GOG resurrects the cult classic survival horror games, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, with DRM-free PC re-releases. Both titles, originally released on PlayStation, are now available via GOG's Preservation Program, ensuring their original content remains untouched.
Capcom's Dino Crisis 3 (Xbox exclusive) remains the last entry in the series, despite fan calls for a new game or HD remake. The company's focus on Exoprimal and the comments from creator Shinji Mikami seemingly shut the door on a Dino Crisis revival.
These PC ports, previously difficult to run on modern systems, are now fully optimized 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.
