GOG resurrects the cult classic survival horror games, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, bringing them to PC as DRM-free 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 installment or HD remake. The release of Exoprimal in 2022, and comments from series creator Shinji Mikami, suggest a Dino Crisis revival is unlikely.
These PC ports, previously difficult to run on modern systems, are now fully playable thanks to GOG's enhancements. GOG highlights the improved compatibility and numerous features included in these re-releases.
