Surprise! GOG has released the first two Dino Crisis games on the🐲ir storefront. That’s today! You can get them now! They’ve also announced th꧒e GOG Dreamlist that allows their community to suggest games that they want re-released.
Yeah, sorry, it’s not news of a new Dino Crisis. The series has been dormant since 2003’s Dino Crisis 3, which is something that didn’t happen and therefore didn’t count. I’m kidding. I haven’t actually played the Dino Crisis games, so I’m really justꦕ a poseur. However, that could change.
Like the Resident Evil trilogy that GOG lovingly touched up, the two Dino Crisis games have been brought up to modern specs. Beyond just being friendlier with modern operating systems, the company stat🧸es it “includes Original, Arrange, and PC-exclusive Operation Wipe Out modes. Updates feature enhanced DirectX rendering, ~4K resolution, modern controllers, and fixes for stability, transparency, and save issu🌞es. New options like V-Sync, Gamma Correction, and Anti-Aliasing offer a refined experience.”
If you’re unfamiliar (and I’m only partially familiar), the first two Dino Crisis games are often described as Resident Evil but with dinosaurs. They’re fixed-camera survival horror games that play very similarly. One difference is that Dino Crisis 2 has pre-rendered backgrounds like the Resident Evil games, but the first Dino Crisis had real-time 3D b෴ackgrounds. Doesn’t make muchಌ difference since it’s still fixed-camera.
Alongside the launch, the site is launching the GOG Dreamlist, which is something of a replacement to the Community Wishlist. This allows users to vote on games that they want to get this sort of treatment. Th🌌e Dreamlist is more streamlined, but the idea is the same. It lets GOG know where they should be focusing, and it also helps them show rights holders that there’s demand for a re-release. As they put🏅 it, “Your votes keep the fire burning, even when negotiations get tough.”
Both and are available for PC on GOG today.
