GOG resurrects the cult classic survival horror games, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, bringing them to PC via DRM-free releases. Both PlayStation originals are now available on the CD Projekt-owned platform as part of GOG's Preservation Program, retaining their original content.
While Dino Crisis 3 remains an Xbox exclusive, and a new entry or HD remake seems unlikely given Capcom's focus on other titles like Exoprimal and Monster Hunter, the GOG releases offer a welcome solution for fans. Previous PC ports were notoriously difficult to run on modern systems.
GOG highlights the enhanced experience, stating that Regina's famous line, "You're extinct!" no longer applies to the games themselves. These releases boast numerous improvements for modern PCs.
