GOG resurrects the cult classic survival horror games, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, bringing them to PC with 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 calls for a new game or HD remake. The release of Exoprimal, a dinosaur-themed multiplayer action game, and comments from series creator Shinji Mikami seemingly dashed hopes for a Dino Crisis revival.
These PC ports, previously difficult to run on modern systems, are now enhanced for optimal performance. GOG highlights the improved experience:
Dino Crisis (GOG Version):
- Full Windows 10 and 11 compatibility.

- Upgraded resolution to ~4K (1920p) and 32-bit color depth.

- Bug fixes for animation, video, music, and save file corruption.

Dino Crisis 2 (GOG Version):
- Full Windows 10 and 11 compatibility.

GOG also launched its Dreamlist, a community voting tool to influence future game releases on the platform. This allows players to voice their preferences and potentially bring more classic titles to life.
