This is pretty well established in the survival horror community Dino Crisis is Capcom’s most anticipated relaunch in the company’s entire catalog. However, no matter how much fans want it, the studio just doesn’t want to give us a modern entry. For now, we can at least stick with the original game.
As pointed out by Twitter/X user Jawmuncher (thanks, Eurogamer), first Dino Crisis the game – originally released in 1999 – is now available for purchase on the PlayStation Store. Capcom launched it for PS Plus Premium subscribers, but it is no longer available exclusively to subscribed members.
Over on PS Store the game itself, I see it on sale for £7.99 ($9.99) or free if you have a Premium membership. It must be said that this is not a remaster as such. However, the description says you can enjoy improved up rendering, as well as “rewind, quick save, and custom video filters.” All this fancy, contemporary stuff.

As if that wasn’t enough, the same user also noted that the director’s cut is the first Resident Evil the game is now also available in the store. Again, this will set you back $9.99, but it’s free if you have a PS Plus Premium subscription. Both games have been converted from their original PlayStation 1 versions and can be played on PS4 and PS5.
As for the future Dino Crisisdirector Shinji Mikami said he was surprised to learn that so many people wanted the series to return. Unfortunately, with success Monster hunterMikami doesn’t feel the need to flood the market with another series about fighting gigantic, scaly monsters, so that’s modern Dino Crisis (or a possible remake) doesn’t seem to be on the horizon anytime soon.
But that won’t stop the steely determination of the modding community. Last time we checked, fans were already in the process of creating their own unofficial material Dino Crisis sports competitions. However, there is no telling if we will see any of them in the future.
