According to Capcom, no changes have been made to the Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 experiences aside from improved compatibility with modern operating systems and controllers. Both titles are priced at $9.99 each, and are currently available at an introductory 50 percent discount. All of the improvements made to both games are largely on the technical side of things, like using a new DirectX game renderer, and more video options, like V-Sync control, and anti-aliasing, among many other things.

Dino Crisis – originally released in 1999 – was a way for Capcom to make further use of the engine it had already created for the first two Resident Evil games. Rather than focusing on zombies, however, Dino Crisis instead presented dinosaurs as the main threat. The survival horror title revolves around Regina, who is on a covert operation to infiltrate a facility that has seemingly been overrun by dinosaurs.

The sequel, Dino Crisis 2, was released in 2000 and took the story in a new direction by going back in time to the Cretaceous Period. Once more featuring Regina, the action and environment design saw several improvements over its predecessor.

The GOG versions of both Dino Crisis games, released in January last year, featured more enhancements, including localization options and an Easy difficulty mode.

Interestingly, a rumor from August 2025 indicated that Capcom had been looking at ways to bring Dino Crisis back. However, the company has reportedly cancelled two projects in the franchise over the years. The report comes courtesy of notable leaker AestheticGamer, who noted that the company has still been trying to figure out what to do with Dino Crisis.

“I hope Capcom eventually figures out what they want to do with Dino Crisis,” posted AestheticGamer on social media. “For the record and I don’t believe this is new info, but there has been a couple attempts in the last decade to remake Dino Crisis, the first by Capcom Vancouver before they were shut down (still have some of the leaked materials for that on my hard drive actually), the second a few years ago but just wasn’t turning out good so it got scrapped. I hope they one day figure out how they want to go forward with Dino Crisis and it’s able to pass prototyping stages.”

It is worth noting that, while Capcom had continued to develop quite a few Resident Evil games over the years, including the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem, the Dino Crisis franchise has largely been left behind. The last release in the series was Dino Crisis 3, released all the way back in 2003. Interestingly, it is only available on the original Xbox, and hasn’t been ported to any other platforms since then.

Both titles have been released as part of GOG’s Preservation Program. According to the store’s description, the preservation program allows GOG to keep them available for modern hardware and audiences. As part of the program, the game will work on current and future versions of Windows and will be available DRM-free.

The original Dino Crisis revolves around an agent, Regina, investigating a top-secret military project. Things slowly escalate when Regina discovers that supposed research into a clean energy source was shut down and the project deemed unfeasible.

Dino Crisis 2 revolves around the energy source, dubbed Third Energy, being deemed too unpredictable. Players must take on a rescue mission to help the government obtain research data and any surviving personnel.

Gameplay in both titles was based heavily on the Resident Evil titles of the time, complete with fixed camera angles and plenty of dinosaur-related jump scares. The core gameplay revolves around players managing their resources, including ammo and healing items.

The GOG releases feature a host of improvements, including all localizations, Easy difficulty, an improved DirectX renderer, and new rendering options. The games also support modern controllers, including DualSense, DualShock 4, and Xbox Series and Xbox One controllers.

GOG has been on something of a roll with Capcom titles over the last year, having brought the original Resident Evil 2 to the storefront back in August 2024, followed by the original Resident Evil 3 in September 2024.

Mass Effect: Omega

The next Mass Effect is still a long way off but it could seemingly use Unreal Engine 5 based on a recent job listing (and from sources speaking to VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb). In the meantime, why not imagine how Mass Effect 2’s Omega could look in the engine? Leo Torres had the same idea and used the engine to create a dynamically lit scene based on the overall atmosphere from the seedy destination. Though not based on a particular scene or section from the games, it does showcase what’s possible, especially with some gameplay thrown in.

Phylaks, the Warrior – Destiny 2: Beyond Light

Much of the story in Destiny 2: Beyond Light focuses on harnessing the power of Stasis. Before that though, the player encounters Eramis in Riis-Reborn as she bestows Stasis powers to her followers in the House of Darkness. Upon being discovered, there’s no other choice but to run. Phylaks, the Warrior, also appears to stop you but is completely immune to any damage. Eventually you’ll come back and use the power of Stasis to defeat her before taking down Eramis herself.

Destiny 2 – The Dreaming City Curse, Uldren’s Revival, etc

You could write a book on the number of unresolved plot points in Destiny 2. The Dreaming City curse, Uldren’s revival as a Guardian, Mara Sov’s disappearance, the Nine, the Dredgen, Mithrax – the list goes on and on. Heck, we’re only now seeing some plot progression regarding the Darkness aka the giant pyramid ships, but that’s at a venerable snail’s pace. Don’t even get us started on all the threads from Destiny 1 that are still yet to be resolved (like what the Traveler even is).

Half Life 2: Episode 2

We might as well get the big one out of the way. Half-Life 2: Episode 2 saw the resistance creating a rocket that ultimately closed the Combine portal, thus limiting the aliens from calling reinforcements. As Gordon and Alyx are setting out for the Borealis, two Advisors suddenly arrive and kill Eli Vance. Though our heroes are ultimately saved by D0g, the episode ends with a cliff-hanger. All these years and some artwork teasing the Borealis but still no Episode 3, forget Half-Life 3.

Dino Crisis 2, which was in fact directed by Shu Takumi just before he started work on the Phoenix Wright series, should be on its way for a PSN re-release in North America this week.
