'No Conversations' at Capcom about a Dino Crisis reboot at the moment

In an interview with the Daily Star (link may be NSFW), Resident Evil 7 Producer Masachika Kawata - who worked on all three mainline Dino Crisis games - said that whilst he had "hope in [his] heart", he was not aware of any plans to remaster the fan-favourite dino-horror series.

"I think if you were to create Dino Crisis with modern gaming technology it would be a really exciting prospect," Kawata said, before adding there were not "currently any conversations happening [at Capcom], that I’m aware of."

The article mentions "recent rumors", which i'll just assume was about this thread I posted a few weeks ago. Like most things i'll take this as a glass half full. Since rarely will someone mention future plans on titles through something like an interview. Capcom has lied about projects in the works before. Also it's possible that DC is at a different group at capcom HQ. Don't recall specifics but I recall the group that does RE and DMC is one group, and then there is the monster hunter group, and so on.

Regardless i'll always bet on DC. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't even consider it at this point in any capacity. It's bound to happen before I die. Though this news is a bit sad, since it probably means not even a simple rerelease of 1 and 2 on steam are being thought of currently.

One day Jaw, you will have your day. Till then, Dino Crisis 3 will remain the scar on the wall.

That's really disappointing. I think that the series has tons of wasted potential. Would be a perfect fit for that more over-the-shoulder action style Resident Evil gameplay too.

I'm now at the point where I want them to make this game just for Jawmuncher. He deserves it.

You don't need conversations if everyone agrees and knows in their heart to do it.

Kawata hoping " in his heart" .

Poor Capcom devs, they surely would like to make those games.

Capcom bosses though.

They were dumb to not have anything Dino Crisis related in the pipeline for Jurassic World's release when the world was Dino mad.

If they have nothing lined up for JW2's release in lieu of Arc's and Horizons successes then they truly are incompetent. People love Dinosaurs they are hype as shit do something with it.

Love the series.

Dino Crisis = Awesome (Like Alien)

Dino Crisis = It's Ok, action pack (think Aliens from Alien)

Dino Crisis = Shit (so is Alien 3)

How do you feel about robot dinosaurs?

Maybe in some sort of open world setting?

I actually haven't played Horizon yet. I plan to at some point. But the marketing seemed to push more and more away from robot dinosaurs and instead robot animals that I decided to wait on it.

Well, I hope they are working on an HD Monster Hunter for Switch that reimagines the formula a bit, but still has that awesome gameplay.

Pretty much

In addition to this Dino Crisis news, I'd like to add that Masachika Kawata told me he'd be happy to work on a new one if Capcom asked him.

There's definitely interest from staff there over it. Which falls in with Japan offering Vancouver the chance of bringing the series back then. For whatever reason Capcom Japan just seems to have too much on their plate or something.

Reminder that Kobayashi said similar things about Sengoku Basara the month before Sanada Yukimura-den was announced. And Niitsuma months before MvC: Infinite. Stuff like this means absolutely nothing.

Also the quotes seem to specifically talk about remasters, not necessarily the chances of any Dino Crisis project.

They were dumb to not have anything Dino Crisis related in the pipeline for Jurassic World's release when the world was Dino mad.

If they have nothing lined up for JW2's release in lieu of Arc's and Horizons successes then they truly are incompetent. People love Dinosaurs they are hype as shit do something with it.

If they do, it would take a while before we'd hear anything, since Capcom likes having short announcement-to-release cycles.
 
At least they reused the T-Rex boss battle from the first game in Resident Evil 6.

Wait, is THAT why you like RE6 so much Jaw?
