Capcom has a ton of legendary games that have kept fans hooked for years. Everyone knows Resident Evil and Devil May Cry as these big hits. But recently, fans have been loud and clear about wanting a revival of an older series.
Surprisingly, it’s not an ongoing series that topped the list. Instead, fans are hoping for a new game in the Dino Crisis series.
Dino Crisis Takes the Lead in Capcom’s Latest Poll
In a recent survey conducted by the publisher, fans were asked which franchise they’d love to see a sequel or new game for. The results were pretty unexpected. The survival horror game featuring dinosaurs, came out as the clear winner.

The first game came out in 1999. It was a survival horror game, but instead of zombies, you had to deal with terrifying dinosaurs. The game was a hit and even had a couple of sequels. But after the third entry in 2003, the series pretty much went away.
Fans have never really forgotten about it, though. The mix of survival horror with dinosaurs was something unique for that time and even now, and people have been hoping for a new installment for years. The survey results show that there’s still a lot of love for this franchise and a strong desire to see it brought back with modern graphics and gameplay.
The big selling point has always been Dinosaurs. There haven’t been many high-quality dinosaur games for a very long time, and pretty much none in the past two console generations. They are terrifying and fascinating creatures, and there haven’t been many games that have done them justice.
Why Dino Crisis Deserves a New Game instead of Resident Evil or Devil May Cry
There are several reasons why this series stands out and why fans are eager for a new game. First off, the franchise has only had two good games, with the third one not being received by critics or fans either. The publisher’s more popular franchises such as Resident Evil have had several high-quality entries for more than two decades now.
Another reason is the nostalgia factor. Many gamers who played the original series are now adults, and the idea of revisiting a game from their youth is incredibly appealing. It’s not just about reliving old memories, though. With the advancements in gaming technology, a new game could be something truly spectacular. Imagine the realistic dinosaurs and intense survival scenarios with today’s graphics, attention to detail, and combat mechanics in the RE Engine.
The publisher has proven that they can successfully revive old franchises. The remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 4 were both critically acclaimed and loved by fans, and amongst the absolute best games of their respective years These remakes showed that they can take an old game and not only make it look better but also improve the gameplay while keeping the essence of what made the original games great.
Are you hopeful for a new entry in this age-old franchise? Let us know in the comments.
