. This change in tempo, along with the introduction of a 3D engine, begat a winning recipe, one that turned Dino Crisis into Capcom’s next big franchise.
Naturally, sequels were pursued and developed. Many would contend Dino Crisis 2 stood head and shoulders above its predecessor. Others were unconvinced. Reverence for the Dino Crisis follow-up entries effectively stopped there, with most fans harboring no love for titles such as Dino Crisis 3. Worst still, the brand’s dormancy following the third mainline outing suggested Capcom struggled with how best to bring its digital dinosaurs back from extinction.
This is the rise and fall of Dino Crisis.

Dino Crisis and Silent Hill deserve the treatment that Resident Evil has gotten
Silent hill are getting one soon.. Let's hope Dino crisis can return as well.
@@danskyl7279 yeah from nobody studios that made 6-7 scoring games. team silent is dead and loooong gone.
@@onceuponatimeonearth I'll take it.
@@onceuponatimeonearth how about you wait and judge it when it comes out?
@@djangofett4879 it's hard to be hopeful when Konami typically drops the ball HARD on SH games past the 6th gen era when they employ inexperienced studios for cheap labor.
Behavior Interactive is the only legit name that can be trusted but even they're iffy.
Oh god the NOSTALGIA on that ps1 intro hits so good
My nipples
Sure as hell does
I once was at a sleepover at a buddies house. His little brother’s room was next door. All night the little brother was trying to get his game shark to work on his PS1. Over and over again for hours I could just faintly hear the start up PS1 sound.
Still haunts me
I literally went and watched the PS intros and then came back to this vid.
They should like bring it back in a way, maybe for the ps6. I loved that intro too!!
"That´s disgusting.." the game that forced me to learn english back then. Still play it once every year. Pure love, hope they remake it
Can defenitely relate to this, although I was already a teenager at that time with much better English knowledge. Heck, video games were the reason why I could improve and master my English in the first place.😂 This, Resident Evil 3 and Parasite Eve (a survival horror like rpg, which only came out in Japan and US (mother of a friend of mine had a chipped ps1 where you could play Discs from all regions) ) still are one of my favourite games of all time and I could replay them all the time.😁
I played alot of the ps1 but imma give th dream cast a try i beaten on hardware but now on steam deck uprez dc emulator to give it an amazing look
Dino Crisis 1 was a fantastic game, from a good story, and good voice dialogue, I sure miss it. You can play it on PC too.
@@HragFarraGaming check out the rebirth pc mod
Absolutely loved the VA for Regina, and that single delivery sums it up.
Dino Crisis and Onimusha need to make a come back.
Capcom: More resident evil
And street fighter!? You got it!!!
And Viewtiful Joe.
Yes and Yes!!!!! Just imagine an Onimusha game in the open world style of Ghost of Tsushima.
What really needs to come back is PS1 best game, Team Buddies.
as sequels - the chorus for 'remake' is grating.
Dino Crisis 2 was one of my favorite childhood games.
I hope one day they remake/revive the series.
I loved both, 1 was more horror and 2 was more action but both were great
Same, I always prefer Dino Crisis 2. But 1 was pretty good too, but the puzzle are extremely cryptic & annoying.
@@danskyl7279
I never managed to finished it, I liked everything but the puzzles went from "ok not too bad" to "Einstein" pretty much to the point I literally looked up the solution online and still did not knew where to go, I felt entirely lost (pretty much right after the T-rex hits the big generator from what I renember)
Action, Horror, Dinos, great game design AND really clever puzzles all in a PS1 (!) game?!?
If i didn't grow up with all these gems, i wouldn't believe it.
@@PuellaMagiHomuraAkemi I gave up on Dino crisis 1 halfway If I recall correctly due to the puzzles, I really enjoy the game the survival aspect, it's freaking scary, but the puzzles are so ridiculous and just killed off my mood completedly.
If resident evil can get a remake and silent hill 2 can get a remake as well, maybe there’s hope for Dino crisis
Hopefully I want to actually play it
Capcom sadly has never stated any interest in creating a remake or even a damn remaster of either 1 or 2. Personally, I want them to stay as they are, we definitely do not need a repeat of Dino Crisis 3
Oh, take me back to those days! The original Dino Crisis was one of the few games I would play over and over again, trying to make sure I didn't miss anything.
That makes two of us. I did not even have a memory card because in argentina they were rare for a while. So everyday after school i would beatdinocrisis 2
One thing I always found impressive about Dino Crisis 2 is how well animated Regina's face is during the pre-rendered FMV cutscenes.
Much better than these photorealistic faces they use nowdays.
Everyone's face is. Dino Crisis 2, Parasite Eve 2 and final fantasy IX were pushing the absolute limits of CG FMV tech with their FMV quality.
DC2 Regina is the quintessential Regina. If they ever remaster I hope they maintain the voice actor for her.
And the way the characters are interact during event cutscene, feels like they're using a mocap acting, Dino Crisis 2 is waaay ahead of it's time
Capcom's PS1 and early PS2/Xbox FMV's and soundtracks are legendary
The one remake we all want but will probably never get.
Nah I wouldn't be surprised if it's next since RE4 was the last RE game that really needs a reamke since no one is asking for 5 or 6 and they're ignoring Code Veronica.
Hell, even Dino Crisis 3 setting in the streets plague with Dinosaurs sounds better over the space ship setting.
Nah, Capcom would rather waste their money that no fan wants like RE4 remake.
@@Noname15514 they will make 5 and 6 too maybe in like 3-4 years
@@Lonequacker we still need resident evil 1 remake in the style of 2,3, and 4 remake, and yes capcom has already said there is a good chance of that happening.
Dino Crisis 1 and 2 were such a huge part of my childhood. I loved this series and I hope it comes back one day
There’s never a more convenient time to release this video just as the announcements and showcases for all these new and returning Survival horror titles are popping up.
Now if only Dino Crisis could join the party.
Nanomachines son!!
And Onimusha.
A remake could work, but I wonder whether Dino Crisis has enough name recognition left among Zoomers to make it worth the money.
If that multiplayer trash ripoff of Destiny infested with micro-transactions fails, perhaps we will have a chance to see Regina again. If not, we will have that woke Regina wannabe from the trailer.
@@webhead4414 I love Onimusha but I think the series is dead, now that the creator (the Megaman guy) is out.
I remember playing Dino crisis one and two as a kid back In the early 2000s. It’s legit one of the few really early childhood games I remember super vividly of how the encounters worked, the amazing music,plus the story (mainly the early stages) and now with the capcom new mission to really deliver quality games again. It would be good to get remakes in their respective styles (the first is horror the next a arcade shooter).
Same here - I'd spend hours running around killing Dinos. The atmosphere of the abandoned Edward City and the isolation of the scientific facilities always stuck with me, oh and the footstep sound effect lol
I only played on emulator from my phone but it was a great experience. I remember playing it back in the day
They should just make part 3. No need for so many remakes.
@@Disconnect350 Part 3 exists and was released exclusively to Xbox but it absolutely sucked
@@scythe321 Yea, they should retcon it. That game is terrible.
Love Dino Crisis. Absolutely made my childhood great. I still think about it today.
Sweet! Dino Crisis: Jurassic Park meets Resident Evil!
It’s simple. Whenever GVMERS uploads, I watch. Love this channel.
Same here!
Not enough click like before watching like i do
Same here!
this one hits me the closest to home! .... We need another Dino Crisis!
This would make for an excellent remaster!
Remake*
I can still remember the day when I first watched my cousin play DC2. It was quite the holiday with everyone in the family. I can remember the doom and gloom feel of the game, the scary dinosaurs, and the iconic characters
These are easily some of the most professional video game retrospectives on youtube. Keep up the great work yall! :3
That PlayStation logo tune will never not make neurons in my brain fire in happiness.
I absolutely love Dino Crisis. It's the long forgotten Resident Evil spin-off series trapped in a time capsule alongside the era of GOOD Jurassic park films.
Great video @GVMERS team! Wishing you all the best :)
Hopefully a Dino Crisis 1 vs Dino Crisis Remake comparisson video
@@saschaberger3212 a dino crisis documentary would be fun too! Gives me an excuse to replay em :)
@@Nick930 I would absolutely watch it :>
Was wondering when this clear candidate for a GVMERS documentary would show up! Criminal that we've still not had a follow-up to THAT ending in DC2.
Damn shame we won’t be getting a RE2- style remake anytime soon.
🎩
🐍 no step on Snek! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
Capcom wants that sweet multiplayer only microtransactions. Can't milk single player focused games as much as multiplayer ones.
You guys should do a video about Onimusha. Because apparently Capcom have no interest in reviving the franchise.
Really wish Capcom did the RE: Remake treatment on the first two games.
Dino Crisis 2 is honestly one of my favorite games of all time.
I remember my cousin had a GameShark that would let you fight the blue raptors who were basically raptors with Allosaurus levels of HP iirc.
On that note, I used to be so scared of the Allosaurus and that fear was ramped way up during the gauntlet, later in the game.
The work you guys put in is unmatched! Keep it up!
i hope one day we get a remake of dino crysis 1 and 2. even maybe a reimagine of the series.
Its was so scary and amazing. The atmosphere and sounds still awesome today!
Another similar pair of games I'd love to see is Nightmare Creatures. One of my favorites, I've never played the second because it's so different from the original.
The world is ready for a Dino Crisis remake
With all the remakes we're getting these days, I really hope Capcom can bring us one for the original game.
Well, Resident Evil 9 is on the horizon.
Dino Crisis 2 was such a great game. They did a great job pivoting off of the first and going full action instead while keeping the same feel of the tank controls.
Which is what killed the series
@@luminousrogue4957 Hard agree, DC2 was way too arcade-y. It went from a game that was eerie and maze-like with item managment but DC2 distances from that which made a lot of the fans of DC 1 very unimpressed.
Alot of people say DC1 is just resident evil with dinosaurs but it actually has some interesting mechanics like bleeding and dinosaurs showing up more frequently if the bleeding is not stopped also your health deteriorates much like getting poisoned in resident evil except it also effects things like how often dinos spawn in areas or how often they are in the vent shaft areas
it was a really cool game with some interesting ideas to separate itself from resident evil i feel it just released at the wrong time so it got compared to everything else on the market
With the advances in tech made since the development of Dino Crisis, if they remade it today, it might be able to live up to Mikami's vision for the game and then some. Maybe they can bring him back on board to get that all sorted since they did not seem to part on bad terms.
Thank you for all your work. I really appreciate your dedication!
Quality content as always. Best gaming documentaries out there, should be on big streaming plattforms!
Awesome! Time for another great documentary from one of my favorite channels
I still remember renting the first game when I was much too young to be playing it, and got really freaked out and couldn't keep going lol. It was a pretty scary game for its time.
Definitely needs a remake, probably the most memorable Dino game growing up. The nostalgia..
You guys should do Rise and fall of Aliens Vs Predator series next. Loved the video.
The combo system in Dino Crisis 2 was such a genius addition, every time I replay Dino Crisis 2 I find myself savouring every moment trying to get huge scores so I can unlock as many characters as possible at the end.
Ah just in time. I was really thinking about the future of the series lately. Hopefully we get a remake one day.
What a gem. Thank for the upload!
Thank you for this one. I adore Dino crisis and think it's a crime a new one hasn't been made.
Thank you for this. Excellent.
I have such vague memories of this series and I love seeing it covered here
Hurry my friend, thank you for watching, hit me up you have w.on a P.S.5 for yourself ☝️🎮 xx❤❤
Always so excited for a new video.
😲 Thank ya' for this. I'been waitin' on it.
Man, you just flashed all my childhood PS1 times.
Good happy and simpler times.
Hurry my friend, thank you for watching, hit me up you have w.on a P.S.5 for yourself ☝️🎮 xx❤❤,,
I love the work you guys do :)
The videos from this channel never fail to entertain us. Keep it up, team!
Half of what I heard here is if Shinju Makami had the tech of today back in the late 90s and early 2000s, he'd have elevated gaming to the level of movies long before they did so normally.
He could have been Hideo Kojima.
Thank you for this!!! I loved Dino Crisis. Brings great memories
Hurry my friend, thank you for watching, hit me up you have w.on a P.S.5 for yourself ☝️🎮 xx❤❤
Love the vids!!!👏👏👏
thanks! great video!
You guys should do a double dino whammy and do the rise and fall of turok next! That would be so badass.
What timing! Going to go a play through to celebrate Halloween.
One of my all time favorites❤️
I love this channel so much
Why hello My kind sir glad to see another upload delving into the deep dark secrets and bringing of some of the most iconic video game series I applaud your dedication sir look forward to a bright future
This channel is amazing.
Wow! The intro to this video is exactly the experience I had the first time I turned on a Playstation.
Imagine if they brought back Dino Crisis like Silent Hill was recently brought back, oh man that would be...
ABSOLUTELY. AMAZING.
Yes 🙌 loved this series
Been waiting 4 years for this!
I must have rented Dino Crisis like 50 times as a kid, awesome game
I LOOOVED this game back then! Flipped between RE and DC like crazy. I always hoped they would make a new One 😭
Beautiful.
Like the Rise and Fall of Silent Hill, this has found its way into my rotating background CZcams videos playing. Great job and iconic VO narration.
Loved the second one so much
What an intro! Like a time machine back to my childhood 😄😊
Truly enjoyed this. It would be wonderful to have a proper Dino Crisis game again, more like the first game. And just because they have the tech now to make a 3rd person over the shoulder shooter, doesn't mean they should. Keeping things like the first game would be magic. And Shinji Mikami could implement the brilliant AI now, because the hardware's there for it. That would add so much to the depth and tension of the already great gameplay 😉
I'd much rather have DC1 play like RE2R and DC2 play like RE4R
Resident Evil meets Jurassic Park. Odd that Resident Evil is mentioned frequently when talking about the development of the game but Jurassic Park is only mentioned later in passing as an influence on fans that drew them to it. The game's whole reason for existing was to cash in on the dinosaur boom sparked by the movie.
Thank you!👏🏼👏🏽💯
You can always do a rise and fall episode on another Capcom abandoned franchise: the seminal jrpg Breath of Fire.
I still have my original copies of Dino 1&2 I bought brand new back in the day.
Omg I literally was thinking about this last week
I still play Dino Crisis on my PS2 with it's backwards compact
Noticed a lot of Dino crisis reviews popping up in the last few years. I’m really happy about this
So... clearly I will watch ANYTHING this channel puts out. I was never a Dino crisis fan, but this was a great story
The Nostalgia is off the charts. Holy hell, I miss those days.
I think they should tie in the Dino Crisis storyline with the Resident Evil universe. Create a modern Dino Crisis game where halfway through, a T or G or whatever Virus merges with the dinosaurs. The enemy artists/designers could have a field day with all kinds of mutated monster bioweapon-esque dinosaur designs.
Gotta give us a vid on the Rise and Fall of the Sim City franchise and how to not make a video. Love the channel, great content!
.this will be a BANGER
I've played the first Dino Crisis a few month ago on PC on the reDream Dreamcast emulator. It was just as amazing as in the days back then so many years in the past! These games are kind of timeless and legendary like the Oddwold or Souls games!
Luckily there are a handful of Dino Crisis-esque survival horror games by indie developers on the horizon. Check out Compound Fracture, Paleophage, Lost Wilds. (Also this is a bit of a plug because I'm developing Paleophage but I am sincerely excited to see the dino-horror revival with all of these new projects)
I forgot all about this game thank you for reviving the dead dinos in my memories.
Oh man, I wasn't prepared for that PS1 boot sequence at the start of the video. That is pure, unadulterated, unfiltered nostalgia.
Dino Crisis 2 remains one of my favorite single player games to date, and I play it again at least once every 1-2 years.
This makes me wonder if we'll see a Turok upload.
Never played Dino Crises but a HUGE Resident Evil fan so really want to play this game with a remake or something.
I love this game so much I grew up with It , like 👍 before even watching
Please keep theses History Vids going
That intro made me stand up and salute.
I loved this Dino crisis II when I was a kid. I was scared, excited ,curious, I absolutely wanted to know the end. one rare game where I persevered and finished. I was not disappointed....except when sequels appeared. lol
YES!! I played DC1 so much on PS1 and PC!!
I recommend all but the third game, but especially Dino Crisis 2. So many great additions to the series and great replayability
Hell yes, with my coffee tomorrow morning
Love the sharpness of emulation.
Finally at long last documentary that tells the rise and fall of Dino crisis to explain why there hasn’t new dino crisis game since dino crisis 3
damn that intro brought back the nostalgia instantly xD remember being 10 and turning on my PS to play some Crash xD good times
