Deal Details
GOG has Capcom Dino Crisis + Dino Crisis 2 (PC Digital Download) for $16.99.

Thanks to Deal Editor Discombobulated for sharing this deal.

Note: DRM-free; no activation or online connection to play. Refer to the product page for the improvements / hot-fixes implemented for the listed titles.

About this Bundle:
  • Dino Crisis
    • Three years ago. A scientist died in an accident during an experiment. His research was on "Third Energy," a completely clean energy source. The accident occurred just as government funding had been cut off because the project was deemed unfeasible. To the public, it was nothing more than an insignificant piece of information. Until now.
  • Dino Crisis 2
    • A year has passed since the operation to retrieve Dr. Kirk. Third Energy, both a source of "ultimate clean energy" and a potential "ultimate weapon," has proven to be dangerously unpredictable. The government, having taken control of the project from Dr. Kirk, continued its development. Then, the "accident" happened once again.

It may be trash but at least let buyers have the option to purchase it if just to see if it can serve as a guilty pleasure.

Everytime I read an article about the RE remakes, I see comments saying this is THE series Capcom needs to remake next.
(I only played 20min of it (PS1 version on a Vita) so I can't argue either way.)

I watched the video on YouTube this morning about this release and I thought I heard the team who worked on it saying that the game was rendered at 4K and then down and scales to your monitors resolution to make it look better (I'm sure I got the actual terminology wrong). I know that's not the same thing as an actual HD remaster but sounds like it might look good!

I believe the term you're looking for is Supersampling Anti-Aliasing or sometimes just referred to as Supersampling.

That was only released on Xbox. That would take a lot more effort to port over than games that already had PC versions that just needed slight tweaks to run.

Just how many people do you think buy these old games? It's not in the tens of thousands. Dino Crisis 1 is in the PlayStation store, btw. It's also included with PS+ Premium.

The OG Xbox was basically just a legacy free PC, using an off-the-shelf Celeron 700 CPU and a GPU that was basically a GeForce2 with a few GeForce 3 features. You could literally run Windows98 on it. The Xbox 360 is the only Xbox console that hasn't used an x86 CPU, so combined with the use of DirectX, porting it would be relatively trivial. Probably not quite as easy as just a recompile of the source code (assuming it still exists), but definitely easier compared to porting a 360 or PS3 game.

Odds are it's a No One Lives Forever situation where there's some kind of confusion over who owns the rights, and since contracts were mostly on physical dead tree paper back then, you'd have to pay someone to go to some warehouse and dig through all the old banker boxes full of old contracts and try to find the right one, then review it, and it's more time, effort, and money than it's worth for the number of copies they figure they'll sell.

All things I'm well aware of. Still nowhere near trivial. Xbox emulation is still garbage for a reason. It's a game designed to run on one set of proprietary hardware/API (very dated now) that would have to be significantly altered. If the source code even exists anymore as you said. I find it highly unlikely there would be any rights issues since it's exclusively a Capcom property.

Tried this version.. it's terrible, they did nothing that hasnt already been done better by modders. You're better off looking up Dino Crisis Rebirth, it's a fan made mod of the original pc release that does what this version does (allow it to work on modern PCs) but also fixes the cutscenes, audio quality, and even has a HD mod that works with it with Ai upscales all of the games textures. Or if you're a purist, grab the PS1 rom and play it on retroarch with a nice CRT filter to get the game looking like it was originally intented to look.
