    I get the vibe that someone at Capcom really is actively working to suppress Dino Crisis, like its existence is a personal offense to them or something.

    • @AntiWhiteOut
      @AntiWhiteOut 5 місяців тому +6

      It could be true. I think maybe it has to do with how the 3rd game convoluted the story too much with unnecessary sci fi elements. A remake could fix that. It only needed 2 games really for the kinda story it was.

      @bernardorodrigues7048 that doesn't make sense. Dino crisis actually had an original idea on how time travel worked in that universe and would be appealing to many nerds who never played it to learn about later in the game.

    The build up to Cooper's joke is top-notch comedy😂
    Dino Crisis 1 and 2 really were the stepping stones for modernising survival horror. Great games. I like how you point out that this game has characters of different race and gender, yet no attention is drawn to it. They are just people. I wish more modern writers learned this trick when going for "diversity" or "inclusivity".
    There are actually 2 corpses you can use to access the lab. It is tricky. You have to use the phone in the room where you rewrite the card to page the researcher with a number written on that phone. Then you need to find the corpse with a beeping pager. It is the one near the elevators. I only figured it out a year ago))

    • @monotonallizard

    Top marks on this video. I also recently did a playthrough of DC using the Rebirth patch five months ago, and replaying the game was such a treat! I've even tried my hand at texture modding and using a free cam hack, which allowed me to make some sexy variants of Regina's costume and also record what happens to her in the Pteranodon and Therizino Danger cutscenes. (They're in my channel, shameless plug).
    I would have done a Barney T. rex, but using Texmod for DC Rebirth is pretty iffy, with textures sometimes being applied on the wrong dinosaurs which is why I gave up.
    And also believe that DC1 doesn't need a remake. As gatekeep-y this might sound, I think that the demand for an RE Engine Dino Crisis is just because players want a third person shooter with less puzzles. But still I would gladly support a remake if Capcom decides to make one, as long as they don't butcher Regina who has been my favorite video game girl of all time. My first Skeb commissioned request was for an artwork of Regina!
    And "horny" is kind of a subjective term, especially for me was a young teenager back then. Let's just say the room transition scenes in the game and having to look at Regina's big butt have rewired my brain towards the female posterior. And the butt was even mentioned in Jim Mazurek's strategy guide in PSM and Expert Gamer. Furthermore, a lot of Regina fan art emphasizes her butt, and I've even seen some comments from Japanese gamers saying they also grew up ogling Regina's butt.😂Call me Coomer, but I'm a professional. I can handle myself.
    But anyway, good job again on this video and congrats on reach 5K subs. Love the Cooper jokes. Jurassic Park 3 is awesome. And good job on the Dr. Kirk impersonation as well. Good luck to you and your channel!

    What's interesting to me, having not played Dino Crisis but being an Ace Attorney fan, is the concept of the Ace Attorney Borginia and the Dino Crisis Borginia being the same place. In one of the Ace Attorney cases that most involves Borginia, there's a thing called a Borginian Cocoon, which is said to be able to cure an otherwise incurable disease but can also be used as a potent poison. They're incredibly illegal to smuggle, carrying the death penalty. Presumably they are implied to be from a natural creature, but if we take the Dino Crisis lore into account, I think it'd be interesting if they were some sort of deliberately developed weapon. There's never an animal mentioned that they come from, so I could definitely integrate that into my belief system. For fun.
    On a different note, WOW your videos are so good. I've just started watching your channel recently but they hit the exact niche I enjoy right on the head. I appreciate the effort that's very clearly on display in every vid I've seen. I hope you get some more traction soon, you deserve it!

    Okay I'm always happy to see videos about Dino Crisis, but a 3-hour-video ? Holy.. xD
    But apart from me not sitting through a Lord of the Rings length video, my thoughts on this are: No old game "needs" a remake but we definitely deserve one for DIno Crisis - especially now after all this time of successful RE remakes! And even if there'll be no remake then we should at least get a port for modern systems, a remaster of some sort. #GOG (bc it's not as easy as to say "well the original game still holds up." Well yes it does, but not everyone is able to play it.
    Anyway.. shoutout to all Dino Crisis fans. 💚

    The fence was NOT torn by Raptors , because they could not follow Regina through the tall fence.
    It was sliced by Therizinosaurs (the one with big claws) . So it make sense also that guards could not stop them with regular arms due to its durability, unlike Raptors.

    • @monotonallizard

      I disagree; raptors are shown smashing through fences and obstacles all through the game, and they're pretty resilient to the sorts of small weapons the guards were using.

    Japanese in general have a way of unnaming countries and cities. Even in franchises like Sailor Moon things like A-City or B-town are used. Another odd cultural thing that's not really worth looking into further.

    • @monotonallizard
      @monotonallizard  5 місяців тому

      It happens a lot in the Godzilla movies too. I just find it odd here given I believe the English script uses different terms than the original Japanese script on other things. For example I'm pretty sure Third Energy is called something like Kinetic Energy in the Japanese version.

  • @Adam-xd9tr
    @Adam-xd9tr 5 місяців тому +2

    Awesome review! I know understand why you made such a big deal about the game being stuck on the PlayStation store, as the more you talked about the game, the more interested I became. It's tricky to find fast paced horror games that don't just become straight up action games (Even if those can still be fun. Resident Evil 4 is one of my favorite games of all time and I'm not in the minority there).
    I'm also impressed by the quality of the voice acting and direction. This was still the era were video game voice acting was all over the place, so I was pleasantly surprised to see how consistent and believable the acting and direction was in Dino Crisis. Perhaps not the best at the time (it's hard to top Metal Gear Solid and Legacy of Kain there), but a lot better than I was expecting to the point it deserves more credit.

    Dino Crisis, had it come out a year sooner, would have been better received, but the problem is, by 1999, survival horror was suffering from franchise fatigue. Capcom tried to keep it going somewhat with code veronica being less fixed angles, but the reality is, cheap jumpscares, backtracking, and fetch quests had overstayed their welcome.

    @Pokellectibles94 3 місяці тому

    I definitely agree that dino crisis has aged extremely well compared to other games from the 90s. I think most of us just want dino crisis to come back because we feel robbed. Dino crisis should have been a huge franchise growing alongside RE. I mean the first one sold almost the same amount of copies as RE1 so it's not like it's some kind of niche franchise that didn't do well and the fans are just being needy. It's more of the notion that all these other games are getting remakes and dino crisis is getting the cold shoulder. It's just sad honestly. A staple of so many people's childhood lost to one bad title that really wasn't even the producers fault (thanks 9/11).
    While a remake isn't needed, I think that's the easiest avenue to show Capcom the franchise isn't dead. Do the super easy remake, let it out-sell every other remake they've done and then maybe we'll finally get a proper sequel to DC2...

      Many dinosaurs had fur like feathered patches or were completely covered. Just the way it is.
      Also, velociraptors are about the size of a chicken to a turkey and heavily feathered with a literal upturned snout. But Jurassic Park thought the name sounded cooler than Deinonychus so an entire generation of kids thought velociraptors were these human sized scary lizard things.
      They arent. They are covered in feathers, their arms looked like wings (so were all of the related species) and a human could punt one across a room.

    Interesting fact is dinosaurs were called giant lizards up to the 1900s. Recordings in China, Rome, Greece and other places in different time periods that encountered different kinds didn't distinguish them apart from any other reptile. Marco Polo had writings about the ones he encountered traveling to and from China and Herodotus (if the right name for the guy that started museums) even wrote of one in a friend's garden (smaller kind).

    It is narrative by Capcom. They are never consistent nor masters of it. The closest they've come to weaving a story together well was Breath of Fire series, because it required it and only in later entries. I don't think Regina is a girl-boss and let's her team mates hash it out. Otherwise if realism, the team leader is always listened to no matter what on a mission. It avoids confusion and maintains consistency.
