- The latest reason to love Capcom manifests in the form of Onimusha and Okami.
- However, after everything, Dino Crisis is still nowhere to be seen.
- With Capcom’s popularity at a good spot right now, it’s the perfect time to seal the deal with Dino Crisis.
I usually reminisce about video gaming of the past, how it pioneered and experimented with ideas considered bizarre back then but are the norm now. These flashbacks have become a lot more frequent lately because quite frankly, video gaming today is exactly the opposite of this.
In pursuit of photorealistic visuals and blockbuster-level cinematics, we’ve forgotten what made gaming great. However, all hope is not lost. Even today, certain developers are committed to providing a fascinating gaming experience, and one of them is Capcom.
Why it matters: Capcom continues to reward its fans with exciting games, but the one thing we most desperately want still eludes us; Dino Crisis deserves just as much a chance.
Onimusha And Okami, Surprise Of A Decade
There are a lot of reasons to love Capcom, and I’m not talking about only past achievements. Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, and Street Fighter continue to go extremely strong, and the recent Kunitsu-Gami was a solid breath of fresh air. Couple that with its past works, and you’ve got a brilliant developer.
However, if you loved Capcom before, wait till you hear the latest happening. In an extremely shocking reveal, Capcom has brought not one but two highly beloved and sought-after IPs: Onimusha and Okami.
I don’t even know which of these two to call the more jaw-dropping one, as I was equally certain neither of them would appear, but here we are. The unbelievably unique mythological tale of Okami with a beautiful art style, or the samurai action journey that set the foundation of the genre and many of its conventions; Capcom’s on a roll.
It has honestly given me a lot more reason to revere Capcom. I love Onimusha to death, and a continuation after all this time is a dream come true and don’t even get me started on Okami. Both of these reveals in the same event? Capcom was going for the kill no holds barred.

Dino Crisis Stares From Afar
After two back-to-back treats, you must think I’m one ungrateful guy when I say that I wish Dino Crisis was among these revivals. Call me whatever you will, but I’ve waited too long not to voice my concern at this critical point. If Onimusha can return, the Dino Crisis fan in me says start hoping once again.
Capcom crafted an absolute masterpiece of a survival horror in Dino Crisis. From the authentic bleeding wounds to the horrifying, screeching dinosaurs and engaging gameplay, Dino Crisis is Capcom at its finest, and it would be a damn shame to let this feat die off.
Not only did Capcom do splendid work in the past, but its current remake prowess is practically unrivaled. A remake of the quality Capcom produces is hard to replicate, and Dino Crisis is a prime candidate for it. I wish to see Capcom bring back this gem with the same ingenuity it does Resident Evil, and it can take my money no questions asked.
Capcom has the means to do it, and there’s ample demand. So what’s the holdup?
Strike While The Iron’s Hot, Capcom
As I mentioned, there’s no shortage when it comes to demand. If you recall, Capcom issued surveys in the past, trying to gauge the intensity of fans’ feelings towards some of its dormant franchises. And as per my memory, Dino Crisis was at the top of the list.

Don’t get me wrong, Onimusha and Okami are beyond incredible franchises and I can’t be happier for their return, but Dino Crisis has them beat when it comes to insane demand by the dedicated fanbase. If Capcom thought the backing for the prior two was enough to warrant a revival, it should have no qualms with Dino Crisis then.
So, here’s an idea. Give Dino Crisis a chance. The timing is especially ripe now. Everyone’s singing Capcom’s praises, what with Street Fighter 6’s collabs, Monster Hunter Wilds almost here, and now the shockingly pleasant reveals. So much so that they’ve momentarily forgotten the excruciating pain of waiting for years.
Capcom’s already on a roll, but that’s no reason not to aim for even greater heights. People are exhilarated, they’ll essentially die of happiness if Dino Crisis appears now. Their faith in Capcom will be revived, and that’s great news for the company. I can assure you that Dino Crisis will sell like hotcakes, Capcom just needs to give it a chance.
