Dino Crisis Games Launch on Steam with Updates

Capcom's classic survival horror games Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 are now available on Steam, offering PC players updated versions of the dinosaur-themed titles at a discounted price. The releases coincide with renewed interest in the genre, as developer Teamkill Media announced a sequel to its recent PlayStation 5 dinosaur shooter Code Violet, despite the original's poor critical reception.

The first Dino Crisis, released in 1999 for the PlayStation, follows a team of agents infiltrating a research facility overrun by dinosaurs after a scientific experiment goes awry. It draws comparisons to Capcom's Resident Evil series with its fixed-camera perspectives, puzzle-solving, and resource management. Dino Crisis 2, launched in 2000, shifts toward action-oriented gameplay, featuring third-person shooting mechanics and combo systems for scoring points while battling prehistoric creatures. Both games arrived on Steam this week, one year after their debut on the GOG platform.

These Steam editions include enhancements for modern systems, such as support for Windows 10 and 11, improved DirectX rendering, 4K resolution options, antialiasing, windowed mode, and fixes for save file...
