GOG Resurrects Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 on PC

GOG resurrects the cult classic survival horror games, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, bringing them to PC in DRM-free re-releases. Both titles, originally released on PlayStation, are now available via GOG's Preservation Program, ensuring their original content remains intact.

Capcom's Dino Crisis 3, an Xbox exclusive, remains the last entry in the series, despite fan demand for a new game or HD remake. The release of Exoprimal, a dinosaur-themed multiplayer game, and comments from series creator Shinji Mikami suggesting Capcom's focus on Monster Hunter have seemingly dashed hopes for a Dino Crisis revival.

These PC ports, previously difficult to run on modern systems, are now readily accessible thanks to GOG's efforts. GOG highlights the enhanced experience, stating that Regina's famous line, "You're extinct!" no longer applies to the games themselves.
