Yeah, it’s unfortunately that time again for Dino Crisis fans. After Konami finally listening to Silent Hill fans last week, and Capcom giving Resident Evil fans the goods with the Resident Evil 4 remake, where’s the love for Panic Horror? Sadly, that’s not coming for the time being from Capcom, but GVMERS is back with another of their documentaries, this time focusing on Dino Crisis.
The GVMERS documentary covers the inception of Dino Crisis, which obviously owes much of its success to Resident Evil. The inevitable comparisons to both franchises are discussed, alon with Shinji Mikami‘s concept of Panic Horror, compared with Resident Evil‘s Survival Horror.
From there, the documentary covers the development of the sequels, and their gradual move away from what made the original Dino Crisis so memorable for many fans. Consequently, the sequels after Dino Crisis 2 saw diminishing positive response from fans and critics. Things end on a down note with 2003’s Dino Crisis Dungeon in Chaos, a lackluster first-person shooter mobile game published by the now-defunct Mobile Capcom in 2003 for DoCoMo 505i and 505is phones.
As for what the future holds for fans, that remains to be seen. Luckily, in addition to mods and in-development fan remakes, Dino Crisis-inspired titles like Iteria Games’ Compound Fracture and Hashbane Interactive’s Instinction are on the way to ensure that fans aren’t left out.
