Capcom, please, there is a will.

If you miss the days Dino Crisiscombining survival horror with prehistoric creatures and Regina’s skintight jumpsuit, then this upcoming title will probably be to your liking.
Code Purpledescribed by developer TeamKill Media as “our spiritual successor to the legendary game Dino Crisiscombining the tension of classic survival horror with cruel prehistoric threats” started appearing on my social media only recently, and today I found out that it is only a few weeks away.
I immediately perked up. Dino Crisis? Hell yes. I still occasionally revisit the original PS1 classic on PS5 via PlayStation Plus, and I wish Capcom had finally returned to the series. Unfortunately, the concept of this particular game only seems cool until we dig a little deeper into the developer’s past, which is full of questionable titles that were rated as pretty mediocre.
The history of TeamKill Media’s previously released games is tenuous at best. The studio was established in 2016 and released its first title, Kings of Lorn: The Fall of Ebris in 2019 on PS4 and PC. It has it Mixed reviews on Steam and a rating of 3.01 on the PSN store.
Then he came The amount of error in 2023, a PS5 title that finished fourth on MetaCritic this year and had a paltry 2.08 rating on PSN. The studio’s latest game, Son and bonehe may have been the best, with a score of 3.51 on PSN ia User rating 7.3 on MetaCritic.
This doesn’t inspire the greatest confidence Code Purple, although the concept (hot woman shooting dinosaurs) sounds exciting enough and even plot-wise it sounds quite interesting.
“In the 25th century, a cataclysm made Earth uninhabitable and the survivors were pushed to Trappist 1-E,” reads the game’s description on PSN. “Facing extinction due to infertility, the Aion colony uses cutting-edge time travel technology to abduct women from the past and replace them with surrogates in a obscure but desperate attempt to save humanity. But behind their mission lies a sinister plot. As Violet Sinclair, torn from her time, you wake up in the Aion Bioengineering Complex, full of wild prehistoric dinosaurs and malevolent forces. Manage carefully with your equipment, discover Aion’s obscure secrets, fight to survive and escape during a disordered evacuation protocol.
AND fresh gameplay trailer I’m not particularly excited about the game that was released yesterday, either, despite the countless number of skimpy outfits Violet has on display. However, some in the YouTube comments seem to be quite interested, as one user eloquently stated: “Guns, buns and dinosaurs.”
Code Purple will be released for PS5 on January 10 for $49.99, so you might want to give it a shot to start the year. I’m not sold yet, but I guess I’d rather hope so Dino Crisis rework or restart.
